Detoxing the body... is pills and suppliments the only way?  

As in go pure vege?
For how long is that suppose to be?
Doe the list of food include or exclude anything in particular other than meat products?

I'll doing your fitness program or when you want to lose weight I think..

Hmm... but I thought detox is only done for a short period.
One the detox process is over, you just carry on with your daily life till the next time you feel the need to do another detox.

Going on a long term detoxing may not be good for your health.
Correct me if I am wrong, but that is the impression I have about detox.

well I don't actually know precisely how dotox goes..but My siste which is on a weight losing program is always doing a dotox during her weight losing program.

Exercise is now ranked last on my list if I want to do any of it.
Cos it is too painful to be doing any exercising now.

Pill are really costly. And the supplements that comes with detoxing the body don't come cheap either. That is why I am thinking if it is possible to achieve the same detoxing results if we change our diet instead.

I am already drinking loads of water. So that helps a bit I guess.

Go for the natural way then ^_^ By drinking lots of water and getting rid of all the toxics in the body via peeing ^_^ But make sure not to hold for too sure as it will only encourage the growth of kidney stones in the body ^_^ hehe

Hmm... and just drinking water is enough to do the detox?

Yup ^_^ Though it's slower, but at least it cleanses our body system.. U will know the difference once u see your pee being, pure transparent white, instead of thick yellowish or yellow in color ^_^

Oh, do go on. I wouldn't mind listening or reading what ever you have to share on this topic.

So, other than tomatoes, what other foods should we be looking at if we are looking at doing the detox via meals?

The list is quite long but in general fruits and vegetables have lot of vitamins and antioxidants in them. Drink lot of water, the kidneys will wash away minor toxins.

Yeah, I know. That is why I am asking if there are any diet or foods we should include in our diet to aid in the detoxing of the body.

Or whether there are any detox plans that does not require one to buy expensive pill or supplements to do it.
Any idea?

I heard of the patch that goes on the feet.
It doesn't come cheap either.
At almost $10 for each patch, it is a tad expensive.
But I am considering if it is really useful.

Like I said, detox supplements are usually made from extracts of food we eat. I wonder if it is possible to get on to a program that give the same benefits of a detox pill without having to buy the pill or the supplements. Just a change of diet and inclusion of certain foods to do the same job.

Any idea?

Thanks for the link. I will go take a look.
I wonder if the local bookstore carries that book. May need to go and check out the book store this week end.

Hmm... Just water for 8 days?
You don't feel hungry or something?

No, it's 3 days, with a minimum of 8 glasses of water per day. Yo can have as much water as you want, but no less an 8 full glasses.
I haven't done it in a long time and I don't know if I can do 3 days with no food now. I'm thinking about trying it the next time my husband is out of town and I don't have to cook. I can't do it when I have to cook. No way. LOL

Hmm... interesting. And are the teas expensive?
Are they a mixture of tea leaves or there are additional additives to it?

I heard green tea has some detox properties too. But drinking too much of it will cause constipation. The opposite of what your slimming tea does. So I guess green tea is not part of the mix.

Hmm... fast for a day eh?
It is that good? I may give it a try.
Thanks for the recommendation though.

Must plan this properly. Other wise, once the hunger pangs strike, it would be useless already.

Go ahead and do it ! If you plan it in such a way that you have plenty of liquids , you can keep hunger pangs at bay!! you do feel nice and fresh after the experience - all the best :)

Ocen Spray Cranberry Juice, Green Tea and Grapefruit. Got it!
I have heard of using Green tea and Grapefruit. Cranberry juice is new to me.

Just to let you know, too much green tea will cause constipation.

Hmm... I don't know about the water diet. I cannot imagine not eating for three whole days!
I may need to find out more about the water diet.
Don't want to go on it and then faint from hunger when I am not at home.
