When I need to detoxify because of too much alcohol and fatty food, I usually go on a fruit diet for like, three or four days in a row. It's actually very simple. You just open a small can of fruit cocktail and throw in bits and slices of banana, apple and grapes and you're done. Down it with pineapple or mango juice and that's it. Or you could eat whole bananas, apples and oranges. The benefits are tremendous. Your pimples and blemishes disappear and your skin gets clearer. Honest.
Unfortunately, more often than not I can only go as far the 2nd Day. The problem with fruit or vegetable diets is that they digest easily, so you feel light the whole day and you're always hungry.

The first day is always manageable. You even congratulate yourself for being so health-conscious that you start pitching about the benefits of healthy lifestyles to your friends.
On the 2nd day, however, your stomach starts complaining and you keep telling yourself that you will treat yourself later to a...banana, although you find yourself unable to take another bite.
It gets awful on the third day, you start hallucinating, like seeing a giant fried chicken in the sky and you start day-dreaming about sinigang and binagoongang baboy (anchovied pork).
The last day is horrible, you know you're nearing the finish line but you just can't take another banana without throwing up. You keep thinking about Jollibee and McDo.
And then you compensate for your self-imposed deprivation the past 4 days by making a mad dash for the nearest McDo and overindulging on Day 5, which isn't a very good thing.
John has his own version, vegetable and egg whites only. I think it works for him.
