PHASE 1—DETOXIFICATION The 9-day natural detoxification stage is not a fasting diet. Rather it is a vegetarian diet consisting primarily of fruits and vegetables, with some dairy and egg whites allowed. There are no absolute restrictions on how much to eat. The diet is designed to rid the body of toxins from processed foods and the environment, including the elimination of caffeine and alcohol, to make it easier to lose weight. Phase 1 includes 30 minutes of aerobic exercise
five times per week, with a suggested 20-25-minute walk after dinner to increase the metabolism
Foods allowed during phase 1 include:
all fresh fruits in any quantity
all vegetables in any quantity, except white or red potatoes and avocados; vegetables should be raw or lightly cooked (steamed or grilled)
one cup daily of fresh-squeezed—not canned—fruit or vegetable juice
one cup daily of cooked unsweetened oatmeal, grits, farina, or cream of wheat
up to four egg whites daily
any dried beans such as lentils or chickpeas
2 cups daily of cooked brown rice
tofu
a maxiumum of two tablespoons per day of tahini (sesame paste)
2 cups daily of low-fat or nonfat milk or soy milk
6 oz (170 g) of low-fat yogurt, maximum of 12 oz (340 g) daily
a maximum of two pickles per day
one-two teaspoons of low-fat virgin olive oil for grilling vegetables
low-fat dressing, no more than three tablespoons per salad
herbs and spices
hot-air popcorn without butter or margarine
a maximum of two tablespoons per day of artificial sweetener
2 cups daily of unsweetened decaffeinated herbal or green tea
unlimited water.
Foods prohibited during phase 1 include:
meat
bread
cheese, including soy cheese
fried food
nuts
fast food
desserts
soda
coffee
alcohol
Canned foods should be rinsed thoroughly to remove excess salt.
Although phase 1 lasts only nine days, dieters can choose to stay with phase 1 for one to two extra weeks or longer.
