Get Back on Track With Our 3-Day Detox
Who's ready for a detox? Our three-day detox is perfect for whenever you're feeling stressed, [...]
THE PLAN:
The plan for our 3-Day Detox is very simple. Following it as closely as possible will yield the best results. There are six steps that you will repeat for three days in a row. Make sure you don't go more than four hours between each step.
If you happen to go off track, don't consider the rest of the day a waste. Just get back on track as soon as you can.
Be sure to drink as much water as possible — even more than you normally do. Your body will need that water to flush out and cleanse your body as best as possible.
EXERCISE + FITNESS:
Exercise helps your body eliminate toxins and can improve your detox results. We suggest engaging in light to moderate exercise during your 3-Day Detox. If you don't have much energy, just taking a short walk outdoors can help you feel rejuvenated. Yoga is a great form of exercise for women during these 3 days. Listen to your body and do what you are comfortable with.

HOW TO PROCEED, POST-DETOX
After the 3-Day Detox, you want to ease your body back into a healthier diet. Begin by eating foods that are easily digested, such as lightly cooked vegetables, fruit and whole grains. Stick to sensible portions and make certain to eat four to six times. Make sure to stay hydrated by drinking at least eight 8-ounce glasses of water each day.
