The Cleansing Detox

OK....sorry I haven't posted my stats this week but I was thinking now I am nearing the end I would do it every 2 weeks so MONDAY I will post stats. Fingers crossed the plateau has been breached!

The detox was really good - it is more of a cleanser than a fast as you still consume approx 1,400 cals.

You will need:

Brown Rice
Pomegranate Juice
Salad
Almonds
LOTS of water

Brown rice and pomegranate juice are known antioxidants and help flush your system.

The combination will give you all the vitamins and minerals you need for your day, clear your body of toxins and oxidants, and provide you with plenty of energy  for your normal routine and a workout.


1. No coffee or tea, or any soft drink. The ONLY liquids that are allowed are the 4 glasses of pomegranate juice and much water as you can drink.

2. If you are a smoker, try to stop for the 24 hours, or if you cannot, limit the cigarettes to as few as possible, and try not to inhale, but smoke the cigarette as you would a cigar.

3. Take a hot shower or bath both in the morning and in the evening, scrubbing the skin with a brush, loofa, or special skin cloth that will stimulate good blood circulation. Also going to a sauna is a wonderful idea. Spend as much time there as possible, taking your food with you.

4. Do not cheat; follow the diet plan. Eat ONLY when you are hungry, not by the clock.

5. Exercise by any means (walking may be the best) for at least 45 minutes during the day. This is very important.


Breakfast
One glass of pomegranate juice, with a handful of the raw almonds. Do not overfill your stomach; when you are about 50% satisfied, stop.

Mid-morning Snack
One bowl of the brown rice, with some natural soya sauce, and some tofu if you feel you need protein. One glass of water. I boiled my rice with some fresh ginger or powdered ginger for a bit of flavour and ginger is good for you.

 Lunch
One glass of pomegranate juice and a mixed green salad, as much as you wish. A dressing of virgin olive oil, wine vinegar, and salt may be used.

Mid-Day Snack
One glass of pomegranate juice, with a handful of the raw almonds. Do not overfill your stomach; when you are about 50% satisfied, stop.

Diner
The last glass of pomegranate juice and a large bowl of brown rice. I also mixed salad in with my rice so it wasn't so bland and to give me more food.


I also drank boiled water with a slice of lemon and some cinnamon throughout the day as it is a good cleansing drink. I went for a 6km run and didn't feel weary or lethargic as I was still eating. I did this Tuesday and Thursday last week and I did feel re-energised and cleansed and my milk supply didn't suffer from detoxing.



Happy Blitzing!
