Struggling with digestive problems? Can’t seem to lose weight? Want to break free from your sugar and carb cravings? If so, it may be the perfect time for a 30 day detox challenge routine that supports your system. If the word cleanse makes you nervous, it shouldn’t. Think of a cleanse as reducing the amount of toxins you consume and supporting the body's natural systems of elimination, circulation, and replenishing your body with wholesome foods. Remember: Cleanses are meant to be done for a brief period of time to reset the system, not as a lifestyle or extreme diet. Our nutrition experts at Village Green Apothecary have created a gentle yet effective 1 month detox plan and body cleanse built around eating a fresh, whole foods diet and taking key supplements to help combat food cravings, aid in the removal of toxins, and support digestive health. This 30-day detox cleanse program to lose weight and detox is designed to reboot your entire body. It will address your blood, bowel, kidneys, liver, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin. ## Whole Body Detox Action Plan It is time to break the cycle and reclaim your health! In this 30-day cleanse, you are to eliminate: - All forms of sugar, including natural sweeteners such as honey, molasses, agave, maple syrup, cane juice, artificial sweeteners, candy, chocolate, sodas, juices, sports drinks, sweetened teas and coffees - Alcohol - Dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.) - Flour products (cookies, cakes, crackers, pasta, bread, pretzels, etc.) - Fried foods - Processed foods - Foods that contain hydrogenated oils, preservatives, additives, colorings or dyes - Anything that comes in a box, package, or can (except wild tuna, wild salmon, sardines, and anchovies) ## What to Eat - **Clean, organic, hormone-free, grass-fed protein** (eggs, chicken, wild fish, lamb, lean beef, etc.) should be eaten at every meal/snack and is key to balancing blood sugar and reducing cravings. - **Unlimited organic, non-starchy vegetables**. Choose organic fresh vegetables when possible, but organic frozen vegetables can be your second choice. Avoid canned, creamed or pickled vegetables. Enjoy your vegetables raw, steamed, sautéed, baked, or roasted. Examples include artichokes, asparagus, bean sprouts, bell or other peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, eggplant, garlic, green beans, dark leafy greens, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, okra, radishes, scallions, sea vegetables, snow peas, zucchini, yellow squash, spaghetti squash, and tomatoes. - **Healthy fats** can help with satiation, balance blood sugar and provide energy. Examples include unsalted nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, cashews, nut butters, ground or whole flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds), extra virgin olive oil, olives, coconut, and avocados. - **Fresh or frozen organic fruit.** Avoid canned or dried. Good options include berries, apples, apricots, cherries, grapefruit, oranges, cantaloupe, pears, grapes, mangos, watermelon, peaches and plums. Limit yourself to 1-2 servings of fruit daily. - **Beans and legumes.** Eat a variety of beans and legumes if you tolerate them. Examples include garbanzo, lentils, lima beans, kidney beans, red beans, white beans, black beans, non-GMO soy (tempeh or miso), and split peas. Dried beans should be soaked overnight. Rinse the beans with fresh water before cooking. - **Add spices**. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cardamom can naturally sweeten your foods and reduce cravings. ## Beneficial Detox Supplements Most adults get far less than [the recommended daily intake of 25-38 grams of fiber](https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002471.htm "https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/002471.htm").
