Cleansing

Starting now, for 2 weeks, I'm starting a new diet cleanse. 

I start the morning with a hot cup of water with half a lemon squeezed into it. After that I have the required breakfast smoothie....

 2 tbsp rice protein powder 
2 tbsp ground flaxseeds 
1/2 cup frozen berries 
1/2 banana
1 cup unsweetened vanilla almond milk

Green tea: Preferably organic
Protein: One 6-oz serving of meat (chicken, turkey or fish) per day 
Carbs: 1/2 cup of cooked brown rice a day (otherwise no carbs/starches)
Fats: Good fats in moderation (e.g. olive oil and avocado)
Dairy: 1 cup of 2% plain Greek yogurt per day (otherwise no dairy)
Vegetables: Unlimited low-glycemic vegetables and Detox Broth
Snacks: Hummus, pickles, a couple handfuls of nuts


What not to do!


• No wheat (except 1/2 cup brown rice)
• No artificial sweeteners (this includes all diet soda)
• No white sugar
• No alcohol
• No caffeine (only green tea)
• No dairy (except Greek yogurt)
• No additional exercise
• No meals between 8 p.m. to 8 a.m.


Other things to do...


• Take probiotic in the morning.
• Take a multivitamin (preferably 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 at night). 
• Take a detox bath every night (soak with 2 cups Epsom salt & 1 cup baking soda).

I got all my info from Dr.Oz. The idea of the cleanse was brought up by my mother. We thought since we were both trying to eat clean and become healthy this could jumpstart the process and help us out.
