Carol Vorderman's Detox for Life: The 28 Day Detox Diet and Beyond

Product Information

The detox plan that I followed when I recovered from chronic fatigue included plenty of food. I never felt hungry. It’s a fallacy that you have to go hungry if you want to detox. It’s about eating the right foods. People who stay thin after they have lost weight do so because they have changed how they think about weight and food.

Each time you refrain from eating the foods you are not supposed to give yourself credit for it. This way you develop faith in your ability to resist temptation and make good decisions about what to eat. I’m on a detox for three months because I’ve eaten so much. I’m terrible, once I start eating certain kinds of food, I go on eating them, so I’ve got to re-train myself.” She points out that most thin people choose healthy food and eat smaller portions than they would really like. I don’t agree with that. An important concept to learn is “I can eat what I want or I can be thinner but I can’t have it both ways”. Making the changes are hard to begin with but over time it will become automatic. You will feel so much better eating the way you do that it will become the norm.

I have just gone on detox basically because I haven’t been eating that healthily and lets say drinking over the governments health guidelines and to be honest I feel like rubbish with no energy. Looking forward to feeling healthier and fit again. Make it a rule to never eat when you feel emotional. Wait 20 minutes or so until you feel calmer and and you will make healthier decisions about what to eat. Probably easier said than done!

You may think that it’s unnatural to write down the thoughts you have when eat things that are bad for you and to give yourself credit when you resist but it works.In her book Carol writes that ” the book covers the 28 day detox as well as how to maintain healthy eating once that is over. You’ll be conscious of exactly what kind of food you’re eating for probably the fist time in your life.” She suggests that you make a list of these thoughts and develop a written response to them. For example if you say “I deserve to eat this” you replace it with “I deserve to feel good about myself”.
