Detoxing FAQs
Do I have to drink juice? or only juice?
Nope! A lot of people enjoy 'rebooting' or having regular juice detoxes. And indeed, a daily juice is a great way to get easy extra nutrients. But you can happily detox without a juice in sight!
Is it just about losing weight?
Nope! its so much more than that, but some weight loss can be a happy side effect.
Is it about cutting out of lots of foods?
Yes and No, this is not about starvation. So while you will be cutting out some foods (processed, sugary, fatty), you'll be aiming to eat lots more of others! (fruits, veggies, grains)
Where can I start?
Start simply: try replacing a few of your regular meals with less processed options, again, its not about being hungry, but swapping out foods for less processed options.
Here's an example
