Mend Your Diet

Detox Diet?

I'm looking for a 1 or 2 week detox diet. There seems to be many to choose from, and I have no idea what I should look for in a diet plan. What are things I should consider? Be aware of? Avoid? I'm not looking to loose weight, but instead flush out my body of toxins, etc. So I'm looking for something that isn't depriving me of all nutrients, but instead replenishing them in the process.

1. idk too much about detox diets, but i've heard of the master cleanser working pretty well (for more info, search google). it's kind of like a fast. anyway there's an option, it like totally cleans out your system.
2. Master Cleanse is popular and Oprah recommends it too. Ingredients: Water, Cayenne Pepper, Lemon juice, and grade B maple syrup. Look up exactly the amounts you will need. I only lasted 1 day but it is recommended for at least 1-2 weeks and up to 40 days. My friend did this for 2 weeks and swears by it. No eating only drinking.
3. Use ALMIGHTY CLEANSE for detoxing your colon. It's the most natural one on the market today. It takes a week to do and you can lose up to 5 lbs. during that week. As far as eating I recommend a chicken or fish diet with lots of veggies. There are lots of things out there to help suppress your hunger. I use "Power-Pops" with Hoodia. Which is a catus that grows in Africa. You can order them at www.vitamins-4-sale.com. That's where I get mine.
4. Try a nutritional cleanse -- Isagenix is the best one on the market. They make a 9 day cleanse, so that shoudl be perfect for your time frame. Here's a good video that explains the program: http://media01.isagenix.com/Corporate/WW/EN/microsite/cleansedforlife/cleansed_video.html Cleansing is great, and vital to your health, but you need to do it correctly. The purpose of a cleanse (especially if you are fighting a degenerative or chronic disease) is to detox your body AND give your body the nutrients it needs to regenerate clean, healthy cells. Most cleanses -- like the master cleanse -- do detox your body, but do nothing for restoring balance to your system. For example, your body is building about 1 billion new cells each day. If you cleanse without flooding your body with super-absorbable nutrients, your body has to create new cells out of whatever is left over in your system after you cleanse-- which is usually mineral, vitamin, protein and fat deficient. This is why Isagenix is do different, and so much better than anything else on the market. The Isagenix cleanses flush your entire system (colon included) of all the junk, while simultaneously flooding your cells with super nutrition. This way, when your body starts building new cells -- they are made out of the best "parts" available. This will help your body regenerate parts of your body that need help. Other benefits of this type of cleanse are: reducing unhealthy cravings, weight loss, better sleep, more energy, sharp intellect and clear skin. Of course, I am biased, and completely endorse the Isagenix product line :) Good luck!
