I’ve been on it for 5 days now. Also i end up eating a lot more food at night, i sthat bad or does it not matter?

Is the only way to detox without surgery is to diet? Does this really give you great energy and is it healthy?

No NO No way.
Proper detox is done with herbal tea and not eating junk. Never go to a doctor for such things. If you detox, you may get itchy skin – like on your back ans the toxins make their way out of your body to the surface. Talk to a naturopath, go to a health food store and ask. Note that some tea should only be used for one week, then stop, and resume after a week. If done with a professional naturopath, you will get better results (more energy included) by letting him/her work with your body’s needs to find the true cause of any problems.

Ovarain cancer? please help :(?

I went to the doctor last year after having one of the worst pains i have ever felt in pelvis area and they told me that i probably had an ovarian cyst rupture.

It’s not cancer, but due to a release of hormones, especially estrogen from the ovarian cyst(s) – there may be more. Stress is involved, since you asked. Take a multi-vitamin per day, but not the women’s formula, you are already in a state of hormonal adjustment, and have an age-related chemical imbalance trying to sort itself out.

Raw Food Detox Diet * Natural Healing from Friedreich’s Ataxia ❤

Health books: “So Stressed,” “The Mayo Clinic Diet,” “What Do I Eat Now?” and “Revive”
The holidays are over and those New Year’s resolutions include eating right and losing at least 10 pounds. Now you’ve got to do it. But how? There are plenty of new books on the market that want to help. Here are just a few.
Robin Quivers on CBS Sunday Morning (Diet Detox)

Is it safe to take multi-vitamins, diet pills, and detox tea while on Lexapro, the medication?

I currently take acti-vit (a combination of diet pill for metabolism/energy to work out and vitamins) as well as The Republic of Tea :Be well red teas ( GET CLEAN: herb tea for detoxing), which help me lose weight, energy to work out, and help me clean my system when I eat too much. However, I just got prescribed Lexapro to help with my depression and anxiety. So is it safe to take Lexapro while I’m on vitamins, diet pills, and detox tea or should I stop?

Just from personal experience… I would NEVER mix anything like diet pills with the Lexapro.

I take a antidepressant as well, and I thought about diet pills and asked my doctor and everything. They Ok’d it, but in all reality I could feel the difference from the diet pills b/c my antidepressant was somehow being affected.

But if your worried ask the pharmacist. They can help, or run it by your doctor.

My advice is, vitamins are OK. anything else I wouldn’t risk it ever again.

Good luck.

What kind of detox symptoms did you go through when becoming vegan?

I have recently switched from a vegetarian diet to a vegan diet. I’ve read online that detox symptoms vary from person to person, and that usually people that were vegetarian before the switch had less symptoms. I woke up this morning with a sore throat, ear aches, and three pimples [I usually don't have any]. I will keep going with the diet no matter what, but I’m just wondering what kind of detox people went through when going vegan!

You probably have a throat infection :) That will cause a sore throat and earache. It would be best to get that checked out.

The pimples might be related to your recent diet shift though.

When I went vegan I lost all my spare weight and gained a lot of energy. My asthma cleared up ( I had been told all along to avoid dairy because of it). I started working out a TON to get rid of the excess energy.

Is there such thing is a Tomato Soup Detox diet?

My cousin who is a personal trainer suggested that i do this “Detox Diet” prior to starting workout sessions with him. He says that i need to eat Tomato Soup for four days, so that my body will be cleansed and i will lose some weight prior to working out with him. How valid is this? Does anyone have any opinions?

Detox diets are basically bogus. Your body has its own detox system, liver and kidneys. If you stop putting junk into your system the body will cleanse itself. The best thing about this one is that you aren’t required to buy some miracle product at 1000% markup, and it isn’t going to harm you.

Of course you’ll lose weight if you eat nothing but tomato soup for 4 days.
Not many calories and lots of water.

And find out what qualifies your cousin as a “personal trainer”. Is he certified by the state? Has he completed accredited courses?

What Has Helped you Switch to a RAW diet for your dog?

