Fibre and probiotics for acne-free skin

It’s been nearly a month since I’ve completed my detox and I thought I’ll update on the state of my skin now. Well, my skin condition has improved, thanks to a dietary change as well.

Would you detox to lose weight & feel good?

I’ve finally completed my 14-day detox program on Sunday and am ready to share more updates in terms of what I’ve lost or gained. Strictly speaking, I wasn’t following any of the detox diets like juicing or water fast. In fact, I started out thinking that I could just rely on the Kordel’s Detox-Cleanze and maintained my diet. However, as I progressed, I made gradual changes and by the end of the first week, I lost 2kg and my tummy was looking really flat.
