Complete Guide on 5 Day detox diet plan

The 5-day detox diet plan is a fast diet with highly detoxifying power. It is enough to detoxify you and lose your extra fat significantly. If followed constantly, it helps to lose 2-3 kg in just five days.

5 day detox diet plan for weight loss

Health.gd has developed a 5 day detox diet plan that provides your body with all the nutrients it needs with super simple, delicious recipes and foods as unprocessed as possible.  

Since counting calories is almost a relic of the 90s, it has even been scientifically proven that one-sided diets are useless in the long term.

We have dispensed with calorie information and created a balanced plan suitable for everyday use.

How 5 day detox plan works:

• There are three main meals and three snacks per day. If you don’t have an appetite in between, you can also skip the snacks.
• Leave at least two hours between meals and snacks.
• Please refrain from alcohol this week.
• Walk at least 45 minutes every day – this can be the walk to work and a unit on the stepper or a yoga class.
• Sleep at least 7 hours every night.
• Drink 2 liters every day, preferably water or unsweetened herbal tea.
• Avoid refined (white) sugar.

5 Day Detox Plan Routine Chart

5 day Detox diet Plan: Day 1

In the morning

Green scrambled eggs

Whisk three eggs with a bit of milk (or almond milk) and scrambled eggs in a pan with half a teaspoon of coconut oil.

Wash a handful of rockets and arrange them on a small plate with cherry tomatoes. 

Dress both in a little olive oil or balsamic vinegar cream. Serve with scrambled eggs, lightly salt, and pepper.

Snack 1

Eighth, an apple and spread the apple slices with almond butter.

Noon

Vegetable sticks with beetroot hummus

Wash one large carrot, one stick of celery, ½ red pepper, and ¼ cucumber, cut into bars and arrange on a large plate with a handful of green beans.

For the dip, either buy ready-made beetroot hummus or add one bulb of cooked beetroot to a blender with one can of chickpeas, 1 tbsp tahini, fresh lemon juice, 1 tsp olive oil, salt, and pepper, and whip until creamy hummus. Serve with whole-grain crackers.

Snack 2

Eat One hundred fifty grams of low-fat quark with a handful of berries.

At evening

baked sweet potato

Wash a large organic oven-baked sweet potato and wrap in aluminum foil until dripping—Bake in the oven at 170 degrees for 55 minutes.

Then place the potatoes on a plate and tear open the aluminum foil. Cut the potato lengthwise and sprinkle a dollop of herb quark over it. Garnish with sprouts and cucumber and lightly salt and pepper.

Snack 3

One rib of dark chocolate (at least 60% cocoa).

Important Tips

Neither fish nor meat was on the menu today. However, you have still consumed enough protein by eating certain foods together: By cleverly combining certain foods, you can increase their “biological value.” 

For example, the body can convert more vegetable protein from the potato with quark into endogenous protein than if you eat the potato without quark.

Vegans, in particular, should know the combination rules of biological value to consume enough protein.

5 day Detox diet Plan: Day 2

In the morning

Avocado-Brot

Toast a slice of wholemeal spelled or rye bread and spread with half a ripe avocado. If the avocado is not spreadable, mash it with a fork.

Cut the bread diagonally and top with slices of boiled egg. Lightly salt and pepper and sprinkle with chili flakes.

Snack 1

Drizzle ½ papaya with lime juice.

Noon

Salmon on Apple Salad

Wash 150 grams of salmon, lightly salt, and sprinkle with lemon juice—Cook in a covered pan over medium heat for 10 minutes.

In the meantime, arrange a colorful salad (e.g., endive, lamb’s lettuce, radicchio) and peel half an apple, cut into small pieces, and mix in.

Dress the salad with one tablespoon of olive oil and a few dashes of apple cider vinegar, salt, and pepper. Pepper the salmon and arrange on the salad – finally sprinkle with pumpkin seeds.

Snack 2

Seven walnuts

At evening

Zoodles with tofu

Wash two medium zucchini and cut off the ends. Twist through the spiralizer and sauté the “noodles” in the pan with a bit of olive oil, lime juice, and salt until warm but not done—dice 100 grams of smoked tofu and mix into the noodles.

Cut a few coriander leaves into small pieces, blend them in, and pepper everything.

Snack 3

150 grams of natural yogurt with honey

Important Tips:

If you love pasta, you should get a spiral cutter and replace your pasta with the lighter vegetable version from time to time.

You can cut noodles from more vegetables than you think: sweet potatoes, kohlrabi, carrots, potatoes, and even apples can be made into noodles – but the latter is more suitable for a fruit salad.

