Sample Cleansing Diet Plan
If you'd like to try a cleansing diet but aren't sure where to start, here are some ideas.
Features
On the second or third day, you can move into the rest of the diet. The other foods allowed are organic raw fruit and vegetables, steamed or stir-fry vegetables and brown rice or brown basmati rice. Stir-fry vegetables should only be cooked in virgin olive oil or sesame oil. Herbs and spices can be added. You can eat as much of these food items as you like and as often as you like. Be sure to eat lots of green vegetables, such as spinach, broccoli, celery, kale, chard and beet greens, and also be sure to have some fruit each day.
¦Organic food and drink (no pesticides or fungicides).
¦Whole unprocessed foods (grains, nuts, seeds, etc).
¦High mix of vegetables and fruit.
¦2 liters of water per day
Today you can consume up to 20 ounces of beef and a can of tomatoes (or 6 whole tomatoes). Do take the soup.
Eat as much beef and vegetables as you want. You can even have 2-3 steaks with green leafy vegetables but baked potato is a strict no. Don’t forget to take your soup at least once today.
On the last day of the diet, you can have brown rice, unsweetened fruit juice and vegetables and the soup.
At the end of 7 days you would have lost anywhere between 10-17 pounds. If you have lost more than 17 pounds, stay off the diet for a couple of days before resuming it again. This diet acts on the principle that you will burn more calories than your intake. The fat-burning soup can be eaten anytime you feel hungry and in any quantity. You can also substitute boiled, broiled or baked chicken instead of beef, though there should be no skin on the chicken.
Nowadays, because of our fast paced and unhealthy lifestyle we consume so much processed and junk food, that our body does not get enough nutrients. Instead our bodies our filled with toxins that come from various sources such as water, chemicals used to prepare food, and in today's world even the air we breathe. Therefore, it is very important to detoxify our body regularly. One of the most popular and effective ways of detoxification of our body is the 7 day cleansing diet. This diet is a good idea if you have overindulged over the holidays and need to get back to a healthy diet.
Information on The Cleansing Diet
A cleansing diet is based on the idea that when all sources of incoming toxins are eliminated, the body will be able to start eliminating the stored toxins. Now what are toxins? They are mainly chemicals and pollutants from the air we breathe, the water we drink and the food we eat. Toxins also include smoke and alcohol. Normally the human body is able to flush all toxins, but when there is too much, it cannot and as a result, toxins get accumulated. Because of this, we experience fatigue, headaches, poor energy levels, digestion problems, constipation, sleeping disorder, unhealthy skin, nervousness, become irritated and much more.