I asked a question earlier about what to feed and am considering a raw diet.
I’m scared about the period of detox, also about not feeding the right porportions of organ meat, bones, possibly grains, fruits/veggies. What books/websites have good info on switching? Also if you know anything in particular to advise me on. I’m afraid if I don’t do it right, my dog could end up sick, or die.

Skip the grains and the veggies dogs have no need for them. the basic proportion is 80/10/10 muscle bone organ. Half of the organ 10% should be liver. Mind you this is just to start every dog is different so need more bone some need more organ or meat etc. Start reading Join the raw feeding groups tons of people to speak with.

anyone done this?

I haven’t tried this one, but I did try one that involved a lot of Apple Juice. I did that one for 2 1/2 days and then ended up in the hospital with an enlarged gallbladder that hurt like an appedicitis. After that experiment I spoke with some people who recommended CleanseSmart. These are pills and there are several types of programs available, from total cleanse to targeted cleanse. I found it worked well.

The reason why I ask is I just finished doing it and had great results and wondered if anyone else did. I’m on a low carb diet and I lost a bit of weight but never could feel it in my clothes but after 5 days on the detox I finally can feel a weight loss, plus I’ve felt so vibrant and refreshed.

Is it safe to fast or detox when pregnant?

I am not pregnant, but I have a friend who is wanting to do the master cleanser diet by Stanley Burroughs’. The diet for a cleansing of the body is consistent of maple syrup, pepper powder and fresh lemon juice.. and distilled water. Any experts on the safety of this while pregnant.. any nurses have any advice I can share?

It is not safe because when you detox you loose vital nutrients that your baby needs to be her/his healthiest.You should not fast either,that should be a no brainier.It’s not like you have to eat like a pig though you only need about 300 extra calories a day.I am pregnant for the second time and it’s my contention that I can take 9 months of my life to make sure that my baby is healthy for the rest of his.I worried about being thin after my first was born and was a size 3 in no time.

Weight Loss Diet Meals

Starting a raw foods diet is a good way to start a healty diet and lose some weight and the same. It’s like satisfying two major goals in one straighttforward action.

Raw Food and Weight Loss

One of the biggest desires in America or the world for that matter is to lose weight. But for some reason for many people it is very difficult to lose weight no matter what they try. Well one of the main reasons this is likely to be is that they are eating the wrong foods. These foods may include processed foods, soda, starchy foods, high meats and greasy foods to name a few. What do all of these foods have in common?

They are not raw fruits or a vegetable, that’s what. Many raw fruits and vegetables have great fat burning properties that will have you losing the weight you want in no time. So if you want to lose some weight, try replacing some of the aforementioned food items with some raw foods.

Some of the best raw foods you can eat are obviously fruits and vegetables, but there are others such as seeds, nuts, grains, beans and sprouts. If you are trying to lose weight fast, you will want to know about some of the raw foods that have the best fat and calorie burning properties. For fruits, these include apples, grapefruits, mangos, pears, peaches, lemons and cherries. These vegetables are great for a midmorning or mid afternoon snack to stave off those hunger attacks. For vegetables, artichokes, brussel sprout, cauliflower, broccoli, celery, cucumber, red pepper, mushrooms and cabbage are all great foods to help promote fat and calorie burning. As far as herbs, garlic and parsley leaf are great additions to your raw foods to add additional flavor. One great meal that I have discovered is cabbage salad also often times called Chinese chicken salad. This salad is made primarily of cabbage, nuts and other vegetables and spices. The key to losing weight on a raw food diet is to find meals and snacks that you enjoy and will eat often.

The best part about a raw food diet is that you know you are putting very healthy foods into your body and as a result are shedding the pounds quicker than you ever did before. For even better results, working out at least 20 minutes every day or every couple days will help you shed the pounds even faster. While on a raw food diet you will also want to drink lots of liquids, namely water. You can also drink one hundred percent natural fruit juice as long as you know it is not processed. Odwalla is a great juice company that sells juices natural juices that you may want to check out. You may also want to consider using a juicer for squeezing out some delicious concoctions. One of my favorite fat burning concoctions is apple, carrot and orange. Juice these three delicious raw foods together and it is almost good enough to drink as a dessert.

