New plan: Fruits, vegetables & water ONLY. A woman on YouTube made this idea of a pretty good 1-month detox of consuming water & raw produce in it's original state, salad, juiced or smoothies. Nothing else, no sweeteners, seasons, nothing. The point is to reset the body's original state, taking all the accumulated bad things you've been eating out & replacing it with healthy, natural, pure nutrients, minerals, water, vitamins your body needs. The best thing is there's no limit on how much you can eat or drink because it's all good foods! it's best to have all organic food because of less toxicity & pesticides, but i don't see myself paying $5 for 1 apple, so i'll just buy "regular" produce & soak in ACV water to clean it before juicing & smoothing.
PROS: clean, fresh body insides, clearer skin, longer nails & hair, less toxic body, weight loss
CONS: Body may go through "withdrawal" like lightheaded, dizziness, rashes, nausea, breakouts, headaches/migranes, stomach pains, etc. depending on how toxic the body was originally. but none are harmful. it's to be expected as your body goes through purging of the bad foods you were "addicted" to.
