Lose up to 11 lbs in 5 days
We found this detox plan in the Womans World Magazine. My friend and I followed the plan and each of us lost 5 pounds.
This is a easy 5 day detox menu!
While using this detox, you'll repeat the same 1,150- calorie menu each day for five days. Why? Repeating the same meals over and over will naturally reduce appetite. Drink as much water and other all-natural calorie-free beverages as you like. You 're encouraged to add a variety of sodium-free all-natural seasonings (herbs, spices, garlic, vinegar, lemon juice). As always, get a doctor's okay to try any new plan.

5-food detox FAQs
- Can I make substitution?
Feel free to swap soy yogurt and tofu for dairy yogurt and eggs in the plan. Other substitions are not recommended.
- What if I feel hungry?
Moderate hunger before meals is normal. If you experience any severe hunger symtoms-shakiness, extreme irritability- you may need more food. Simply double the egg or yogurt portion of each meal to stabilize blood sugar.
- What if I work the night shift?
Plan to have your first meal within an hour of waking and another meal every 3-5 hours thereafter. The key is to set a schedule.
- Can I do the diet for more than 5 days?
It is not recommended. The plan is a great jumpstart, but is too limited to meet your variet nutrient needs over the long term.
Keep losing after your detox!
Continue eating four times a day, but add more healthy variety. Each post-detox mini-meal should include:
- 1 serving of whole grain (such as a slice of bread or 1/2 cup pasta)
- 1 serving of protein (such as 3 oz. chicken or 6 oz. yogurt)
- 1 serving of plant-based fat (such as 2 Tbs. nuts/nut butter, 1 Tbs. olive oil, 1/4 avocado)
- At least 1 serving of fruit or vegetables
- Low-sodium natural seasoning (such as herbs, spices, vinegar or lemon).
