7 Days To Feeling Great And Losing Weight With A Detox Diet

The mouth and teeth, esophagus, stomach and small and large intestine comprise the gastrointestinal tract, or GI tract. Harmful toxins such as refined foods and sugar, excess fatty and rich foods, chemicals, pesticides, and the persistent use of alcohol or nicotine may stress and damage the GI tract. A one-week detox diet might restore the health of the gastrointestinal tract so that your body can effectively eliminate accumulated waste for weight loss. Speak with your primary physician before starting a detox program.

Rebalance

Rebalance your diet and lifestyle to contribute to the health of the digestive tract. Staying away from sugar, refined food, caffeine and alcohol can make a big difference. Substances such as sugar and refined foods add unwanted calories to your diet and cause weight gain. In "The Detox Diet," Dr. Elson Hass says eliminating these toxins supports better digestion, elimination and weight loss efforts.

Another lifestyle change includes learning to deal with stress and developing coping and relaxation skills to calm the gastrointestinal tract. Exercise regularly, meditate or engage in yoga for further benefits.

Remove

A detox diet encourages you to further remove any foods that cause allergic reactions or irritate your gastrointestinal system. Examples of irritating substances include cow's milk, eggs, wheat, rye, barley, oats, chocolate, coffee and peanuts. Any food that is consumed regularly or over-consumed such as fried or process foods should also be eliminated.

Replace

The typical diet supplies inadequate amounts of hydrochloric acid, digestive enzymes and fiber in the gastrointestinal tract. According to nutritional dietitian Michael Murray, hydrochloric acid insufficiency is common in people who experience indigestion, gas, bloating, flatulence and constipation. For digestive enzymes you will be eating organic plant and animal products such as dark leafy green vegetables, carrots, beets, celery, cucumber, lean beef and poultry. Fiber, both soluble and insoluble, can be added to the diet through fruits, vegetables, legumes, nuts and seeds.

Reinoculation

Reinoculation refers to the reintroduction of healthy bacteria, or flora into the gastrointestinal system. These bacteria, also called probiotics, include Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bifidobacteria bifidus. In "The Detox Diet," Haas says that if the gastrointestinal tract does not contain these probiotics you will experience a weakened immune system and abnormal digestion. If food is not being properly digested it will get stored in the body as fat cells and deter your weight loss goals. Healthy probiotics can be reintroduced through supplements that can be found at any health food store. Probiotics are available in powder form, capsules or tablets.

Repair

Your body may need additional nutritional support after detoxification. Some of the important nutrients for healing the gastrointestinal tract include pantothenic acid, zinc, vitamin C and E, beta-carotene, essential fatty acids and fiber. Foods that are low in calories for weight loss that provide these nutrients include oranges, grapefruits, melon, carrots, fish, whole grains and nuts in moderation. Herbs such as aloe vera, licorice root and senna leaf have a laxative effect to create bowel movements during your weight loss.

Lose Fat With Metabolic Cooking

Metabolic cooking is a fat loss recipe programme by Dave Ruel and Karine Losier, aka the “Musclecook & Lean Kitchen Queen”. The programme claims to help both males and females with losing body fat by turbo charging your metabolic rate. It’s actually a group of 9 cookbooks which lists 250 recipes which skyrocket your metabolism thus helping you lose weight.

Here is a quick list of the pros and cons of the program

Cons

 Nothing's perfect and here are the flaws I noticed in this diet plan:
  • As this is a collection of cookbooks so it might seem like a daunting task for someone who inexperienced when it comes to cuisine. It could take a novice a couple of days to get the hang of it.
  • Some of you who are expert fitness trainers might find this a bit too basic but you have to understand that this was written keeping in mind the average Joe who doesn’t know much about weight loss so it covers the basics and then moves onward.
  • There are over 200 recipes in there so it took me quite some time to sift through them all and decide which ones I would like the best – according to my taste of course.

Pros
  • Simplicity: This is their fault and the reason of their success. The simplicity of the book is outstanding. I didn’t get confused even once. It takes you by the hand and explains everything in detail. 
  • Cutting Down on Your Favorite Dishes: Probably the best thing about this system- You don’t have to let go of your favorite dishes. You can eat whatever you want; you just have to follow the guidelines of the book while making it; which by the way, for me improved the taste even more!
  • Limitless Weight Loss: The amount of weight loss depends on you and you alone. You can lose 5 pounds or 50 pounds. Your choice.
  • Economic Factor: This system proved very economical for me. The ingredients in the dishes are pretty cheap and easily available everywhere.
  • Metabolic Nutri-Profile: This is a unique profiling system that designs from scratch a nutritional profile which varies for every person. This is what it looks like:
  • Guarantee: Though I don’t see why this system wouldn’t work for you. But if for some reason you are not satisfied they will refund you every cent no questions asked!
