The Detox plan is a diet which consists mostly of fruit, vegetables,
nuts and seeds. The plan aims at decongesting the intestine and
promoting a healthy body. The diet recommends that you also cut
out coffee, tea, diary products and high proteins like meat. According
to Ko Chohan the developer of the diet these are acid-forming and
harmful to good health because the body is mostly alkaline in composition.
The plan is recommended for 28 days at a time.
How Does It Work?
The detox plan is about cleansing the congested intestine. The
plan works on the idea that the colon has 10-12 pounds of waste
stuck to the inner walls. Ko Chohan believes that 'this build up
does not pass through the body with everyday bowel movements' and
requires special techniques to dissolve the sticky substance that
binds them in the body. Believer's of the diet feel that the cleansing
of the detox gives the body the chance to regenerate healthy blood
cells and skin tissue. The detox plan concentrates on a plan of
well being and claims that if the body is functioning well it will
discard any unnecessary weight if it needs to.
How much do You Lose?
Because the nature of the diet is a detox not a weight loss programme,
loses have been very different. Carol voderman lost two dress sizes
in a year.
Are There any possible side effects?
The side effects listed by people on the diet were malaise and
headaches. Ko also emphasised that the body organs especially the
liver and kidneys require support to process the toxins and that's
why they recommend dieters to drink plenty of water and milkthistle.
