Do-it-yourself detox
How to stay on plan and what diet to choose?
While
detox
is a great idea when it comes to keeping your body free of
toxins, it is not something you should do to
lose weight.
Delicious Planet, an organic meal delivery service, offers
the following tips if you are one of those do-it-yourself
types:
- Omit
alcohol,
smoking, caffeine,
sugar, for one month.
- Omit the two main allergens that may be
causing some distress – gluten (wheat, oats, barley) and
dairy.
- Eat only fresh
salads,
soups,
raw nuts and seeds, beans, lean fish and poultry and
fruits and vegetables.
Tips to stay on plan

Add other,
non-food indulgences to your life, such as a
massage
or spa
treatment. Rent wonderful
movies to keep yourself happy and
entertained. In doing so, you won’t miss the
pizza, coffee, and other items that might be contributing
to your ills in the first place. "You’ll finish the detox
feeling better than ever and ready to keep the organic
deliveries coming," according to Randi Carter, company founder
and CEO.
Quit trying
to be such a perfectionist. It is much better to fall off the
wagon and get back on the next day then to ever beat yourself
up for cheating on your
diet here and there. Try to notice and gently steer away
from this behavior. |
 Adopt a
stress
relieving practice. Some ideas?
Massage,
yoga,
meditation, napping on the weekends? Stress is more toxic than
anything, so start here. Buy as
much organic as possible. Just put less pollution into
your body this way and your body will reward you for it.
Trader Joes and farmers’ markets are the most affordable
way to go.
Exercise.
Sweat out impurities by at least walking 30 minutes a
day.
Increase
your fruit and vegetable intake. The fiber will help
absorb toxins and take them out of your system quickly,
fiber keeps blood sugar stable, keeps you feeling full,
etc. The antioxidants in fresh, organic produce will
keep your immune system strong. Think about a bowl of
whole fruit on the dining room table to grab for
breakfast or
snacks and adding a green salad with sliced veggies
every day.
Switch to a high
end
vitamin supplement. You need high quality ingredients that
your body can actually break down and absorb. Low end
ingredients, the wrong packaging and chemical fillers, can
prevent this from happening. You can find these at health food
stores or from your health care provider.
Get a
water filter. If you don’t have a filter, YOU are the
filter. Try reverse osmosis or another professional system.
