DETOX
HI heard the other day on 3 Talk by Noleen where 3 doctors spoke about detox that it is complete bull. They say you cannot clean your body within 3 days and that people are wasting their time. Is that so?
I am detoxing on GI Lean with lots of fresh fruit and vegetables and water. I also eat All Bran in the morning. Will I feel better and will I maybe lose a kg or two?

Dear Disappointed
I must admit that I agree with the panel of doctors on 3 Talk with Noleen. In my opinion detoxing does more harm than good esp when people use harsh laxatives and all kinds of unpleasant treatments like colonic irrigation. If you eat a low-fat, high-fibre diet with plenty of fresh fruit and high-fibre foods then you will become more regular and also tend to lose weight. It is not necessary to take slimming pills like GI lean. Rather start doing some regular exercise like going for a brisk walk for 30 min a day to feel on top of the world.
Enjoy
