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.

Detox Diets ? For a Healthier Lifestyle



Detox diets are designed to flush out poisons and contaminates from your body in a healthy and gentle manner. Many use a detoxifying diet plan to begin a weight loss regime and some use the plan periodically to maintain health and vigor. Detox diets should not be thought of as fads ? they’ve been used for centuries in a belief that they promote a healthier and longer life.

A detox diet is restrictive, allowing only fresh and natural foods that are fibrous and that will help your immune system and those filtering organs like the kidneys and liver to work properly. There are detox diet plans for everyone, including the following:

· Clean Diet ? This detox diet plan lasts for 21 days and is especially designed for those who enjoy a bustling lifestyle.

· Raw Food Only ? Those choosing this diet plan are only allowed to consume raw and uncooked food.

· Super Cleanse ? Dieters can choose from several unique plans designed for cleansing the body, including juice fasts and vegetarian plans.

· Weight Loss Cure ? This diet plan uses cleansing techniques as a way to begin a weight loss program.

· Martha’s Vineyard Detox Diet — Strictly a plan to lose weight ? up to 21 pounds in 21 days.

· Swiss Secret ? A detox plan to improve health as well as help you to lose weight.

· Fruit Flush ? A 3-day plan to flush out your system and get you on the track to losing unwanted pounds.

Most of the detox diets you’ll find advocate drinking at least 2 liters of water per day, ingesting various herbs that help the detoxifying process (milk thistle, Psyllium seed and Licorice root, for example), avoiding food and drink that are processed or were grown using pesticides and fungicides and eating lots of organic vegetables, fruit and unprocessed foods such as seeds and grains. You’ll also be asked to avoid caffeine, smoking and certain drugs or vitamin supplements.

Our lifestyles and environmental issues today simply beg for a detoxifying diet plan to keep our bodies healthy and rid them of the harmful chemicals, toxins, pollution and other elements that contaminate our lives. In the past, we often thought that “detox” meant a treatment for dependence on drugs or alcohol, but now we know that detoxifying our systems is a method that we can use periodically to keep our bodies working properly so that we can enjoy health and longevity.

There are many detox diets available and you can find an abundance of information about them online. Research the various detox methods and decide which is best for your lifestyle and that will help you achieve your goals.

Begin Weight Loss With a Clean Slate – Fast Diets




Preparing your body for weight loss by choosing from the many available fast diets can give you a clean slate that will ensure the foods you eat on a diet plan are absorbed into your body the way they should. Valuable nutrients and vitamins can’t be properly distributed in a body that’s clogged with contaminates.

These pollutants inhibit the filtering organs like the kidneys and liver and restrict their effectiveness, causing the good food that you eat to be less effective in your weight loss program. But, when you begin a weight loss plan by fasting for awhile, these toxins are flushed from your body in a natural manner and the organs will be working faster and more effective when you begin eating normally.

There are many types of fast diets available, for almost any type of lifestyle. Some of the most popular ones include:

· Juice fasts ? Drinking only fruit and vegetable juices is a form of detox diet. No food is consumed during the fast ? only juices and water. Juice fasts are used for fast weight loss and stubborn pounds that you’re having difficult losing.

· Raw food fast ? A great alternative to strictly liquid diets, you can munch on raw veggies and fruits during the day and of course drink plenty of water. Sometimes juice is allowed on a raw food fast, depending on which one you choose.

· Tea fast ? There are certain types of teas that promote body detoxification and help you lose those stubborn pounds. Just be sure that you choose organically grown teas that are free from additives.


There are several different ways you can fast ? or make up your own. Fast on the weekends if you wish or fast one day and eat healthily on the next. When you’re attempting to lose weight, it sometimes helps to lessen caloric intake drastically for awhile. Your taste buds will be ready and willing to accept healthy foods that are free from chemicals and additives.

When fasting does its job, your entire system will be cleansed of most of the harmful side effects of eating what most of us are guilty of eating ? fast foods, processed foods and too much starch and sugar. The cravings for these foods will eventually disappear as you replace a “normal” diet with a healthy one.

Since your organs are more effective after a fast, they can do their jobs better and weight loss will be rapid. There are so many health benefits when you fast, but you also have to be careful about which fast you choose. For example, if you’re pregnant or suffer from a disease like diabetes, fast diets probably aren’t something you should try. Before any type of diet change be sure and get a complete checkup from your health care provider.
