This blog is part two of my two part Detox blog series.

• Part 1: The 10 Foods/Drinks That Bloat You and Why
• Part 2: (this blog) The Why, How and What of Detoxing and your 3 simple steps to detox

Well no worries, you can easily and safely drop all that excess bloat in the next 7 days, as well as give your body a much needed oil change. The concept of detoxing is all around us and most detoxes do provide quick results, but the problem is after detoxing you end up going right back to what you were doing, never truly evolving your plan into a way of life. Detoxes that starve you by fasting or load you up on juice will always end up failing the moment they’re over.

Imagine detoxing while eating consistently throughout the day, losing all the bloat and then immediately shifting your body into a fat burning machine. That is the type of detox we can all get behind and is exactly why I’m writing this blog and why I created my 8 week program. Every plan you take on must be with your eye’s wide open, so to let’s dive in with your 3 must knows when detoxing.

Here’s the first one:

1) The Importance of Detoxing

In a nutshell, detoxes are designed to deliver maximum results and explode you out of the gate. You see, most of us are living at an inflated weight, a weight that is made up of at least five to ten pounds of additional bloat (water retention). Think back to a time when you ate better, drank more water, and engaged in some exercise . . . most likely you dropped a few pounds really quickly. That quick weight loss is part of the excess bloat your body holds from living a busy and hectic life. Lack of sleep, daily stress, processed foods, and not drinking enough water are all contributors to holding that extra bloat.

Detoxes and cleanses are so popular because of the inflated weight most of us have. The challenge with most detoxes and cleanses is that they’re designed as a diet and short-term fix to a long-term problem. Losing your inflated weight isn’t your challenge; I’m assuming you’ve lost that first ten pounds many times in your dieting history. Most people have. The real challenge is how to detox and cleanse effectively while evolving into a plan you can actually make a way of life. Without that evolution, all the weight you lose will just come back a month or two after the detox.

2) The Benefits of Detoxing

Detoxing is truly all about cleaning out your system. Imagine getting an oil change for your car but only adding new oil and still using your old, dirty, and used-up oil filter. As fresh and high quality as that new oil is, it will still be processed through that old filter. This means your car’s engine is still getting a lot of grime and grit from the old filter and losing the benefit of the new oil so it won’t run as well as it could be running. This concept parallels perfectly with your body. Eating cleaner without detoxing is just like getting an oil change without changing your filter. It only solves part of the problem, so to maximize the cleaner foods you’re eating, you also need to clean up your body’s filters by removing all the gunk, which will get your metabolism running like a well-oiled machine!

As you detox, you’ll also be losing excess bloat. Bloating slows down the speed of your metabolism, inflates your weight, and makes your clothes feel a size too small. The average weight loss during the Detox phase (week 1) is 7-10 lbs and is based on 3 simple steps – Cut, Clean, Flush.

3) Your 3 Easy-To-Follow Steps of Detoxing


You just cut the foods that bloat you, add clean foods and supplements to cleanse, and flush the toxins with good old H2O (water).
