There are a variety of Detox diets to choose from, and, not surprisingly, many Detox diets do not have a set amount of days to which a dieter needs to adhere. Often people, who are thinking about going on a Detox diet, wonder how and when they will know that the process is complete. When you overview the Detox diets that are available to you, you will note that some diets do list a set amount of days or weeks to follow the program. But when Detox diets do not indicate a set amount of days, how do you know when the Detox diet has served its purpose? In the case of a fasting Detox diet, there are signs to look for that show that the Detox diet has gone on too long, and it is a good idea to go back to regular healthy food.

The best answer in general to this question is to watch your symptoms and how the Detox process progresses. You will notice the first few days you feel the worst, and have symptoms including increased elimination and bowel movements, fatigue, hunger, and other unpleasant symptoms. In Elson M. Haas and Daniella Chace’s book “The New Detox Diet,” they write about the process from the first to the third day of detoxification. After the third day most dieters report that the symptoms largely go away. However, at first most people have the same reaction of some initial transitional days during which they feel “occasional fatigue, irritability, hunger and increased congestion.”

After the Detox has proceeded for a few days, most people will reach a time in which it is clear to them that the Detox has been successful. People report feeling a general sense of lightness and well-being. They are no longer suffering from hunger, or weakness. When you begin to feel clear, clean and that your system is running optimally it may mean that your Detox process is completed. You can also look for clear skin, reduction of past aches and pains and major increase in energy. You will notice that you are getting restful sleep and waking up feeling calm and alert.

On the other hand, if you are doing a more extreme fasting Detox diet, it is a good idea to stop dieting if you start to experience certain signs. In the book “The Detox Mono Diet,” Christopher Vasey writes about when to urgently stop dieting. Signs he mentions include total exhaustion and depression. Sudden weight loss and loss of vitality are all signs that the Detox diet has gone on too long. An acetone odor to the breath also is a sign that demonstrates that the body isn’t breaking down fats effectively. When people begin to experience insomnia and nightmares that are recurrent, it is another sign that a fasting Detox diet has gone on for too long.

Detox 7

When was the last time you had a detox? Does the thought of having a detox freak you out and you wonder how you will manage for even one day without food? Maybe you are not sure what a detox is but hear work colleagues talk about how great they feel after a weekend detox and you wonder whether you would benefit.

It can be quite frightening to think about going on a detox – especially if your normal diet consists of fast foods, caffeine, snacking and eating on the run.

The purpose of a detox is to give your body a chance to rest, re-balance and cleanse. A detox helps to remove toxins from your body, and gives your vital organs and digestive system a chance to rest and rejuvenate.

As a yoga student, a regular detox forms parts of your intention to live a healthy and more holistic lifestyle. The regular breaks from your usual diet will help to re-balance your energy and leave you feeling feel lighter, clearer and more energised.

If you have never detoxed before, it is important you consider the following seven points before you start. This will ensure you are physically and mentally prepared to get your detox off to a good start. Detox 7

How to Detox in Seven Easy Steps

1. Think about how you feel about your body now and how you would like to feel at the end of your detox. Do you want to feel rested? Calmer? Cleaner? Stronger? Keep an open mind and during your detox hold your intention in your heart every time you are tempted to stray from your programme.

2. Be creative. A detox gives you a chance to eat foods which you may not usually eat. For instance, as a child I “hated” celery, but during my first detox I developed a taste for celery and it now forms a part of my regular diet. I encourage you to use the space to try different types of fruit, vegetables and herbal teas.

3. Decide in advance how long you wish to detox. If it is your first detox then maybe a one day detox might be enough for you. Motivation plays a major part in sticking with it, so choose a length of time which you can fit comfortably around your daily schedule. Maybe a weekend when your children are away would be an ideal time for you.

4. Keep your heart and mind open. Be a witness to all that is going on inside your body. You may experience a slight headache, feel dizzy, tired or even weepy as your mind and body adjust to you being on a detox – especially if this is your first time.

5. Keep a journal and record your thoughts, emotions and inspirations. A detox offers you a wonderful way to explore your relationship with food, the way you eat, what you eat and why. This may be the first time you consciously eat foods to cleanse and re-balance your energy. Use your journal to record your inner world.

6. The new you. Hold in your heart (or journal) changes you would like to make into your daily life following your detox – maybe you would like to start your regular day off with a slice of lemon and hot water instead of your usual coffee or cup of tea.

7. Invite a few friends or your partner to join you on your detox. You can encourage and inspire each other and share your experiences. Any journey is easier with a friend.

A detox is a commitment you make to yourself. It offers you an opportunity to explore your relationship with food and to cleanse, rejuvenate and re-balance your body. Take your time and enjoy the experience. I would love to know how you got on and am happy to offer you guidance and support as you detox. Detox 7
