In the previous post, I talked about the 1 DAY strict vegetarian diet that you are supposed to undergo for that specific type of weight loss detoxification. And when I say strict, I meant no meats and starches allowed for that day. And with the mouth watering recipes I have disclosed in the previous posts, it is not as bad as you think considering that it is only for one day. Today I am going to touch briefly on the subject of liquid fasting that happens to be a very effective weight loss detox diet for faster results and is considered by many to be a very easy-going and sustainable detox for one day. I will give you some tips on how to do this effectively without starving yourself and leaving you energy deprived. This is the highest level of detoxification than the other levels of effective detoxification methods I revealed in the prior posts. And you cannot go any higher than that unless you take it further for one day more. The results you’ll see will be a nicer looking physique and acne free clearer skin than what you had before.
Although I mentioned in the previous posts that I have never in my life underwent a liquid fast detox diet. The reason why I say this is because I have a fast metabolism and the thought of drinking nothing but liquids alone would leave me incredibly hungry to the point where I will be weak. And right now you are wondering how can I give suggestions on a topic that I have no experience in? The answer is that I have used other detox participants (my friends) as guinea pigs for my experimentation and recommendations based on my extensive knowledge of Chinese herbal medicine (thanks to my dad being the herbalist) and my personal experience on many different kinds of detoxification routines involving food only and NOT liquids. Those same principles can be applied the same way to a liquid detox diet routine.
First I want to start off by saying that before you begin this detox fast, you must make sure to do this on a warm or hot day. This form of detox is so cleansing and cooling to the body that it can leave you feeling weak if done on a cold winter day when your body needs more calories than what it needs on a hot summer day. Contrary to what you may believe or have heard, your body burns more calories during a cold day than a hot day. That is why you have a tendency to be more hungry during the cold winter months than the summer ones. The calories you consume from certain types of foods provide you not only fuel but body warmth also.
I know what you are thinking. Am I going to fast on water all day? The answer to that question is no. And remember the purpose of my post is to show you how to make this detox experience painlessly sustainable for only one day drinking healthy juices that you love. And also I like to point out that the definition of a LIQUID FAST may mean to you any type of liquids like concentrated store bought juices (Ocean Spray…coffee, tea, or energy drinks like Rock Stars, Red Bull). Those types of liquids are completely off limits.
The only liquids you are allowed to drink are water, freshly squeezed fruit juices and vegetable soups (without the veggies). Remember today is strictly a liquid diet.
I know what you are thinking. How on earth am I going to buy freshly squeezed fruit juices? Remember in the previous posts, I mentioned a particular brand name called Odwalla. I would highly recommend the Odwalla Superfood that comes in a 64 ounce bottle. It contains a wide assortment of fruits (apple juice, peaches, mangos, strawberries, bananas, spirulina (1700mg), soy lecithin, open cell chlorella (335mg), royal jelly, wheat grass, barley grass, wheat sprouts, jerusalem artichoke, lemon bioflavanoid, nova scotia dulse.
And don’t let the ingredients barley grass and wheat grass scare you because most people think that it tastes nasty. But Odwalla has done a terrific job of putting the right blend of fruits to make the drink taste droolingly delicious.
Odwalla also carry other varieties that you can drink all day. And these are pure freshly squeezed juices that has some enzyme activity in it given the fact that their juices undergo a 5 second flash pasteurization procedure.
And in case you didn’t know, there are outdoor organic food markets that sell freshly squeezed juices in large bottles. I sometimes buy the freshly squeezed apple juice (Unpasteurized) there. And there are grocery stores sprouting all over the place where the employees will make you freshly squeezed orange juice on the spot right before your very own eyes. They have this machine that they feed with oranges like the way Jamba Juice employees feed carrots into a carrot juice machine. And the orange juice comes gushing out into a large bottle of your choice. You can’t ask for any thing better than that in terms of convenience and for those who dread the thought of buying a Jack LaLanne juicer which I have and never use myself. What a waste of money!!! It is still sitting in my kitchen cabinet gathering up dust. You can tell I favor convenience over hard work.
Let’s say for lunch you are craving some food which is a typical natural response. Then instead of drinking juice, you can go have some vegetable soup. But make sure you drink the liquids from the soup. There are a lot of vegetarian restaurants that serve soup. As a matter of fact, in the popular city of San Francisco ( California ) where I live, there is a restaurant called SOUP FREAKS that is not too far from San Francisco Chinatown, and I go there at least twice a week. That place is always crowded with, excuse the expression, soup freaks. LOL!!!! I happen to be one myself.
Again don’t worry too much about the ingredients. Soups by itself is very cleansing. And most vegetarian restaurants are pretty healthy. We don’t live in a perfect world. This is as close to perfect as you can get especially when you are “drinking out.” Noticed that I didn’t say “eating out.”
And dinner, you can have more soup if you want. Or freshly squeezed juices. You just made me realize as I am writing this post that I tend to use my Jack Lalanne juicer more frequently when I come home earlier before dinner. And there you go. When you are home, you are not in a hurry to leave anymore and ,therefore, you can use your juicer if you happen to have one.
Now you can see that this One Day Only weight loss detox diet is something you can tolerate given the variety of fluids that you can choose ranging from sweet (juices) to salty (soups). Just remember that when we are hungry we tend to crave something salty like soups. Just remember never over drink and under drink fluids. Drink to be satiated. Have as much as you desire.
And for those who are suffering from any kind of skin problems, I guarantee you that if you follow this exact liquid fast diet recipe for one day only, you will noticed much clearer skin than ever had before. Even those that already have beautiful skin will notice a much smoother resilient skin which the currently available skin care products cannot give you.
Due to the length of this post, I will continue where I left off today on today’s post. See you on the next post.
