Unhealthy Foods today I'm going to countdown my top 10 tips about
cleansing detoxing and fasting to give you some good realistic ideas on how you
can clean up your diet first thing to know is that your body is always
detoxifying as long as you aren't overwhelming your body with toxins so the
first thing that we want to do if we're wanting to cleanse and detox and assist
our body in that process is to limit the number of toxins are putting into our
body so things like alcohol caffeine sugar any kind of refined food processed
food any kind of junk food all of those things are going to have a lot of
toxicity so if you can just take those things out of your diet and focus on
eating real natural food then that is a huge step just right there and you're
not having to significantly cut your caloric intake the second thing you can
start to do is drink more water and I talked a lot about drinking water so
maybe you've already started doing that in that case then you can start
drinking lemon water or apple cider sugar in water and especially if you do
this first thing in the morning this is a really great way to get your body
detoxifying and it's also alkalizing to your body so drinking lemon water in
the morning is actually in ayurvedic practice but again it has this kind of
double benefit of also helping to detoxify and alkalize

I kind of like to alternate using apple cider vinegar and using lemon
with both of these are really good habits to start adding into your daily
routine so once you've gotten number 1 and number 2 which is eliminating the
toxic food and drinking more water in the next thing you want to start doing is
eating more detoxifying food basically that's your fruits and vegetables so I
would recommend going to the grocery store get yourself a bag of celery a bag
of carrots a bag of spinach as many vegetables as you can see yourself eating
and just make a commitment to yourself to eat those vegetables in place of
snacks or candy or whatever other thing you might be eating and just kind of
give yourself the challenge of eating as much of those vegetables as he can and
it short of a span of time as possible with that helps you or spread it out
over the course of the week the idea is to increase your intake of these
detoxifying vegetables if you want to go a step further you can actually enjoy
green smoothies or green juices which will also be highly detoxify but the main
point of this trip is just to eat more vegetables now there are a lot of
different cleanse and detox products out there and some of these products are
healthy if some of these products are what I might say kind of a scam but the
main reason that any kind of weight loss or cleanse product is helpful is
because it is a commitment that we make to ourselves so when we click that
little button or we spend some money to order some kind of product we feel like
we're making a tangible commitment to ourselves does this tip is to actually
save your money on products and cleanses and different stuff like that and
spend it on healthy foods like the ones I've mentioned before it's a give
yourself a tangible commitment write down what you're going to do and so pick
how many days you want to do if you have one day then do one day if you want to
do it three days to do three days the whole idea is to pick something if it's
realistic for you I know you can always go longer but take your minimum
commitment and write it down and then write down
you can see her in three day cleanse and write down what you're going to
do so no caffeine no sugar maybe it's no alcohol maybe it's I'm going to drink
a green juice every day you pick your cleanse you get to design it yourself and
then write it down put it in the stone maybe write it down a couple times but
one on your fridge one on your car one at work on your desk maybe one inside
your fridge and just know that this is your tangible commitment to yourself
know that any kind of weight loss product or whatever it's not the product
that's helping you lose weight it's you and your commitment to yourself so
doing something like this writing it down talking about it to a friend leave it
in the comments write it down make your commitment to yourself and know that
you are the one who's responsible for your help your weight loss and your
general health and happiness if you are stressing yourself out over your detail
or your diet or whatever it may be then realize that stress kind of defeats the
whole purpose of what you're doing so when we want our body to be better at
detoxifying we want to try and cleanse bad things out of our body then stress
is going to be one of the many things that actually kind of acts like toxicity
in itself so when we get really stressed out and we have a lot of the stress
hormone cortisol pumping through our veins it makes our digestive Wellness less
effective and less efficient and make a ramune system less efficient are energy
levels are mood and our ability to detox and detoxify are actually going to
suffer so if you are wanting to improve your body's ability to detox then
making an effort to relieve stress is really really important so just making
some time to have some down time or watch a relaxing article a meditation maybe do some yoga anything that was
going to give you a chance to calm down and breathe deeply to maybe be more
aware of your surroundings you just walk outside or get some fresh air all of
those things are going to and then you just need to make a conscious effort to
recognize what stresses you out when you're getting the most stressed out and
try to avoid their situation because if you're really stressed out kind of
defeating the Super Bowl before I move onto fasting and cleansing I want to
make one more know about our physical body so this one is about exercise and
you need to realize the exercise is one of the primary ways that the body detoxifies
