DETOX DIET
by © Diana Thurbon
4 WEEK RAW FOOD DIET FOR CHRONIC FATIGUE AND FIBROMYALGIA
OR JUST TO FEEL GREAT
SPRING IS A GOOD TIME TO DO THIS
BREAKFAST (Acid Fruit)
Fresh fruit only of oranges, kiwi's, pineapple, apple, plums, grapefruit or any other acid fruits. You can mix the fruits.
Eat enough to satisfy your hunger. Just one orange and one apple will not be enough. You have to get your calories from the fruit you eat. If not enough add a small serve organic plain yoghurt or a few fresh nuts
LUNCH (Fruit with dried fruit)
Eat heartily of grapes, pears, bananas, mangoes, fresh dates, and with this meal eat some green leaves, 1-2 sticks of celery and a handful of dried raisins or sultanas, or 3-4 dried figs or 10-12 dried apricots or prunes.
SNACK (Juice)
4 p.m. Have a large 12 oz glass of freshly squeezed carrot juice. If you are desperate for a sweet – eat a fresh date
EVENING (Raw salad with nuts and seeds)
A large Rainbow salad of vegetables such as grated red cabbage, grated carrots, grated beetroot, chopped up celery, watercress, cucumber, and red or green peppers.
A dressing could be made as follows:
Put 2-3 tomatoes in the blender, 1 whole peeled large size avocado and a pinch of Herbamere powder and 1 tea spoonful cold pressed flax oil or extra virgin olive oil.
Blend the lot and pour it on your Rainbow salad and mix thoroughly. Enjoy it with some lettuce leaves.
To this salad you add ½ cup of nuts and seeds. Not salted nuts and not peanuts. You can use Brazil, Cashew, Almonds, Sunflower seeds, Sesame seeds, Pumpkin seeds. Whatever you fancy.
Chew well or grind the nuts dry and sprinkle on the Rainbow salad or put ground nuts in a blender, add just a little water and make it into nut cream.
On such a regime -- if you have not cheated in between -- at the end of that month you will feel cleaner, fitter, a little slimmer and more energetic with the added bonus of many symptoms other than fatigue disappearing.
No cooked food should be eaten.
There is no need to restrict activity on this diet.
Exercise is beneficial, try for 30 minutes brisk walking every day.
Saunas and or Epsom salts baths also help.
The body, given the opportunity will rebuild itself.
Detoxing herbs will help this diet along.
Tea and coffee must be excluded but herb tea without sugar can be taken freely.
Although now we are told green tea is so good for us – let’s call it herb tea and have that too.
