When on a detox it can be confronting as to what foods to eat and what foods to avoid, so I have compiled a list to help you out when shopping for your detox foods.
Always keep in mind that anything that is packaged is generally a no go while on a detox.
Raw fruit and vegies are the staple on a detox. You can eat anything and as much as you like.
Grains are another important food to eat while on a detox: include grains such as: brown rice, oats, quinoa, amaranth, millet, buckwheat (you can get pastas that are made from these grains).
Nuts & seeds are a great snacking option when on a detox diet. Include the following: Raw almonds, raw cashews, pumpkin seeds, flaxseeds, sunflowers seeds and walnuts.
Protein is important in maintaining complete nutrition on a detox diet, you need to make sure you consume enough and the right kind of protein. Try free-range eggs, salmon, chickpeas, and tofu.
It is best to stay away from bread while you a detoxing, but if you must have a sandwich, you must use wheat free & yeast free bread. This also goes for cereals. Look for wheat free, fruit free cereal with no added sugar: “The Liver Cleansing Muesli” or “The Fibre Cleanse Muesli” would be ideal.
Drinking choices are important on a detox. No dairy must be drunk at all while detoxing and definitely no coffee or alcohol! The only drinks you can consume are water (and plenty of it), herbal teas and almond or soy milk.
