So next week I decide to do a raw food cleanse by eating just fruits and vegetables. My primary reason for doing this is detoxing and health. Would anyone like to join?

    Before beginning, it's ideal to take a week or at least a few days to taper your intake of the following:

    Coffee
    Alcohol
    Salt
    Sugar and other sweeteners
    All animal foods, including dairy, eggs, fish, shellfish, chicken, beef, pork, and all other flesh meats
    These foods put significant strain on your digestive organs, and avoiding them "cold turkey" can sometimes create withdrawal symptoms that are too powerful for some people to tolerate.

    It's fine to eat grains, legumes, nuts, and seeds right up until the day before you begin your intense period of detox - these foods are rich in fiber, and their remains should move through your digestive tract without too much difficulty during your intense cleanse.

    Thanks, I would definately recommend this cleanse because it is not to hard because you are still consuming solids.
