4 Week Colon Cleanse
Printable colon cleanse Instructions
This chart is a guide to help make proper food choices for your 4 week colon cleanse. Please note that a colon cleanse is what is truly a general or total body cleanse since the body works as one unit. “Colon cleanse” happens to be the most popular term for this cleanse.
When choosing fruits and vegetables, try to find organic if possible. (If you can’t, don’t sweat it.) If you choose veggie or fruit juice, juice it yourself or get it fresh made. When choosing meats, please use skinless and lean portions. Try to use meat with no hormones as this is a substance you are trying to clear out. Again, if you can’t find it, don’t sweat it. If cost is an issue, try to keep in mind you only need about 4 ounces of meat per meal.
SPECIAL NOTES during your 4 Week Colon Cleanse
- No tomato juice for now
- For dressings, keep it easy like Italian, Balsamic Vinegrette, lemon, red wine vinegrette and olive oil or find a dressing from the recipes page.
- No dairy (other than a small serving of yogurt the first couple weeks)
- No fried foods
- No canned, frozen or processed foods

- If your body needs to heal a health issue, add a
vegetable juice
in the snack times. When I had Hep C, my Chamion Juicer
was my lifeline. It's not the most expensive, but it has worked well for me for almost 20 years now.
