24 hour detox to get rid of post Thanksgiving bloat

I hope you had a great Thanksgiving! I didn't go out for sushi as I had planned because we couldn't find any sushi restaurants that were open, so I ended up getting lobster tail, which I was happy with!

We've all been there before - feeling guilty after eating too much on Thanksgiving or another party, which there will be plenty of coming up. If you’ve been feeling bloated, then you know more than anyone that you need to cleanse the junk from your body. It’s not always easy picking which path to take to cleanse your body for the results you want. But, I’ve made it super easy with my 24 Hour Detox.

Of course, one day isn't going to heal everything and get rid of all of the toxins, but it will help decrease bloat. You'd have to follow a longer cleanse (such as my seasonal cleanses) in order to have a drastic effect on your health, but this is a start. You can do anything for 1 day. So, anytime you're feeling super bloated, go on this for a day and see how much better you feel the following day. If you feel you can do it for longer and really want to take that step for your health, check out my 14 day seasonal cleanses by clicking here.

I don’t believe in deprivation, so you will not feel deprived in any way. In fact, you’ll feel quite the opposite.

The reality is, no matter how clean we eat, we live in a very toxic world. Before we even open our mouths to take a bite of food, we are exposed to vehicular and industrial pollution in the air and toxins in our cleaning products and cosmetics. Not to mention the havoc wreaked on the body by stress. So, the question is not ‘am I toxic?’ but rather ‘how toxic am I?’
