Lemon detox diet: lose up to 3 kilos in 15 days! – GOOD SHAPE

The detox diet does not have to be radical, it can be based on functional foods – those that, in addition to nourishing, make you more resistant to disease and aging. They are also capable of boosting the liver in one of its main functions: eliminating toxins. From this, you are less resistant to weight loss. And get another spike!

Some nutritionists claim that the body is smart enough to get rid of impurities on its own. Others do not disagree, but argue that detox is important to facilitate the purification process. Especially if you usually consume fried foods, foods with trans fat, super-industrialized or grown with pesticides, smoke and expose yourself a lot to the sun and pollution. “These external agents contribute to an increase in toxic components in the body, which, overloaded, may not be able to deal with all of them”, says Isabel Jereissati, nutritionist at Spa Casas Brancas, in Búzios. Result: inflamed cells. What comes next? Everything you don’t want: low stamina, tiredness, dull skin and extra weight.

Fibers work hard in the housecleaning. Therefore, the detox menu is full of vegetables, nuts and seeds. Fruits are also welcome. But lemon is the darling of the diet. “Despite the acidic taste, this fruit has an alkalizing action, which improves the functioning of the organism as a whole. In addition, it is rich in terpenes – a substance that helps the liver eliminate toxins”, says Isabel. Left out: red meat, sugar, cow’s milk and derivatives and chemical additives. During the program, try to avoid refined breads and biscuits. Incidentally, these items can leave your food for good. But if you can’t live without them, the nutritionist advises repeating the detox every 30 days: it can be for seven days or just a weekend. The important thing is to do this type of cleaning regularly. Your body will thank you… with less pounds!
