The Cheapest Way to Detox

What does it mean to detox anyway? It’s another word for cleansing the body. Cleansing the body of toxins we ingest. The body does an amazing job of doing this on its own. The problem is that we hinder that natural process by the things we consume daily.

Lets start with why people choose to detox:

1- Feeling of bloating & gut discomfort

2- Loose weight

3- Kick start a new diet

4- Heard it was a miracle cure

All valid reasons except maybe for #4. Detoxing the body is very beneficial. It is a super star at reducing bloating & gut discomfort. You will also notice weight loss due to less water retention & less inflammation.

There is no need for special teas, shakes or potions. The cheapest way to detox naturally is to STOP 🛑 ingesting toxins into your body. It will take effort & planning but the way you will feel will be well worth it.

Eliminate the following:

❌ Coffee

❌ All processed foods - if it comes in a package & it has a long list of ingredients it’s considered processed. No bacon or sausage.

❌ No grains - foods made from wheat, rice, oats, barley or cornmeal. Ex: bread, pasta, cereals, grits & tortillas

❌ Do not cook with vegetable oils. BIG No No! This includes EVOO. Use EVOO for salad dressing or marinating, not for cooking
