Healthy Weight Loss Cleanse

A healthy weight loss cleanse can have long-term effects by retraining you how to eat, eliminating toxins that can cause cravings and help raise your metabolism as you rid your body of accumulated waste.

Food and/or diet plays an important role in cleansing. Just like any healthy eating program, you can lose weight if that’s what your body needs. The following guide can help you get started on your healthy eating program for weight loss.l

Tips to Remember

  • Don’t be in a hurry to lose weight. You should lose between one half and two pounds a week if you want to keep it off. Even a good cleansing program with colonics will only allow you to lose at this pace in the overall picture.
  • Eat a good nutritious breakfast and lunch. Dinner will also be nutritious, but lighter so it is easier to digest.
  • Don’t miss meals. This will work against any weight loss goals.
  • No bread, pasta or rice with meat
  • Try not to drink with meals, drink 15 minutes before or 1 hour after. If you feel you need to, drink no more than 8 ounces with meal.
  • If this is a big change of eating habits for you, use butter, dressing or sauces when desired; just no chemicals or preservatives. There are many natural ones to choose from in abundance at Whole Foods Market
  • No white sugar or flour
  • No fried foods
  • Limit milk products
  • Stay away from canned, frozen and processed foods
  • No fast food or junk food for now
  • Do not overeat, this taxes the digestion
  • Do not eat after 9 pm
  • Always masticate your food well – this is the first stage of digestion. If food isn’t digested properly from the start, you won’t be able to assimilate the nutrients.
  • Add a cup of broth throughout the day if you feel depleted or in place of vegetable juice.
  • See why cleansing is better than just dieting.
