Here's how my detox is going, which, I repeat, is not a diet and far from counting calories. The goal isn't to lose weight either, but rather to achieve the wonderful feeling of being comfortable in our bodies to make everything easier, to accomplish and to shine.
1-On an empty stomach: lemon juice (tonic or homemade) then essential fibers
2-Shake (smoothie or, Complete + Collagen + MCT oil, or Protein + MCT oil) if you are hungry, eat!
3-Gourmet salad (10-12-14 sprouts/vegetables/herbs/varied with avocado, seeds, nuts and whatever you want!) to start lunch and dinner
4-The Friend at bedtime, if needed.
No more rocket science! Let me explain:
1- I start my day with a shot of yellow juice (lemon, turmeric and ginger roots, pineapple), because lemon:
*The fibers contained in essential fibers can also have a nice effect on cellulite, the reduction of premenstrual symptoms, an impact on cholesterol and ingested sugars!
- Dissolves fats - Facilitates digestion, cleanses the body and accelerates the elimination of toxins by stimulating the production of bile (according to Florence Foucaut, member of the French Association of Dieticians and Nutritionists)
- Drains the kidneys
- Strengthens the immune system (excellent antiseptic, antibiotic and antiviral according to Thomas Kassab, pharmacist)
- Alkalizing, rich in antioxidants and vitamin C
- Its flavonoids have anti-inflammatory properties (Passeportsanté).
- Its vitamins give the skin a super boost of radiance. Quite a kick!
2- Shakes!
- The Complete (our greens with spirulina, sunflower sprouts, etc.) is approved by Health Canada as a source of antioxidants - I combine it with collagen and MCT, it's great as a youth drink, sugar-free. The monk fruit that gives the sweet taste has no effect on insulin. Whether I'm at the gym or not, before my lunch, I take Collagen Citrus and Complete in water. Wow! My joints and skin were craving this fabulous collagen and this amazing spirulina as much for weight loss as for the muscle mass it sees benefit.
3- We start our lunch and dinner meals with a gourmet salad (8 to 14 shoots and vegetables), garnished with seeds, nuts, herbs, spices, avocado... I often stick to this salad, my boyfriend adds parmesan cheese, organic chicken occasionally, eggs, and in the evening, he can continue with the boys' meal; the idea is to start with this salad (my teenager tells me not to give him too much because he's not hungry anymore... ? that's the point!!). Variety is important to find diversity in amino acids.
Welcome to cheats, again, these habits to add do not represent a diet.
4-At bedtime, only if necessary , I take a capsule of Ami . The cascara sagrada ** included in Ami is not a fiber but rather a bark that acts on the intestinal muscle. 3
Dr. Jensen also mentioned that when increasing fiber in our diet, "In the early stages, you may need to use laxatives to help move the high-fiber supplements." Laxatives can be used wisely in some cases, but it should always be a temporary solution. 2
Please note that fiber in the morning as well as salad to start meals will keep the Friend away, which we will only take again as needed. **Regarding Cascara Sagrada : this bark makes the difference at the beginning of a dietary change: even if we take fiber, the elimination work can be difficult, insufficient. The peristaltic movement activated by Cascara makes the difference. When I started with superfoods, it was the combination of fiber and cascara that helped eliminate bloating, to regain a flat stomach (then, for thousands of people). Today, I can take it 1 to 2 times a month, for example, when I eat less well: it makes the difference! For me, it is a very healthy, natural solution as if we were getting extra help in "muscle" to do extra work. The feeling is wonderful, without inconvenience. The additional movement allows for additional elimination work. Always with this warning to avoid regular use because even Cascara can cause intestinal laziness.
Here's the express counter to prepare your meal box with superfoods and everything you want inside.
After reading the scientific documentation 4 on this ingredient, I am reassured, it is not a laxative like the others. It is only necessary to keep in mind, once again, that the continuous use is harmful.
