Non-Processed Food Detox?!


Question:

Non-Processed Food Detox?

I have read that people who start vegetarian diets go through a "detox" period where they could go through withdrawals and even become sick from not eating their normal diet of processed foods.

I do not want to start an all-vegetarian diet, but I do want to make an effort to become healthier and swear off all fast-food.

Does anyone know where I could get more information about this "detox" period, such as what foods are safe to have along with it (along with the occasional protein or lean meat), whether I can relax my diet abit afterward, how long it will last, severity, etc.

Thanks!


Answers:

I've been vegetarian for about three years so far, and I do not remember ever having gone through withdrawals. If you want to do a detox diet, simply eat only raw fruits and vegetables for a few days.
Beets are good detox foods, and if you start feeling sick, try ginger. My uncle eats crystallized ginger straight out of the bottle; it soothes the stomach.
