The premise is simple: Cut out junk for one totally doable week, and you’ll notice real results before your detox is done.
Skipping booze, sugar, and processed grains and eating only whole foods—think produce, unprocessed grains, lean protein, and healthy fats—for just seven days can trigger long-lasting changes. “A lot of times when we reach for a cookie or a drink, it’s out of habit. By shaking up your routine, you can reset and form better ones,” explains Brooke Alpert, RD, author of The Diet Detox. But it also offers serious perks in the short-term. Read on for five body benefits to expect by this time next week.
You’ll crush your workouts
In the absence of booze and sugar, your pancreas makes less insulin, the hormone that shuttles glucose into fat cells for storage. “When your insulin levels go down, you store less glucose as fat and burn it on the spot instead,” says Robert Lustig, MD, an endocrinologist at the UCSF Benioff Children’s Hospital in San Francisco. The result: You feel like the Energizer Bunny.
Your skin will plump up
A diet full of sweet treats messes with the repair of collagen, the protein that keeps your skin plump. That’s why when you nix sugar, you might notice a smoother, more supple complexion in only a week’s time. “If you’re hydrating enough and eating really nutritious foods, the effects could be even quicker,” says Alpert.
You will sleep deeper
A nightcap may help you unwind, but it disrupts your REM sleep, the restorative stage that first occurs later in the night. “When you cut out alcohol, you’ll often find that you not only sleep longer, but also better,” says Neha Vyas, MD, a family physician at the Cleveland Clinic.
Your tummy will be flatter
Passing on veggie chips, granola bars, and other packaged snacks can potentially bring down bloating instantly, because you’re dodging all the sodium hidden in those processed foods, says Alpert.
You may shed some weight
If you typically sip vino with dinner and dig into fro-yo for dessert, you might see the number on the scale drop. “To lose a pound in a week, you need to have 500 fewer calories a day,” says Dr. Vyas. Eliminating junk could do the trick.
Follow these simple food rules
Skip: Anything that’s processed or comes in a package, booze, and added sugar (the kind that’s in salad dressings, sauces, and candy).
Eat: Veggies, fruits, lean proteins (like fish and chicken), and small amounts of dairy and unprocessed grains (such as quinoa and barley, not bread).
Heat a small nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Cook turkey 2–3 minutes or until no longer pink, add corn and cumin, and cook 1 minute to heat through.
Step 2
Remove from heat, and stir in 1 tablespoon picante sauce and cilantro.
Step 3
Warm tortillas according to package directions and place on a dinner plate, overlapping slightly. Spoon turkey mixture over tortillas; top with lettuce, cheese, and remaining 1 tablespoon picante sauce. Serve with lime wedges.

Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Athol Trollip might survive the vote of no confidence in him on Thursday, but his days are numbered and he will not see the end of his political term in office, Economic Freedom Fighters commander-in-chief Julius Malema told a packed Nangoza Jebe Hall in New Brighton on Wednesday evening.
Malema said there were people who were upset with the EFF leadership for deciding to vote against the DA in the Metro.
“You must ask yourself why you voted for the EFF,” he said.
Malema said there were several issues in the EFF manifesto, including minimum wage, land expropriation without compensation, increasing social grants and banning labour brokers.
“All of these manifestos of the EFF, there is nowhere where we said we would vote for the ANC. There is nowhere where we said, vote for us and we will vote for the DA. We never said that. None of you voted for us in order for us to vote for the DA. None of you voted for us in order for us to vote for the ANC.
“So, while we do the tactic of moving tables and playing [musical] chairs in order to deliver these things we promised you, why are you becoming angry and irritated?” he said.
Trollip’s days are numbered
Malema said Trollip could continue leading and that he did not care, but he added that Trollip would do so without the mandate or support of the EFF.
“If he wins, there is no problem. There will not be a war. It is democracy in action.”
Malema said they would accept the outcome of the vote of no confidence, but said EFF supporters should not have nightmares about the alliance between the DA and the Patriotic Alliance.
