DAY 1On the very first day of your detox diet, be prepared to constraint yourselves to only consuming liquids. It might seem quite impossible but you will feel motivated by the positive results. In the early morning hours, feel free to indulge in green tea or lemon and honey infusions. They will help you in keeping your energy levels up. As the day progresses, you can switch to buttermilk, carrot and beetroot juice, a glass of Nimbu Paani, fresh coconut water and a big bowl of clear soup for dinner. Steer clear of sugar.
   
 Dinner -  Chicken Quinoa Biryani
 
        
DAY 3The third day is going to be all about oats. Oats are amongst the healthiest grains on earth. They’re a gluten-free whole grain and a great source of important vitamins, minerals, fiber and antioxidants. Studies show that oats and oatmeal have many health benefits. These include weight loss, lower ing blood sugar levels and a reduced risk of heart disease.Here’s what you can cook with oats:Breakfast - Oats Kheer

DAY 4Day four will put you on an amaranth diet and the amazing thing about amaranth is how it compares nutritionally to other grains.

Dieters are gobbling down protein bars in hopes of quick weight loss. But we’ll tell you too look for natural sources of protein and that’s very easy to do.Here are some protein-rich recipes for you:Breakfast: Egg Chaat or Mixed Sprouts Corn Chaat
