I TRIED THE AUDREY HEPBURN'S DETOX DIET

By JuicyOxo - gennaio 09, 2018

One of my favorite actress, as well as philanthropist of all the time is certainly Audrey Hepburn. I personally love her for a lots of reasons, first of all for her way of thinking, her active philanthropic life and i think that she's such a good example for a lots of young people. She's also one of the most famous fashion icon of all the time, well known for her chic and elegant style as well as her slim figure.

While I was searching for informations about her healthy lifestyle I came across some articles that said she usually had a Detox day at least once a month, so I decided to test her detox program and what better moment to do it that after the Christmas holidays?!.

The Detox Program:

Drink at least a gallon of water
Eat plain yogurt
Eat at least an apple for each meal

DISCLAIMER: I personally think that it is so bad only eating this much in a day, even for a detox diet plan, so I do not recommend anyone to try it.

Preparations

The day before the testing day I went grocery shopping to find some non dairy plain yogurt ( since I'm vegan and I can't eat the normal yogurt) but I couldn't find it anywhere, even if I went to 4 different markets.

At this point I decided to opt for the vegan yogurt flavor that was more similar to the plain one, so I choose the vanilla flavor and, after filling the cart with sooooo many apples, I came back home and I prepared myself for the great challenge that was waiting for me the next day ( with a giant pizza, vegan of course :D).

The DETOX DIET DAY

THE MORNING

I woke up at 7 a.m. as usual for my workout routine and I drank my first glass of water filled with lemon juice. The online articles don't say anything about other types of beverages so I didn't know if the tea was allowed in it but I decided to prepare some green tea to give my body some energy for the intense workout.

After my workout I rehydrated myself after the long and intense workout with two other glasses of water I had the first yogurt of the day with the apple, even though I wasn't hungry yet.

At dinner I had my second yogurt with apple with two other glasses of water. At this point I drank more water than I ever drank in my life and since I wasn't used to it I immediately noticed how often I had to go pee, so it was a really good sign of the Detox plan working.

THE (TRAGIC) AFTERNOON

In the afternoon I started to feel so so hungry and it was so annoying to only eat an apple with the yogurt and i started to crave some fresh raw vegetables if it meant to avoid them for the next meal, but I had to go on with the test and eat the third and fourth apples with the vegan yogurt and I drank so so so much water in order to cover my stomach's complaints. So my afternoon was pretty tragic since I'm used to such a large amount of meals per day, especially in this moment of the day.

THE EVENING

It finally came the evening and everything I could think about is the end of the day slowly approaching. At this point I was at 1,200 liter of water and I strangely could feel not only more energized and productive (it probably was not only the large amount of water I drank but also the urge to not think of the hunger and to distract myself from it) but also so much less bloated and my stomach is so flat. I had my last two apples with my large bowl of vegan yogurt and I was ready to sleep and have my food reward the next day.

The results and my opinion

As I said before my stomach is definitely much less bloated and I also noticed I had more energy during the day to do so much stuff, but I can't guarantee it is because of the detox diet, just because I also had my daily detox tea that I'm testing out yet. I couldn't recommend this detox plan to anyone just because it is so restrictive and I know there are many others detox diets less drastic and equally effectives. Not nourishing your body enough and with the right nutrients is not good for it or for you in general. It also can bring you to starve everything and eat junk food at the end of the detox day instead of starting a good, healthy and right lifestyle.
