Hey everyone, this is my first MFP post! I've been loving the app but I decided to get more involved here for inspiration. :)

On Monday I'm starting my very first "detox diet." Ugh, I hate those two words... I don't think of it as a diet, I see it as more of a chance to kickstart my body into enjoying and craving fresh fruit and veg again. :) I'm going to try the Fruit Flush because it's 3 days, which I think I can stick to, and it's FRUIT, which I love. Mangoes and kiwis and pineapple, anyone? Mmmm. You can read about the cleanse here: http://www.webmd.com/diet/features/the-fruit-flush-diet
I'm not actually buying the book, just following the general guidelines.

Has anyone tried this? How about another similar 3 day or fruit cleanse? Do you have any tips or advice for a first-timer?

    Here's a snippet from the article:

    Experts say there is no need to "detox" or flush out waste, because the liver, kidneys, and colon are designed to handle that task.

    Further, there is no medical evidence that fruits have ingredients capable of dissolving so-called toxins, Zied says.

    "Instead of worrying about toxins, eat healthy foods that will help your body naturally protect against disease and provide nourishment for energy,"
