Days five to six are probably the most demanding of the seven-day diet. Throughout days one to four, you still get a moderate amount of portions in your daily diet, from vegetables to proteins to starches. But from day five to six, you are going to be in an all-liquid detox with very little
You will be getting all of your
nutrition from power-packed fruit and vegetable juices with ingredients ranging
from pineapples and pears to celery and carrots. It’s the hardest part of the
diet to stick to but it is also the most rewarding. By giving your body the
vitamins, minerals, and dietary fibers that it needs in liquid form, you are
making them easier to absorb. The nutritional value in a glass of juice is also
so much higher than what you would get from the same food but in solid form.
Do
you know how many carrots you would have to eat to get the nutritional value
that one glass of pure carrot juice can give you? It will take about a dozen.
And the apples, asparagus, herbs, kale, and other fruits and vegetables that
you can add to your juice? You couldn’t possibly eat all that
in one sitting but you can easily drink
them for the same nutritional value in one glass. It’s a great way to introduce
much needed nutrients into your body while giving your detoxifying organs a
break.
