How to Fast Track a Detox Diet

To fast track a detox diet, you need to prep your body as if you were training for a marathon or for game day to handle the rigor during the detox duration. A detox is most effective when the body sustains little side effects associated with a detox, such as weakness, fatigue or nausea. Thus, the fast way to undergo a detox diet is building endurance and strength prior to setting foot on a detox plan. This plan should be followed 5 days prior to beginning the official detox.

Preparation for a Fast Track Detox Diet

• 1

  Eliminate high fats, such as greasy and fried foods, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners and refined carbohydrates.

• 2

  Use a juicer to juice 1 cup of cranberries, one orange, one lemon and 4 inches of ginger root with skin. Mix in 1/4 tsp. of ground nutmeg. This juice concoction is designed to reduce hunger, boost metabolism, and balance blood sugar levels. Drink 3 cups a day.

• 3

  Take 2 tbsp. of ground flaxseed or psyllium husk twice a day. Mix in with juices with pulp such as orange juice or grapefruit juice.

• 4

  Begin each morning with an apple cider vinegar cocktail. Mix 1 to 2 tsp. of raw apple cider vinegar. You may add up to 1/2 tsp. of honey to taste. Drink first thing in the morning to cleanse the system.

• 5

  Consume only lean proteins such as chicken, turkey and fish. Add side dishes of fresh fruits and vegetables.

• 6

  Eat two servings of low-fat yogurt with "live cultures" each day. The healthy bacteria keeps the intestines healthy.

• 7

  Drink 64 oz. of water a day. This can include drinking green tea.

• 8

  Take a 10-minute brisk walk each day.
