Pre-Detox Diet

For best results, before joining our detox program practice the following Pre-Detox Program for two weeks. This will both alkalize you and prepare your body for a deeper cleansing.

• For optimum results in the pre-cleansing phase, eat no meat, dairy products, salt, sugar or foods with added sugar. Honey, organic maple syrup, stevia and date sugar sweeteners are acceptable. Get into the habit of reading labels - this will help you know what you are actually consuming.
• Eat no fried food, or foods cooked in oils. Use as little oil as possible. When you do use oil, use cold-pressed organic olive oil, or flax seed oil. Note: Flax seed oil is very sensitive to going rancid. It is better to never cook with or to heat flax seed oil. Keep in the refrigerator and use quickly.
• Eat as many raw fruits and vegetables as your body can handle (80% raw and 20% cooked is a good guideline for most people). If your digestion is very weak, you may need to eat some steamed or baked vegetables.
• Drink at least 1 raw, organic fruit or vegetable juice a day while pre cleansing; you may drink as much as you like.
• Drink water as often as possible, but not with a meal. Water is a critical addition to the cleansing process. On a hot day it is best to drink about 6% of your body weight (i.e. 70 kg body weight, drink 4.2 liters of water). On a cool day drink half of this. This only applies to water and does not include other drinks such as tea, coffee or fruit juice.
• Limit snacks to fruits, vegetable juices, and mineral broths made from vegetables.

If you follow these suggestions, your body will be better prepared for cleansing in a gradual way. This will lessen the chance that you will be sluggish, or have headaches and nausea during your cleanse.
