Detox

I'm starting the twelve week diet & detox starting Monday once I get the weekend over with. I've done it before, & while I'm stuffing my face with tons of fruit & veg I feel amazing. In doing so my blood pressure comes down & so does the weight. The money I save is fabulous & my trousers fit😀

Hi Hidden

Welcome to the weight loss forum.

Take a look at the Welcome Newbie post in the Pinned post section at the right hand side or at the bottom if your on a mobile. Have a look at the nhs 12 week plan, many members have had success following this plan. Use the BMI checker to work out your daily calorie allowance. Take your measurements at the start together with a photo so you can see the changes on the days the scales don't move.

Below the Pinned posts are the Topics where members share a range of weight related subjects.

Have a look at the Daily Diary which you can find on the Home page in Events. It is where all the members are sharing their daily plans on what they are eating and any exercise they are doing. This thread will give you some ideas on how to start.

We have daily weigh in's so why not come along and join us today. You can find the weigh ins on the Home page in the Events section on the right. Just click on the post in Events and record your start weight and any loss/gain or maintain for the week.

You may notice that members have a grey box next to their name, these are achievement badges. All new members have a "newbie" badge to begin with.

Please note if you are using the new HU app it does not have all the forums features on it, so we suggest you use the full website version.

To get the most of the forum be active, share tips, recipes and experiences. Read some of the posts they are very motivating.

Have a good first week.

What toxins are you specifically hoping to expel?

Hi Rignold

I'm afraid its the coffee, lager, & cigs plus wheat, all dairy, & meat.

Back to the sea food😉

Fruit and veg are amazing as you say, and so very good for you, and of course you will feel better for it. But detoxing is a myth, I'm afraid:

If the body really accumulated lots of toxins, we would feel very ill. Detoxing is what your liver does naturally for you. So carry on eating healthily Tony - try looking at the Daily Diary for ideas about what other people are eating to maintain good health, and I wish you good luck on your weight loss journey!
