Skinny Fox Detox

-Jillian Raposo

I wanted to start the new year off fresh and clean from the inside, out. I've tried juicing and hated it and I definitely wasn't up for a Colonic. So when I heard of "cleansing tea", I was definitely interested. As I was skimming through Instagram, I came across a bunch of different brands but the Skinny Fox detox tea seemed to get most of my attention. I thought it was so cute how they call the morning tea "Hello Gorgeous" and the night tea "Goodbye Cherry Pie" :)

Skinny Fox utilizes a TWO part plan, consisting of a morning and night tea:

-Morning Tea: 'Hello Gorgeous' - Taken when you wake up, this tea is very smooth with no bitterness. Blended to consist of the most powerful natural teas and herbs to give you metabolism boosting, increased energy and fight fat accumulation. Comes in a loose leaf form for guaranteed freshness.


-Evening Tea: 'Goodbye Cherry Pie' - Taken before you go to bed, every other night, this tea is very light and easy to drink. Blended with a natural and gentle laxative and herbs to prevent stomach cramping. This tea is meant to help you say 'Goodbye' to toxin accumulation! Made in tea bags that have been oxygen whitened, without the use of bleach or other chemicals.

Skinny Fox offers two different plans to choose from. The 14 day mini cleanse and the 28 day total body reboot. I chose to do the 28 day reboot simply because it was cheaper than buying two 14 day mini cleanses. So I figured I'd either do the full 28 days or two 14 day mini cleanses at different times. So far I've done about 20 days and I absolutely LOOOVE it! First off, I do want to say that Skinny Fox does not market this as a "weight loss" tea but more as a cleansing tea. It's sole purpose is to rid your body of toxins and help with lack of energy, reduce sugar cravings and boost your slow metabolism. This is the first time that I've ever used a product that actually does what it claims. It completely reduced my cravings for junk and makes me feel so clean and energetic. Before starting the cleanse I was a complete coffee addict and loved drinking wine at night. Now, I somehow don't even like the taste of coffee and wine anymore!!! I've lost 6 lbs of solid weight and I can't wait to continue. 

The #1 question people ask is, "Is it gross?". Not at all!! I've never been a tea drinker and this tea is so easy to drink. The morning tea is so light tasting and goes down so easy. The night tea does have more of a taste but definitely not a gross one. 

Along with just drinking the tea, there are some guidelines that you do need to follow in order to achieve optimal results. 

To avoid reintroducing toxins into the body, you need to eat clean during your detox! That means:

NO Dairy/No Yogurts
NO Sugar/NO Artificial Sweeteners
NO Processed Foods
NO Dark Meats
NO Fried foods
NO WHITE Pasta/Bread/Rice
NO Fruits High In Sugar
NO Alcohol

In addition to the rules above, please drink lots of water. The cleansing tea utilizes water to help flush your body, if you don't provide enough water, you will experience stomach cramping. Water is necessary to flush toxins so DRINK UP! And finally, if your desire is to boost weight loss effect, do not eat at least 4-5 hours before bedtime.

It is also recommended that you work out at least 30 minutes a day to help sweat out the toxins. I've been sticking to a clean diet, going to the gym 4-5 days a week and following the guidelines above and I wouldn't have it any other way. The results speak for themselves.

This cleanse is also a great way to discover foods that don't react well with your body. Throughout this cleanse your body feels so clean that you'll notice immediately, what you shouldn't be eating. There are certain things that I've introduced that I now know don't react well with my body. Cheese, milk, diet soda, wine, and gum. I've now realized that these things trigger bloating and discomfort and that I should avoid them. By cutting these things out of my diet I have continued to feel clean and energetic. This product has made such an impact on my diet and will continue to be a staple in my journey to a healthy lifestyle. 

(Skinny Fox recommends spacing the 14 day detoxes out with 6-8 weeks between & the 28 day detox 2-3 months apart)
