What is a good diet to detox your body?

BumperBuffer is correct, there really is no such thing as "detoxing" your body. Because you can never completely regenerate your body like that (with the stuff that is in our food and the chemicals in the air--it is beyond impossible.) Plus when you drown yourself in herbs and diet shakes, you are only filling your body with more stuff. The key is natural stuff (the kind of natural that doesn't cost $59.95 per month)--I'm talking about 'al natural' water, food, and pure fun. However, I do understand what you mean---it is good to "clean out" your system and renew your body. Who doesn't want something like that?
What helps when doing such a thing is focusing on the basic principles of your body: physical, emotional/mental, and social. Really, all you need is a weekend of just "you" time, then it naturally becomes part of your lifestyle. Drink water, eat fresh fruits and vegetables--then eat a piece of chocolate cake (it can be large too--as long as you only have one slice ;)), exercise, go shopping, have a girls' night with your friends.the key to a boosted metabolism is as much physical as it is mental. Chemicals probably effect it--but stress is a key factor to lowered metabolism/energy and weakened immune system.
My point is you should watch you eat--but you don't have to count every calorie. You can eat that piece of apple pie or peach cobbler. You can experiment with exercises and workouts that make you feel like a million bucks afterward. You should drink water (64 ounces everyday)--but if you DO.you can have that glass of wine on Sunday. Talk to friends, read a book--WRITE a book, you know?
Detoxing has nothing to do with herbal teas, diet pills, or cutting every ounce of unhealthly thing in your life. Balance: feel good about yourself. The best part is, when you are exercising.and you like what you are doing, you are confident, you love who you are and your stress level is at the bare minimum---check that metabolism rate, see how long you can go without nap, and count how many colds you get a year.
Good luck.