“As long as we have pronounced that Trollip is going, he will go. There may be a marriage of convenience tomorrow with gangsters and all that, but Trollip will not finish his term as mayor of Nelson Mandela [Bay]”
“Once the EFF have pronounced on you, we don’t stop. Tomorrow we will attempt to remove Trollip. If we fail tomorrow, we will come back again and, if we fail, we will come back again until we collapse him and teach him a lesson. We are going for him. We have taken a decision and there is no retreat.
“How many motions did [former president Jacob] Zuma defeat? Where is Zuma today? Who is Trollip who survives on some 50/50 arrangement? Zuma had 60% plus, but when the EFF said come here, motion of no confidence, he left running,” he said.
“Trollip, tomorrow, the day after, it doesn’t matter. We have declared that you are going and it will not change.”
“He must pass budget, he doesn’t have our vote. Whatever he wants to do with the municipality, we are not with him. He is alone until they come before us and tell us how we are getting our land,” he said.
‘I don’t hate whites’
“I don’t hate white people, I just love black people. I’m already in a relationship with black people,” he said.
“We will fight white dominance, white supremacy, whiteness, wherever it raises its ugly head,” he said.
Malema said the party could stand up to whites because they had not taken any money from white people.
“They said we took the money of the farm owners to finance the EFF. Let me tell you, a new policy has been passed by Parliament where political parties must disclose their funders. The EFF will do the same thing. We have nothing to hide. We never took the money of a white man.
“We never took the money of a white man and that’s why we are the only party that stands up to the white man. No one in South Africa can do that except the EFF. All of them have taken the money of white people, and all of them are scared to change the property relations in South Africa because they are compromised by their business interests and their relationship with white monopoly capital. We are the only ones,” he said.

Embattled Nelson Mandela Bay Mayor Athol Trollip has just received another boost in his bid to survive a motion of no confidence in his leadership, as the African Independent Congress (AIC) has switched sides too.
AIC president Mandla Galo confirmed to News24 on Wednesday evening that the party has instructed its sole councillor in the metro to vote with the DA on the motion against Trollip.
The shift in vote now takes the likely outcome in the 120-seat council to 61-59 in favour of keeping Trollip, all things being equal.
Galo said the party currently has an agreement with the ANC, signed in April last year, to incorporate the Matatiele municipality into the KwaZulu-Natal province, rather than its current location in the Eastern Cape.
The party’s main mandate since being voted into the fifth Parliament in 2014, was to secure incorporation into KZN.
Since April however, his party has been increasingly frustrated with the slow progress in that regard.
“Recently we were highly perturbed by a statement of the Eastern Cape ANC that they would not allow the municipality of Matatiele to be incorporated into KZN,” he said.
He said the provincial ANC was going against a national agreement, labelling it “arrogance” to deny what he termed the “will of the people” in the region.
More ANC metros under threat
“Why is Luthuli House failing to give orders to the Eastern Cape?” he said.
“We are saying that we need to teach the ANC a lesson to say that if they don’t agree to our coalition agreement, then that is going to happen tomorrow. We have instructed our councillor to vote with the DA.”
They had initially considered abstaining, but determined it would have no impact.
Galo said they ultimately want the ANC to stick to their agreement and thus had further warnings for the ruling party down the line.
“Come end of May 2018, if the people of Matatiele are not incorporated into KwaZulu-Natal, as is their will, we are going to pull out of [the] Ekurhuleni and Rustenburg [metros].
“The ANC will lose there then. As AIC, there is nothing that we are going to lose.”
‘We all human beings, colour has no meaning’
As for the Economic Freedom Fighters’ reasoning for tabling the motion against Trollip, to punish the DA’s “white mayor”, he said the party could not subscribe to such blatant racial motivations.
“As African Independent Congress, we don’t identify people in terms of colour.
“We believe we are all human beings, and we are creations of the Almighty, which means colour has no meaning as far as we are concerned.”
They just wanted to get along with all races and for Parliament to improve its discourse on racism.
Something was wrong with the human race that it continues to see itself different from others based on race, he added.
Earlier on Wednesday, the Patriotic Alliance also signed a coalition deal with the DA on Tuesday evening to vote with the party. PA councillor Marlon Daniels will become deputy mayor, if successful.
The special council will sit from 08:00 on Thursday.
