    Question How do You Detox yourself?

    I've been overindulging in fatty foods and alcohol big time and put of significant weight. I have a lot of toxins in my body and I'm looking to detox, begin a daily exercise regimine and eat foods to aid in this process. I know small steps like drinking more water, lemon water green tea, and saunas help. Anything to remove the puffiness and bloat.
    Many of the obstacles you once imagined are not even there.

    To reduce a bloat. You have to buy in store fennel seeds,flax seeds,coriander seeds all together it may cost you 10-15$. Ground them all together in a blender. 1-3 spoons on a cup of hot water let it stay for about 5-15 mins, drink it and on the bottom you will see seeds eat them too. You may do not like it at first but in a while you will love it. You may go to the bathroom a lot, cuz this beauty tea has cleaning effect on your gut. Do not ground everything at once first try 1 spoon of each, just in case if you are not going to like it. But i would say try to creat a good habit.
    Effects you will have:
    Weight loss
    Skin will clean up and look healthy
    No more bloat.
    Detox.

    If you want to detox go really slow, not right time for that yet. Early spring is a good time. Start with oats for a breakfast, cut a sugar,alcohol, fast food, add walking outside, sports, detox bath.
    Nice to eat green veggies, leafy veggies( kale and etc)
    Fruits but not so much they may reduce a chance of weight loss.
    Vit C, A, E,D. Try cod liver oil.

    Have you tried green smoothies? It is a great way to start with a healthier lifestyle. I try to have one every morning to jump start my day. I normally put spinach, cucumber, chia seeds and two different types of fruit.

    I love when I stumble into positive feel good threads! I'm hearing more and more about flax seeds added to green smoothies. Sounds hardcore? But I'm thinking about giving it a try

    I had to come back to add that it wasn't the flax seeds that heard about recently but Chia seeds? Never tried any of them but I just went to a Caribbean Grocery Store that I found and got both for an extremely cheap amount. They even sold them already ground up. So Caribbean and Latin Markets may be a good place to go to save some money.

    My detox go-to is a very specific green smoothie. Here's the recipe:

    2 cups baby organic spinach
    1 cup fresh parsley
    1 large organic celery stalk
    2 whole peeled kiwi fruit
    1 cup fresh or canned pineapple (fresh is best)
    1 whole naval orange
    1 cup nonfat plain greek yogurt
    1-2 tablespoons of fresh ginger root
    a handful of ice cubes
    1 cup water

    Blend on high or liquify for 2 minutes. Add a tablespoon of honey if you prefer a sweeter drink. This is a very refreshing drink that blasts away belly bloat.

    If it's practical, going on a juice fast can work wonders (there are mixed feeling about how good this is for you, but it makes me feel better).

    even if it's just ONE day! It's way hard for me to commit to 3-5 days of cleansing/juicing/whatever. Just last week, I did a one day juice cleanse (a bit pricey for me but i felt like it was worth it for my health) and it reset my appetite, at the very least. i felt better afterward.

    Apple cider vinegar is a little bit strong for some people, but also same good and very similar is a kombucha and water kefir. Im getting a little bit drunk after fermented drinks)
    Sometimes to get rid of appetite i drink apple cider vinegar/ kombucha/ water kefir and add chia seeds. I feel energized and not hungry.
    Or i take 2 spoons of a flax seed add cold water, let it stay for over an hour and after flax seed getting like jelly. So i drink it and after also do not feel hungry.
    P.s. I like to use apple cider vinegar as a toner for face not pure but with water. I like to use pure as a peel for face.

    Okay so have been drinking a green smoothie for the last three days and it makes me feel soooo energized and my cravings to snack have been down considerably. I made it with kale,half a banana,chia seeds,fresh pineapple and water. Tomorrow I will skip the banana and add greek yogurt.

    One hour in the gym every morning after work. It is hard for me a lot of days, but I always stick to it, and sweating it out works. It will help you flush out and help with your weight, obviously.

    flax seeds have estrogen in them. so if you're estrogen dominate be careful. Yes grind them if not you won't get the benefits.
