You shouldn’t be exerting too much energy on your detox days.
Your body can only filter eight glasses of water in a day. You can overload on water and tax your kidneys causing you to feel somewhat sluggish and somewhat lethargic.
Cleanse no more than two days in a row.
Your brain needs more protein to function properly. You aren’t getting enough on the diet you have suggested.