If you decide to try a raw food diet to help your weight loss, the best thing to do is to do your research and then figure out what kind of foods and meals you would enjoy the most. Once you have a plan laid out, just have fun with it and don’t be afraid to get a little creative with your raw foods. Before you know it you will be shedding those pounds easier than you ever thought possible.

Organic breakfast is linseeds, spirulina, chlorella, 2 apples, a few almonds.

If you’re going to do a true “detox”, stick to raw fruits and veggies or fresh fruit juices. Eating packaged, processed foods like ricecakes will do nothing for you and will not aid in the detoxing process.

Cleanse Your System At Home Detox Diet

Has anyone got an estimate at how much Id lose on the Master Cleanse or Lemon Detox Diet, when a normal weight?

Ive seen 3-5kg in 10 days for overweight people, but my BMI is 21, and my BMR is around 1300 calories. Does anyone have experience or even an estimate at how much Id lose (in any given timespan)?

You will get diarrhoea, upset your electrolytes, lose water weight and damage the delicate flora in your gut.
If your body is starved it will not use fat but muscle – which can include your heart which is mostly muscle.
How much would depend on the water in your tissues.

2-3 Day Detox At Home Diet..?

What is a good 2-3 day detox diet?
what ingredients should i use? (that are easy to get at grocery store)
and one that actually tastes decent?
how would i go about doing a detox diet?
i eat very healthy, i just want to clean out my system and drop a few unwanted pounds.
I normally exercise 3-4 days a week.
how would a detox plan work? should i not exercise as hard as i do on that 2-3 day span?
advice please =)

Go to your nearest health food store. They should have a supplement department. In that department should be someone like me, who can ask you all kinds of questions about what you’re eating, and what your health is like. Then they can recommend the product that’s best for you, and tell you about any stuff you may experience. Usually, a 2 or 3 day detox just makes you pee a lot, but the longer cleanses can put you into a healing crisis.

The Master Cleanse aka The Lemonade Diet: Shopping List And How To Make It

How can I lose some extra pounds in a week?

Yes, I already exercise daily. But my weight has been stagnant at 7 pounds overweight. I am trying to do it for a life insurance examination. I am already on a low-calorie diet. I was thinking I can do a detox meal plan for a week, but I don’t know where or what I should eat. Is there something that will get the extra fecal matter out of your gut? Like an enema or diuretic?

I know your dilemma because I have been there too. Its very frustrating when you are doing all the right things and nothing happens!

You could try to change the activities you do to burn calories – or just up the intensity, for example, walk fast to the end of one block, jog slowly to the end of the next block, walk the next one, jog the following one etc…it will ‘shock’ your body into having to deal with the new routine.

What you eat is harder, because if you drop too many calories your body will know it and begin to conserve energy which you DONT want!

You want your body to be a furnace! I would try to do something different – eat 5 smaller meals or decide whether eating a bigger breakfast works better for you or if you prefer to ‘fill up’ at night with a large serving of vegetables and some protein.

I find I can eat a smaller breakfast but I am hungry at lunchtime. I try to keep my blood sugar nice and even by eating fruit or a handful of nuts or lowfat yoghurt for a snack.

Dont eat after 7 pm…that always seems to get me to lose weight – even if I dont do anything else! True!

Try to fill up on lots of water and drinks like green tea or sugar free drinks.

Good luck!

The Beginning Steps to Living Independently Healthy

"Living Independently Healthy", an obvious play on the term Independently Wealthy…but nevertheless, a concept worthy of promoting here online and everywhere else. The health benefits of an all raw foods detox diet are becoming well known as good news tends to travel. The first impression to those centered in convention may be that it sounds a bit odd. This is why we need raw food reviews to get the word out.

Leave it to the leading proponents of raw foodism for simple descriptions that tend to be almost too sensible and somewhat irrefutable when closely considered. Here are some sensible thinking points paraphrased from the noted author and raw foodist, David Wolfe.

Your food choices to a large degree determine your overall well being. Total and complete nourishment is manifested in every aspect of your individual alignment with your highest levels of expression and potential.

