Dietitian Susie Burrell outlines her nutrition tips.

For those of you not keen to commit to a detox program, here are the best nutrition tips based on the most up to date research that support the use of nutrition for disease prevention and lifelong health.

• Eat more vegetables – the brighter the better, and at least 5 different types each day
• Take a fish oil supplement – you need at least 3 each day to receive all the natural anti-inflammatory effects
• Get rid of the soft drink and cordial – even the artificially sweetened options contain a number of preservatives
• Drink green tea – 2-3 cups each day
• Avoid palm oil – found predominately in biscuits, fried foods and cakes
• Avoid white flour – white breads, Turkish toast, biscuits and 97% fat free cakes are high GI and easy to overeat
• Limit coffee – sipping on milk based coffee all day is not good for blood glucose levels
• Grab a handful of nuts – walnuts are best; remember though, you only need 10 a day
• Eat a bigger breakfast – toast and tea is not enough; you need protein rich choices to get the metabolism going
• Stop eating by 8pm – aim for 10-12 hours without food each night and see how much easier weight control is
