Detoxing in September

I am thinking of cutting out the following;

Caffeine,
Alcohol,
All processed food,
Bread products,
Cereal and
Cheese.

This makes me :sad:

How about eat less and move more?

Food is not a toxin. Your body doesn't need you to detox it, it does that all on it's own.

Honestly, rather than a "detox" why not just focus more on taking time to relax and getting enough sleep?

Why don't you just cut out the alcohol and caffeine for a couple of weeks and prioritize getting a good night's sleep every night and some kind of exercise every day?

I know when I get run down, I get into this vicious cycle of drinking LOTS of caffeine to get me through the day, alcohol at night to chill me out, and don't get a good night's sleep because my system is confused by all the caffeine and alcohol! :sick:

So lay off those until your sleep gets regulated and you feel good and rested again, get back to logging your calories, and you don't have to give up all that other yummy stuff at all.

The trainers at my gym just recently all did a detox together, three days on protein shakes and vitamins.
They used raw protein brand, though healthy and nutritious, tastes like kitty litter.
To do detox right you should really consult a nutritionist or even a wellness minded doctor.

I'd avoid taking any advice from those trainers, especially about nutrition.

And no reputable doctor or dietician (both licensed, degreed professionals) will encourage anyone to "detox", because they know that the body does all the getting rid of toxins it needs... and if your kidneys & liver aren't functioning, no protein shake & vitamins will help.

A "nutritionist" is anyone who wants to call themselves that, so you'd probably have no problem finding someone with that label who will support any sort of "detox" you want to try.

detoxes/cleanses have zero proven benefits. You're basically just cutting out those foods for no real reason, and probably going to make yourself miserable. You may even find yourself binging shortly thereafter.
IMO, just eat at a moderate deficit, get some exercise. You'll probably feel alot better once you do that, probably within a couple days.

This.
If you really do have proven allergies to certain foods, of course you should avoid them.
But if you just want to decrease how much cheese you're eating (for example), do that instead of cutting it out of your diet entirely.

put all those yummy foods back in their place as things to be enjoyed in moderation or as the occasional treat

Yep.

I am looking for quick food ideas that will fit in with what I have said

cutting out the following
Caffeine,
Alcohol,
All processed food,
Bread products,
Cereal and
Cheese

Stir fry can be very quick, if you take some time one day to prep everything (chop it up) so you can just throw it in the pan when you need it. Do enough for several meals. Even cook the rice ahead, so you can have brown rice. Keep it tightly covered in the fridge, either nuke a serving or just put it in the bowl underneath your veggies & as you stir it in it'll warm up.

Do wraps using lettuce leaves instead of tortillas.

Soup. This, too can be made ahead, simmered all day in the crockpot.

Use some of your precooked brown rice to serve with steamed broccoli & nuked fish.

Does hummus count as a processed food? What about if you make it yourself? Dip veggies for a healthy snack or dinner.

Smoothie made of nonfat Greek yogurt, fruit (frozen or fresh), maybe some nuts, honey or stevia, cinnamon &/or cocoa.

Good luck with that.

You're basically just cutting out those foods for no real reason, and probably going to make yourself miserable.

If you have a real question about one or more of the categories on the list why not specify that?

If you are an alcoholic for example avoiding alcohol is probably a good idea. Absent specific reasons however, your list seems random and lacks context.
