Fast Track A Detox Diet

To fast track a detox diet, you need to prep your body as if you were training for a marathon or for game day to handle the rigor during the detox duration. A detox is most effective when the body sustains little side effects associated with a detox, such as weakness, fatigue or nausea. Thus, the fast way to undergo a detox diet is building endurance and strength prior to setting foot on a detox plan. This plan should be followed 5 days prior to beginning the official detox.


Instructions








Preparation for a Fast Track Detox Diet


1. Eliminate high fats, such as greasy and fried foods, sugar, alcohol, caffeine, artificial sweeteners and refined carbohydrates.


2. Use a juicer to juice 1 cup of cranberries, one orange, one lemon and 4 inches of ginger root with skin. Mix in 1/4 tsp. of ground nutmeg. This juice concoction is designed to reduce hunger, boost metabolism, and balance blood sugar levels. Drink 3 cups a day.


3. Take 2 tbsp. of ground flaxseed or psyllium husk twice a day. Mix in with juices with pulp such as orange juice or grapefruit juice.


4. Begin each morning with an apple cider vinegar cocktail. Mix 1 to 2 tsp. of raw apple cider vinegar. You may add up to 1/2 tsp. of honey to taste. Drink first thing in the morning to cleanse the system.


5. Consume only lean proteins such as chicken, turkey and fish. Add side dishes of fresh fruits and vegetables.


6. Eat two servings of low-fat yogurt with "live cultures" each day. The healthy bacteria keeps the intestines healthy.








7. Drink 64 oz. of water a day. This can include drinking green tea.


8. Take a 10-minute brisk walk each day.
