If the 24-hour juice cleanse is not an option with your lifestyle, a good alternative is a 7-day brown rice cleanse. It revolves around maintaining a rice dinner each day, with a variety of juices throughout the day. It is based on macrobiotic principles, meaning it is an effective way of dropping a few pounds quickly. Additionally, it is great at balancing the body by allowing it to remove toxins more effectively. It will make you feel more energetic, and allows you to be more flexible with the times you eat, so this is a good choice to fit into any lifestyle.
Like the 24-hour detoxification, this 7-day detoxification is relatively simple and straight-forward. Throughout the day, you simply have to drink 2-3 glasses of fresh vegetable juice; no solid food. You can pick and choose the vegetables you like most. Love Cycle definitely recommends beets as one of the best vegetables to juice regularly! You can also include 1TB of a superfood mixture into your juice. Again, moringa is a phenomenal superfood to consider!
For dinner each day, have steamed brown rice with a blend of mixed vegetables. Try to eat earlier than normal. This allows the food to be digested well enough before bed. You should strive to eat a cup of rice and several cups of vegetables. Let your body decide how much is enough, but be honest with yourself and don't let the openness of the detoxification be an excuse to gorge on however much you want. Also, it is very important not to add any butter or oil dressings. This detoxification is great at cleaning out the bowels, and fats act against this aim. For taste, choose any non-fat seasonings that you prefer.
That's it! Follow this diet for seven days to see results in weight loss, body definition, and changes in body chemistry. You will be able to notice the start of these changes almost immediately, but you will need the full seven days to set up an ongoing body balance. This change in the body can be an excellent starting point to making long-lasting changes to your diet. Use this opportunity to ease yourself into a healthy, ongoing diet: avoid binging on fats and sugars. This diet also helps reduce the cravings for fats and sugars, as it trains the body to crave the nutrients it needs, and not what it has been conditioned to desire.
