12 Day Diet Plan

Easy 12 Day Cleanse and Detoxification Diet Plan

This fast 12 day diet came from one of my readers who swears by it. She has tried many different weight loss and detoxification diet plans over the years and this is the only one that gave her good long-term results.

You may lose over 10 pounds in just two weeks which is a little too much according to healthy weight loss guidelines. However some nutritionists claim that a good cleansing diet once or twice a year is essential for a healthy well-being.

And this 12 day detoxification diet will do the job of detoxifying your body and getting you in good shape.

The best time of the year to do this 12 day detoxification diet is spring. The time when our system needs a little boost and rejuvenation.

12 Day Diet Guidelines:

  • Do not eat 3-4 hours before sleep.
  • Use olive oil or any other good quality oil such as flax seed oil or sesame oil.
  • After 12 days have a light menu for another 3-5 days.
  • Drink lots of water and herbal or green tea.
