One of the more popular articles on our site is the 7 day detox diet that involves pretty much cutting everything out of your daily diet that can be bad for you.  No booze or fried foods or cigarettes, that kind of thing. Well it isn’t all that hard to do, and if you really put your mind to it you can get it done.

I am 5 days into quitting smoking and my body is feeling better already. I can breath, I can smell, and my teeth are already getting whiter. Accept for the coffee stains. :p Anyway  I may not be doing the whole detox diet thing, but just getting the smoke out of my lungs of a week feels good.

Now I don’t plan on going back to smoking anytime soon, because the goal isn’t just 7 days and yours shouldn’t be either. But I just wanted to say that if you really want to get something done you can do it. Whether it be the whole detox diet or just part of getting healthy.

The most important thing about detox is not getting thin quickly, but becoming a healthier person.  Use the diet to help achieve health and not just the short term goal.

The 3 Day Detox Diet is a meal and exercise regimen that is designed to help you remove the harmful toxins from your body that you consume on a daily basis. Whether they come from processed foods, soft drinks, alcohol, or whatever foodstuffs you consume. The diet involves clean eating, bordering on vegetarianism and drinking water to help clean your body thoroughly.

About The 3 Day Detox Diet

The 3 Day Detox diet is meant to be a short meal plan to help you cleanse your body of toxins that are found in the chemicals used to process food. Did you know that apples are waxed before they are put on grocery store shelves or that if you read the fine print on the label the boneless chicken breasts you are eating contain up to 10% flavor solution. The 3 Day Detox diet will help you eliminate as many of these toxins as you can from you diet and flush your system of the ones that are currently in it.

The 3 Day Detox Diet Meal Plan

Unlike many other variations of the 3 Day Diet ( EG: 3 Day Cardiac Diet, 3 Day Heart Diet) the 3 Day Detox Diet does not require you follow a strict meal plan. Instead it allows for you to select many food options that may be more pleasing to your palate than the restrictive menu on the 3 Day Diet. This will certainly help you complete the diet as it is important to eat foods that you enjoy. Instead the 3 Day Detox Diet controls the type of foods that you are eating. Rule 1 of the diet is that you are not allowed to eat any cooked foods. This mean don’t cook your vegetables and stay away from meats. The problem with cooked foods is you often cook many of the nutritional values right out of them and only leave the processed toxins behind. Meat especially, plus if you are planning on eating any meats that don’t need to be cooked they will generally be filled with preservatives and salts which are bad for your body. And our purpose is to remove the toxins from our bodies, not add new ones. 2nd on the 3 Day Detox Diet’s list of don’t is don’t drink anything but water. No soda, tea, coffee, alcohol, or fruit juice. They are all packed with sugars, caffeine, and other toxins that you just don’t need. And that is pretty much it. Eat organically produced fresh fruits and vegetables and unsalted nuts. You should be able to find a great selection of delicious foods in the grocery store as well as a host of recipes on how to prepare them online.

3 Day Detox Diet does not require you to exercise, but suggest that you do participate in 20 minutes of walking a day. By increasing your level of activity you will be helping your body digest foods and remove toxins built up in your blood.

How Long Can I Do the 3 Day Detox Diet?

The 3 day detox diet is not meant to be done for more than 3 days. This diet is meant to help cleanse your body of toxins and is not a balanced nutrition plan. If you wanted to continue the 3 Day Detox Diet for a longer period of time you would need to consult your physician about healthy ways to increase the amount of protein you are eating. Nuts although a good source of protein may not meet your daily requirements.
