Detox Delight’s five day liquid detox 

As I’ve mentioned on numerous occasions, I am not a fan of fad diets and weight loss gimmicks. However Detox-Delight, in my opinion, does not fall under this bracket. As some of you know, it’s my wedding soon and I started my health and fitness regime about four months ago. To date I have lost 7kgs and plan on continuing my workouts and healthier lifestyle after my wedding.

The Detox-Delight ladies ‘Nicole and Claudia‘ have been vendor club members at www.brideclubme.com for almost a year now and we discussed a detox program for myself to commence about two weeks before the wedding. I really wanted a boost of vitamins to my system, and a good cleanse before the big day and I have heard rave reviews about Detox-Delight and their programs. Of course, it’s always important for me to try out (where possible) what I am promoting on my own website.

About Detox Delight

The Dubai subsidiary of the business launched in March 2012, and is proving popular with health addicts and local celebrities alike.

The 5 Day Plan

For my review, the ladies at Detox-Delight, recommended I try the five day detox plan. I must admit, at first I suggested only doing one day or three days maximum, but the girls convinced me to go for the five day program. With fear in my heart (I love my food), I soldiered on.

The evening before my Detox-Delight program started, I had my box packed full of ‘three days’ worth of juices and soups delivered to my door step. This was extremely convenient for me, as I am usually short on time, and busy.  The foam box was filled with ice to keep my soups and juices chilled. In the box was a welcome back and an after-detox care routine, along with my three day menu plan.

Menu Plan

An example of a typical day’s menu with Detox-Delight is below, this was my menu on day one.

Breakfast:

• Homemade granola with Yoghurt & Mango Mousse

Followed by:

• Orange Detox (Orange, carrot, ginger and aloe vera)
• Pink Detox (apple, pears, orange, beetroot, lemon, ginger)
• Green Detox (green apple, fennel, spinach, cucumber, lime and mint)
• Soup (zucchini potato soup with parsley cashew cream ( zucchini, potatoes, leek, barm, parsley, cashews, lemon, olive oil, and sea salt)

On day one, I experienced headaches (a normal side effect as I am a heavy coffee drinker) and I wasn’t drinking enough water (NOTE: Drink lots of water). I did have cravings for naughty food on the first day, but I hear that is pretty normal.

Further along the day, I became slightly tired and sleepy, by the evening I was ready for an early night, which for me, wasn’t a bad thing at all! Overall the juices and soups were delicious, my favourite being the pink detox and detox lemonade.

By day three I was doing fine, and sticking to the routine. However, I slipped up in the evening after an overwhelming desire to munch on something solid, I had olives, naughty me! I also really wanted a hot drink in the mornings, so I had hot water and lemon. I would have loved to have had a warm drink option in my detox programme. On the evening of day three, I received my final box with two days’ worth of juices.

On the final day of my five day programme, I was felt great, I had increased energy levels, felt less lethargic and was sleeping better than I have before.

The Result

My post Detox-Delight experience was good, while I was already on a health and fitness regime and had lost 5kgs, my detox helped my shift another 2kgs. I felt lighter, had more energy and slept better than I have done in a long time. It was also rather nice not having to worry about cooking and having everything ready and prepared for me. I didn’t really notice a huge change in my skin, but I think that may be due to the fact that I am a smoker and did not really cut down during my detox.

All in all, I had good results and would definitely recommend Detox-Delight to my readers, they are professional, punctual and produce delicious juices and soups. A detox would be ideal for post-Christmas indulgence, and of course for brides looking to cleanse before their wedding. I would definitely try another detox, but perhaps the three-day option next time.

 Cost

A five day detox plan with Detox-Delight will cost: 1950AED.
