Start the New Year Off Right with a 7-Day Detox Cleanse (and lose weight!)

I’ll let you in on a little secret I’ve learned throughout the years before moving on to the cleanse protocol:  Typically, when you’re hungry, your body is actually craving a specific nutrient or nutrients.  That’s why we could go on food binges all day long yet still want more!  But, the minute your body is replenished with all of its vitamins and minerals, you’ll notice your cravings begin to dramatically disappear.  This concept of “replenishing nutrients to decrease cravings” is exactly what I’ve based my 7-day cleanse on instead of just focusing on weight loss like some other cleanses.  By ingesting as many nutrients as possible within this 7-day cleanse, you’ll not only lose the excess holiday weight, but you’ll also dramatically decrease cravings for unhealthy foods, which will ultimately benefit you in the long run to help keep the weight off.

Fun Fact: When you eat toxic food (aka most holiday foods), your body stores those toxins into fat cells to protect your organs.  Just remember, every time you eat toxic (processed) foods, it will most likely be stored in a fat cell leading to more fat!

Lets get started… Your 7-Day protocol is listed below.  Save the image to your phone for quick reference.

I tried to keep the number of ingredients for this cleanse as simple as possible without affecting the results.  You should be able to find organic options for all of these ingredients as most grocery stores.  If you can’t afford all organic, don’t worry… you’ll still get results.  Another option if your local grocery store doesn’t offer organic produce or you want to save an extra buck is to check out your local farmer’s market!

After the Cleanse:

Do NOT eat processed foods or drinks after the cleanse for at least 14-30 days.  Stick to eating all natural foods (fruits, veggies, nuts, seeds, etc.).  While on the cleanse protocol, you began the cleansing and healing process.  You don’t want to undo the progress you’ve made!
