This diet will not starve you. You will be simply eating less and more clean so your body can take a break from all those heavy meals. This is a great start if you want to lose weight and clean out your system. When you feel hungry you should analyse whether you truly need food, or you are just bored.
Most people usually break up their days in mealtimes. Therefore, you should really think about your hunger and what causes it.
When you feel hungry you can try chewing some gum, drinking a glass of water, and drinking a detox drink from this article. You can have few of them per day. Also, you shouldn’t drink coffee while on this detox plan.
Coffee isn’t bad for your health, but you should limit the substances you put in your body while you cleanse it. When you finish the detox, you can continue drinking coffee. If you really need some energy kick during the day while on the detox, you can try drinking green tea.
