My detox is always a learning experience
After successfully completing a month-long detox from meat, dairy, bread, pasta, alcohol, sugar and caffeine, I feel stronger mentally and physically. I am saving my health by cutting out processed foods, dairy, and meats pumped with hormones and antibiotics. Now I eat grass-fed meat, wild caught fish, and pasture-raised eggs, but I try to stay away from all other meats and fish that don’t have these labels.
Why I like to Detox
The primary reason I detox is to cleanse my body of toxins, create healthy habits, restore my organs and replenish my body and mind. The main goal is not to lose weight, however, I usually lose 5-7 lbs. with a significant change in my face, abdomen, and arms. Three weeks into my detox, I shot a Pilates DVD for Pilates Sports Center and was happy with the way I looked and felt for the video shoot!
My 28 day detox
- No pasta, bread, alcohol, sugar, meat or dairy (fish is ok)
- Meditate every day for 5-7 minutes. I thoroughly enjoyed how calming it is!
- Have a fresh green shake in the morning and afternoon
- I add Maca powder to the shake to help balance hormones and replenish adrenal glands
- Eat a leafy green salad every day and incorporate organic veggies and raw nuts on a daily basis.
- Stay away from drama!
