Detox Cleanse: 7 Day Weight Loss Menu Plan

Knock out fat and toxins with this can-do menu.

Want a weight loss menu that delivers a one-two punch? Shed fat and flush toxins with this detox and cleanse 7-day weight loss menu plan.

Whether you’re still on your weight loss journey or you want to support weight loss with a detox menu, this plan will help you get started. Cleansing with an occasional detox helps flush the toxins that build up in our bodies over time—toxins that largely come from the processed foods that are typical in the average American’s diet.

Support a successful detox by drinking plenty of water. Hydration is crucial as you detox with this—or any other—detox weight loss menu. Water helps the body naturally flush toxins from the system, and it takes the edge off of hunger. Drink one full glass of water when you wake up (try this Morning Lemon & Mint Detox Water), and then again before each meal or snack.

After you complete this detox menu plan, continue to focus on preparing clean eating foods, which are those that haven’t been heavily processed. These are often the foods you’ll find around the perimeter of your grocery store: fruits and vegetables, whole grain breads, low-fat dairy, etc. Minimally processed or whole foods offer the nutrients that support weight loss—and none of the junk that weighs you down.

  1. The recipe at the very top is the one that I’m interested in — it looks yummy! — But what is it? And how do I access the recipe?

  2. I want to do the 7 day weight loss plan because the food looks so yummy. I will have to wait as I am going to a conference to spend time alone with my husband. No cooking for me! I am excited to start this when I get back. This is my favorite site. Wish I had the money to get the 99 recipes cookbook for a slow cooker. I had one when I was in my 20’s but you couldn’t find the recipes you can today and there was no internet.

  3. I love the menu I’m seeing. Everything looks so delicious and fun to prepare! However, when I hear “cleanse” or “detox” I think juices and smoothies. Is it still beneficial as far as losing weight if I substituted a meal with a juice every day (more than what this plan recommends)? If so, which meal would be best to swap out: breakfast, lunch, or dinner? Or could I substitute lunch with a juice one day and breakfast with a juice the next? Thank you in advance!

  4. It looks like several of the recipes make many servings, how can I adjust for one person? (Examples would be breakfast especially)

    Also, I am a vegetarian, are there alternative options available?

    1. Anna, When you’re making the recipes, just divide the ingredients so that make one serving. For example, with this recipe https://skinnyms.com/5-ingredient-baked-egg-mushrooms-recipe/,
      4 large portobello mushrooms, Use 1 mushroom
      4 large eggs Use 1 egg
      1 1/2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil Use 1 teaspoon oil
      1/2 teaspoon kosher or sea salt, divided Use the amount for you taste
      1/2 teaspoon black pepper, divided

    1. Lisa, Combine 1 tablespon ground flax or chia seeds with 3 tablespoons water. Let set for 15 minutes and use in place of an egg. It works!

  5. These menu plans look great! and the recipes seem quick and easy to follow, not to mention delicious! 🙂 Has anyone ever done the the Detox Cleanse Plan and then continued on with the 7 Day Slim Down Plan to reach their goal weight and do you know about on average how much weight a person can lose on either plan? Also, I’m highly allergic to fish, what could I use in-place of that on those days that call for Salmon or any other kind of fish for lunch or dinner?

  6. OMG this looks so great! Hubby and Iare both looking forward to kick start this amazing week ! ,

  7. The mushroom breakfast looks interesting. Would you be able to reheat these in the microwave without compromising the flavor?

    1. Hi Marissa, I would actually recommend reheating the Baked Egg Mushroom in the oven. Preheat to 350 and bake for about 10 to 15 minutes until hot. If you’re planning on making a few and reheating them, I would only partially cook the egg and finished cooking during reheating. Also, I would only keep the leftovers (or pre-made mushrooms) for about 2 days in the refrigerator. The nice thing about this recipe is it’s easy to make one at a time!

  8. Hi! My husband and I started the 7 day weight loss & detox plan today. I am just curious about portion sizes and if they are different for men and women?

    1. Candace, It depends on size and weight, but your husband may need to eat a little more than you. He will need to be the judge.
      Just keep in mind, portions should leave each person satisfied, not hungry.

  9. Hi, just wondering can you swap the different lunches/dinners, say day 1 can you have the same lunch again day 2 if desired? Or have the same food day 4 and 5 etc?