Ideally, a diet of "natural organic foods" should be consumed raw. Much research and pure common sense easily demonstrates that living raw food is superior to processed and cooked foods in every way.

Raw living food is the natural delivery system for vitamins, enzymes, co-enzymes, proteins, minerals, glyco-nutrients, and other vital nutritional elements in a natural state. It is difficult to argue, and increasingly impossible to present a valid opposing point of view.

A Raw Living Food Diet is without question "natural", and therefore is the way nature has intended to provide us with life sustaining food.

Culturally, modern society has tried better living through chemistry, The advent of 19th century Allopathic medicine, and the age of petroleum-chemical-based vitamins and minerals has allegedly left generations poisoned in many ways.

Notwithstanding the marvels and advancements of modern Western medicine, new genetically engineered and chemically altered foods, junk foods, convenience foods, and snack foods have ultimately left us as a society full of new chronic diseases, and morbid obesity.

Take pause and simply think about how food and food resources have been altered in just the last 30-40 years. Now is the time to take personal action, and consider reaching back to original raw food resources. You really are what you eat! Seize the moment, and start on a path now to enjoy every aspect of your gift of life by learning about the "benefits of a raw food diet".

Here we will investigate Five Components of Living Raw that will come to the forefront of this website for exploration. It all has to do with cleansing and total detoxification for truly Living Independently Healthy. The five pillars are a Raw Living Diet, Clean Alkaline Water, Aerobic Exercise, Colon Cleansing, and Deep Breathing Oxygen Detoxification. The road to How to Live Independently Healthy is a road less traveled. Preventative health is not the norm, as we live in a knee-jerk world accustomed to reactionary cures to symptoms as they occur.

1. Raw Living Diet

A plant based living raw diet of mostly fresh fruits and vegetables contains digestive enzymes that aid the digestive process. This leaves your body’s own enzymes to regulate metabolic processes. Nearly everyone understands that heating (cooking) foods above 104 to 120 degrees Fahrenheit degrades or destroys important enzymes, minerals, and vitamins. Eating food without enzymes makes digestion difficult and makes no sense. Cooked and processed foods can result in toxicity to the body, and may be the cause of obesity and chronic diseases. Digestive enzymes are a limited resource in your body. Eating cooked foods depletes enzymes and food value.

Natural raw living foods contain beneficial bacteria and other micro-organisms that promote a balanced immune system, aids digestion and a healthy digestive system.  Raw-deit foods are higher in nutrients over any cooked foods. Other well known culprits are processed foods. Foods with chemicals, preservatives, additives, and flavor enhancers are really not food, let alone a food substitute. We have been led to believe that all micro organisms are bad. Just as there are useful antibiotics, our bodies actually harbor and need probiotics to function properly.

Wild foods and organic food is more nutritious and more delicious than domesticated and industrially modified foods. Cooked foods and commercially processed food can actually contain harmful toxins and chronic disease causing agents. The opioid peptides found in cooked foods, are what cause cravings and are believed to be the cause of food addictions. A raw deit has an alkalizing effect on your body and promotes a naturally higher pH level. Most disease thrives in a acid environment. Get your body alkaline with a RawDiet and you will be healthier.

2. Clean Alkaline Water

A fresh alkaline water supply is very important to optimal health. Unfortunately most municipal tap water, and commercial bottled water ends up testing acidic. Excess acidity is a condition that weakens all body systems. Excess acidity forces your body to leach important minerals like calcium, sodium, potassium and magnesium from vital organs. An acid diet results in an acid body. You should have high pH in drinking water, or a source for high pH bottled water.

An acid body can suffer severe and prolonged corrosion. Unchecked, this condition may go undetected for years. Bad and poor quality water will make you sick. Clean alkaline water and proper hydration will make you healthy.

Acidosis can lead to serious problems with vital organs like the liver, heart, and kidneys. You need to avoid acidosis. Acidosis is an extended time in an acid pH state. An acid body is considered a factor in rheumatoid arthritis, diabetes, lupus, tuberculosis, osteoporosis, high blood pressure and most cancers.

