Feeling sluggish? Struggling with digestive problems? Can’t seem to lose weight? Want to break free from your sugar and carb cravings? If so, it may be the perfect time for a 30 day detox challenge routine that supports your system. If the word cleanse makes you nervous, it shouldn’t.
Think of a cleanse as reducing the amount of toxins you consume and supporting the body's natural systems of elimination, circulation, and replenishing your body with wholesome foods. Remember: Cleanses are meant to be done for a brief period of time to reset the system, not as a lifestyle or extreme diet.
Our nutrition experts at Village Green Apothecary have created a gentle yet effective 1 month detox plan and body cleanse built around eating a fresh, whole foods diet and taking key supplements to help combat food cravings, aid in the removal of toxins, and support digestive health.
This 30-day detox cleanse program to lose weight and detox is designed to reboot your entire body. It will address your blood, bowel, kidneys, liver, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin.
Whole Body Detox Action Plan
It is time to break the cycle and reclaim your health! In this 30-day cleanse, you are to eliminate:
All forms of sugar, including natural sweeteners such as honey, molasses, agave, maple syrup, cane juice, artificial sweeteners, candy, chocolate, sodas, juices, sports drinks, sweetened teas and coffees
Alcohol
Dairy (milk, cheese, yogurt, etc.)
Flour products (cookies, cakes, crackers, pasta, bread, pretzels, etc.)
Fried foods
Processed foods
Foods that contain hydrogenated oils, preservatives, additives, colorings or dyes
Anything that comes in a box, package, or can (except wild tuna, wild salmon, sardines, and anchovies)
What to Eat
Clean, organic, hormone-free, grass-fed protein (eggs, chicken, wild fish, lamb, lean beef, etc.) should be eaten at every meal/snack and is key to balancing blood sugar and reducing cravings.
Unlimited organic, non-starchy vegetables. Choose organic fresh vegetables when possible, but organic frozen vegetables can be your second choice. Avoid canned, creamed or pickled vegetables. Enjoy your vegetables raw, steamed, sautéed, baked, or roasted. Examples include artichokes, asparagus, bean sprouts, bell or other peppers, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, celery, cucumber, eggplant, garlic, green beans, dark leafy greens, leeks, lettuce, mushrooms, okra, radishes, scallions, sea vegetables, snow peas, zucchini, yellow squash, spaghetti squash, and tomatoes.
Healthy fats can help with satiation, balance blood sugar and provide energy. Examples include unsalted nuts and seeds (almonds, walnuts, cashews, nut butters, ground or whole flax seeds, pumpkin seeds, sesame seeds, and sunflower seeds), extra virgin olive oil, olives, coconut, and avocados.
Fresh or frozen organic fruit. Avoid canned or dried. Good options include berries, apples, apricots, cherries, grapefruit, oranges, cantaloupe, pears, grapes, mangos, watermelon, peaches and plums. Limit yourself to 1-2 servings of fruit daily.
Beans and legumes. Eat a variety of beans and legumes if you tolerate them. Examples include garbanzo, lentils, lima beans, kidney beans, red beans, white beans, black beans, non-GMO soy (tempeh or miso), and split peas. Dried beans should be soaked overnight. Rinse the beans with fresh water before cooking.
Add spices. Cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves and cardamom can naturally sweeten your foods and reduce cravings.
Beneficial Detox Supplements
Most adults get far less than the recommended daily intake of 25-38 grams of fiber. Soluble fiber, the kind that attaches to waste and feeds the bacteria in our gut, is why 1 TBSP of ClearFiber daily is the foundation of this program. Take it with your 6-8 glasses of water a day to ensure it can do its job.
How to detox and cleanse your gut?
Ultra Cleansing System is a comprehensive AM/PM formula that supports detoxification and the removal of toxins. (2 capsules in the morning and 2 capsules in the evening)
ClearFiber is a soluble fiber that that supports digestion and the health of the gut microbiome. (1 TBSP daily)
S-Acetyl Glutathione is a unique form of glutathione, the body’s most important antioxidant. Glutathione supports detoxification and immune function. (2 capsules daily)
Before embarking on a cleanse or taking new supplements, please consult with a health care professional who can help you make the right choices for your individual needs.
S-Acetyl Glutathione is designed to hold up better through digestion so more reaches your cells, supporting your body's natural detoxification pathways. Soluble fiber matters here too. It binds to waste in the gut and feeds the microbiome, which is one reason ClearFiber sits at the center of this cleanse. Always run new supplements by a health care professional first.