AND the superfood sets to find yours, they are all on special or with a gift:
- Basic Duo (Essential Fiber & Friend) for a Flat Stomach
- Complete Duo and Citrus Collagen (in a bag) with free shaker (my go-to drink for skin, for muscles while being a source of fabulous antioxidants that gives me energy and tastes so good, sugar-free)
- Complete superfood set you then have the two duos above plus the Chocolate Protein Mix (sugar free)
- Lightness Combo Green tea extract with Vitalcâlin, digestive enzymes.
If you can, my choice to start with is strongly: the complete set with 2 salad bulks and 2 yellow juices .
Then the Lightness Combo and possibly, if necessary, the supplements that you will find in a set with a discount applied:
- Gandusha or oil pulling (mouthwash)
- Infrared sauna
- My great ally for body skin, the dry brush . And my brush! Before showering, without water, I indulge in dry brushing to eliminate dead skin and also, to activate circulation, feel invigorated and find my skin always new, soft. Video demo, here!
- Cold bath to turn white fat into brown
- I move in the morning, I post my workouts for inspiration here.
- Drinking a green juice before our meals, a fountain of youth!
- Add a teaspoon of chlorophyll (made from alfalfa, not mulberry, which is obtained using a solvent from the excrement of silkworms, mostly from China) to your water bottle and drink it all day long (a small, continuous fountain of youth).
If you suffer from inflammation of the intestinal tract, you can add aloe juice (our juice is fresh and pure and not made from rehydrated powders) to your morning Essential Fiber drink; I also had a 1/2-1/2 made, that is, 1/2 cherry juice and 1/2 aloe juice so that you only have one bottle of liquid and one action to do. Not to mention our various and delicious juices offered in our bistros:
- Tonic Yellow (Lemon juice, cold-pressed turmeric juice, ginger juice, cayenne pepper powder - Organic)
- The Shield (Freshly cold-pressed and raw oranges to retain 87% to 100% of active ingredients & nutrients)
- Green Juice (Cucumber juice, celery, apple juice, ginger juice, lemon, kale juice, spinach juice)
- Red Juice, Alkaline (Beetroot, Apple Juice, Carrot, Ginger Juice, Parsley, Cold Pressed Turmeric Juice, Lemon, Cayenne Pepper Powder - Organic)
- Beta (Organic Tomatoes, Organic Sea Buckthorn, Organic Carrots, Organic Grapefruit, Organic Apple, Organic Lemon, Organic Ginger)
To complement your new habits, here are some items from MJ's grocery store and why I chose them:
- Fermented brown rice protein because it's more digestible and assimilable and I can add them, because they have no flavor, for a rich protein boost to my muffin preparation for Jo or to a vegetarian chili like Melanie cooked for me the other day or to smoothies, your idea!
- Avocado oil , because it is rich, whole, colorful; I use it as much in my preparations (muffins always with the idea of having bites that make sense as opposed to the "undernourished" found today), also for cooking.
-
TCM oil , for energy, we talk about it here! The approval for TCM oil (which I added to the Complete set) allows these claims:
- Provides medium-chain fatty acids that support energy production in the body.
- Use with a meal plan (...) to help with weight management (one reason to support this claim: good fats suppress hunger!)
- Damari for my salad dressings (fermented = interesting).
- Chaga in decoction for its properties, to warm and replace coffee (I still drink it, but less!)
- Jiagoluan is also fascinating and rare, to be taken as an infusion .
- Green Tea Extract , here is a testimonial received from MJ Chicoutimi: " Hello, A lady testified that a few years ago she decided to change her bad eating habits. Over the past 4 years she has lost a lot of weight but could not lose her last few extra pounds. She said she succeeded with Essential Fibers and Green Tea Extract. To maintain her weight, she continues to take her fibers with Green Tea Extract."
- Vitalcâlin , we talked about it here and here, digestive enzymes for those who need them, very interesting, they can change your life.
- Black seed oil and black seed , every day.
- Seeds for an invigorating winter garden in your home, on your plate.
And there you have it!! I'll do all this live on our Facebook page. Please note: I can't address illnesses, it's the law!
