grapefruit is a natural fat burner, increasing your metabolism

For the same reasons we  change the oil in our cars, your body also needs its detoxification. Over time the body builds up toxicity from poor dietary habits, over consumption of processed foods, inconsistent exercise, stress and lack of sleep.  The liver has to work harder than ever and needs rejuvenated.  After a detox your metabolism will become more efficient in creating energy and eliminating waste, jump starting weight loss.  Take advantage of this 14 day liver detox (After Detox: incorporate a consistent workout schedule: find here) and cleanse your body!

Follow this Detox for 7-14 days for total liver cleansing.

*intense exercising while on detox is not recommended, due to the extreme calorie restrictions.
