Detoxification

Many people ask me for plans that they can use to jump start a detoxification or weight loss plan.  I just completed a 28 day cleanse that took out the main foods that people are sensitive to.  It isn't a plan for wimps...for the majority of the plan, sugar, gluten, meat, soy, corn, dairy, oranges, tomatoes, alcohol, and many vegetables are removed.  This cleanse does give your body a break and brings down inflammation in the system.  It is also an opportunity to determine if you are sensitive to any of the above foods.  I tested myself using electrodermal screening after completing the 28 days, and found that the foods that I was sensitive to included MSG, peanut butter, white wine, shrimp, pork, yogurt, and squash.  If you find that any time that you eat, you experience bloating, gas, and digestive disorders, this may be an option for you.  You can find this cleanse at www.clearchangeprogram.com.  There is also a 10 day option if you don't want to commit to 28 days.  Another option that I found that isn't quite as strict is found on Doctor Oz's web site at www.doctoroz.com/videos/clean-detox-manual.  This program is based on a similar premise of eliminating offending foods, but may be more doable.  If you are looking for a protein drink, stay away from whey protein when eliminating dairy, and opt for plant based proteins instead (not soy).  Of course, it is beneficial to do electrodermal screening to determine going in what foods you are sensitive to, because many people are sensitive to some of the foods that are still included on the plan (salmon, avacado, rice and many vegetables).
