Detox diet: detoxify and dry up to 2 kg in 5 days –

Falling into temptation is a fact. On the other hand, no one needs to give up on staying in line after one abuse or another. “To get rid of the accumulated impurities after a few meals with excess fat, sugar, chemical additives (present in industrialized products) and alcoholic beverages, the recommendation is to adopt a detoxifying diet”, says Andrezza Botelho, a functional nutritionist from São Paulo, who created the five-day menu that you can find here. “In addition to rescuing the body’s balance, it helps you eliminate up to 2 kilos, serving as an incentive to follow a less restrictive diet later on”, explains Andrezza.

Symptoms of imbalance are felt in the body and skin – literally! “Dull hair, skin oiliness, acne and brittle nails are signs of the damage caused by an unregulated menu”, adds dermatologist Carla Albuquerque, member of the Brazilian Society of Dermatology. Other signs that the organism is intoxicated are: lack of appetite in the morning, bitter taste in the mouth when waking up, bloating, headache, dizziness, difficulty losing weight – even eating little -, gases, drop in libido and memory and concentration harmed.

Inside out

The detox diet foresees the consumption of fruits, vegetables, juices and teas that favor the purification of the cells and even accelerate the metabolism. Ingredients such as pineapple, watermelon, celery are rich in substances that improve digestion. Already linseed and psyllium favor the smooth functioning of the intestine. Green juice, with cabbage, lemon, parsley and ginger – a thermogenic that increases basal temperature and caloric expenditure – is excellent for accelerating metabolism. “It should be consumed at breakfast, when we absorb nutrients better”, explains Andrezza.

Note that milk and dairy products (rich in lactose) and bread and pasta (rich in gluten) appear in moderate amounts on the menu below. The explanation is simple: lactose and gluten proteins have very slow digestion and inflammatory action (swell and stew). Red meat is banned for these five days, as it increases the production of toxins. “I also suggest choosing organic products when shopping to reduce the intake of pesticides”, adds the nutritionist. Another peculiarity of the diet is to have six meals, including a tea right after waking up to combat fluid retention. Then you continue eating every two hours and you will quickly see the silhouette deflate and tune!
