Most people feel noticeably better when they are living a low carb lifestyle. Sometimes we slip, or treat ourselves. When we try to get back on track again we still have the cravings for carbs. Sugar can be addictive, and the more we eat, the more we tend to crave it. After a holiday or weekend away, I try to find three days in a row when I can detox and rid myself of those craving.
I am about to try the detox on skinnyms.com. Eating a low carb regime for a few days, using key ingredients to rid your body of unwanted cravings can help you get back to your low carb lifestyle.
I use recipes with fruit and vegetables, mainly juices and soups to revive me. I try to avoid complex carbs, fats and dairy on these days. Someone once told me, if you feel hungry drink something. Often hunger and thirst can be confused. First drink water and then see if you are still hungry before resorting to a quick snack.
During my detox, I also avoid caffeine and concentrated fruit juice. I choose herbal tea, water, and perhaps a refresher. This is over and above the freshly made veg/fruit combination that may be part of the detox.
Feel ready to try.........good luck and remember it's only for 3 days. Don't think about it too much and keep busy.
