A body renewed!

So every now and again I like to give my body what I call "jump start" by going through a week (or more) natural detoxification. Generally, the foods I consume are no different than what I consume on a daily basis, except that I do not allow myself junk food (i.e. chips, cookies, etc.), chicken or fish. I do not consume red meat as a personal preference at all. So basically, my meals go like this: Breakfast- oatmeal, fruit, water; foods high in fiber as a rule of thumb=tons of veggies (spinach, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, green beans, baked yams, etc), fruit; Lunch= spinach salad topped with veggies( green peppers, red peppers, broccoli, red onions), with a oil based dressing; Dinner= usually just veggies (maybe a baked yam or sweet potato and a green veggie). I flush with tons of water and supplement flushing with drinking several cups of green tea a day. As gross as it may sound, your body reacts instantly by removing large amounts of waste from your body; prepare to frequent the bathroom. I usually go for a week, but sometimes I push it to two weeks as I can sustain on a predominately veggie diet because I love vegetables. You should be mindful however, that long periods without the consumption of protein can have deleterious effects on your body and you should be sure to check with your physician before deciding to engage in detoxification. I supplement with protein shakes if I exceed the one week period as I generally engage in alot of weight training exercises. Once I have completed detoxing, I add the chicken and fish (at which point I am usually craving fish) and carry on in my normal eating regimen. It is similar to "spring cleaning" in that sometimes you have to take inventory of what you have been collecting (eating) and clean house from all the things that is causing clutter and that you don't need.
