The detox diet is a current trend throughout the world, especially on those dates after major holidays such as Christmas, in which people tend to eat and drink a little more than is recommended. These routines start from a somewhat questionable premise, giving food certain detoxifying properties that, on the other hand, can be taken care of by the body’s own metabolism. In any case, given its popularity, in the following we present a menu proposal for five days of detox diet.
