Your perfect DETOX DAY
Can you eat tasty food on detox days? Does detoxing work without sacrifices? We say yes!
On a detox or fast day you cut out foods such as meat or dairy products. Detox days regulate the metabolism and help you lose a few stubborn kilos. When detoxing, you cut out ‘acid’ foods - foods that acidify the body - which detoxifies it and restores the acid-alkaline balance.
