(The major foods you’ll eat and not eat on the Clean Detox.) 

Last week I attended a taping of the Dr. Oz show where a friend who has successfully completed the “Clean Detox” with impressive results spoke about her experience. While I was backstage I spoke with the CEO of The Clean Program and met Dr. Junger, author of the book ‘Clean’. Not only was I motivated by these passionate revolutionaries but I became so inspired by the 40 and 50 year old women who were mindfully changing their lives with this program. One woman actually said “I wish I knew about this 25 years ago” which made me realize that I could potentially avoid serious future health issues if I begin using this system to keep my body healthy.  

Step one in restoring the “body’s natural ability to heal itself” is the 30 day detox diet which includes a shake for breakfast, a meal for lunch and a light meal for dinner. One of the two caveats mentioned was to leave a 12 hour window between dinner and breakfast to allow “deep cleaning” after the digestive process ends. Additionally the diet guidelines discussed the difference between emotional eating and hunger. 

“When faced with the sensation of “hunger” during your detox, consider the possibility that it might not be true hunger. In our Western culture, what we call hunger is often the physical manifestation of an emotion that is asking to be “numbed” or comforted.” 

I really love this detox diet because it properly educates dieters and provides them with simple recipes and meal plans. The one thing I’d change would be to eliminate the fifth bullet point under that “don’t eat” list above. The thought of giving up red wine for a month is scary (but I’m sure I can do it)!

Happy Detoxing!
