This cleansing plan is designed to be as easy, affordable and flexible as possible to suit your lifestyle and taste. It’s manageable for even the busiest of people. There’s no starvation and no rigid meal plans or complicated recipes. Simply choose from the suggested foods and mix and match to create your daily meals and snacks.
Fruit – Enjoy a variety of fruit including fresh frozen, dried or canned in natural fruit juice. But if you’re having sultanas, raisins, pineapple, mango or bananas, ensure it’s a small portion (half a banana, a tablespoon of dried fruit, cup of cubed pineapple or mango) as they’re high in sugar.
Vegetables Eat plenty! At least half your dinner plate should be vegetable based. It’s easier than you might think – add a side salad, make a large salad-based dinner, add a starter of a vegetable-based soup or choose main meals with a high proportion of vegetables, such as stir-fries. Vary your vegetable choices as much as possible – you can include fresh, frozen or canned (without added salt).
Beans and lentils Dried or canned in water (without added salt or sugar). Tofu, soya beans and organic eggs.
Unsalted nuts Eat no more than one small handful per day, because they’re calorific.
Lean meat Chicken, for example, can be eaten just two to three times a week. Focus more on vegetable-based meals.
Fresh fish Any, but limit seafood and tuna to a maximum of once a week to avoid toxins.
Unsalted seeds Up to one tablespoon per day. Brown rice and noodles, rice cakes, oats and oatcakes No other carbohydrates.
Live organic natural yoghurt, organic milk in small amounts, a thin spread of butter, a topping of goat’s cheese on salads or some Parmesan shavings; avoid cheese in general.
Flavour-boosters Extra virgin olive oil, balsamic vinegar, white wine vinegar, garlic, ginger, fresh herbs, ground black pepper and drizzles of honey or agave nectar. Water Drink at least two liters a day. Enjoy herbal or fruit teas. Drink fruit juice diluted like a cordial.
