Detox Day 5 - Breaking Your Cleanse

You have done it.... well done all!

Now the most important part it to come of your cleanse the right way. You want to end your detox gradually, slowly incorporating your regular foods back into your diet. 

Keep it simple...

Use easy to digest foods such as steamed vegetables, proteins such as nuts, legumes, wehy or eggs.  If you are introducing meat back into your programme, choose organic chicken, or fish rather than red meats

Keep to portion sizes, as especially after detoxing your stomach may have shrunk as you were having liquids and eating cleaner, raw foods in smaller portions.  When you eat slowly and eat smaller portions, you will find how much food you really need to feel full. Take time to appreciate the flavours and how good food tastes especially when you haven't tasted it for a while. 

I know we have all been to fancy restaurants and seen some of the portion sizes and laughed to ourselves thinking we are going to starve and will have to go outside the restaurant and get a take away or snack after wards, but actually when you savour the food, chat and socialise, eat slower, you find it does fill you up.  Try doing the same at home with family, turn off the TV and enjoy the flavours and conversation and company. 

More tips on breaking your cleanse the right way

Drink more water. It’s the best way to flush toxins out of the body.

•    Chew slowly. Digestion begins in the mouth.

•    Avoid overeating. Less is more, especially when breaking a cleanse.

•    Keep it simple. Avoid eating too many different foods in one meal to ease digestion.

•    Find a good probiotic. Good bacteria keep your digestive tract healthy.

•    Pay attention to your elimination habits.

•    Eat organic where possible or wash fruit and vegetables thoroughly and avoid processed foods. Cleaner food means fewer toxins.

•    Avoid alcohol. It’s toxic.

•    Exercise. You’ll sweat out toxins as you move. 

•    Take time to meditate. Deep breathing helps cleanse the body.

Detox Preparation - Getting The Most Out Of Detoxing

Now is the time of year to start thinking about detoxing. All the rich creamy and fatty foods eaten during the festive season have left many of us feeling bloated and overweight.  To get your body prepared for the January weight loss we normally go through, it is best to start with a gentle detox first.

Benefits of Detoxing:
1. Cleanses the colon of fatty foods that have stuck to the insides
2. Gets rid of toxins within the body
3. Improves digestion within the gut
4. Energises the body leaving you feeling refreshed
5.Increases blood flow and absorbtion of nutrients into the body
6. Helps to keep you 'regular'.

There are many more benefits too numerous to mention, but above are some really beneficial ones.

So, what does detoxing involve:
Well, first of all the point of detoxing is to get rid of toxins inthe body, therefore in order to aid the expulsion of these toxins, we need to eat foods that do not take long to digest, and foods that the body can digest quicker and easier.  Therefore no process foods, red meats, cakes, biscuits or pastas,rice or takeaways, rich creamy sauces etc.

Cave Man Dieting Method - what to eat!
We are going to take it back to 'cave man diet'.  What is this you may ask, well its about eating fresh fruit, raw vegetables or lightly steamed vegetables, nuts and grains.  Back in the days of the cave man, it was a simple diet, and meat was rarely eaten, if they did, they had to hunt for possibly days to find the meat and this would have involved a chase so plenty of exercise!

By cleansing the body of complex processed foods can help to get your digestive system running at its optimum best. Think of your body as a Ferrari, it needs the highest grade fuel in order for it to run at its optimum best, if you but diesel oil into a Ferrari, it will run sluggishly and slow and possibly blow up the engine!  So, having fresh fruit, vegetables, grains and nuts are the high grade fuel our body needs to run at its optimised best.  However, the way in which are foods are grown today do not give us as much vitamins and nutrients as they did say 20 or 30 years ago.  Food is grown amongst pesticides, chemicals and pollution,along with the fact that they are then 'processed' in some what to preserve their longevity in the stores from the place where they are harvested.  That is why it is important that we also supplement our diet with vitamins.

I will go into supplementation in another blog post, but for now the main vitamins we will need for our detox is as follows:
Aloe Vera Drink- this is good for cleansing and aiding digestion inthe gut
Flora Fibre - this contains good bacteria that the gut needs, because when we detox good and bad bacteria can be depleted from the body.
Fibre & Herbs - Fibre & Herb is high in soluble fibre which helps to optimise your digestive health by supporting the body’s natural elimination of waste and toxins.

All of the above vitamins can be purchased from my Herbalife shop http://healthyweightloss.herbalcoach.com and if you purchase through my shop you will get a 10% discount applicable for members who sign up for our 10 day detox programme today.
