Detox please!



Recommended Posts

I am looking for some good detox recipes out there. Soups. smoothies. I'd like to stay as organic as possible withe recipes.

I am still losing steadily, however, incorporating certain goods back into my like has awakened the sleeping dragon and I'd like to focus on lulling her back to sleep.< /p>

I think several days of dedicated detoxing in a healthy nutrient rich way would be best.

In addition to kickstarting a detox regimine, I would like to cut back, and ultimately eliminate, caffeine. I've stocked up on my decaff green tea.

I don't know what you mean exactly by detox. I make all of my own Soups using natural ingredients such as Soup bones, freshly chopped veggies, herbs grown in my yard, soaked and then boiled Beans, barley, and so on. I just make different soups out of what I have with no set recipes. I will sometimes use a recipe for something like french onion or cream of carrot, but otherwise I just add a ton of fresh veggies to whatever base I want, add herbs and spices, then eat.

I will have to admit that I have never had a smoothie. :o

recipes that will safely inspire elimination. Flush out the system.

I've read it can help get one through sugar/carb withdrawal.

Hey Amanda, Oh She Glows (vegan lifestyle blog) has a few detox smoothie/juice recipes. I can't figure out how to put a link in here from the mobile app, but the one I have in mind was posted on 9/3 (if you go to the "Popular" tab it should pop up on the first page so you don't have to scroll through). She sources a book in her post, "Healing Foods," that may have some good ideas too? Let me know if you try it!

Are you going to be juicing? Or a combo of things?

I've got a list of various detox Soup recipes that are designed to get things moving and help one get past the carb/sugar withdrawal.

Many complain during the Protein shake phase of gagging on shakes but it was so much easier to make good decisions when we had no options!!! Lol

Yes how's it going today?

So far, so good. I made a large pot of the WW cabbage/veggie Soup and portioned it out. I have my fresh fruits and veggies packed.

I found an Asian inspired WW veggie Soup I plan to make and portion out. I'm hoping this will help break the easy carb/slider behavior that was creeping back into my life.

It is not a problem yet, but it can/will be if I don't nip it in the bud now.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
