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.

List of Foods

Vegetarian proteins: chlorella, spirulina, bee pollen, soy protein, brewers yeast, all sprouts, raw nuts & seeds, raw nut & seed butters, nut and seed milks, tofu, avocado, beans

Fruits
Pineapple, cherries, watermelon, cantaloupe, peaches, plums, pears, apples, strawberries, blueberries, grapes nectarines. Also, eat at least two grapefruit or six oranges or three lemons daily. All fruit should be fresh, not canned or frozen. Organic fruits are best.

Vegetables

Broth Recipe
This broth recipe can give you added nutrition and help you feel satiated.

Make a vegetable broth using cauliflower, cabbage, onion, lentils, peas, green pepper, parsley, carrots, beets with tops, garlic, potatoes, broccoli and/or brussel sprouts. Try 2 large potatoes and 1 cup of everything else.

Put all your veggies in a large pot with 1/2 gallon of spring water. Let simmer for two hours, drain (keep this broth). Mash the vegetables and put back in pot. Add 1/2 gallon spring water and simmer for another 2 hours. Drain this broth into the 1st broth. Throw away the vegetable mash or mix it in with your soil. For seasoning try Bragg’s “Liquid Amino’s” or Dr. Bronner’s “Mineral Bouillon”.

• 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.
• Don’t miss meals. This will work against any weight loss goals.
• No bread, pasta or rice with meat
• 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
• 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.
