Need a good detox diet?

During the 9 days, you will want to focus on the following:

-Break your meals down to 5 smaller meals.

-No meat! For protein, eat Chickpeas, beans, Lentils

-No potatoes

-As much water as you want: DRINK A LOT!

-As much fruit as you want

-As many vegetables as you want

-Allowed two 1 cup servings of brown rice a day

-Allowed 2 cups of low fat milk a day

-2 - 6oz servings of low fat yogurt a day

-Up to 4 egg whites a day

-2 cups of herbal tea a day ( I recommend Green Tea)

-All items can be seasoned to taste.

-NO SODA Diet or Regular.

Now the key to the above is to be creative and keep it all natural. Egg whites can be whipped up to make scrambled or even added to your veggies.

As for the brown rice, I found it best to flavor it and to let it cook long enough to make it tender. My suggestion on the brown rice is to sauté white onion and garlic in a small amount of olive oil, add the brown rice after a few minutes(let it sweat, while slowly stirring), then add the water as directed on the box(I always add a little bit more) and then I add a low salt flavoring. I also make the whole box/bag at one time and then put 1 cup servings of the rice into plastic containers for a quick reheat at a later time.

9 days seems like an eternity. If you are a caffeine addict, the caffeine headaches will set in quickly and can last 3-7 days. Fight the urge of the caffeine. Try the herbal tea, while it does contain caffeine, it is a slight different form and with the anti-oxidants, it will help you with the headaches and keeping your body cleansed from harmful ingredients in regular sodas.

Bottom line on the detox. You are steering clear of foods with added ingredients and names none of us can pronounce. You are cleansing your body of excess waste and allowing the digestive system to rest because it is not having to fight the processing of meats.

Happy detoxing!

Swap a bowl of pasta to get a bowl of vegetables. You can conserve to 200 calories by chopping the starch and adding veggies.