itself so getting exercise getting your body sweating this is going to be
really important for cleansing intoxifying another thing to realize is that not
getting physical activity and itself is pretty stressful on the body so we were
talking about wanting to relieve stress one of our body's ability he talk
exercise is a really important factor so one of my favorite tips is it if you
can't make more time for physical activity and find ways to make
your daily activities more physical or more active like taking the
stairs instead of the elevator have you ever been extremely extremely cold and
then stuck you're extremely cold hand into extremely hot is boiling water but
you can imagine not very pleasant so this tip is about avoiding extreme so you
can imagine that if you're eating at the average diet of processed foods and
sugar alcohol and caffeine and then all of a sudden you go to no food or maybe
you're doing some kind of cleansing Elixir or something like that you can
imagine that this is a really extreme and while that extreme change may not
necessarily hurt you it's probably not going to be very pleasant self this is
why I always recommend small reasonable realistic changes so rather than making
some extreme change that you're going to make an extreme change back to the old
food as soon as you get done with it we're going to make small changes drinking
lemon water is a really good example eating more vegetables is a really good
example realize that you don't have to do something really really extreme in
order to have extreme benefit in your help and if you give your body more
simple changes that are not going to be this abrupt will extreme change then
not only is it going to be easier to keep those new habits that you've made but
they're also going to be more pleasant overall but let's say that you are
committed to doing a fast was doing a cleanse or doing something kind of
extreme it's hip I would recommend number one is to really educate yourself
about this fast or this cleanse and do as much research as you can to really be
prepared going in so you're not going to just read one post that somebody says
to eat this and going to eat it I'm going to actually do as much research on
you as you can for whatever this program is you're going to do the other thing
is to realize that if you guys going from eating 2000 calories a day to eating
eating 500 calories a day you can expect to have about a quarter of the energy
so if we're going to do something what are caloric intake we need to be able to
also make changes in our daily life so have more downtime have less stress
maybe this is a time that you're off work for a week you're on vacation for a
little while and you just have a little bit more time to veg out really cuz if
you're doing a faster cleanse you're going to need some down time and
relaxation time you don't want to be running a bunch of errands stressed out
with work stressed out with your home life and then kind of do a faster clip on
top of it so not trying to discourage you from doing a fast you just need to be
realistic with yourself and realistic about how this dietary change is going to
affect your wife and what changes you're going to make so that you can actually
handle those big dietary another benefit of fasting is it in his are digestive
system a break it's like giving your digestive tract a little vacation so we
just want to make sure that if we're going to do this we're not going to make
these extreme sudden changes we're going to Ethan and he's out and I'll discuss
that a little bit more but the idea is that fasting can be very helpful to be
very beneficial for our body but again this is an extreme change make that
we're making to our diet so extreme changes in her diet or going to require a
little bit more preparation and a little bit more planning than something like
just eating more vegetables for so expanding on the idea of avoiding these
extreme changes from eating one way to graphically eating another way another
concept I want to introduce you easy in an easing out of your fast or cleanse
so this evening in and out process if your body a chance to adjust to whatever
changes you're making so for instance when I get the master cleanse I tried to
eat really helping for the couple of weeks leading up to it and then I spent
three days eating all raw veggie soups and stuff that were easy to digest a man
in 3 days doing just vegetable juices and then 10 days on my master cleanse and
then 3 days on the juices free days on the road so we get this idea that you're
kind of easing your body in so that your body can adjust and kind of acclimated
and you can read a lot more about using in and eating out I read about it on
the internet and I actually there's a book on the master cleanse that I read as
well so again back to educating ourselves on whatever plan we're going to do
and just remember that doing a cleanse or doing a fast is not a quick-fix so if
you're just thinking of going to do this cleanser fast and then go back to
eating junk then you kind of have your priorities out of balance realize it would
actually be a lot better for your body
to make some good sustainable changes that you're going to have for the
Long Haul then to just go on this extreme cleanse for a little while and then
go back to eating the same Foods in a future article I'm going to discuss some of the different protein powders and meal
replacement powders that are on the market I'm going to tell you what to look
for and most importantly what to avoid in your protein powders and then another

okay so you're going to make this little commitment for yourself write it down
and leave it in the comments section down below so that we can all kind of
going through this together remember that weight loss and getting healthy