5 day Detox diet Plan: Day 3

In the morning

Spinach-Almond-Smoothie

Mix ½ banana, ½ apple, 150 grams baby spinach, ten almonds, one teaspoon coconut oil, and 300 milliliters almond milk in a blender to form a creamy smoothie.

Pour into a jar and take it to the office, or pour into a large glass and enjoy it straight away.

Snack 1

Two kiwis to spoon out

Noon

Buddha bowl with sweet potato

Boil 100 grams of quinoa with twice the amount of water, the juice of ½ a lemon, one teaspoon of tamari sauce, and a little salt, and simmer until the water has boiled away. Peel ½ sweet potato and cut into small cubes, fry with 1 tsp coconut oil and salt and pepper until soft—clean and cut ½ stick of celery,

clean and slice two radishes.

Fill a bowl with the cooked quinoa and arrange all the other ingredients on top. Drizzle with oil (e.g., avocado oil) and fresh lemon juice and pepper generously. Garnish with fresh coriander (or parsley).

Snack 2

One hard-boiled egg

At evening

Chicken Salad Wraps

Fry 130 grams of organic chicken and then cut into slices. Wash 3-5 leaves of romaine lettuce, peel ¼ of the cucumber, and cut into sticks.

You can dress the salad in a bit of oil and balsamic vinegar cream if you can’t do without sauce.

Snack 3

1 Orange

Important Point:

A bowl of quinoa is ideal after a workout: it is gluten-free and contains all the essential amino acids, i.e., all the amino acids that the body cannot produce itself but needs to build muscle, for example.

With 14 grams of protein per 100 grams, quinoa is considered the top source of protein.

5 day Detox diet Plan: Day 4

In the morning

Mango-Chia-Fluff

Peel ½ the mango and put the flesh in the blender with two tablespoons of coconut milk, the juice of one lime, and 250 grams of soy yogurt and whip to a fluffy mango cream.

Pour into a small bowl, stir in 1 tablespoon of chia seeds and let the cream swell for 15 minutes. Sprinkle with the seeds of passion fruit, cacao nibs (available in health food stores), and goji berries.

Tip: Without the chia seeds, you can also fill the fluff in a screw-top jar and sip it as a smoothie.

Snack 1

Baby carrots with 3 tbsp. hummus (now available in the fridge of every supermarket)

Add ½ tsp vegetable stock to the hot water and cook the carrots until soft. Before they are soft, peel ½ apple and add to the pot.

Pour in the juice of fresh oranges and use a hand blender to blend everything into a creamy soup.

Season with salt and pepper and serve with wholemeal crackers or two slices of wholemeal rye or spelled bread.

Snack 3

Three dried figs, four walnuts

Important Tips: 

Never leave the house without healthy snacks, which leads to unhealthy wrong decisions such as a croissant or a chocolate bar when you have cravings.

It doesn’t matter whether you’re going shopping, traveling, or have a long day in the office ahead of you: always pack an apple and a few nuts in your handbag or your suitcase so the chocolate doesn’t stand a chance.

5 day Detox diet Plan: Day 5

Foot-Porridge

Snack 2

One rib of dark chocolate (at least 60 percent cocoa) with goji berries

At evening

Avocado slices with smoked salmon

Toast two slices of wholemeal rye or spelled bread. Halve and quarter avocado, remove the quarters whole from the skin and cut in a fan shape.

Fan out an avocado fan on each slice of bread and top with a piece of organic smoked salmon. Wash a handful of baby spinach and arrange it on a large plate as an accompaniment to the slices—season with coarse sea salt, pepper, and balsamic crema.

Snack 3

Apple chips

Important Tips:

Triggering pomegranate seeds is an annoying affair. The easiest way is in a bowl of water. To do this, cut off the pomegranate’s top and bottom, cut the peel lengthways, and peel off.

Then cut the pomegranate in half, put it in the water and carefully remove the seeds. In this way, the membranes are not injured, the nuclei sink to the bottom, and the white caps float on top. 

Who is not suitable for the Detox diet?

• Women who are pregnant or breastfeeding;
• Senior citizens; 
• who have high blood pressure;
•  underweight; 
• if your doctor has expressed opposition.

Conclusion:

The plan considers all nutrient groups (proteins, carbohydrates, and fats) and provides you with essential minerals, vitamins, enzymes, and trace elements.

Let yourself be inspired by the recipes and design them according to your taste: vegetarians replace fish and meat with cheese or eggs, and vegans integrate more tofu and legumes.

You can also replace fruit and vegetables with other types if you like.
