How to Fast Track a Detox Diet
To fast track a detox diet, you need to prep your body as if you were training for a marathon or for game day to handle the rigor during the detox duration. A detox is most effective when the body sustains little side effects associated with a detox, such as weakness, fatigue or nausea. Thus, the fast way to undergo a detox diet is building endurance and strength prior to setting foot on a detox plan. This plan should be followed 5 days prior to beginning the official detox.
