Kick-start your slim-down quest in 3 days with our energising, post Christmas, bloat-busting detox.
Nothing beats a healthy, balanced diet and regular exercise when it comes to weight loss, but if you want to have a health boost (especially after the Christmas indulgence), a super-quick body blitz is in order. Our 3-day detox is the ticket to feeling lighter and more energised, with clearer skin and increased mental clarity. Sounds good, doesn't it?!
The rules
1 Start the morning with a glass of warm water and a dash of fresh lemon or lime juice to supercharge your digestion.
2 Sip water between your juices to make sure your body flushes out toxins effectively.
3 Starting from the soles of your feet, exfoliate your body using upward sweeping motions towards the heart. Do this before your morning shower, using a body brush.
4 Cut out alcohol and caffeinated drinks one week before you do the detox.
5 If you feel too hungry on the detox, increase your intake from four juices to five, adding as extra Glowy You smoothie.

You can expect to lose around 3lb, and experience less bloating, more energy and glowing skin. Gentle exercise such as walking, yoga or Pilates can be beneficial, but it's best to avoid high-intensity workouts. This diet is not suitable for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding. If you're taking medication you should consult your GP before starting the detox.
