Detox Cleansing – Natural Way to Lose Weight



Rather than diet pills or weight loss diets that offer far less nutrients that your body needs ? think about using a detox cleansing method to prepare your body for weight loss ? the natural way. You may already realize the importance of eating organic and natural foods and avoiding too much meat or processed foods, but do you know that it’s also a way to detoxify your entire body from chemicals and toxins, restore your health and lose weight?

Detox Cleansing – Natural Way to Lose Weight

Depending on which detox cleansing diet you choose, other procedures (such as natural laxatives or juice fasts) may be included with the diet plan. Detox cleansing may seem like a drastic solution to weight gain, and you won’t be able to keep the weight off unless you make some lifestyle changes. But, after detoxifying your system, your body will be ready to accept these changes and you’ll be more apt to continue with a healthy lifestyle.

Some natural foods that you can eat to help your system in the detox cleansing process and flush out the toxins that are contaminating your body.

Here are some Detox Foods

Juices that are pure (no sugar added) and made with organically grown fruits and vegetables (cranberry juice is an excellent way to naturally flush out the kidneys).

Lean meat isn’t included at the beginning of the detoxification process, but as you reintroduce solid foods to your diet, avoid fatty meats and concentrate on lean chicken.

Raw fruits and vegetables are rich in fiber which keeps your digestive tract working properly.

Berries such as raspberries and strawberries are abundant in nutrients that help clean out pollutants such as alcohol. They also increase brain power.

Citrus fruits, rich in Viamins E and C are great cleansers for your liver.

There are many natural foods that help your body work properly ? and, after all — you do have the best detoxification process inside your body. You were specifically designed so that organs such as the kidneys, liver, gallbladder and lungs would work in your favor to keep the body safe from toxins.

But, along the way, our diets and lifestyles have gone from healthy, fresh foods and moderate or vigorous amounts of exercise to foods drowning in too much oil, sugars and salt ? and we’ve become a nation of couch-potatoes besides. Plus, the environment in which we live has become polluted, clogging our lungs and slowing our thinking process.

Detox cleansing means returning to a more simple way of life, eating natural foods, lots of water and exercising our bodies. It’s the natural way to make sure we remain fit and healthy, keep off the unwanted weight and be able to fight life-threatening diseases that come our way.

Flush Out Fat With These 5 Tips




Kicking your metabolism into shape so that you burn more calories rather than adding more fat to your body may take some drastic measures. Flushing the fat from your body is one way to increase your metabolic rate. It also rids the body of toxins that cause you to feel bloated and sluggish.

Fat tends to find a home in your body in three main areas ? butt, hips and thighs. Flushing out the fat targets these areas of your body rather than other diets where you may actually lose muscle mass.

Here are five tips for flushing unwanted fat out of your body that will lead you to weight loss success.

1. Lower calorie intake. Calorie count should be between 1000 and 1500 daily for the first couple of weeks.
2. During your fat flushing diet, you should add some good fat (such as flaxseed oil) as well as some protein, vegetables and fruit. Spices (such as cayenne pepper) are also a great addition to the diet plan.
3. Drink plenty of water, green tea and other liquids that act as a diuretic to flush out toxins and fat.
4. Get plenty of sleep. Sleep acts as a restorative process for your body and shouldn’t be neglected.
5. Keep track of all your activities, food and drink. You can jot the information in a notebook or enter it into one of the many online “journals” that are available.

Exercise is also important during this time, but don’t overdo it. You may feel weak because of decreased calorie intake. A brisk walk around the block or ten minutes on the treadmill will suffice.

After two weeks of the above regimen, you can increase your calorie intake to 1500 calories and add more carbohydrates to your diet. Follow this plan until you reach your desired weight. By then, your metabolism will have the boost it needs to work more efficiently.


Some medical professionals find that drastically lowering your calories is unhealthy and maintain that you’ll eventually put the weight back on. It’s true that you lose weight rapidly and unless you stick to the diet, you’ll more than likely put the pounds back on at a later time.

But you have a deadline to meet (such as fitting into that new bikini before your first trip to the beach), try the fat flushing diet for a couple of weeks to see quick and pleasing results.

The Basics of Healthy Detox



It’s easy to distinguish a healthy detox plan from an unhealthy one ? how it feels. And for each detox plan, there’s someone out there whose body will respond in a positive way and someone who will respond to the same plan in a negative way. Everyone’s body and lifestyle is different, so research carefully before you embark on the process.

The basics of a healthy detox plan mainly involve eating healthy foods to produce a healthy outcome. You should have an abundance of energy and never feel hungry. If you’ve been consuming an unhealthy diet, you may experience cravings or withdrawals, but those should pass in a short amount of time.

There are 3, 7 and 21-day detox plans and even 1 day plans, depending on your lifestyle. Some ask you to drink a liquid diet for at least one day and take a laxative to flush out the toxins. For some, this is too drastic — to ease into the plan is a much better option. And always check on your overall health before embracing any severe diet plan.

When you decide upon a healthy detox plan, it’s important that it’s at the right time in your life. You should plan to have as few distractions as possible during the beginning phase, so that means you should time it so that you can slow down, meditate and avoid the triggers (television and stress) that cause you to consume food mindlessly.

Among the basics of a healthy detox plan is to break away from unhealthy foods. You probably already know what they are:

· Alcohol and drugs ? Check with your doctor before you quit taking prescription drugs, but basically ? don’t drink alcohol or take over the counter drugs during the detoxification process.

· Don’t eat unhealthy foods ? Stay away from allergy-promoting foods, those that contain additives and unhealthy fats. Don’t eat meat during the detox plan. It can contain harmful hormones and other additives.

· Dairy and soy products ? Eggs and milk often contain antibiotics, causing digestive problems. Rather than soy, choose nuts and grains to get your protein requirements.

· Processed foods ? Products made with white flour and processed grains can cause an allergic reaction ? and they also contaminate your immune system.

· Don’t use saturated fats or hydrogenated oils in cooking ? Use healthy oils instead, such as olive and sesame oils.

· Avoid drinking carbonated beverages. Instead, drink pure, filtered water ? and plenty of it.

When you’re researching for a healthy detox plan, keep in mind the word, ‘natural.’ If you can’t say that a food is natural, don’t eat it.
