The 21 day detox that’s taking Hollywood by storm. 

The Clean Program, designed by cardiologist Dr Alejandro Junger is a 21 day detox. Gwyneth Paltrow and Demi Moore are amongst a host of Hollywood stars who swear by the program.

Dr Junger developed the detox in order to treat chronic symptoms such as allergies, headaches, depression, irritable bowel syndrome, fatigue, weight gain and insomnia, all of which he believes are a result of a build up of toxins in the body.

The detox is gentle but works at a deep level by removing the toxins, restoring what is lacking and ultimately aims to rejuvenate your life.

The program can be followed very easily at home with food and drinks made from fresh ingredients. Alternatively, you can use two meal replacement shakes per day (forget images of The Slimfast Plan) and supplements available from cleanprogram.com, which you can blend with rice milk or a nut milk. This may be more convenient if you are working or travelling.

Dr Junger recommends that you can continue to exercise but should take things more easily. Yoga, walking, saunas, colonic irrigation, massages and other therapies are all recommended during the 21 days to aid the detoxification process. The author takes pride in the success of the detox as it creates amazing results, while being manageable for people with busy lives.

21 days is a lengthy period of time to avoid our favourite ‘vices’ such as coffee, alcohol, wheat, dairy, chocolate and sugar, so a degree of willpower and eliminating any boozy nights out on the town, is required. However, as the detox aims to help the body to achieve optimum health, by the end you will feel utterly fabulous, lighter, younger and healthier.

In addition, if it gives you the Demi/Gwynnie superglow, what’s not to love? This detox requires commitment and willpower but trust us, it delivers fantastic results.
