Preping for a DETOX!

I have been reading a couple of books about detox. I think now that I have healthified my diet, it is time to clean my system from all the toxins I have been exposed to over the years.

The first book that read was by Natalia Rose called "Detox 4 Women", although I enjoyed reading the book, I found her detox program a bit strict, i.e. In the list of items to eliminate for 4 weeks are; Fruits, Nuts, Sprouted Breads... etc. The only allowed foods are vegetables and fresh vegetable juices. She allows dark chocolate, wine, and grains like Quiono.

The second book that I read is by Nathasha Kyssa's "The Simply Raw Living Food Detox Manual". I found the book very informative and enjoyed reading it. I liked her detox program better simply because she eases you into cutting out fruits and nuts, but you can not have chocolate, grains (even the healthy ones) or alcohol.

I think once I have gone through Natasha's detox program, I would wait a couple of months and give Natalia's program a try.

A couple of things that I need to do before I start are;

  • Buy a Magic Bullet to take with me to work, this way I can make my smoothies at work
  • Start making some lentile, wheat and sunflower sprouts.

The program is a 28 day detox plan, which I plan to start on June 14th and should end on July 11th.
