Post-Christmas Cleanse

It is likely that Christmas night is one where we allow ourselves the most in terms of calorie consumption. This is nothing to worry about, but if you want to start feeling light immediately after the holidays, then this cleanse can help you. Did you overindulge with turkey, romeritos, bacalao, and buñuelos? No worries, everything can be reversed, and with this cleanse, you'll feel like new. In fact, it has been proven that with this one-day regimen, some women have lost two kilos in a day and have dropped at least one pant size. Now, keep in mind that this is a recovery and detox diet and not a long-term one, so do not try to do it for an indefinite period as your body may suffer. The idea is that whether it's December 25 or 26, you skip all solid foods for 24 hours and replace them with warm lemon water alternated with a festive juice that should include cranberry juice, pomegranate juice, seven cups of water, half a cup of orange juice, half a teaspoon of cinnamon, and a quarter teaspoon of ginger. The acids and vitamins from the fruits will assist the body in burning calories, and consuming such a large amount of liquid in one day will help cleanse the body of solid waste. The natural antioxidants from fruits like pomegranate and cranberry will help nourish the body and improve digestion, in addition to helping eliminate most of the toxins consumed 48 hours prior. Although you may feel a bit hungry during the process, the amount of water (which can be unlimited) that you consume will keep you satisfied. Remember that the effort is only for one day and will surely yield results. After the cleanse, you need to be careful since your body has undergone a drastic change in its diet, so you should start eating solid foods again within a balanced diet of fruits and vegetables. Gradually, you can return to your normal diet and enter the new year feeling stronger.   Detox Diet Recipes   Detox Breakfast In the detox diet, it is important to drink a glass of water with the juice of 1 lemon upon waking.
