Colon Cleanse Diet

Interested in doing a colon cleanse by doing a colon cleanse diet? There are many methods to clean the colon out and a colon cleanse diet is a great natural way to do it. It definitely is not the fastest method available but it has it's own benefits. The good thing about it it will help you take a step back and evaluate your eating habits, you will start to understand the difference between what your body "needs" and what your body is just craving.

A colon cleanse diet is not something you need to stick with permanently. This is good new, considering this diet is kind of tough! Instead it lasts anywhere from 7-30 days. Obviously the longer you stay on the diet, the better results you will achieve.

To start, i will list the foods that you are NOT aloud to eat.

-pasteurized dairy

-processed meat

-processed oil

-seafood

-refined sugar

-caffeine

-alcohol

-soda

-products containing flour (examples: bread, pasta etc.)

Try not to let this long list discourage you! It is absolutely necessary to avoid these foods because they will slow down the digestive system and reduce the effectiveness of the diet.

Now we get to talk about what SHOULD be eating. You will mostly be living off of fruits and vegetables during this time and other high fiber foods. The fiber acts like a broom and sweeps up all the toxins from your colon and pushes them out of your body through your bowel movements.

Your daily intake of fiber should be around 35-50 grams a day.

For even better results, also eat fermented foods like sauerkraut, miso, and yogurt.

This diet is tough i know, but don't be discouraged it is not for everyone. There are other effective methods to doing a colon cleanse, this diet is just one of many.
