Many women, before starting a diet in order to lose weight, prefer to resort to a detoxifying treatment that purifies their body of toxins and, in this way, supposedly the process of losing weight is more effective.
Thus, given the current trends in this area that point to a growth in cleansing eating routines, a series of regimes have emerged that combine both objectives. Despite its extreme restrictiveness, the defenders of these slimming detox diets also insist on its properties aimed at improving the general health of women who undergo such processes.
Lose weight and detox at the same time
In these cases, we strongly recommend that, before undergoing a detoxifying and slimming food routine, we seek the opinion of a professional in the field. Meanwhile, we can follow a series of general tips to take care of our figure while helping the metabolism to eliminate toxins more effectively.
- Try to replace coffee and alcohol with juices, shakes or smoothies made from fruits and vegetables. For this, we can use products such as celery, carrot, apple, grapefruit, orange, lemon, artichoke, watermelon, pineapple, broccoli, melon, garlic, pear and onion.
- Increase water consumption to two liters per day. In this way, we will actively help both the digestive system to clean its organs and the bloodstream to eliminate toxins.
- Avoid the consumption of products made from refined sugar, soft drinks, fried foods, sweets and industrially processed foods.
- Promote the intake of fruits with excellent diuretic and antioxidant properties: blueberries, strawberries, cherries, kiwis, medlars or peaches.
- Eat five meals throughout the day. The digestive system has to work slowly and steadily in order to prevent excess lipids from being deposited and stored in our body.
- Consume infusions with antioxidant, digestive, diuretic, stimulating or relaxing effects, depending on the time of day. This is the case with green tea, red tea or herbs such as horsetail, ginger root or chamomile.
