i have been off my diet for so long. before i get back on full swing. i want to do like a body cleanse detox thing. there are so many out there. has any one done this with success and what did you use?
I just finished a seven day detox/cleanse yesterday. I went on the Cabbage soup diet. You can get all of the information for free if you google it. I was thrilled today when I stepped on the scale and lost 9 pounds. I feel really good and am now in complete control over my eating. I found that I used to crave sugary junky processed foods but now the two cravings I have had were a hard boiled egg with salt and pepper and a banana smoothie. I am not at all hungry and feel in complete control. I will warn you though, the first two days are not fun. I was grumpy grumpy grumpy!
Here it is in short but again you can google it.
Day 1: Fruit and cabbage soup (as much as you want)
Day 2: Veggies and soup, again you have no limits on any of the food you eat. The idea is the foods you are eating have less calories than what it takes your body to digest them and that is why you have such a big weight loss. Oh and you get a baked potato on this day too but just one!
Day 3: Fruit, veggies and soup
Day 4: up to 8 bananas and skim milk(as much as you want) I got a bit creative here and made smoothies adding cinnamon and baked banana chips sprinkling cinnamon on them
Day 5: Beef and tomatoes, you can substitute the meat and if you are not a tomato person you can have red peppers or watermelon instead
Day 6: Beef and veggies
Day 7: Brown rice, unsweetened fruit juices and veggies along with soup.
At first the soup is amazing but after day 5 I stopped eating it I couldn't even think about it anymore.
The soup recipe I followed was;
cut up an onion and add a little oil and minced garlic, cook until onions are brown. Add your veggies, I used a green pepper ,red pepper, a few celery stalks, and carrots. Then I added tons of spice cumin, chill flakes,garlic, pepper, cajun, oregano, italian spices. Then you pour in low sodium chicken broth and water. Finally add half a head of cabbage cut up. Voila!
Enjoy
