Taking the Easy 3-Day Detox to the Next Level: Phase 2 ..70 Taking the Easy 3-Day Detox to the Next Level: Phase 3 73 Stick It to the Man Level 76
Gases from vehicles, your favorite air fresheners and cleaning products, or even minerals used in your prescription drugs will assist to make your body more toxic. Adding insult to injury, many of these toxins in our food, air, and water supply are XENOESTROGENS that contribute to hormone imbalance and are a great detriment to the immune system.
Not to mention they contribute largely to mens plummeting testosterone levels and rampant problems in the bedroom as is evident from the many little blue pill commercials on television. Causes for these massive amounts of environmental hormones are even coming from plastics!
Certain types of plastic containers can leech a chemical called bisphenol A (BPA). Look on the bottom of your plastic containers to see if there's a little recycling symbol with a 3, 6, or 7 listed on it. If so, stay away from it unless it specifically states next to the symbol that it's "BPA Free"! Theres no way of escaping the toxins in our air, however the Easy 3-Day Detox will assist you in GREATLY REDUCING the amount of exogenous toxins in your system through food and water. With that said, the other source of toxins actually comes from INSIDE your body. Essentially, your bodys cells produce waste all the time. Its part of the natural metabolic process your body goes through. Those toxins are like your cells micro feces; produced by cells similar to how you expel waste when you go to the bathroom. These toxins need to be removed from the cells and processed out through the body. This is your bodys NATURAL WAY TO DETOX ITSELF. But DETOX is a strange word with a lot of misunderstanding behind it. So lets clear up a few things right now, ok?
Detoxing Demystified!
You get it. You may have even tried a detox diet or cleanse yourself. IN FACT - most people also know that: Weve got to WAKE UP and start taking ownership of our bodies, our food supply, and our well-being and stop hiding like ostriches with our heads sandwiched in the dirt and our hands elbow-deep in a bag of potato chips! In order to take ownership of their bodies, many will take the approach of denying themselves something that is clearly unhealthy such as daily desserts or fried chicken binges. A great many of these people will take it even a step further to explore holistic nutrition. When it comes to holistic practices like cleansing and detoxing, theres still a lot of misunderstanding and mystery surrounding these principles. Some of the misconceptions weve heard are: 1. I dont want to subsist on tree bark and graze on grass to get healthy 2. I cant afford to go to drain my whole paycheck on health foods 3. I dont have the time to research plants and mystery fruits to verify whether or not I even need them. 4. Im very regular; my body does a great job of digesting what I consume. 5. Cleansing?! Detoxing!? No Way! Thats New Age-y Witchcraft! 6. Im not a Hollywood starlet, how could I afford to do such a thing? And heres one of our favorites: 7. I once knew a guy who did a Cleanse that was so extreme it took up his entire day just to maintain!
10
No matter what youre current level of knowledge or experience, you must know that that detoxing is NOT something to be seen as hard or new age-y. The Easy 3-Day Detox is going to introduce you to a lifestyle of constant cleansing that is, well, EASY! In the simplest terms, detoxing comes from the word "detoxification". Cleansing is a fanciful word we use to make a New Age-y life of eating bark and grass sound desirable. JUST KIDDING! Cleansing is just a synonym we use for the process of detoxification. In all seriousness, what you may not realize is that YOUR BODY IS DETOXIFYING EVERY SINGLE SECOND OF YOUR LIFE. Yes, its true as youre reading this as you exercise as you're sleeping your body is always, always, always detoxifying! There is a reason for this. You obviously realize that your body produces waste materials which are excreted by the body into your toilet. Well, imagine if you NEVER had a bowel movement or urinated! It wouldnt take long at all for that waste material to build up in your body and have catastrophic results, right? Well, just as we produce waste when we go to the bathroom and do our thing, our cells too, produce waste material. That waste needs to be removed so it doesnt cause damage. Though other bodily systems are at work, this waste removal primarily happens through your bodys main detoxification organ, the liver.
11
Your liver acts as a filter through which your blood flows. Toxins that are deposited into the blood stream reach the liver and are removed so they cant do any further damage. To accomplish this, the liver goes through a complicated two-step process. This is the process behind detoxification and the reason that your Easy 3-Day Detox is so important. We cleanse to help our bodies with the detoxification process, and thereby preventing some of the physical ailments, malfunctions, and even mental blocks that form from being overly toxic. Keep reading to learn more about how our minds and bodies benefit from the Easy 3-Day Detox program.
12
And this is all it takes to benefit your health! Wrong answer! Cleansing, when done right, when done the way were about to show you, is something that should be in the back of your mind all the time. And the reason this Easy 3-Day Detox is REVOLUTIONARY is because it EMPOWERS through EDUCATION and it WORKS! Because the drug companies want you to continue taking joint pain medication for your arthritis they arent prescribing you with a NATURAL remedy for combatting this condition. Because the government doesnt profit off of lobbyists for natural foods, but they profit largely from the massive food conglomerates, you wont hear the President or Prime Minister of your country vying for more honest food labels and calling out food conglomerates... or the creators of the food pyramids Americans learn in kindergarten! Instead, youre going to continue thinking that your morning cereal that is richly fortified with neurotoxins, high fructose corn syrup, and loads of preservatives is good because its got Whole Grains, one of many myths purported by the money grubbing fake food pushers and well explain more about myths such as these later in the book. Its something that can be done on a daily basis through the food that you nourish your body with.
