How to Do a Body Detox With a Juice, Fruit and Vegetable Diet

A juice detox is a popular purification method you can use to cleanse the body of toxins, renew the spirit and even lose a few pounds. It differs from a juice fast in which you consume only fresh juices. If you're doing a body detox with juice, you can also add small amounts of raw vegetables and fruits to your diet.

Instructions

1

Prepare your body for the detox experience by eliminating alcohol, nicotine, sugar and caffeine for at least seven days before you begin. Get plenty of water and rest daily.

2

Gather the fruits and vegetables. Organic carrots and tomatoes are popular paired with celery, spinach, kale or cucumber; try seasoning them with garlic or onions. Apple, cranberry and pineapple juices work well, but avoid the highly acidic orange juice.

3

Drink up to 64 ounces of fruit or vegetable juice every day. In addition, drink at least six glasses of lukewarm water daily.

4

Consume only juices and water for the first day. Add in a few solid fruits and vegetables for the second and third days. On ending the detox period, slowly return to solid foods.
