The Ingredients for a Cleansing Diet
Jun 14, 2011 | By Sava Tang Alcantara
If you overindulged during a vacation or from traveling for work and found yourself eating greasy fast food, you probably have suffered the consequences in weight gain. In order to get back on track, you might consider one of several types of a cleansing diet. The idea is to help your gastrointestinal system recover---the colon to clear waste, and your stomach, pancreas, liver and kidneys given time to reboot. There is more than one type of cleansing diet---choose one based on how much time you have to devote to it. If you have any serious health issues, get medical clearance from your physician first.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:drinker: The Master Cleanse
The Master Cleanse is a well-known fasting lemonade that is consumed as a liquid cleansing diet. It is very low calorie as the lemonade is made from organic lemons, filtered water, organic maple syrup and organic cayenne pepper.
Developed by Stanley Burroughs, the Master Cleanse has received media attention as several high-profile movie and music celebrities have use the diet to lose weight quickly for a role or special appearance. The Master Cleanse is designed to help clear the bowel and kidneys. The maple syrup provides the calories, and cayenne pepper is "heating" as the lemonade is consumed at room temperature.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>A Whole Foods Cleanse
Fill your shopping cart with organic vegetables, fruits, whole grains, legumes and non-saturated fats to cleanse with the detox diet as described in the book "The New Detox Diet," written by Elson Haas. A practicing physician in northern California, Haas advises people to consume steamed vegetables and fruits, along with whole grains such as millet, oats, brown rice, quinoa, legumes and non-saturated fats including olive, flax seed, canola and hemp seed oil.
By consuming this whole food diet, you provide your body with the fiber that acts as an "intestinal broom" to sweep waste from the colon. A vitamin- and mineral-rich diet, this detox cleanse will also provide calories to help prevent bingeing or falling off the wagon.
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>:drinker: Juice Fast Cleanse
Buy organic fruits, vegetables and herbal teas to do a directed juice fasting cleansing diet, as advocated by Carrie L'Esperance in her book "The New Seasonal Detox Diet." She provides many recipes to get you started on a cleansing diet.
One way is to juice organic produce and consume at least five to six, 6-oz. juices a day. Consume the same amount of filtered, mineral or spring water to provide the hydration for your colon and kidneys to cleanse.
Juicing provides calories and nutrition, but no fiber. To move your bowels daily, also consume herbal teas including triphala, senna or cascara sagrada. These teas are commonly used to help the colon cleanse.

How to Do the Deep Cleansing Diet
Oct 11, 2010 | By Davita Parks
The deep cleansing diet is used to rid your body of harmful or unwanted toxins. This type of diet is often referred to as a "fruit and vegetable diet," because you are forced to eliminate nearly all other types of foods, especially processed ones. This type of diet should not be used for the purpose of weight loss, and it should not be performed for more than two weeks at a time. Once you have completed the deep cleansing diet, you can begin incorporating previously consumed foods back into your diet. Before you begin any changes to your eating habits, confer with your doctor for additional advice particular to your medical condition.
Step 1
Eliminate all processed foods from your diet. These foods contain additives, artificial flavorings and refined substances.
Step 2
Substitute all animal-based foods and products, such as red meat, poultry, fish, eggs and all dairy products for whole grain foods and legumes. When eaten in moderation or proper portions, animal-based products can be included in a well-balanced diet. However, they are not allowed during a deep cleansing diet.
Step 3
Consume more fruits and vegetables. The American Dietetic Association considers fruits and vegetables to be natural cleansers that help rid the body of some of the harmful toxins found in many processed foods. To obtain the most nutrients from your fruits and vegetables, try eating them raw or steam them.
Step 4
Increase your water intake to help flush out your system. The Mayo Clinic recommends drinking approximately 64 oz. of water per day to stay properly hydrated. It also suggests that increasing your water intake will ward off hunger pangs and help you determine if you are truly hungry or just think you are.
Step 5
Continue this process for up to two weeks. Due to the caloric and diet restrictions, the American Dietetic Association recommends only taking part in a deep cleansing diet for no more than 14 days at a time. Continuing a deep cleansing diet for an extended period of time derives the body of some nutrients and vitamins that can only be found in certain foods or food groups.
Step 6
Add foods other than those allowed during your cleanse back into your diet. This should be done in moderation. Consuming too much food at one time following a cleansing diet can cause nausea, diarrhea or bloating. The Mayo Clinic states that any time you restrict or deprive your body of certain foods it learns to function without them. Therefore, the re-introduction of those foods could cause the body to react negatively if it is done improperly.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>ONE DAY DETOX
One Day Liquid Diet
Jun 14, 2011 | By Dana George
Though a one-day liquid diet may sound like a way to jumpstart a weight-loss program, it doesn't usually have anything to do with losing weight. Most people who go on any sort of liquid diet do so because of doctor's orders. These diets are often used as part of pre-op or post-op treatments as well as a method to reduce symptoms of certain digestive problems.
Diet
Most one-day liquid diets increase your intake of clear fluids while completely restricting solid foods. You can often eat or drink water, fruit juice, sports drinks, coffee, tea, broth, popsicles and gelatin. Fruit juices and popsicles shouldn't contain any pulp. Milk and cream aren't typically allowed, even as an addition to your coffee or tea.
Effects
Everything you consume on a one-day liquid diet is easily digestible, leaving no food residue within your gastrointestinal tract, according to the Mayo Clinic. This not only keeps your stomach and intestines clear, but also ensures you maintain hydration with this fairly stringent dietary restriction as well as reduce any stress or strain on your digestive system.
Benefits
The lack of food in the digestive tract allows certain tests or procedures to be performed by a medical professional. The reduction of stress or strain can often alleviate nausea, vomiting and diarrhea in people dealing with digestive conditions. It can also help during recovery for surgeries, like bariatric, before solid foods are introduced back into the diet.
Weight Loss
While a one-day liquid diet isn't a standard weight-loss tool, this doesn't mean that it isn't used to shed excess pounds. According to the Healthy Gimp, some weight-loss plans do incorporate a weekly cleanse where you only consume liquids for the entire day. More often than not, the liquid is a fruit juice, such as apples, prunes or lemons. It's used to "detox" the system and encourage additional weight loss. The next day, you go back to your calorie-restricted diet as normal.
Dangers
No real danger or risk exists on a liquid diet, especially when maintained for a single day. You're greatly restricting your caloric intake, which can lead to weakness and fatigue, but it shouldn't have a negative impact on your health. However, always talk to your doctor before making any extreme changes in your diet.
