"Anyone tried a Detox?"

As I drink like a fish at weekend, I like to balance it out by cleansing my system with a dash of exercise and a hint of healthy eating during the week.

I've tried a detox twice before, but only got one day into it and caved.

Eating nothing but fruit and salad for a day, and only drinking water or fruit juice is harder than it sounds. that stuff doesn't fill you up, by tea-time I was dying for a burger or a nice juicy steak.

Anyone else tried it, or am I the only one who has too much time on their hands? :D

I do a 24 detox once a month to flush the system out a little.

I have a book called Total Detox by "Jane Scrivner's",it covers six Detox's including a weekend one,quick fix hangover and a relationship one,there's also an ULTIMATE 30 day Detox if youv'e got the time or patience ( I have neither ).

The recovery tips for the hangover are as follows.

Drink water upon rising,sips rather than downing in one go.
Hot water,lemon juice and honey instead of caffeine (as much as you like).
Make yourself a museli,yoghurt,fresh fruit breakfast (no fry-ups).
Keep drinking water during the day to rehydrate.
A little fizzy water (carbonated water re-oxygenates the blood).
And eat fruit,veggies and grilled fish is good too.

yeah, I have several good books, detox dieting and the raw energy bible. I fancied trying the weekend one first, but like I said after one day I got unbelievably hungry. I eat a lot normally y'see and my body wasn't happy with me fobbing it off with rabbit food.

now I'm living back with my parents and have less distractions I may have a proper go.

I know they say to get the best from it you should be relaxed and lazy so that your mind and body both get the benefit,but if I sit around for too long I just get the munchies and want to eat pringles and drink beer.
I tend to do the 24 flush out if I have a fairly busy day,but this just defeats the object...oh well.

I've never tried a detox, I try to eat healthily, drink loads of water and exercise 4 times a week. Personally I can't see the point in being good for a few days just to go and binge at the weekend, just most things in moderation is the way I go, of course everyone has their slip up days :)

Did one a few years ago.

I found rice and vegetables made a relatively good meal.
Relatively.
Compared to the water and lettuce.
