A cleanse is a great way to get back on track with healthy eating.
A cleanse is a great way to get back on track with healthy eating after the holidays, or any time you find yourself regularly feeling lethargic, bloated, or unhealthy. There are many different types of cleanses, but they all have the same goal: to rid your body of all the sugar, fat, salt, and processed foods that are all-too-common in most people’s diets. You could try a juice cleanse, a soup cleanse, or just eat fruits and veggies for a few days, but you can cleanse and detoxify your body while eating regular meals. Our 14-Day New You Detox Challenge is a 14-day meal plan of meals made from whole, natural ingredients. Two weeks without refined sugar, refined flour, or processed foods can do wonders for your health.
Try stick to the recommended serving size for each meal, but if you’re still hungry, feel free to munch on fruit, veggies, or any of the listed snack options. If you’re exercising regularly, make sure you’re eating enough to give your body the energy and fuel it needs to burn fat effectively. Drink lots of water to make sure you stay hydrated and to further help your body detox. You can also drink seltzer and herbal or green tea, but avoid coffee, juice, alcohol, and soda. You might experience caffeine and sugar withdrawal symptoms at first, such as headaches or breakouts, but after a few days, you’ll feel better than you did before the cleanse. In fact, you’ll feel so good that, even when the cleanse is over, you’ll want to continue to take care of your body by feeding it natural, clean foods.
