Fruit and Vegetable Detox
My
December fitness challenge officially starts tomorrow and what better way to
kick it off then to detox for the first 5 days. Although I eat fairly healthy,
I do have my little slip ups. Shhhhhhhh! That’s between you and I lol. Eating processed foods, refined sugar,
meat and dairy can be hard and stressful on the body. Our kidneys and liver have
to work extra hard to get rid of the toxins we expose them to on a daily bases.
Fruits and vegetables keep you healthy and aid in
the detoxification process, which rids the body of toxins and impurities. A fruit and vegetable detox is also a great way to cleanse and rejuvenate the body.
Have you been feeling, tired,
groggy, irritable, or having trouble losing weight? Are you not having a bowel
movement atleast twice a day? Are you feeling bloated, have dark urine or just
need a boost of energy? If you answered yes to any of these, then this detox
may be for you!
During the fruit and vegetable
detox, you are not allowed meat, bread, dairy, pasta, sugar or processed foods.
You are only allowed FRUITS, VEGETABLES and WATER. This may sound impossible
but it really isn’t. This gives you the chance to explore many new fruits and
vegetables. You can steam, sautéed, juice, smoothie or eat them raw. The key is
to eat every 2-3 hours so that you’re always full. The best part is you can eat
as much as you want. If you crave
something sweet to drink, make natural fruit juice and a delicious fruit
smoothie. I recommend you do this detox for 3 to 7 days. Please consult your
Doctor if you intend to do this more than 7 days, are diabetic, pregnant or
have any serious illness.
There are great benefits from doing a fruit and vegetable detox. You will see a difference in your skin, hair and nails. You will began to feel more energized and less tired. You will shed pounds and be less bloated, but most of all you will have given your body a well deserved break! I plan to do my detox for 5 days and if I'm not feeling to hungry maybe 7 days. I will be using a combination of green juices, fruit smoothies and veggie and fruit salads. I will also keep a journal on my detox journey and update you guys on exactly what I ate and whether I made it through the 5 days without cheating. Yes, I plan on tell you the truth and nothing but the truth good or bad. Join me on my fitness journey :)
