I flicked through this really great book in the bookshop the other day, ‘Dr Joshi’s Holistic Detox’. Has anyone tried it? I’m determined to do a proper food only detox to see if it clears up my acne. And I love how Joshi’s detox allows you to keep eating food. I don’t think I’m one of those people that can go on a ‘juice only for 5 days’ detox or a detox where you fast for a week. I need to eat food. If I don’t, I’ll get hunger pains and cranky and nobody will want to come anywhere near me.
So, I’m considering buying the book and trying it. Possibly between my birthday in November and Christmas, because I know I’ll be eating a lot of foods on those days that would not be allowed in any detox (unfortunately). The only thing holding me back really is the no fruit thing. Fruit gives me so much energy and I love eating it every day. Perhaps I could do Joshi’s detox, but with fruit as well.

I have a great book that suggests that during a detox it is okay to eat the following fruit: Granny Smith apples, lemons, limes, grapefruit, tomatoes, olives and avocadoes.
Oh, tomatoes, olives and avocadoes are fruits!? I thought avocadoes where…I don’t know ….something on their own but REALLY good for you.
I’d be interested to know when you start your detox Fran and how you go about it.
My best ever detox was in Nepal. No Dairy, No Sugar & No Fruit because none of it was available nor did i crave for any of it. Amazing considering my very poor determination in Brisvegas.
However over there I seemed to just ‘copy’, ‘adopt’, accept local eating habits happily, which consisted on lentils, rice & pickled vegetables where available. My skin was the best it has ever been. 8 weeks of immaculate smooth clear skin until i came home 3 years ago to my mothers funeral which also triggered a good ole binge of chocolate!!!
I still do not eat much fruit since that trip even though I was once a big fruit eater!
