Eliminating the unhealthy foods and your body will get rid of the crud on its own. Use your money to buy healthy food instead of the latest fad to "help" you develop a new lifestyle. It will not be easy and it won't happen overnight. One day at a time. Don't be all or nothing, start slowly and then keep upping the bar. It really will work. Good luck.

I have very bad skin...psoriasis. So I have to detox so my skin clears up.  
Actually, the lemon juice detox is one of my favourites. It is cheap, I know what's in it, and it works. I usually do it for 3-6 weeks depending how badly I need to detox.  
The idea of the lemon detox is that it helps clean and support the liver so the liver is better able to filter the blood.  
 
My favorite recipe for lemon detox is from Dr. Oz show.  
1/3 cup lemon juice  
2/3 cup warm water  
As much hot sauce as you can tolerate (I like Frank's)  
Drink on empty stomach first thing in morning.  
 
Start easy on the hot sauce as it can give you a stomach ache if you are not used to it.

when u do the lemon juice for detox can u still eat?

Pm'd you.

Of course you still eat. But you do have to eat healthier foods. I usually go for non processed, unrefined foods. No fried foods, no caffeine, no cow dairy and no red meat. No gluten, no corn and no peanuts. For various reasons, but mostly thses are foods that are harder for the body to digest and you will be much happier with your detox and results if you avoid thse foods.  
Lots of veggies and limited starchy carbohydrates. Protien is important, so have a few eggs for breakfast, a chicken stir-fry for dinner, or salmon and greens.  
Snack on friuts or veggies if you get the munchies.  
Make a mixed bean salad with avocado, salsa and fresh cilantro for lunch. It really isn't hard or any sacrifice. Just step outside your comfort zone.  
There are lots of recipes you can try available on the internet. If nothing else, veiw it as a great exploration of different foods and recipes. Lol.  
 
 
I should also note: you may have a headache for the first week of detoxing because your body is getting rid of toxins. This is normal. Swallow an advil and get on with you day. By the end of week two you will feel great (even when you first wake up). Your moods will balance out and you will just feel better overall. By the end of week three, you will start to see a big physical difference in your skin and hair.

I drink lemon water every day. Lemon wedge and the artificial lemon. I feel it curbs my appetite too.But I eat pretty healthy so its mostly to help with keeping my ph level normal.
