Your body has taken in a huge amount of calories in just a few days. This doesn't just lead to tummy problems, but record weight-gain. Firstly, forget any ideas you had about fasting. The stomach is a muscle, after being filled so quickly it stretches so that you feel hungrier which will make fasting hard. You also risk the yoyo efect if you try to fast, putting the weight straight back on once the fast is over.

-Reduce Your Meal Sizes.
Forget pre-dinner nibbles, drinks and starters (apart from soup), cheese and dessert. A 100g piece of meat or fish, or one or two eggs with as many vehetables as you like, a small amount of carbohydrates and maybe a dairy product, like a yoghurt to finish. Feel fuller and make digestion easier by chewing each moutful thoroughly.
-Think of Your Digestion.
During your detox, avoid fats and sugars which will make you feel heavy and bloated. Choose food which is easy to digestn such as lean fish and meat, wholemeal bread, rice and pasta, plenty of fruit and vegetables and fat-free dairy products. Cook your meals as simply as possible to hold in the nutrients, try steaming, boiling and grilling, without adding butter or oil.
-No Stimulants.
Despite what you might think, coffee and cigarettes won't help you to stick at your detox, they will make things harder! The toxins will weaken your body even more and prevent it from purifying itself. Absolutely no coffee or cigarettes allowed! !
-Three Meals a Day.
No missing meals, as it will upset your body's biological rhythm and the bacterial balance in your gut. Snacking is also out, even if you don't feel hungry, get into a fixed eating routine for at least a bowl of soup or a fat-free yohurt to keep you going.
