Raw Food Detox

How To Get Started On A Raw Food Detox Diet

It’s officially Spring and it’s the best time of the year to detox. Eating a high percentage of raw food is considered to be one of the best ways to detox. But, if you don’t already eat a high raw diet you may be wondering how to get started on a raw food detox.

Karen Knowler, raw food coach, has been writing a series of articles that are aimed at people who want to go raw. She confesses that it took her 5 years to go completely raw but it does not have to take that long.

She explains that you should decide how much raw you want to eat. I believe that it’s often easier to ease into a new diet rather than jump into it with both feet. For one thing, if you are not used to eating a lot of raw food your digestive system is likely to rebel. For another, you may not be able to keep it up until you are used to the amount of produce you need to have ready and learn how to sprout.

Raw Food Detox Diet And Weight Loss

If you have ever thought about going on a raw food detox diet because you want to lose weight, then you are on the right track. Many people who have tried virtually every type of diet imaginable have turned to a raw food diet and been successful.

Raw Food Detox Diet And Weight Loss

 

If you are carrying additional weight that needs to be released, then a 100% raw food detox diet is almost sure to solve that problem for you. There is nothing special you need to do, except eating all your food raw.

“Releasing ” weight

I say ‘releasing’ the weight because that is what in fact happens. When you gain weight, you are giving your body more food than it can use, so the excess is stored as fat in the millions of cells in different parts of your body. When you start to eat in a healthier way, those cells start to release the fat back into the system and it is converted to energy that you can use.

The Amazing Power of a Raw Food Detox Diet & Green Smoothies Cures Diabetes

Sergio Boutenko was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes (Type 1) when he was 10 years old but amazingly he cured himself with green smoothies and a raw food detox diet.

Diabetes is a serious condition and his doctor was adamant that he should start insulin injections straight away. To cut a long story short  his very intuitive mother felt that it  was not the right thing to do and after a lot of research persuaded him to go on a raw food diet for 2 weeks.

Those 2 weeks were hard and difficult but in spite of some terrible cleansing reactions initially Sergio gradually started to feel and look better. After the first 2 weeks he decided to stay on 100 % raw foods for another 2 weeks. Amazingly his diabetic symptoms started to disappear, his blood sugar came down and he lost weight.

Watch his video recording here:

The whole family went raw overnight with him and they too had remarkable results. His sister’s asthma slowly disappeared, his mother’s heart problems began to improve and his father’s hyper-thyroid began to healing itself.

The Fresh Fruit Detox- So Easy & Delicious

Fresh Fruit DetoxThe fresh fruit detox or fruit fast is probably one of the tastiest and easiest detox diets that I have ever done.  Most people love fruit and there are so many different types of fruit you can eat it does not become monotonous.

Fruit is very nutritious. It’s full of vitamins, minerals, antioxidants, phytochemicals, and fiber so it is very good for you. Fruit is easy to digest and contains nutrients that you need to detox.  It always seems odd to me that the experts who tell us we should be eating at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day say that no more than 2 should be fruit.

Research has shown that eating 7 – 10 portions of fruit and vegetables a day helps people lose more weight than just cutting back on sugary and fatty foods. A high intake of fresh fruit and vegetables can reduce your risk of cancer of all types and lowers risk of heart disease. These two are the biggest killers of our times.

Time to Plan Your New Year Deep Detox Now

You might not be thinking too much about your health right now but it’s not too early to start making your plans for your detox next year. In fact detox has already been suggested as the thing to do during the weeks leading up to Christmas so you can eat, drink and make merry as you please! It’s being referred to as “Pre-Tox”. In effect, you detox with the idea of re-toxifying with all sorts of unhealthy food and alcohol! How crazy is that?

Pre-Tox is plain crazy

I am all for detox but the idea of going on a detox diet to lose some weight so you can pig out over the party season is just plain stupid. Anyone with any notion of health at all will realize that the the whole idea of a detox diet is to get rid of toxins to improve your health not to make it alright to eat a load of junk and avoid the weight gain.

Boost your immune system

If it’s Winter where you live then it’s not the time to be skipping meals and restricting calories. This is the time of the year to be trying to boost your immune system so you avoid catching those pesky cold and flu viruses. The extra stresses and strains increases dramatically at this time of the year.

Regular meals, a good breakfast, warming vegetable soups and lean meat stews, whole grains, plenty of fruit and vegetables and a few fresh nuts will give you the nutrients needed for good immunity. Don’t forget to add a little raw food too.

It’s vital to get plenty of sleep. The longer days of darkness mean that it’s natural to have more sleep .Late nights and stress will take their toll on your body. Too much alcohol, sugar or heavy meals before bedtime ruin a good night’s sleep.

Detox the alcohol
