One of the most important aspects of the recipe plan is the Elimination Diet, which involves the process of excluding certain food types from one’s daily meals. Below is a detailed explanation of what the Elimination Diet entails, as well as a number of practical tips that would help people in successfully completing this phase of the program. ![]() A green smoothie cleanse can help break the cycle of bad habits (too much added sugar, processed foods, etc.) and get you back on track with eating healthy, whole. ![]() ![]() Preparing the Body for a Cleanse.

Many people assume that all types of fruits and vegetables are good to eat since they are healthy and filled with nutrients. However, for purposes of a detox diet, there are certain fruits and vegetables that need to be excluded from the list and others that need to be included. They are as follows: Include Avoid. Avocados. Oranges. Seaweed. Bananas. Unsweetened whole fruits. Grapefruit or Pomelo. Olives (all types)Strawberries. All types of wild Berries. Grapes. Tomatoes. Peppers. Potatoes. Eggplants. Rhubarb. Animal Protein. Since protein is a primary energy source, it is important to know which food items to stock up on while preparing for a cleanse. Include Avoid. Fresh water fishes (trout, salmon, halibut, tuna, mackerel, sardines, pike, and kippers)All types of shellfish (lobsters, prawns, clams, oysters, etc)Wild game (rabbit, venison, elk, bison, etc)Beef (including veal)Lamb. Pork (including bacon)Duckcanned/processed meats. Organically raised turkey. Raw meats and fishes (sushi, sashimi, etc)Chicken. Caviar. All kinds of sausages and cold cuts/cured meat. Carbohydrates. Keeping up one’s strength is very important during the preparation phase of the program so it is highly recommended to consume as much protein as possible while cutting back on carbohydrates. Include. Avoid. Purified or distilled water. Alcohol. Freshly squeezed fruit juices. Coffee. Coconut water. Caffeinated teas. Green Juice. Soda and all carbonated drinks. Wheat grass juice. Fruit juices (unless freshly squeezed)Vegetable- Based Protein Sources. In addition to meat, vegetables also make for an excellent source of protein. When shopping for the week’s meals, be sure to skip these items: Include. Avoid. Anything that includes soybean (soy sauce, soy bean oil, etc) N/ASplit peas. Lentils. Legumes. Blue- green algae. Spirulina. Nuts. These make for an excellent snack. However, it is best to exclude peanuts as well as peanut butter from the list. Peanuts are not in fact nuts, but legumes. It is in the list of excluded food items because it causes allergic reactions and is a common culprit of digestive distress. Instead, take your pick from any of these other types of nuts: Include. Avoid. Almonds. Peanuts. Walnuts. Pecans. Cashews. Hazelnuts. Pistachios. Macadamia. Sweeteners. Preparing one’s body for detoxing does not mean having to renounce sweets altogether.

Sweet N’ Low. Agave Nectar. Corn syrup. All other synthetic or artificial sweeteners. Note that these sweeteners might be a tad difficult to find in the market so it would be wise to stock up on one or two of these items a few weeks prior to delving into the cleanse. What Ingredients Can I Use for the Shakes? The Clean Shake is a very important item in this entire process, which means it has to be something that is not only edible but enjoyable as well. Here is a list of fruits and other natural additives for your Clean Shake: Include. Avocados (pitted)Almonds. Ripe Mangoes. Coconut meat. Coconut flakes. Cacao powder. Cashew Nuts. Vanilla. Pistachios. Stevia. Spinach. Flax Oil (for better digestion)Blueberries. Coconut water. Keep in mind that not all shake recipes call for a sweet finish. However, adding the items above will make the shake smoother and more appealing to the palate. Most of the nutrients are already provided for in the pre- packaged shake powder. However, it is always good to have something fresh added to the shake just to keep the taste buds interested. Tips and Tricks. Buying Groceries and Fresh Produce. Since the program involves 2. Apart from the fresh produce, which should only be bought a day or two in advance, you can pick up the list of ingredients from the recipe book and the elimination diet guide. Keeping Snacks Handy. Once you have entered the elimination phase, experiencing hunger pangs can become a common occurrence so it is necessary to keep healthy snacks on hand. Most of the things listed on the included items (things to replace the excluded food items) such as nuts and fruits would make for healthy and filling snacks. The elimination diet prepares the body well for the coming challenges of the Clean Program.

JJ Smith has done a wonderful job creating this detox plan. It has truly been one of the the most effective detoxes I’ve ever been on. I love how it’s just 1. I do wish there were more snack options and options to either do a smoothie or salad. If you don’t like whole fruit smoothies then you’re out of luck with this one. I LOVE smoothies but I did get sick of this towards the end. I found myself craving different textures besides the smoothie and approved snacks. I’d definitely do this detox again in the future.
