I was watching the biggest looser last night and one of the tips that they said was about detoxing your body. They said to flush your body with water is the best way to detox it. You can still eat healthy during this time, but drink 8-10 glasses of water daily and it will do all the detoxing you need.

I don't drink alot of water either. That is my problem too.
I have alway wanted to do a detox, tried one once and it was so gross that I couldn't stand it.
Can you give me the amounts of what you are suppose to do for your detox?
I tried one with lemon juice, maple syrup and cayanne pepper...it was so gross I couldn't stomach it!
I could do one with different juices though.

8 ounces of Cranberry juice
56 ounces of water
in a pot
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/4 tsp ginger
1/4 tsp nutmeg
in a tea ball
boil lightly and steep for 15 minutes, cool and then add
3/4 cup fresh orange juice
1/4 cup lemon juice
Stevia sweetener to taste
When you wake up mix 2 Tbsp of ground flax into 1 cup of juice and drink. One hour later drink 8 ounces of water. Every hour for the next 12 hours alternate between the juice( no flax )and water. Before bed drink 1 cup of juice with 2 Tbsp of Flax.
Days 2 & 3 Eat Foods like scrambled eggs with veggie, yogurt with berries and ground flax, protein, and cruciferous veggies( broccoli and cauliflower)

I tried out this detox diet. Probably not the same kind but same idea. I was a bit nervous about trying it because I have done other "pill diet" things and got BAD diarrhea. Can't be two feet from the toilet bad. Not funny painful stuff. But I thought I would give it a go. I followed all the instructions and I was constipated bad. I mean real bad. Can't bend over, have 20 pounds of blockage bad.
I wouldn't do it again.
If it weight you want to lose I found just eating right and being active works the best. I lost 60 pounds that way and have kept it off for over a year. If you feel you need a cleansing then I would eat more items with antioxidants like berries.
Glad to be back! Vicki

It depends on what type of detox diet you do. I would say a detox with just fruit and veggies is bad and you will put the weight straight back on after but if you do a detox where you eat just certain foods like fish, veggies, fruit, rice and lots of green tea and water and cut out red meat, bread, pasta, fast food, caffeine etc. you will clean out your system which means that you will continue to lose weight when you come off it because you body will be able to process the food more efficiently. The key is lots of water and lots of green tea. you can also get a product called 4321 slim and detox which I find really helpful too!