13
In most cases, these foods are already in your diet or your home. It's not about following some erratic, extreme cleansing program that you read about in Hollywood tabloids. (How long can you really subsist on spicy lemonade?) FAD CLEANSING JUST ISNT SUSTAINABLE. To truly benefit your body and feel the amazing effects of a detoxified system, you must follow a natural cleansing program that you can sustain on an ongoing basis. And here we come to the ultimate truth about detoxing You see, YOUR BODY KNOWS HOW TO HEAL ITSELF! It knows how to get rid of the harmful toxins that are in your body right this minute. Of course, medical doctors have different trains of thought on this. For example, if youre a burn victim some doctors will load your diet up with tons and tons of protein. On the contrary, some will tell you to do nothing but rest and let your body heal itself. With cleanses, its the same thing; some nutrients can assist you substantially but for the most part your own body is the most powerful antidote to detoxification. In most cases, detoxification actually works BETTER when we don't ingest all sorts of weird cleansing concoctions or outlandish super-supplements. The best support we can give our body in its natural detoxing process is actually to do nothing. For instance, one more extreme cleansing example is the water fast. When you hear about people doing water fasts (which is pretty extreme), you will see that these people are taking advantage of the fact that their BODIES are doing the work WITHOUT the aid of miracle bark or magic plants!
14
Whats truly needed is to give your body the time and environment to heal itself naturally is the ABSENSE OF TOXINS. So now the question is, if detoxification is such a natural process of your body, and we're constantly regenerating cells and we're constantly fighting these toxins, why is it then that it becomes so hard for people? What's happening that's causing our bodies to hold on to these things?
15
By some estimates in the medical community... If you have ONE bowel movement a day, its estimated that you have about 1.5 pounds of fecal matter in your intestines and colon. Not too bad...but there are MANY people who DONT go number 2 every day! So its estimated that if you have a bowel movement EVERY 2 DAYS...then you have about 9 POUNDS of fecal matter sitting inside of you. But get this... If youre one of those people who only have a bowel movement once every 5 DAYS (yes, theyre out there!)...you could have up to 14.5 POUNDS of rotting matter in your system! In fact, weve had reports of people using our detox methods who were able to lose up to 5 POUNDS in a single day as their body purges all of this built up waste matter! And just think of all the poisons leaving your body when that happens! You see, after the liver has detoxified everything it can muster, toxins are sent to the colon. Essentially the colon, where the solid waste products are being naturally formed, is full and has a hard time passing the toxic waste. Because the waste has nowhere to go, the toxins eventually recirculate throughout the body. They even circulate throughout your bloodstream. This condition, known as autointoxication, reintroduces the unwanted toxins to your body and creates serious problems. Its even considered a major cause of low sex drive in both men and women and erectile dysfunction! Now, do we mean that basically avoiding fast food or fattening foods will magically reduce the risk of toxins in our bodies and bring back the libido of a 17 year old on prom night? NO!
16
We consume toxins from foods as healthy as blueberries, apples, and lean meats, even in our drinking water! These toxins that come from our food and water supply or through air pollution are from exogenous sources, or outside the body. Its the crux of the argument for organic foods, which are grown without the use of pesticides and other chemicals. Exogenous toxins cripple our bodys detoxification process its like your metaphorical Detox Factory is in perpetual overload and cant keep up with the amount of toxins it needs to cleanse your body of. Toxins we dont eliminate create free radicals in our bodies which impair our immune systems through binding to immune system information pathways called cytokines. Once your body can no longer ward off the attacking toxins, poisons and microbes will win the war. Ailments, cancers, and even death can be attributed to this toxic overload. Our bodies havent evolved to the point of being able to handle these toxic overloads so they just hang on to those chemicals. Are you TOXIC? It is important that we learn how to recognize when we are toxic and what to do about it. Thanks to the steps outlined in this book we CAN GREATLY REDUCE the amount of petrochemicals, pesticides, and other manmade toxins through a few simple diet tweaks. First its important to continue to outline the biology behind the Easy 3-Day Detox so that youre body and your mind will be properly equipped for the war against toxins.

18
If were storing toxins in the nervous tissue for years and decades, theres much more than fat that you should be worried about in the long term.

3. Actual toxins in your system This is a HUGE wakeup call for people! Your blood is: 1. Your biggest tissue 2. A reflection of your health 3. The passageway of oxygen to your cells And we have a TON of it! When toxins are present in our blood it slows the movement of oxygen-carrying red blood cells. This is why you may feel tired all the time; oxygen is not being efficiently carried to your cells. Another important skill that you need to master in order to identify the presence of toxins in your body is the ability to be aware of yourself. Sounds simple, but it means taking note of how you feel and symptoms that arise throughout the day; especially before and after meals. HEY if some so-called diets ask you to weight your food to the micro-ounce or COUNT calories (YUCK!) the least you can monitor during your Easy 3-Day Detox is how you feel, right? When you dont pay attention to your own body, it is difficult to know what healthy does and does not feel like. These skills will become easier and more accurate as you experience more and more what it feels like to be healthy. Can you imagine actually being joyfully able to deny your body the nasty foods you currently crave because youre so in tune with yourself? Its pretty metaphysical, actually! How would your weight loss and overall diet goals change if you suddenly woke up one day and said to yourself Coffee with cream and sugar? No way, I actually want to stay awake through my 3 oclock meeting today!
