I seriously need to detox myself for the next five days - got major night out planned next Thurs and I don't think I can fit in to my dress! I've been overdoing the food and booze the last 2 months or so.


Has anyone tried a detox diet that actually worked? I was going to try the Jason Vale Juicer thing but I can't be arsed with all the juicing involved. Oh and I know all the weight will go back on when i start eating normally so you don't need to tell me. I just need to lose 3-4lbs or so before Thurs.


Yours bloatedly,


JJF

What IS detox? Doesn't make sense at all.

Just eat healthily (and you don't need to be told what that means) for a few weeks and exercise a bit more than usual and you'll be fine. I do realise that means over Christmas. The body takes care of itself and gets all it needs from a good diet. Quite often too much of some vitamins and minerals (like you'd get in juicing) can be bad, or the body just chucks out the excess anyway!

Wouldn't it be better to go buy new clothes?! That's what I've done. !!

Why not try a colonic? Let me know how you get on will you? I wouldn't dream of trying it out myself, but that sinister Scottish woman Gillian McKeith seems to consider it the way to go... Have you noticed her web site? She has been air brushed to look about 18 when she is in fact 109 (gasp).

The thing about juicing is that eating 5 carrots in one go probably wouldn't be a good idea and would take some time but juicing them would give you a good cleansing juice and you wouldn't get bunged up with all of that fibre, especially if you will be eating a whole beetroot and three apples too.

There are special bath crystals that can be purchased at SpaceNK called INA detox crystals. Apparently they are so very detoxifying that they turn the urine orange... They are a snip at only ?44 per bath. I haven't tried them myself, my mother in law stole mine when she visited last summer and was almost admitted to hospital when her unexplained "symptoms" developed. I don't think that she will be rummaging around in my en-suite again for a while (sigh).

(Quite) a while ago Mrs O organised the whole oldie family and we did the Ian Marber Food Doctor Diet. It's a seven day detox plan and I found it (lost just under half a stone in a week)incredibly effective and I liked the recipes. Apart from that i've found the quickest way to lose weight is to cut out the carbs, bread, pasta, rice, drink lots of water, no booze and get a bit more exercise.


It's ok for a week but one wouldn't want to make this a lifestyle choice. Well, I didn't.

No carbs for dinner and eat little and often during the day. Try to get more cals from protein rather than carbs (not easy!). Carb up in the morning by eating a good sized portion of museli that will keep you going till lunch. Drink plenty of water over the corse of the day (around 3 litres if you can).


Limit caffeine intake - nothing after lunch if you can. If you drink milk based coffee, then always use skimmed or semi-skimmed milk.


If you do a desk job like me, you need surprisingly few carbs to get you through the day. Snack on fruit or popcorn!

Aren't seaweed wraps meant to make you lose a few inches instantly? I think they work until you drink something and the natural weight resumes.


If you had one on Thursday afternoon you could get into your dress. Just don't drink champagne or you'll turn into Cinderella.

    • I have had disappointing deliveries from matoom too, it seems better when I've eaten in. Also they do their own deliveries if you order from their website.
    • Hope you all had a happy Christmas & good New Year  Here are your Gardening Tips  for February . Their not too long, but they need doing if you are to have a good garden this year  1. Pruning.  Before the birds need a nest prune your hedges especially the deciduous ones . Important to still prune Roses . Cut back Rose bushes hard to a bud & creating a rounded plant . Prune your trees before the sap rises especially Buddleja Hydrangeas hardy Fuschias Lavatera Bay Leylandii You can cut back Spring flowering tree’s after they have flowered later in Spring  Prune climbing plants like Virginia creeper & Ivy very hard . Remember they will grow back prolifically  You can prune Wisteria twice a year & February is one of them . Cut back the whips (smaller branches) to 3 buds before the main stems . You can prune a few of the thicker stems to give the plant shape & form. Give it a feed if you want it to flower  Cut back any grasses so they can grow in Spring  Prune Jasmines & winter flowering Jasmines. They will reward you with beautiful smelling flowers during Spring & Summer    2 If it ever gets dry again mow your lawn at top height of your mower. Repair patches & trim all borders with a half moon spade . It’s a good time of year to lay new lawns levelling the ground adding sand feed & topsoil    Power wash your patios paths & wooden structures & furniture. You can then give them an appropriate treatment when they have dried out  That’s it for now. I told you it wasn’t too long, Do these if you can, but if you want someone to carry it out for you, I recommend any of the we’ll recommended gardeners on the forum including myself & my colleagues  Please give me a call on :  07759862191. Well done if you managed to read this. Nigel
    • Hello, I’ve got a 1980’s  one if you’re interested it works fine a bit old school 
    • Another recommendation for Greg.  He provided excellent service - fast response, quote and then fitting the job in.  The inbuilt wardrobes he made are of a very high quality and he was a pleasure to work with.  Helped us with some additional shelving and a broken floorboard too.  Highly recommend!
