Your daily detox diet plan

A detox regime increases your intake of foods and drinks that serve our bodies well as building blocks. This plan provides protective antioxidants and simultaneously cuts out those habits that rob you of nutrients and optimal health.

  • Day 1



    Breakfast: 'In the pink' smoothie - soya milk, banana and raspberries.

    Lunch: Garlic mushrooms on rye toast.

    Evening: Fresh (or carton) vegetable soup, baked salmon and steamed vegetables.



    Tip of the day: Try going without newspapers and the TV for a week and see the difference it makes. Instead, listen to uplifting, calming or inspiring music as the mood takes you.



  • Day 2



    Breakfast: Gluten-free muesli with sheep yoghurt and blueberries.

    Lunch: Chicken, celery, tomato and bean salad.

    Evening: Multicolour jacket potato - add grated carrot, raw beetroot, cabbage, fennel and salad dressing.



    Tip of the day: When detoxing avoid strenuous exercise. Make a point of going for daily half-hour brisk walks and take the opportunity to enjoy your surroundings.



  • Day 3



    Breakfast: Tropical smoothie - rice milk, mango and papaya.

    Lunch: Three ready-made dips - guacamole, salsa and bean - with crudites.

    Evening: Buckwheat pasta with pesto and a handful of sun-dried tomatoes.



    Tip of the day: Over the week tackle one clutter hot-spot each day - your knicker drawer, a stack of junk mail or a crowded shelf. At the end of the week you will feel great about this.



  • Day 4



    Breakfast: Watermelon and green apple juice, and organic or low-fat peanut butter on oatcakes.

    Lunch: Greek salad (diced feta cheese, olives, cucumber, tomatoes, grapes, chopped mint).

    Evening: Wholegrain rice stir-fry - add lots of thinly sliced vegetables and large prawns. Add sesame, ginger and a splash of soya sauce.



    Tip of the day: Take long, relaxing baths with candles, scent, bubbles and eye pads made from camomile tea bags or cotton wool pads steeped in camomile tea. Go to bed early.
