The Liver Cleanse Diet – Foods to Eat and Foods to Avoid
By Septadi
A liver cleanse diet is especially beneficial for naturally cleansing excessive toxins, helping the liver to work in its optimal state. Furthermore, cleansing the liver can help improve immune function, alleviate allergies, and helps the body maintain a healthy weight. Anyone who wants to enhance the health of their liver can benefit from a liver cleansing diet, but it is important to know exactly what foods to eat and what foods to avoid for maximum results.
Below are the lists of acceptable foods to eat during the diet as well as the foods to stay away from.
The liver cleanse diet focuses on eating fresh and healthy whole foods and drinking plenty of water. Good foods to eat include:
Raw fruits and vegetables. Raw fruits and vegetables are high in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. You can also opt to juice your fruits and vegetables to easily increase the intake of the healthy foods.
- Foods with healthy oils. Omega+3 oils are ideal for liver cleansing and can be found in foods such as flaxseed, walnuts, and oily fish.
Since the focus of the diet should be on healthy whole foods, eating processed foods is out the window. Foods that you must absolutely avoid include:
Refined sugars. Avoid white, processed sugars. High fatty foods. Foods with preservatives, pesticides, and antibiotics. Eat organic whenever possible.
Alcohol.
Extra tips for a successful liver cleanse
- Avoid overeating. Eat small to moderate size meals throughout the day.
- Eat your largest meal at breakfast, and eat the lightest meal at dinner
- Get at least eight hours of sleep a night.
Maintaining a healthy liver is vital for good overall health. Cleansing by eating raw, healthy whole foods and avoiding fatty, processed foods can definitely do a liver good!
Is an Eat Every Other Day Diet a Good Idea?
Eat Every Other Day Diet
Will you lose weight only eating every other day? Fitness and nutrition author Jon Benson wrote about his eat every other day experience:
You cannot just “eat pizza” and shed the pounds…
Eat Only Every Other Day?
Yes, I did start to lose weight, but I was really hungry on my fast days and over ate on my feed days. In the end, an eat every other day diet just made my situation worse.
What about Eat+Stop+Eat?
I tried this also and had the same results as eating every other day. In fact eating every other day initially gave me better results and it didn’t cost me the $49 that the Eat+Stop+Eat ebook did. The Eat+Stop+Eat ebook is a great ebook. It is a great diet guide that my brother’s wife follows with wonderful results. The Eat Every Other Day Diet!
Jon Benson, whom we quoted earlier, actually developed his system for eating every other day into a diet guide named The Eat Every Other Day Diet or EODD for short. Jon took the idea of eating every other day and applied the concept of caloric cycling and consulted with nutrition experts and came up with a system.
How did the EODD system work form me?
Under this system you eat a lean protein diet punctuated with “feed days” where, if you’ll excuse the trem, you pig out. You never actually fast. It is funny how this system really worked for me. By using the EODD system I also could schedule my “feed days” to correspond with holiday eating, picnics and date nights with my wife.
Even though eating every other day didn’t work very well for me because I just didn’t have the will power to only eat every other day, it did lead me to a system of Caloric Cycling (EODD) that does work form me. I believe that losing weight is more of a matter of finding a system that works for you than it is of finding one system that works for everyone. The EODD Diet works for me but maybe the Eat+Stop+Eat system would work for you.
