So i want to cleanse my body of all the toxins and just feel betterI am not doing this for weight loss, I really can't afford to lose weight and I'm happy with my appearance, I just want to cleanse from the insideShould I try a detox diet or will it be unsafe for someone who doesn't need to lose weight? Any suggestions on the type of detox diet? thanks
It doesn't matter what the food is, but eat more meals in smaller portions
protein shakes are REALLY filling and keep you full forever, but don't drink them unless your working out on a regular basis, or it will make you gain weight, but if your working out it helps you burn fat and cuts hunger.
drink a glass of water, before your meal or eat a bowl of soup before your meal.
I'd say to drink more liquids, preferably water or chew gum, its sort of like playing a trick on your stomach, that chewing sensation helps diminish your hunger, or eating something that requires you to chew a lot more before actually swallowingIf you want to lose weight I'd suggest eating breakfast every morning, eat several meals throughout the day like an apple, granola bar, things that are low in calories and good in nutrition that way you're metabolism is constantly going, if you begin to starve yourself your body stores the fat and uses it as a reserve because your body isn't sure when you'll eat again.
Hi Kate - How about that spam? I hope this is the answer you will listen toDetoxing and/or cleansing have absolutely no medical benefit and are in fact harmful to the digestive system and internal organsThere is no build up of bad plaque or sludge in a normal systemIf we had a layer of undigested foods or toxins lining our systems, we would all be dying of malnutrition since we would be unable to absorb any nutrientsOur bodies detox 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneysWe can help detox by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and saltLots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can beThe less processed your food is, the betterMinimal alcohol, caffeine, sodaTry to drink 100 oz of ice cold water per dayRead food labelsIf you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your bodyExtreme detoxing diets or supplements actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive systemTo cleanse the digestive system, search foods high in soluble fiberSoluble fiber encapsulates fatty acids and toxins as they pass through the system minimizing absorption of fats and re-absorption of toxins15 bean soup is a great hot food right now high in soluble fiberFiber foods give the intestines a good workout by giving them something to push againstOh ya, that action (peristalsis) burns calories as wellSpend your money in the produce department instead of giving it to someone peddling unproven, unregulated, and even dangerous productsGood luck.
