Welcome to the detox heavyweight championship of the world – in the yellow corner, weighing in at 76 kilos, we have the Accidental Health Nut…
The weight loss aspect is an important part of the detox for most people, myself included.
If you hope to lose weight on the detox, you want to know how effective it is at shifting the pounds. If you don’t need to lose weight, you want to know that you aren’t going to waste away on the program.
So in the name of scientific research, I weighed myself everyday during the program – and then for another 10 days after I got back from Vipassana meditation, to check out what had happened to any weight that was lost or gained.
Thanks to my trusty Wii Fit, this was very easy – and it also measured my Body Mass Index (BMI), which takes into account your height and weight to places you in one of 5 categories form severely underweight to obese.
The results are below – as I said in the first day’s post, I was a few kilos over my fighting weight when I started, so it’s interesting to see the results…
Day 1 – 81.5 KG | 25.70 BMI overweight
Day 2 – 80.3 KG |25.34 BMI ideal
Day 3 – 77.5 KG | 24.26 BMI ideal
Day 4 – 77.4 KG | 24.43 BMI ideal
Day 5 – 78.4 KG | 24.74 BMI ideal
Day 6 – 77.1 KG | 24.33 BMI ideal
Day 7 – 76.6 KG | 24.18 BMI ideal
Day 8 – 77.2 KG | 24.36 BMI ideal
Day 9 – 77.6KG | 24.49 BMI ideal
Day 10 – 76.2 KG | 24.05 BMI ideal
So after the 10 day program, I’d lost 5.3 KG – which is a quite a bit for me – but then again my ‘ideal weight’ should definitely be closer to 76KG than 82KG…
Day 21 – 77.4 KG | 24.43 BMI ideal
Day 22 – 76.6 KG |24.18 BMI ideal
Day 23 – 75.2 KG | 23.73 BMI ideal
Day 24 – 75.9 KG | 23.96 BMI ideal
Day 25 – 76 KG | 23.99 BMI ideal
So 2 weeks after the detox I was still roughly the same weight.
Great, I shifted some weight, in particular some fat, and it stayed off.
It’s worth noting that:
1/ For 10 days after the detox I sat the Vipassana Meditation course (so I couldn’t weight in), where I was eating healthily twice per day and not exercising at all.
2/ For the 5 days after that – Days 21 – 25 – I was back home, eating normally and doing 90 mins of Bikram Yoga each day, which is around the same amount of exercise I do most days with yoga and running combined.
And that’s that for this lemon detox experience.
Now I’m onto part 3 of ‘The 30 Day Detox Program’ – 10 days of Bikram Yoga.

And BTW – I feel superb after 10 days lemon detox followed by 10 days Vipassana meditation!
