The 7-day detox plan

What's the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the word detox? Probably cabbage cleanse soups and thick green smoothies that you can't drink without pinching your nose. Yes, our grandmothers used to tell us that the healthiest things aren't always the most delicious. But detoxing (or cleansing) doesn't have to be torture.

What if we told you that cleansing the body can be a piece of cake? You just need to follow a few easy tips. Keep reading to find out more.

Ever wonder how toxins end up in your body in the first place? Well actually everything that surrounds us and everything we consume contributes to how our body functions. From unhealthy food, cosmetics and polluted air. Since our body is burdened with these toxins, we also need to cleanse it often. 

We suggest that you take 7 days at least twice a year for a full-body detox. How? 

Prepare mentally

Detoxing can seem scary, even though it really isn't. It's good to mentally prepare yourself before you embark on this journey. 

What is and isn't allowed?

Detox is the process of cleansing the body of unhealthy toxins. This means you’ll have to say goodbye to coffee, alcohol, candy and junk food for a week. 

Does it seem impossible to give up coffee? I hear you!

But luckily there is an alternative: Tummyccino , our delicious slimming coffee .

And who knows, maybe you'll like it so much that you'll continue to enjoy it even after your detox ends!

You should avoid:

  • Alcohol and cigarettes
  • Milk and dairy products (use the alternatives instead, our favourite: almond milk)
  • Coffee
  • Carbs (bread, cookies, cakes, pasta, rice, barley, oats)
  • Dried fruit

You should eat:

  • Fruits and vegetables
  • Fish, lean red meat, chicken (skinless)
  • Eggs
  • Beans, chickpeas, lentils
  • Nuts, seeds (plain, salt-free, roasted)
  • Tea (green, white or caffeine-free black tea)

Start your day off right

The best way to kick-start your morning is to drink a glass of warm water or even better a cup of warm tea as soon as you get up. Our Daily Kick tea is a great way to give your metabolism a boost and elevate your body's energy in the morning. In addition, it will encourage the cleansing of your body throughout the day and give you a new dose of energy.

Feel free to use it as a substitute for coffee because it contains green tea (which we highly recommend for a detox!). And its other ingredients (nettle, fennel, dandelion and black cumin) will help you get rid of bloating and start melting fat.

Drink more water

You should drink at least 2 litres of water a day. Water helps expel toxins from the body and also expels sodium which causes bloating. We sometimes mistake thirst for hunger, so make sure you hydrate before and between meals.

Our Draining Drink can be of great help here. It is a diuretic drink that stimulates the lymph to expel excess water and toxins, and also cleanses the liver. It comes in a strawberry flavour and tastes great. You dissolve it in 250ml of water and drink it in the morning. 

Add probiotics to your daily diet

Our health begins with healthy digestion. 

The cells found in your gut protect your body from toxins and various harmful chemicals. However, when the gut is out of balance, your body can't get the nutrients it needs to best defend against these threats.

There are millions of both "good" and "bad" bacteria in the intestinal tract, but it is important that these are properly balanced. Imbalance that lasts too long can lead to both physical and mental health problems and weight gain.

But with a top quality slimming probiotic like  Flatten That Tummy , you can both lose weight in the abdominal area and support your entire digestive system and boost your immune system!

How does it do this? Thanks to the patented bacterial strain Lactobacillus plantarum IMC 510® combined with green tea extract, chicory, inulin and vitamins B5 and B6.

Enjoy an evening massage

Massaging the skin with circular movements on a daily basis stimulates circulation and improves skin detoxification. 

Why not combine it with the use of our highly effective Anti-Cellulite Lotion?

Our anti-cellulite lotion fights fat from 3 different angles thanks to SymFit® 1617, a clinically proven ingredient that boosts fat burning, prevents fat build-up and slows down the formation of new fat cells.

And the equation is quickly made: less fat = improved microcirculation, improved nutrient transport within the body, improved toxin expulsion and reduced cellulite!

Rejuvenate your body (and mind) overnight

Good quality sleep every night (8 hours is ideal) is the key to the body's health and a natural detoxification system. Good sleep ensures your brain reorganizes, and it also cleanses the body of toxins that have accumulated during the day...

With our Sleep Tight Tea, you'll achieve maximum regeneration of the body at night. Its amazing ingredients (orange peel, peppermint, lemongrass, lemon balm and hops) will help your body to rest, cleanse and regenerate during the night and prepare for a new day!

And the best part? You can find most of these products in one package!

Detox your body and slim your physique in no time with Slim Detox, a 30-day programme that takes care of your body and your well-being

Please note: this is not a classic slimming package, because its 4 bestselling products offer you a holistic approach to weight loss by purifying your body, which will enable you to reactivate fat burning and achieve real results in the long term
