7 - 10 day cleanse

I'm going to add a cleanse to the beginning of my 40 day plan, so that I can lose loads of weight in the process, and it'll be easier for me to lose weight during the 40 day plan :]


So, I will be consuming only juices. Mainly consisting of one or a combination of the following:

  • Carrot
  • Celery
  • Beet
  • Spinach
  • Apple
  • Coconut
  • Ginger
I'm also going to allow myself a vegetable broth for when I get reeeallyyyy hungry :] the recipe is as follows:

2 litres of water
2 large potatoes (peeled)
1 onion
3 carrots
4 garlic cloves
Chop all the vegetables and add to water. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes, then drain the vegetables. I like to add a little cayenne pepper but this is optional.

This is exactly why I'm doing the cleanse (it is recommended that the fast is done for 3-7 days, however, I may do it for 10 depending on how I'm feeling :])
  • You will feel fresher and more energetic, with a renewed sense of mental and physical vitality.
  • A cleaner liver metabolizes food faster, and sets up your body to lose weight in the long term!
  • It is a short, relatively simple and inexpensive diet.
  • Cleansing can help with alcohol, drug and nicotine addiction, by accelerating the detoxification process and shortening the length of withdrawal symptoms.
  • Cleansing is a great way to break bad eating habits and start all over again with a clean and natural diet.