One thing worth knowing about glutathione. The S-Acetyl form is designed to help it survive digestion so more reaches your cells, where it can support your body's natural detoxification pathways.
A quick word on fiber intake. Most adults fall short of the 25 to 38 grams a day recommended, and soluble fiber is the type that binds waste and feeds the gut microbiome. That is one reason ClearFiber sits at the center of this cleanse.
Whole Body Detox Tips
Eat regularly. Eat three meals and two snacks or five small meals a day. Eating every 3-4 hours promotes blood sugar balance. Be sure to incorporate protein, fat, and fiber with each meal and snack.
- Take a high-quality multivitamin and mineral supplement, vitamin D3, omega 3 fatty acids, and probiotics to support your overall nutrition during the cleanse.
- Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night. Poor sleep can contribute to poor food choices.
- Practice deep breathing exercises for 5 minutes a day to help to manage stress.
- Drink 6-8 (8oz) glasses of filtered water a day to support your body's natural elimination pathways. Herbal teas, including a smooth move tea detox for constipation, count toward water servings.
- Exercise at least 30 minutes per day
- Take a nightly detox bath containing 2 cups of Epsom salt and 10 drops of lavender oil.
- Reduce your toxin exposure. Opt for natural alternatives to chemical-based household cleaners and personal health care products.
- Minimize use of added salt. If desired, use small amounts of sea salt, Himalayan salt, or dulse flakes.
Smooth Move Tea for Constipation
A lot of folks ask us about Smooth Move tea for constipation during a cleanse. It's a senna-based herbal tea, and senna is a stimulant laxative your body is not meant to lean on daily. Use it occasionally if you're backed up, not as a nightly habit. For lasting regularity, soluble fiber and 6 to 8 glasses of water a day do more of the real work.
Supporting Your Liver Naturally
How to detox and cleanse your liver naturally?
Your liver is going to be doing most of the work while your body detoxes. And food is the starting point for that work. A diet that includes cruciferous veggies (think broccoli, cabbage, Brussels sprouts) lots of filtered water, and a soluble fiber like ClearFiber may help support the route your liver and digestive tract take in flushing things out. Avoid alcohol and processed foods for those full 30 days. That’s the single biggest thing you can do for your liver.
Frequently Asked Questions
How to do the detox diet?
Unlike a 4 day body cleanse, 14 day detox cleanse, or one week cleanse diet, ours, the top one month detox for weight loss, lasts a total of 30 days. The rules are simple: No sugar, flour, dairy, alcohol, fried foods or processed foods. You eat clean protein, non-starchy veggies, healthy fats, and a little fruit for every meal. Eat every three to four hours to keep your blood sugar stable and curb cravings. Before beginning, consult with a health care provider who can advise you on a customized plan.
How to full body detox?
A full body detox works by lowering what comes in and supporting the channels that clear things out, which include your blood, bowel, kidneys, liver, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin. That means whole foods on your plate, plenty of filtered water (6 to 8 glasses a day), regular movement to promote elimination through sweat, and good sleep. Targeted supplements like ClearFiber and S-Acetyl Glutathione may help support digestion and detoxification along the way. At Village Green Apothecary, our nutrition experts can help you put the pieces together in a way that fits your needs. For those wanting more structure, a 30 day cleansing diet is often considered a way to apply these same principles over a set period.
Where can I buy sonne 7 detox?
Sonne No. 7 is a bentonite clay cleanser, which some use for intestinal cleansing. We do not carry this at Village Green, but it may be found in health food stores or from the manufacturer’s website. We’d love to chat with you about your desires to cleanse and help guide you toward more gentle, whole-food-based methods of supporting your body’s detoxification.
What Does Yogi Detox Tea Do?
Yogi tea liver detox is a common search term. Yogi’s herbal blend includes burdock, dandelion and juniper berry, which are thought to be supportive of liver and kidney function. The detox tea yogi ingredients aren’t going to detoxify you on their own. They’re just warm liquid to add to your day without caffeine, and herbal teas count as water in this cleanse. Drink it, but let your food and water do the work.
How does detox cleanse work?
A cleanse involves eating whole foods, drinking enough filtered water, moving your body regularly, and getting adequate sleep. Your body already has systems for removing toxins; cleansing simply reduces the amount of toxins you ingest and supports the organs and channels responsible for elimination, circulation, and nourishment, which are blood, bowels, kidneys, liver, lungs, lymphatic system, and skin. Targeted supplements like ClearFiber and S-Acetyl Glutathione may help support digestion and detoxification. Before beginning, please consult your health care provider.
