Your daily detox diet plan

Breakfast: Vanilla smoothie - rice milk, pear, lychees and vanilla essence. Sprinkle with finely chopped nuts.
Lunch: Tomato and basil soup with a large corn on the cob drizzled with olive oil.
Evening: Salad Nicoise (lettuce, canned tuna, olives, steamed baby potatoes, spring onions, grated carrot, flageolet or French beans).

Tip of the day:Create an oasis of calm. Even an armchair with a pretty throw, a side table with good light and a book in the corner of a room works a treat. If you can't get any peace at home sit in the library with a book, or in a cafe with a magazine for half-an-hour.

Breakfast: Millet porridge made with soya milk and grated apple.
Lunch: Asparagus, red pepper strips, rocket leaves, lean bacon croutons and Parmesan shavings.
Evening: Curried root vegetables with brown rice and chutneys.

Tip of the day: Call a friend you haven't had the chance to speak to for ages. Make a plan to stay in touch or to visit more often.

Tip of the day: Purge your wardrobe of at least ten items that don't fit, need repair or you no longer like.

Caution

Remember that if you detox too quickly, you could get adverse side effects, such as headaches or bad breath as your body throws off some of its stored toxins. If this is too unpleasant, go straight to the slower maintenance tips in stage two (hyperlink here), which are aimed at creating long-term healthy habits. You should never attempt to detox if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, on medication, have an eating disorder, are diabetic or are under medical supervision.
