That's Fit

I'm wary of detox plans. I think that for the most part they're fads and I don't know if it's really all that healthy to starve yourself for days or even weeks. Having said that however, I've never actually tried one and so really can't comment on their effectiveness.

If you're interested in getting on a detox bandwagon, why not read this author's experience with the Lemon Detox, a program apparently favored by Madonna, Beyonce and Mick Jagger. Also known as the Maple Syrup Detox, the plan's website claims that those who have tried it out report benefits including resistance to illness, weight loss, increased energy, improved concentration and healthier hair and nails.

According to the author of the piece, an essential part of the diet is drinking a palm and maple syrup mixture, along with plenty of water. You don't have to avoid food, but if you do eat, it's got to be organic. The fearless writer claims that she didn't feel hungry, weak or grumpy and she lost weight, slept better and woke up feeling 'perky'. Doesn't sound so bad. Still, I think I'll stick to eating healthy. Would you give it a try?
