The 7-day food-based detox diet is designed for a newbie, for someone who wants to do a longer cleanse (7 to 21 days), for people who aren’t able to go on a more restrictive diet due to time or work constraints, or for people who are generally exhausted and require more protein in their diet (take the adrenal fatigue quiz). While the plan outlined here is for 7 days, it may be followed for up to 21 days.
There are many types of detox diets, from juice fasts to detoxes that allow three meals per day. While it may be tempting to make a drastic change by trying a fast, sometimes simple changes such as drinking more fluids, eating more vegetables, or eliminating wheat can have a profound effect on how we feel. The key is to choose the diet that best matches a person’s health, energy level, and lifestyle.
