NOSH 6-DAY ABC PROGRAMME, £257.82
Tester: Jackie Blame
Being relatively sceptical about extreme diets and detoxes, I decided to bite my lip (not literally) and take a New Year challenge. Nosh were incredibly helpful right from the start, I signed up online and shortly afterwards received a welcome email outlining what lay ahead. Each evening, a delivery arrived complete with print-out menu for the day ahead (very helpful as if it's in writing, I must stick to it). And so for the next 6 days I feasted (ok maybe a slight exaggeration but I definitely didn't go hungry) on an oaty breakfast smoothie, a supervitamin smoothie as mid-morning snack, an assortment of freshly made vegetable soups for lunch, an afternoon smoothie and my final meal of the day was a well-balanced protein-loaded supper. I must admit I do feel I have kick-started the New Year feeling alkalised, balanced and cleansed.

SOULMATE FOOD, THREE-DAY EASY CLEANSE, £150
Tester: Fiona McCoss
Having never done any form of detox/cleanse before, I awoke on Monday excited and ready to take on 3 days of consuming nothing but juice. Six juices a day for three days? Pah, no problem. Walking past Starbucks on the way to work I smiled smugly at those poor souls queuing for their morning caffeine fix. Coffee? I don't need coffee. My body is temple. However when it came to lunch time and smells of food filled the office, I realised the full of extent of what I had taken on. Whilst everyone else ate their Prêt baguettes or homemade soups, I sat sipping juice number 3 (Pineapple, Banana & Coconut), trying to cover up my tummy rumbles by talking just a tad too loudly... By the end of day one I had a dull headache and, being perfectly honest, felt pretty darn miserable. I even found myself staring at a lady eating an iced bun on the tube like a total crazy person (not my finest moment). After my “dinner” juice of apple, beetroot and blackcurrant, I was surprised to find myself slipping into one of the best sleeps I'd had in weeks, waking up to feel refreshed and energised. For the following 2 days I felt like a new person – a notable spring in my step, an attention span longer than 30 seconds, and bags of energy. The Soulmate team were incredibly supportive, tweeting me throughout my cleanse to make sure I stayed away from the biccies. But (and this is amazing for me) I wasn't even tempted. I highly recommend the Soulmate Cleanse. Not only are the juices delicious and full of goodness (I think the Carrot, Orange, Ginger & Superfoods was my fave) in three days I felt less bloated and sluggish, and instead felt inspired to continue on with a healthier lifestyle.

DETOX DELIVERED, 3-DAY JUICE DETOX, £189

Tester: Rosie Axford

After, what can only be described as an unnecessarily heavy festive season, I was more than ready to give my body a break and a detox was well and truly needed. On Detox Delivered's Three-Day Detox, five juices (and an “emergency juice”) arrive with a smorgasbord of supplements to keep you full and internally “moving”. I found it easy to steal myself away from foodie thoughts and wine-fuelled dreams, and didn't ever really feel hungry. Whether it was psychosomatic or a genuine change, putting nothing but goodness into my body made feel better and I began to spring out of bed rather than roll. That said, I usually eat very well (but wash it down with gallons of wine), so I sort of expected to have a washboard tummy after day two. That didn't happen. But I do think Detox Delivered is the perfect way to cleanse your system before or after significant binges. Or even if you're feeling a bit bunged up.

RADIANCE CLEANSE, £215
Tester: Frankie Rozwadowska
I'll get straight to the point, the Radiance juice cleanse is not for the faint-hearted. When my delivery of juices arrived on day one, I knew the next three days were to be an experience. Based on the principle that every so often we need to flush out our bodies and reset our internal digestive clocks, the Radiance cleanse involves guzzling five bottles of juice per day, while popping an assortment of supplements which include bentonite clay, psyllium husk and milk thistle. Day one resulted in a fair amount of bloating which, according to the helpful welcome pack, was to be expected and I must admit I was seriously impressed by the information supplied by Radiance, along with the phone number to call just in case. Day two was quite intense, all I could think about was the flavours I was missing but I'm glad I stuck it out for the third day as I genuinely think the organic ingredients and detox-boosting tablets did the trick.

MY DETOX DIET, 4-DAY SOUP AND JUICE FAST, £106
Tester: Sophie Jones
The one thing that really surprised me about MY Detox Diet's fast was that I was not hungry, which definitely helped my dedication levels. Booking the detox is easy and is complemented with a session in the Iyashi Dome. In organic carbon-lined machine that heats your body with infra red rays to generate enough perspiration to simulate a 20kmrun. Without the running. Thank God. This has a huge effect on the body's detox mechanisms, helping to cleanse pent-up nasties. All of the juices are delivered to your home or office on day one, with instructions and supplements aplenty. There's juice for breakfast, elevenses and afternoon tea, and soup for lunch and dinner. You can eat celery sticks if you're peckish and as much herbal tea as you can swallow. At the end, I was craving solids but that's to be expected, and I felt, well, cleaner.

NOSH DETOX, BODY SMOOTH & TONE, £119.16

Tester: Jessica Scott

I suffer from a hormone imbalance which is what is so marvellous about Nosh Detox. During my hour consultation we really examined exactly what I struggle with food wise, I explained that despite having a very balanced healthy diet I tend to gain weight rapidly. The Nosh team exacted my eating plan according to different foods that enable the metabolism, invigorate and provide energy for longer. The food was delicious and varied- I particularly loved the smoothies. In three days I lost over 2lbs which felt natural as opposed to a abstinence from normal food that would instantly pile back on the second I got back into my usual routine. I learnt some very important lessons on eating clean, healthy food. I would definitely advice my friends to experience Nosh- it's a bespoke miracle for the body.

THE PURE PACKAGE, SUMMER STUNNER PROGRAMME, £119.85

Tester: Holly Rains

I was nervous to try a three day detox after watching a couple of my friends suffer with their own detoxes consisting of nothing more than oddly coloured vegetable liquids, so was instantly put at ease when my first cool bag arrived at my door filled with an enticing array of 3 meals, 2 snacks and a menu explaining my food choices and how they would aid my ‘Summer Stunner' body programme.  The quality of the food was better than I could have imagined, with a sample menu consisting of fresh fruit, natural yoghurt and muesli for breakfast, Ostrich & artichoke salad for lunch and puy lentil pie for dinner.  Don't be put off by the amount of food that arrives as each menu is carefully calorie controlled, nutritionally balanced and ethically sourced. In only three days my body felt leaner, my mind clearer and definately on my way to a lithe bikini body (I can only hope).

PURIFYNE, 3 DAY BESPOKE PLUS WEIGHT-LOSS DETOX, £195

Tester: Esme Peterson

I am always dubious of these types of Juice Detox's as I am afraid of the ‘quick weight loss fix,' but when the juices arrived on the first day they tasted surprisingly delicious and were varied in fruit, veg and super-foods. On day two I reassessed my original mindset as I began to feel lighter, but also light-headed and in desperate need of solid food; watching other people eat their gorgeous sandwiches at lunch was torture. But the continual sipping of the juices means you actually retain a feeling fullness throughout so it's not starvation. Day three I was filled with a smug warm feeling as my jeans felt looser, and my skin began to look brighter. I definitely felt more alert and healthier all round, and would recommend it to my friends- you've got to be tough about it though!
