Dr John Tickell’s detox diet

“There are, basically, two ways to detox your body. On the one hand, some people favour virtual ‘starvation’ – merely adding some herbal teas and pure juices.

“I don’t favour this approach, but rather, I believe the best way is to go right back to basics for three days and take in only simple fruits and vegetables during this period (organic, if you wish). After the third day, I then reintroduce simple and wholesome foods. This was the plan we followed with the stars on Nine Network’s Celebrity Overhaul‘s second series, at the Chiva-Som International Health Resort in Thailand. Try it yourself!”
