Great question! I guess I should have done a blog about that sooner. Well here's what I know through my friend Jeff Moser. About 4 times a year, I do a detox with the Detox-Kit from Heel. I got it through him, but I would think it's available at health stores. Plus there are many others out there.
This one has three tinctures. You put 10 drops of each in juice 3 times a day. No food to give your body a rest. Lots of water, juice, tea etc. If you really need to eat something fruit is fine because it's easy to digest. I usually don't even need fruit, maybe a little the first day, but you get used to not eating.
I make sure to do it on days that I'll be very busy - keep your mind off of eating or else you will obsess about it! (lol) I never had any adverse effects from it. After that 3rd day, I usually feel incredibly lean. I know several people who lose a decent amount of weight when they do it. I usually drop about 3-4 lbs. Then you want to start your very clean diet to keep those pounds off. It's a good way to kick off your new diet.
