This cleanse can be done anywhere from 3-12 days but vigorous cardio exercise should be limited due to low caloric intake. Also make sure you are drinking at least one gallon of water each day. Sipping on Dandelion Root Tea throughout the day to help give you the extra energy you need. The cleanse will help detox your body and eliminate excess water weight your body was hanging onto.
