Whether it’s a whole body rehaul or just losing those pesky pounds you gained from your holiday festivities, a detox will help clear out last year's toxins and make way for a healthier you. Though change may be hard to make and keep long term, you’re much more likely to succeed if you go for big change right away. From supplements to special drinks, here are some tips and tricks for detoxing in the New Year.

World Class
Shocker, we know—you might need to look outside the US for health tips. In Mireille Guiliano's French Women Don't Get Fat (1) ($12.95) she prescribes the Magical Leek Soup recipe, a weekend way to cleanse using two pounds of leeks, a natural diuretic—and a little bit of willpower. Cook them up like a soup and drink the juice throughout the weekend, eating only the actual leeks when hungry. Naomi Moriyama invites us into her mother's kitchen for a diet full of fish, soy, rice, vegetables, and fruit in her book Japanese Women Don't Get Old or Fat ($12).

First Step
There's something serious behind Slimquick's cutesy commercials. Their Cleanse supplements (2) ($19.99 for 56 caplets) will help you jump start any path to weight loss with the gentle 7-day detox program. Slimquick uses natural extracts like green tea, ginseng, chaste tree berry, antioxidants, and probiotics to flush out toxins, improve digestion, cleanse your colon, and balance your blood sugar, all the while increasing metabolism and energy. Get them at drugstores or from the official website.

Tea Time
Kombucha tea has always been a go-to for the lushes among us as the morning after's hangover helper, but it'll provide balance to your mind and body long term as well. Available at most drugstores and groceries, GT's Organic Raw Kombucha (3) drinks help give you more energy, assist in weight loss, and aid in digestion. You should keep your liquid detox diet rich in herbal and green varieties like Yogi Tea's caffeine-free Detox and Green Tea Active Body (4) ($4.39 each) to flush out toxins and beat fatigue.

Five-A-Day
Filling your daily requirement for fruits and veggies can be a lot to fit into a busy schedule, but many detoxes call for pure juice fasts. Make it easy, delicious, and custom blended to your taste buds with a Jack LaLanne Power Juicer (5) ($100-150). With a pound of fruit in every drink, Naked juices are the best bottled variety that you can pick up at most markets and corner stores. The only additives found in these juices are extra vitamins and healthy wholesome goodies like fiber.

When Life Gives You…
It may sound too easy to be true, but one of the best ways to detox—and an essential part of any program—is to drink ample water and stay hydrated. Lemon water not only tastes better but it helps further your body in the purification process. It'll be a cinch, and super cute, to make sure you get your eight glasses of water a day toting around the reusable and recyclable SIGG Paparazzi water bottle (6) ($21.99) and a handful of True Lemon packets (6) ($12.49 for 150).
