7 Day Detox Diet


A 7 day detox diet allows you to thoroughly get rid of accumulated toxins within your body. It's more effective as compared to a 24 hour detox diet and not as taxing as a 30 day detox diet. 7 day detox diet plan is recommended because the aim of this diet is to provide a complete balance of nutrients and is completely safe with no adverse side effects. This diet does not restrict you to just vegetables and fruits. It is also not difficult and completely achievable.

While you are not restricted to just vegetables and fruits while on this detox diet, it is encouraged to eat fruit and vegetables constantly as it is a fantastic way to ensure your body is getting the right nutrients to keep it healthy and active.

Vegetables
Any vegetables are fine and that includes fresh, frozen or canned vegetables. This includes carrots, onions, turnip, swede, sprouts, cabbage, peppers, mushrooms, sweetcorn, peppers, leeks, courgettes, broccoli, cauliflower, salad, tomatoes, cucumber, spring onions etc. Please note that processed or salted vegetables are not part of the diet and should be avoided. Vegetables are great for keeping up your metabolism and boosting your immunity to everyday infections and are great for ridding the body of accumulated heavy metals and toxins.

Fruits
For a detox diet, your fruit can come from any source, be it fresh, canned (in natural juices) or dried. Fruits are rich in Vitamin C and will serve to really boost your immune system and your body's healing properties. If your source for fruits is ready-made juices, make sure these juices are labeled as being "pure" or "unsweetened". Homemade fruit juices or smoothies are the best.

Beans
Any types of beans are fine, including those that have been dried or canned in water. This includes red kidney, haricot, cannellini, butter, black eye, pinto, red lentils, green lentils and brown lentils. Beans are invaluable to detox diet because they are excellent for the heart and filling to the stomach especially when in the absence of meat.

Oats, potatoes, brown rice, rice noodles and rye crackers are additional essentials for your 7 day detox diet. They are a good source for energy and will ensure that you have the strength to remain active for your everyday activities.

This is how you should go about with your 7-day detox diet plan:

Detox Diet Breakfast
Banana porridge is an ideal breakfast for someone on a 7 day detox diet. Banana is filling and should keep the hunger away for at least a few hours. Banana porridge is made simply by adding banana to regular porridge. Add honey, raisins and yoghurt to the poridge to make it more pleasant to the taste buds. Drink a glass of fruit smoothie made of fresh fruit, natural yoghurt and honey to help you wash down the porridge.

Detox Diet Lunch
For lunch, have a bowl of vegetable soup and oatcakes as appetizers. For the main course, have a plate of grilled cod with jacket potato. The grilled cod fillet is served with jacket potatoes and lightly steamed vegetables. Mediterranean salad is good choice for dessert after your main course.

Detox Diet Dinner
A 7 day detox diet dinner can consist of a western dish made of baked salmon and jacket potatoes or eastern dish made of stir fried vegetables served with brown rice. For the western dish, bake a salmon fillet and serve it with jacket potatoes and steamed vegetables. As for the eastern dish, stir fry a selection of vegetables such as bok choi, spring onions, mushrooms, bamboo shoots and beansprouts in a little olive oil with garlic and ginger.

Detox Diet Snack
If you are feeling hungry during the diet, you may prepare a snack in between meals. A snack can consist of natural yoghurt mixed with honey, unsalted nuts or fresh fruit.

Do this for 7 days and it will leave you feeling refreshed and stronger. Be committed and stick to the diet until completion. At the end of the diet, you will be rewarded with benefits including a lighter body. It's an added bonus as when you go on a detox diet, you loose weight once your body rid itself of harmful toxins.
