Detox diets are intimidating yet intriguing. Celebrities and Hollywood hopefuls swear by detox diets to help them obtain the body of their dreams; however, losing weight with a detox diet is challenging and not necessarily permanent. Still, results can be achieved in as little as a couple of days to a month of careful planning.

Difficulty: Challenging
Instructions
  1. Step 1

    Drink a lot of water and green tea. This will help you begin flushing the toxins out of your body.

  2. Step 2

    Eat lots of organic fruits and vegetables. If they are not organic, remember to wash your vegetables and fruits to get rid of pesticides.

  3. Step 3

    Stay away from eggs, diary products and red meats. Do eat fresh fish or tofu.

  4. Step 4

    Eat raw nuts or beans and legumes. The salted versions only increase sodium, something to be avoided on a detox diet.

  5. Step 5

    Choose brown rice and oats over any wheat products.
