Coming off detox
Coming Off Your Detox
You’ve finished your detox, now what? The type and length of program you completed will determine the best way to come off a detox without any major upsets to your system.
Basically if you have been doing a detox or cleanse that involves all liquids you want to slowly introduce solid food back into the body. You want to start out with your softer and juicier foods such as watermelon, cantaloupe, tomatoes without seeds, smoothies, or something similar for a couple of days, then move into foods that are little more bulkier like cucumber, sprouts, baby lettuces, for a couple days and then adding in other foods slowly.
If you’ve not been doing liquids but have eliminated food groups slowly add in a food group every couple of days. Look for any signs of discomfort such as headache, upset stomach, dizziness, swelling, muscle soreness, and fatigue that might occur. This could be an indication of sensitivity to a certain food. If this occurs, go back to eating more simply and then try again.
If you want to maintain the great work that you’ve done you want to try to not go back to the way you had been eating before and begin to make some lifestyle changes. This is something that we work with and discuss in my SAD2FAB program. It can be hard to do this but I will give you some basic tips.
