Fighting the Thanksgiving trifecta -- calories, carbs, and fats -- may not be in the cards for you this year on Thanksgiving Day. But after all the damage has been done, you will want to repair it and be able to go back to breathing without bursting buttons.
If you're ready to reset the taste buds, slim down, and recalibrate your metabolism after overindulging, there are various "detox" plans to get your body back on track. Jacqueline Gomes, registered dietician, nutritionist, and owner of CKO Kickboxing Lyndhurst, N.J., says, "Call it whatever you like -- detox, cleanse, eating clean -- they all more or less mean the same thing: a way to rid the body of 'toxins,' lose weight, and return the body to a harmonious state."
However, not all detoxes are created equal. There are extreme cleanses, some of which verge on being dangerous and debilitating. No one should try to subsist on spicy lemonade for a few days or juice for so long you almost forget how to chew, even if those programs initially make your extra inches vanish.
But there are also healthy, sound detoxes that allow you to get the nutrients and calories you need, while still clearing out the toxins. We spoke to nutritionists to help sort out which cleanses are best after that Thanksgiving binge, whether it’s the Raw Diet, going vegetarian or a juice cleanse.
