In general, detox slimming refers to a short term cleansing out of your system. It involves cutting out all meat, dairy, fish, and eggs. As well as of course a complete ban on caffeine and alcohol. You shouldn't be smoking either. The aim of detox slimming is to leave you lighter with better skin and more energy.
This can be particularly attractive after periods of indulgence, such as Christmas, when many of us feel we may have rather overdone our celebration of the holiday spirit. However, it should be born in mind that detox slimming is not a long-term solution. It's often quite drastic and if continued for long periods of time may have a negative impact on your overall health and on your immune system. This is because you're not consuming bad stuff but you're also not getting what your body really needs. None of us can live on carrot juice forever! That's also why the results are often not very sustainable. If you drink more water and eat more fruit and veg, you will lose weight and feel better. But if you just go in for punishing yourself for a week before quickly returning to your old habits, the positive results will quickly disappear. It might be more realistic to try a more gentle approach over a longer period of time. You could use a short intense cleansing out period to kick-start a change of lifestyle. Just remember that's what's really going to count in the long term is eating a healthy balanced diet and exercising on a regular basis.
