Detox Breaks & Retreats
The F12 Detox Break is a three-stage 12-day metabolic detoxification programme with a 5-day stay at La Manga Resort. The programme is especially designed to limit the incoming burden of new toxins and enhance the elimination of stored toxins; reducing total body toxicity and helping you feel cleansed and re-energised.
Giving the body a chance to throw off stored toxins can benefit the entire system by improving skin and hair condition, digestion, immune function, mental function and clarity of thought, quality of sleep, liver and kidney function, energy levels and a change in attitude to eating and food.
Fitness 12’s Nutritional Therapist Pavlina, consults with each and every one attending the F12 Detox Break to ensure a safe and effective detoxification journey. We also encourage the use of specific high quality supplements to help this process. Our carefully selected supplements contain high levels of vitamins, minerals and other bioactive food components assisting the effective processing and disposal of waste materials.
First stage
The first stage of the programme starts 3 days before your arrival to the retreat and is especially designed to cleanse your diet and prepare you for the second stage. You will be given clear guidelines and menu suggestions for these 3 days. This stage has been put in place to ease you into the detox and help you towards reducing detoxification symptoms.
Second stage
The second stage is the Toxin Removal Phase of the programme and takes place during the 5 days at the retreat. The goal is to safely yet effectively encourage the elimination of stored toxins while supporting the digestive system. During this stage, we will gradually take out specific foods, leading to a semi-fasting during the middle of your stay at the retreat. Further elimination takes place during the second day as we approach day three, which is a cleansing fast of fresh fruit and vegetables and fruit and vegetable juices only supported by specialised supplements to ensure optimum toxin removal.
Third stage
The third stage consists of the slow re-introduction of foods over a period of 4 days after the retreat. This is important for allowing your system to readjust. The aim is to continue with a cleansing diet but at the same time start adding variety and expanding your diet further.
Following the completion of your F12 Detox Plan, you will receive advice and guidance and be presented with a detoxification friendly 12 week - maintenance plan based on a whole food diet, to help you towards building better eating habits and future-proofing your health.
