Truth- you really want to look like the super model on the cover of the swimsuit edition of Sports Illustrated! Or more realistically, you want to fit into those jeans that you put in the back of your closet!Dare- I dare you to take the 21-day (that's only 3 weeks!) healthy detox cleanse!
It's not hard. It just requires commitment and determination. Really, there is nothing to it. No pills, no powders to mix, no pre-packaged foods. It's quite easy and you probably already know what to do. It’s just a matter of doing it! And, you probably have all the key ingredients in your kitchen!
I will offer you a sample of what the healthy detox cleanse looks like for you to sample. And, if you like what you see, and want to know more- don't delay and contact me at rachel@livehealthynyc.com
Week #1) Get back to basics with simple meals made with lean protein, pure fruits and veggies. No processed foods or sugar substitutes. Give your body a break. The first few days may be difficult as you may experience detox symptoms such as headache or fatigue. You may even feel like it’s a cold coming on, but its not- its your body getting rid of toxins. It’s ok to feel hungry. But, by the end of the week, you will feel energized, clearheaded and motivated to conquer week #2!
What to eat during this week: fruit and veggie smoothies, veggie soups, steamed veggies with protein, green salads.
Week #2) You will start this week with renewed energy and a clearer sense of yourself. Add more nutrient rich whole foods during this week. Brain boosting foods allow you to make smart decisions and keep you satisfied. Keep your goal lists and continue to keep a food journal. Eat enough to feel satisfied, not stuffed!
What to eat this week: baked sweet potatoes, kale salad, raw seed and nuts, veggie soups, grilled fish, chicken, tofu, lean meats.
Week #3) Home stretch! You have learned how to eat clean and you feel fantastic! This is a lifestyle, not a diet! New habits take practice, so don’t forget all that you have learned!
What to eat during this week: muesli, oatmeal, fruits, veggies, veggie burgers, eggs, salmon, roasted veggies, salads, beans, whole grains.
