Did you know your body is carrying roughly 2-6 kg of toxicity (aka inflammation) at any given time? This can lead to headaches, weight gain, bloating, low energy and so much more. And did you know that detoxing at least 4 times a year supports a healthy body for a lifetime? How many more reasons do you need for a detox? Last Friday I completed my 11 Day Detox in Marbella with a personal health coach Leila Glover and I must say I haven’t felt better! I feel energised and light, I have lost couple of kilos, plus I don’t really crave any of the ‘bad foods’, which is a nice surprise.
Hardest part of the detox:
- The shopping:
I struggled to find some foods in Marbella, but in the end I managed to get them all. Don’t be shy to ask Leila or me where to buy some of the ingredients and supplements that you need for this detox.
- The detox symptoms:
I had a slight headache, but to be honest it wasn’t that bad! And it only lasted one evening. The rest of the days I got up before my alarm, I felt like I had double the energy!
- Eating out:
Dining out during the weekend was a bit tempting. I did fancy a glass of wine with my meal, but at the end of the dinner I felt even better about not having any alcohol. Plus I had no headache or hangover - i felt like my weekend was longer than normal! And to be honest when people ask ‘how can you not drink for 11 days’ I start wondering.. is it so weird not to drink at all and is it impossible? Of course it’s not and you can show them how you do it :)
Best part of the detox:
- Feeling super energised
- You can workout and you should
- Feeling satisfied but never bloated after eating
- Looking good and fresh, people will compliment you!
- Not having to think what to cook, just look at your recipes
- Taking time for yourself, relaxing
- Sleeping much better, nicer dreams
- Finding out which foods don’t suit you
- Detoxing methods such as salt baths and oil pulling
- Doing it with my boyfriend - together its much easier!
- The best best part of this detox is that I can see it become my lifestyle!
Even though I eat fairly healthy every day, this Detox program with Leila has helped me discover great and easy recipes that I am still using. Since I did this programme with my boyfriend, he has also grown to like the fresh healthy foods and he is super excited to continue eating in a similar way. This detox is not like fasting or being vegetarian or vegan. You cut sugar, wheat, dairy etc and if you're vegan you can still do the detox, but it’s not a must. The purpose of the 11 day process is about improving digestion with whole, quality fresh foods that are designed to support your body’s natural processes of detoxification and cleansing. And part of the detox was also cleaning you mind and taking time for yourself, which is very important, especially nowadays when everyone is so busy all the time.
