10-DAY GREEN SMOOTHIE CLEANSE: Proven Recipes To Lose Up To 15 Pounds (2016)
Chapter 3. How To Do The 10-Day Cleansing
The 10-day green smoothie cleanse is as easy as 1-2-3. However, before starting the cleansing program, here are prerequisites to do:
· The person should inform his primary health care provider of his intention to do the detoxification. This way, one is assured that no current or future medical interventions would be affected with the program. It is also safe to conduct a routine checkup before the detoxification so that baseline information will be available if needed.
· The person must know everything he can about this cleansing program. He cannot rely on hearsays alone. Just because this program worked for a friend does not mean that it would automatically work for him, too. He might have a medical condition that would not allow him to undergo such program.
· Only raw ingredients are to be used. Organic ingredients are preferred. There should also be rotation of the greens used to avoid accumulation of alkaloids.
Below is the step-by-step procedure on how to go about the 10-day green smoothie cleansing.
1. Choose which of the two types of cleansing program to use.
1. Full Cleanse– the person is instructed to take a total of 60 ounces of smoothies per day, divided into three meals. This means that all meals would be made of green smoothies only for 10 days.
2. Modified full cleanse– for those people who cannot tolerate the full cleanse program, there is the option to take only 2 green smoothies and one light meal (preferably during dinner time) per day for 10 days. The weight reduction may not be as dramatic as the full cleanse but one can still expect to lose from 5-10 pounds with modified full cleanse.
Take note that the dieter can switch from one type to the other according to his preference and ability.
2. Start gradual transition from regular diet to the 10-day green smoothie cleanse. How? On the first day of the program, the dieter can have one green smoothie only, preferably in the morning. Lunch and dinner should be light meals only. On the second day, he can have green smoothies during breakfast and lunch and a light meal at dinnertime. On the third day, he can start the full cleanse program as instructed above.
3. After completing the 10-day detoxification, the dieter has to observe gradual resumption of eating solid food. How? Once cannot just eat heavy, solid meals on the 11th day. That might make him nauseous and bloated. Instead, he should replace one green smoothie meal with a light meal. On the 12th day, he can proceed with the replacement of 2 smoothie meals with two light meals. On the 13th day, he can have 3 solid but light meals. On the 14th day, he can now go back to his previous meal.
Here are other important things to remember during and after the cleansing program.
· He must drink more than 8 glasses of water throughout the day. Herbal teas are encouraged, too.
· If he feels hungry in between meals, he may take the following as snacks:
o Apples
o Celery
o Cucumber
o Carrots
o High protein foods like boiled egg, unsweetened peanut butter and a handful of raw or unsalted nuts.
· The maximum cleansing time is 14 days. The ideal is 10 days. The dieter should not go beyond the allotted number of days. Being on a puree for a long time has several medical disadvantages too. If there is a need to do cleansing again, he can repeat this process after a month or 2 of regular diet.
The steps are simple and easy! Plus, this cleansing program is effective in achieving the dieter’s ideal body weight in just a couple of weeks.
