Yes, me too! Surprised? I was too. After seeing so many of my patients experiencing these positive side effects, I decided to try it myself. One month later, I concluded that I was going to take out most of these foods for good because I was feeling so fantastic. Try this detox for at least 10 to 14 days and I have a feeling you’ll want to continue some portion of it permanently. Why do this before the holidays? Turns out that food allergy researchers may be on to something in the diet world. In non-allergic patients, these foods may be irritating the gut, thus causing inflammation, which triggers our body to release inflammation “soothing” hormones. These hormones also store away calories. The overall inflammation in the body is also likely the source of the bloating, acne, brain fog etc. So why not try eliminating potential these food triggers? If it helps at the end of two weeks, just add one food back each week to see which foods you may consider eliminating permanently from your diet. The downside: You may see no results at all or may want to extend it for a week. If nothing else, you’ll probably eat more vegetables and fruit than you ever have in your life! Now, let’s get down to the details: Foods to Avoid: What can you eat? Try eating predominantly vegetables, with a rice or sweet potato side. Fruit or seeds can be snacks. Vegans will find it hard to avoid nuts and soy, but hemp seeds, chia seeds and oils are a good substitute. While you should limit the sugar intake, it’s not absolutely banned. Lastly, you should not be hungry on this detox! A typical day may look like this: A cutting-edge nutrition deep dive taught by 20+ top health & wellness experts
