| - | Do-it-yourself detoxHow to stay on plan and what diet to choose? While detox is a great idea when it comes to keeping your body free of toxins, it is not something you should do to lose weight. Delicious Planet, an organic meal delivery service, offers the following tips if you are one of those do-it-yourself types: - Omit alcohol, smoking, caffeine, sugar, for one month.
- Omit the two main allergens that may be causing some distress – gluten (wheat, oats, barley) and dairy.
- Eat only fresh salads, soups, raw nuts and seeds, beans, lean fish and poultry and fruits and vegetables.

| | Tips to stay on plan Add other, non-food indulgences to your life, such as a massage or spa treatment. Rent wonderful movies to keep yourself happy and entertained. In doing so, you won’t miss the pizza, coffee, and other items that might be contributing to your ills in the first place. "You’ll finish the detox feeling better than ever and ready to keep the organic deliveries coming," according to Randi Carter, company founder and CEO.

Exercise. Sweat out impurities by at least walking 30 minutes a day.
Increase your fruit and vegetable intake. The fiber will help absorb toxins and take them out of your system quickly, fiber keeps blood sugar stable, keeps you feeling full, etc. The antioxidants in fresh, organic produce will keep your immune system strong. Think about a bowl of whole fruit on the dining room table to grab for breakfast or snacks and adding a green salad with sliced veggies every day.Switch to a high end vitamin supplement. You need high quality ingredients that your body can actually break down and absorb. Low end ingredients, the wrong packaging and chemical fillers, can prevent this from happening. You can find these at health food stores or from your health care provider. | | |
