Help me find good detoxes?

I'm trying to lose weight, and I do lose weight rather quick (I started a diet a couple weeks ago and lost about a pants size and two pants sizes) but I want to detox to help clean toxins out and really rev up my metabolism. What do you recommend? I've tried a straight water detox and that just made me bloat and feel very uncomfortable.

    Detoxing is a myth https://www.theguardian.com/lifeandstyle/2014/dec/...

    Any toxins in your body are released through urine, sweat or feces. Your skin, liver and kidneys are detoxing your body all the time - that's their function. Unless you have kidney or liver disease, your body is automatically removing any toxins. It has nothing to do with metabolism

    The only way to speed up your metabolism is through exercise and muscle building, not diet. Aerobic exercise and building more muscle mass is the only thing that can help increase your metabolism. So start working out and do some light weight training 2-3 times a week. You don't need heavy weights - just small hand weights are fine, doing 3 x 15 reps
