Detox for Dummies

Send to a friend
Clean Program

This celeb detox diet lets you eat real meals--and drop pounds, too.

Gwyneth Paltrow calls it her secret weight loss weapon. Donna Karan swears by it.

But unlike other detox diets, the Clean Program actually lets you--gasp!--eat solid food. Designed by New York cardiologist Dr. Alejandro Junger, the plan consists of two protein-rich shakes per day with one solid meal at lunch. And we mean solid: You're allowed most fruits and veggies, fish, chicken and nuts. And unlike juice fasts of the past, Paltrow claims she can work and exercise while on the Clean Program.

You can follow the plan using Junger's book Clean or buy a 21-day Clean Kit with shakes and supplements to quell hunger and encourage gut-friendly bacteria. The kit is so popular that it's on backorder until early August. But good things come to those who wait: You'll save $15 just for joining the wait list

Have your shake and eat lunch, too. Starvation is so 2008.