One preventative measure is the addition of clean alkaline water to compliment an alkalizing diet. Water is the chemistry of life and accounts fro 70-90% of all organic matter. Just like an alkaline diet, clean high pH water aka "alkaline water" will bring your body chemistry back in balance.

3. Aerobic Exercise

Aerobic exercise definition is exercising that involves or improves the oxygen consumption of the body. Aerobic literally means "with oxygen". This refers to aerobic exercise activities that use lots of oxygen in the energy generating process, or metabolism. The key is to increase your heart rate for extended periods, not exercising as an attempt to build muscle mass (anaerobic exercise is weight or resistance training). In this instance, we are concerned with mostly with aerobic vs anaerobic exercise.

Many people will ask what is the "best aerobic exercise". Fortunately there are many types and levels of aerobic exercise. For the purpose of living raw, we will claim the definition of exercise regularly performed at moderate levels of intensity for increasingly extended periods of time. Additionally, for best results, an aerobic exercise regimen involves a warming up period, which is then followed by at least 20 minutes of moderate to intense exercise that involves large muscle groups. This is then followed by a cooling down period at the end of the exercise period. This type of exercise you should do 3 or 4 times a week, but will be things you can look forward to and enjoy like, walking, hiking, jogging, rowing, and swimming. You will find that most aerobic exercise does not require special aerobic exercise equipment.

Your body is a complex machine combing an infinite and continuous number of electrical, biochemical, and physiological processes. Just like any good machine it needs to be in motion and be maintained to work properly. Your body wants to be stretched, trained, and tested. A sedentary lifestyle is an early death sentence. Move it or lose it.

4. Benefits of Colon Cleansing

The pros and cons of colon cleansing are widely debatable. The "benefits of colon cleanse" is presented here in a matter of fact way for you to review, consider, and decide for yourself. As the body’s waste system, the ability to cleanse the colon would seemingly equate to a healthy colon, and therefore essential to good health. People often get sidetracked with the notion of a 7 day colon cleanse, or whatever constitutes the current at hone colon cleanse, parasite cleansing, and detoxing of the bowels. Just consider that nearly everything you eat ends up in your bowels. It would be an obvious possibility that toxins and parasites might like such an environment, and ultimately be a contributing factor for various diseases, such as obesity, constipation, and a myriad of other unhealthy conditions.

There are many colon cleansing products being promoted in the marketplace. The truth be known, there are many aspects of cleanse the colon naturally that can be accomplished using common and easy to find natural ingredients.

The benefits of colon cleanse does not have to involve colonics, enemas, and harsh laxatives or pseudo-medical procedures. A raw food diet high in fiber, along with adequate amounts of clean alkaline water to flush your system will go far in creating a healthy sustainable plumbing system. Juicing and occasional fasting are also beneficial considerations for maintaining a healthy digestive system and clean colon.

5. Deep Breathing Oxygen Detoxification

Deep Breathing Exercises are one of the most effective ways to cleanse and detoxify. When is the last time you actually thought about breathing? Yet breathing is the only bodily function that is both voluntary and involuntary. You can easily learn to use oxygen to achieve whole body detoxification.

Free oxygen is the oxygen in the air, and the form of oxygen that we need for normal respiration and metabolism. You can increase the amount oxygen throughout your body by practicing deep breathing exercises. One of the "benefits of deep breathing" (practiced deep breathing) is providing much needed oxygen to all areas of your body.

Deep Breathing is life giving, and can also be considered breathing relaxation therapy. This can be done along with an exercise routine, or just about anywhere you have a quiet moment to yourself. A deep breathing exercise should be part of every raw foodist’s daily regimen. Breathe deep and live longer.

Conclusion

You could easily bookmark this article, come back and review the "5 Pillars of a Raw Food Diet", and have the tools to create some simple actionable items for improving your health, and leave it at that. The Raw Foodist Guide suggests, however, that you come back and continue to investigate each of the Five Pillars of Raw Foodism as we expand on each of the individual topics of a Raw Living Diet, Clean Alkaline Water, Aerobic Exercise, Colon Cleansing, and Deep Breathing Oxygen Detoxification.
