3-Day Detox Diet Plan For Weight Loss
Here is a powerful 3-day detox diet plan for weight loss that you can follow to improve your health, increase your energy levels, lose weight and make your skin look beautiful. Losing weight or detoxing is not easy but it can be done if you put your mind to it. Simply remember the benefits whenever you get those hunger pangs and you will be able to complete your detox.
While on this detox diet, I highly recommend that you drink at least 8 glasses of water during the day and go for 30-minute walks if possible. If not, an hour of chores around the house will do the trick. The idea is to sweat out toxins from your pores to help your body detox correctly.
3-Day Detox Diet Plan For Weight Loss
The following diet is simple, you will only be eating 5 foods for 3 days, don’t worry, you are going to love the recipes so just hang on tight and let’s get this started. This diet will help you refrain from eating heavy foods that you are used to along with processed foods, fats, and sugar.
The 5 foods used in this diet are:
- Yogurt– provides your body with probiotic

Before we begin, please remember that you are about to begin a diet that requires you to eat the same foods for 3 days in a row! If you smoke, drink or consume coffee, you will have to give that up too for the next 3 days and drink green tea instead so with that out of the way, let’s begin:
