Detox in Phuket

I’ve always been obsessed with health, feeling good, fitness and trying out different diets. But the furthest I’ve ever gone is cutting my calories which honestly haven’t been good for anything else than my aesthetics. I’ve been thinking on and off about going on a detox but never really found the time to do it. I’ve seen plenty of juice cleanses and deliveries available online but somehow I just couldn’t see myself withstanding the temptations of other foods while staying home. I’ve been feeling so tired lately, and came over LifeCo Well-Being Detox Retreat Center in Phuket, where you can go on a little holiday at a cosy little resort while detoxing. It’s perfect to keep your mind off things.

Picture are all taken from their website.

I’ll be going there for a cleance from the 7^th and are doing it for 5 full days, I’ve already started preparing for the stay. I haven’t decided what treatment I will be doing as I want to talk to the doctor at the site to see what’s best for me. At first I was a bit scared when I was presented with the pre-detox list but after a few days off these things I’m already feeling better! You should prepare around 5 days before you go to both alkalize you and prepare your body for deeper cleansing and for the effect of the detox to be maximized.

Things you need to cut out of your daily intake is:

• Meat, dairy products, salt, sugar or foods with added sugar.
• Fried food, or foods cooked in oils.

You also need to increase your daily intake of raw fruits and vegetables and drink at least one raw, organic fruit or vegetable juice per day.

On a warm day you you should be drinking around 6% of your bodyweight, so around 3.5 litres for me, this excludes coffee and juices. It feels so good to be properly hydrated and it gives you so much more energy already.

Last but not least, no food after 7, only herbal teas!

So excited to be doing yoga every day, doesn’t it look amazing?

I can’t wait to start on a new page and to feel fresh again! I’m really in need of this detox after the race and all the travelling and stress with school. It’s hard to control what you’re eating when you’re on the go, and often just have to grab whatever is available.

I think the hardest part for me will be staying away from meat for that long. That’s never been done before. I bet it’s going to feel great for the body and conscience.

I’ll be updating everything as usual on Snapchat, Instagram and on the here so you get to see what it’s all about.
