Raw Food Cleanse

Posted by Nur Lela Monday, November 29, 2010 ,

Raw Food Cleanse is written by Penni Shelton, director of the blog Give It To Me Raw and Real Food Tulsa. This book is designed to help readers discover the benefits of a raw food diet and to put them on the path to reclaiming optimal health.

While Raw Food Cleanse is based on introducing readers to a raw food diet, Shelton says that setting yourself a goal of eating 80% whole, fresh, raw, ripe, organic foods will give you amazing results.

In the beginning of Raw Food Cleanse readers answer a series of questions regarding eating habits, physical health and lifestyle factors. This will help you to understand the things that may be contributing to your weight and health challenges. Based on your answers to the life cleanse questionnaire and your personal needs for cleansing and weight loss you then can select from several different dietary plans.

3-Day Energy Boost Cleanse

Shelton suggests that everyone begins with the 3-day cleanse because this gives you the opportunity to discover how your body responds to the cleansing process. Some people experience detoxification symptoms such as headaches, nausea, and fatigue while others report none at all.

This Raw Food Cleanse is based on raw juices, green smoothies, salads and low-glycemic fruits.

7-Day Rejuvenation Cleanse

This longer Raw Food Cleanse is recommended if you are recovering from a lifetime of poor diet and lifestyle choices, or toxic environmental exposures. It gives your body systems a chance to rest, restore and rejuvenate.

This is very similar to the 3-day cleanse but with a little more variety for food choices.

14-Day Deep Detox Raw Food Cleanse

This cleanse is appropriate when you have a bit more weight to lose and if you have already been successful with a shorter cleanse. It promotes a deeper detox, renewed energy and increased fat loss.

The first seven days are liquids only and the remainder of Raw Food Cleanse is a diet with a very high proportion of raw foods.

28-Day Total Body Reset Cleanse

The longest Raw Food Cleanse is advised for those with more serious health issues and the most weight to lose.

You will follow a liquid diet for the first 10-14 days consisting of fresh juices, smoothies and raw soups. This is followed by a diet based on a variety of raw foods.
