My Holistic Detox Diet is rooted in the centuries-old Indian traditions of healthy eating, in it's ancient science and the wisdom of Ayurvedic medicine. I combine both Eastern and Western approaches to 'orthodox' medicine. To this rich mix I have also added a wide variety of healing philosophies and practices from all over the world. The search for my unique detoxing formula (and its subsequent maintenance programme) has been conducted over many years, and has taken me on numerous quests and journeys.

The Joshi Holistic Detox Programme helps you to lose weight and put that sparkle back in your eyes, giving you a renewed confidence that makes you feel younger and happier. This may sound like a tall order, but results have shown that my Holistic Detox really does deliver.

It does so by re-establishing your relationship with healthy foods, by learning the value of cleansing the body to rid it of toxins, and by alerting you to the warning signs which tell us when certain organs are not operating as they should..

By 'healthy foods' I mean foods that will return your body to its naturally alkaline state. My Holistic Detox is designed to alter the pH (acid/ alkaline) balance in our bodies, which will have a profound effect on our internal environment and therefore on the whole way our bodies work.

Without realising it most of us eat far too many acid forming foods. Eliminating these from our diet will take a lot of stress away from our digestive system and also change the way our palates work. This will allow us to process our food more efficiently and stop it being stored as fat in the body, as well as actually altering the type of food that we choose to eat.

On a detox programme the first thing many people worry about is craving those foods they are no longer allowed. However, my regime is designed to reprogramme the palate, and therefore train the mind to love those alkaline foods that are good for us and not crave those acidic naughties that are so harmful.

This is why we need to get the pendulum to swing in the opposite direction for a while. Because we tend to eat mostly acidic foods it is necessary to redress the balance and opt for a diet that is mostly alkaline. Not only will you hopefully no longer crave for bread or pizza or chocolate, but in time your digestive systems will actually dislike and reject them. This will re-establish normality and balance within our bodies so that our organs will function better and our blood will flow more freely.

I am confident that within three weeks of following my plan you will look better and feel better. Once you have taken the steps to improve your internal environment we have found that the pounds which in the past stubbornly refuse, start dropping off our client's with hardly any effort - and without any calorie counting. On completing my detox you will begin to have more energy, a clearer complexion, brighter eyes, stronger nails and glossy, shiny hair. In short a wonderful, radiant, overall glow. But you don't have to take my word for it. Your friends and work colleagues will start commenting on how fantastic you look, and if they don't then you must be cheating!
