You Don’t Need to Cut Your Calorie Intake At the opposite end of the spectrum is the misconception that just because you are detoxing, you can eat pretty much anything you want. As mentioned above, starving yourself is not the way to go, but you cannot load up on calories either. If toxins overrun your system, even a slight increase in your calorie intake can lead to weight gain. You have to watch what you eat and be mindful of the number of calories in each meal. That said, you don’t have to obsess over the calorie count of every morsel you consume! Just make sure you are eating sufficient food and getting optimal nutrition from your meals. Only the Foods You Hate Can Help You Detox You will be amazed (and probably grossed out) looking at some of the foods and beverages people force themselves to consume just because they feel they will help with detoxification. The last thing you probably want to feed yourself is raw garlic, but some people unhappily eat it for dinner (and that too with plain brown rice). Science proves that your body won’t benefit from the food you consume unless you actually enjoy what you eat. Steer clear of foods and beverages that you don’t enjoy eating, because they will end up causing more harm than good. A simpler solution is to load your daily diet with healthy items, such as nuts, whole grains, and good ol’ fruits and veggies. 17 THE ULTIMATE GUIDE TO DETOXING
