The news in nutrition dictates that a cleansing of the body is a previous step and necessary before proceeding to get in shape and lose a few kilos. In this way, the so-called detox diets have become popular, a kind of regimen based on the massive intake of fruits and vegetables through liquid preparations such as shakes, smoothies or juices.
With the arrival of good temperatures, we began to consider these types of options to show off a good figure when we put on our bikinis and go to the beach or the pool. In the following, we propose a short menu, of about three days, with which to begin to prepare the body for said circumstance.
