The 7 Day Cleanse

01.21.2016 by Marnie Freeman, LAc. //

35404982_mSAMPLE DIET

A week of clean eating is a good way to recover from the holidays, and a great way to get back on track with a healthy diet. Please read about fasting before you begin. During this week do not eat or drink any gluten, dairy, coffee, black tea, or sugar.

A list of gluten free foods is at the end of this sample diet.

Tip: eat your big meal at lunch or dinner, depending on your schedule and preference. Be sure to have 12 hours of fasting before you eat breakfast. Your body needs a full 12 hours without food to spend its’ energy cleaning and detoxifying.
