American actress Gwyneth Paltrow has in her online GOOP.com newsletter revealed about the “amazing” three-week-long detox program she was on to help her lose weight.

Paltrow, 36, had turned to Dr. Alejandro Junger, a leading cardiologist and detoxification expert, in a bid to lose the extra weight she had gained during a “relax and enjoy life phase” of her life.

“I am finishing the amazing three-week-long ‘Clean’ detox program,” the New York Daily News quoted her as having written.

“I feel pure and happy and much lighter… I dropped the extra pounds that I had gained during a majorly (sic) fun and delicious ‘relax and enjoy life phase’ about a month ago,” she said.

Junger’s tips include avoiding processed foods and allergens, eating processed foods and making “time for ‘detox-enhancing’ habits such as sauna, massage, hot and cold baths and skin brushing.”

“All of these improve circulation and increase perspiration, which help fuel your body’s natural cleansing system,” Junger has written.

Paltrow is full of approval, and says that the best part of the program is her renewed sense of energy.

“This program allowed me to work and exercise regularly, something I cannot do if I am on a liquid-only detox,” she says.

“I followed it to the letter and I can report that it worked wonders,” she adds.
