"The detox diet program, which focuses primarily on steamed vegetables with some additional fruit and grains, allows a smooth transition with minimal withdrawal. It works to increase alkalinity and reduce acidity, which supports natural detoxification. Cravings and withdrawal intensify with an acid state generated by meats, milk products, and refined flours and sugars. A general diet that emphasizes fruits and vegetables, juices and soups, or even water can be used temporarily, as these are all alkaline-forming." - Elson M.

 "Rather, the symptoms result from a sudden massive exposure to plant toxins, which your liver enzymes can't process fast enough. The detox diet is actually a toxin diet. How do I know this? I treat numerous individuals who are about to undergo or have had stomach bypass/stapling surgery. They may rapidly lose 100 to 150 pounds, with their shrinking fat cells releasing enormous amounts of heavy metal "toxins" into their bloodstream, but I have yet to see a single one develop "detox" symptoms."- Dr. Steven R.

 "Natalia Rose explains that she actually eats more calories on a 95% raw diet than when she weighed 30 pounds more because what she eats exits the body quickly and is not stored as waste or fat (The Raw Food detox diet, p. 88).
Pleasure from eating on a raw diet increases, but the addictive aspect is gone. While one experiences more eating pleasure, it is balanced; there is less attachment to it than with cooked food.
Sexual pleasure seems to work in the same fashion: while it may also become much more intense on a raw food diet, it is paradoxically less addictive and more balanced."- Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) "Nutritionist Natalia Rose, author of The Raw Food detox diet, profoundly praises the raw food diet as being the key to permanent weight loss. It's a lifestyle in which a woman can even attain her perfect shape without formal exercise or counting calories or grams of fat or carbohydrates and regardless of having had several children. The skin tone improves as cells become healthier and tighter. One dares to go out without make-up. Tonya Zavasta describes her lifelong obsession with attaining beauty, which she finally discovered in her 40s through a 100% raw food diet." - Susan E.

 "Ideally, your detox diet and lifestyle minimize your exposure to toxins. It is kind of like stopping for a few days to do filing and tidy up your office so you can work in a clean, organized and more efficient space. Your body is the same. It is hard for your body to fight off disease when most of its energy is spent trying to handle a backlog of toxins from your food and environment. Detoxing gives your body a chance to clean out the build-up of toxins, giving you more energy to spend on more important processes in your body."- Allison Tannis, Probiotic Rescue: How You can use Probiotics to Fight Cholesterol, Cancer, Superbugs, Digestive Complaints and More (Get the book.) |

THE ENDOCRINE SYSTEM
One word encapsulates what the endocrine system is about: hormones.

"As will be highlighted in the detox diet, foods that help optimize natural detox physiology include: broccoli, cauliflower, garlic, onions, egg, and most vegetables; high-fiber legumes and grains; and high-quality probiotics. As our chief cleansing organ, the liver dismantles or transforms both inner and outer substances so that they can be safely eliminated from the body. This is achieved through a two-step process called phase I and phase II liver detox." - Brenda Watson and Leonard Smith, The Detox Strategy: Vibrant Health in 5 Easy Steps (Get the book.)

| "A condition of severe autointoxication could result as the toxins cycle through the bloodstream (The Raw Food detox diet, p. 46). These symptoms could become too uncomfortable for some people to tolerate.
Frankly, my strong suggestion for relatively healthy people would be to go 100% raw because that is the surest way for cooked food temptations to disappear. It is also the fastest way to rid the body of toxins accumulated over a lifetime. Once you eat cooked food, your body stops eliminating old debris in order to work on the incoming arrival of the new toxins." - Susan E. Schenck, The Live Food Factor: The Comprehensive Guide to the Ultimate Diet for Body, Mind, Spirit & Planet (Get the book.) |
 "The New detox diet, agrees. "Any sugar overload can lead to anger, emotional outbursts, and overall moodiness. But when people get off sugar, their moods and energy levels are more even keeled, and their relationships improve."
Meanwhile, Dr. Nancy Appleton, author of Lick the Sugar Habit, points out that not all sugar junkies respond with anger.
"Sugar upsets your body chemistry and negatively affects all your hormones, but every person reacts differently to it," she says. "Some people don't experience mood shifts at all, but they develop physical problems instead."- Connie Bennett, C.H.H.C. with Stephen T.

 "His new detox diet can help you completely eliminate these toxic, addictive substances such as sugars, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, and nicotine from your daily diet.

 "I did a detox diet for three months. The effects only lasted for a month or two and then I was back to square one.
I read your book at the beginning of October this year and it has changed my life.
I have not been on any medication since then, have not been to any doctors since then, have not had dairy, only a little bit of whole wheat bread now and again. I have boundless energy, go to the gym regularly, and work much better, as I am not so tired. And the real cherry on top is that I am no longer constantly dieting to control my weight."- Mary-Ann Shearer, Perfect Health the Natural Way (Get the book.) |
| "Think before you fast
If you're considering a quick detox diet, you may reconsider when you learn what happens to your body when you fast.
• The dramatic weight you lose at first is just water.
• Soon you're burning fat - but also muscle.
• Substances like ketones collect in your body and your mineral levels drop. Among other things, this could cause severe heart problems.
• Your metabolism slows - you burn less fat - and other body processes slow or stop completely.
When you stop fasting, it's likely you will gain weight back quickly - and most of it will come back as fat and water." - The Editors of FC&A, Unleash the Inner Healing Power of Foods (Get the book.) |
