detoxing - how long until you feel better?

[IlanaK]

I started eating a la Gillian Mckeith (You are what you eat) almost a full week ago. I am eating a truck load of fruit and veg everyday, no wheat, no dairy and a little chicken/fish.meat. Because my diet is so rubbish ususally, whenever I start a healthy eating plan I always feel a bit rough initially as my body detoxes from all the sugar and processed cr*p. But it is usually over in a few days. I still feel rough today and still have a dodgy tummy (usually a side effect of my detox). Is this normal? I have never done a diet so full of fruits and veg (massive fruit smoothies for breakfast, veg for snacks, veggie juices, salads, etc). Perhaps it doesn't agree with me?

Hi ilanak stick with it! I'm doing the carol voderman one i tried the 28day detox but fell off the wagon at day 11 glass of wine. but i lost 11ib and felt great. this time i was just trying to use up supplements and have not been just as strict but after 5 days my headache finally lifted from tea coffe and wine. trying to stick if for another week. Ihope you feel the benefits soon has she a website or questiona nd answers section. I think your body comes alive again without all the crap.keep drinking plenty of water. good luck and let us know how you get along.

Thanks. I will try to stick it out and hopefully things will settle down.

you will feel better soon.
