Holiday foods tend to be devoid of nutrients other than calories. They are sugar and fat laden. The flavors are designed for you to want to eat more. During this time of year (November and December), eating usually goes out of control, a lot of excess weight is gained, and the look of celery, spinach, and broccoli is usually unappetizing.

In January, many people try to jump start their nutrition and get that excess weight off. They think detox.

There are many detox programs out there to try: should you?

There are a huge number of detox programs out there, including herbs to detox your liver, harsh programs that have you drink a concoction of lemon juice, cayenne, and maple syrup, or just water. Most of these are not sustainable nor does the purpose of doing them really get fulfilled.

What happens to your body during a detox? Do you really need a detox? Detoxes tend to be very low in calories, which is harsh and causes rapid fat loss. If you lose a lot of fat very quickly, you will release the toxins contained in your fat. These released toxins cause symptoms, such as headaches, body aches, or rashes. Losing body fat too quickly doesn’t bode well for lasting effects.

If you have a withdrawal reaction to anything, caffeine, chocolate, coffee, cigarettes, or any other such item, it’s really time to detox your body. Avoiding the food that causes symptoms for at least 4 up to 7 days gets you through to the other side. Maintaining it and not going on long binges off your healthy food plan is really the long term goal to not needing a detox. I have tried a number of them and not a single one causes withdrawal symptoms that other people experience, such as, headaches, body aches, itching or hunger.

In this broadcast, I talk about the ways you can do this for yourself in the gentlest way possible. Amazingly, the first step is actually to clear out your environment.