21
Big Mac for lunch? That sounds terrible! I wouldnt even make it through the first bite! Sugar cravings? Not really. But sometimes I really get a hankering for a kiwi-strawberry smoothie from my juicer! Similar to the way you cant stand the taste of tequila because of that first night in Cancun that ruined your whole week When you know what HEALTHY feels like, you never want to go back to the perpetual hangover of being toxic.

Part II: Preparing Your Body for the Easy 3-Day Detox
Getting Your Game Face On
You feel lethargic and fatigued sometimes. You have a hard time with regularity and digestion. You have already seen first-hand that your blood is riddled with toxins (And you want your blood to flow like the freeway at 3 a.m.) So how will we prepare for a full-out cleanse? For most people, detoxing will involve a calculated, daily change of eating habits. As we know, kicking any habit is no walk in the park. If youre truly addicted to toxic- particularly those foods that contain a higher ratio of chemicals than actual FOOD- youre going to have a tougher time than others! Have you ever heard an Italian claim that foregoing pasta leads to depression? What about the term emotional eating? Maybe you cant sit through a movie without buttered popcorn and soda. We are tied to the foods we eat in a variety of ways such as: * Psychological * Emotional * Physiological * Cultural
24
This can make any changes tough, especially if your current eating habits are tied into any of the above. If youve ever fought a soda pop addiction, cigarette smoking, chocolate, refined sugar, or even salty cracker cravings when youre trying to lose weight, you understand that becoming healthy involves substantial and difficult challenges. In fact, even those of us who are generally healthy eaters will find changes to their routine to be a substantial challenge. Maybe youre going to have to cease alcohol or caffeine intake (or both!) The challenge is especially noticeable for those of us who are independent and generally subject to the whim of our own desires You decide when you want to eat You decide what you want to eat You decide with whom you want to eat and you generally make healthy food choices! Right?! While making your way through law school youve enjoyed a steady diet of protein bars and lattes. Youve become accustomed to your evening dinner of low-fat buttery popcorn with diet soda at 10 p.m. Not so bad!? Well, a life of regular detoxification and cleansing is just as important for you, too! You think that: Fat-Free dressings Diet Sodas Lean Meats Heart healthy packaged foods Low Fat, Fat Free or Reduced Fat Options
25
Will keep you clean. NO. Diet options can sometimes be your worst enemy! Nonetheless, its still imperative that you get your blood tested, know the truth, and modify your diet accordingly. You may have a lot to change and thats fine! It wont take long before the whole process becomes easier and eventually a preferred way of life! (And it doesnt involve sucking down clay, either!) The positive feeling you get after the changes are made is exactly what we want to explore next
26
27
Do you suffer from acne? What about eczema? Most skin issues will clear up with your detox diet! Because your skin has a direct relationship with your liver, you can look at your skin conditions to learn about the health of your liver. Skin conditions may be a sign that your liver is toxic, overworked, and stressed. Have you ever noticed a breakout during stress? What about yellow tones in an alcoholic? This is signs of liver poisoning.
Important: Many of todays best-selling skin products and even shampoos are
loaded with proven cancer causing chemicals! To avoid further toxic exposure, you and your family should strictly avoid these ingredients: Sodium laurel sulfate There have been studies that claim this common shampoo ingredient can cause headaches and even nerve damage when massaged into the scalp! Propylene glycol Skin conditions like eczema are only part of the problem. Kidney and liver damage are possible! Diazolidinyl urea This can release formaldehyde into your body. Yes, the same substance that preserved dead frogs in jars for your school biology class! Parabens Youve seen them on your skin care products ingredients list. But did you know that these are xenoestrogenic substances that are adding excessive female hormones to your body?
28
The Easy 3-Day Detox is invaluable for people who want to look better without having to cake on makeup every time they get out of the shower. Or for those who truly are afraid to go swimming or enjoy a nice vacation because they arent comfortable with their skin. The same goes for your hair and fingernails. Some people have even reported grey hair being restored to the pigmentation they enjoyed in their youths. This is because your hair and nails have the same nutrients and metabolic pathways as your skin. And if you arent completely on board yet, this next Detox Benefit will most assuredly get you there!
29
YES! And HOW! Most people also find a TREMENDOUSLY positive change in their mental clarity when they detox. Our minds tend to get bogged down or foggy when we are in a toxic state. Many people obsess over when their next meal will come or where theyre going to eat. People have a connection with food that causes them to want to have full bellies all the time. When we purify our bodies through proper foods and AVOID toxic foods it makes our bodies more pure. We arent obsessing over meals or suffering from unhealthy cravings. Our minds are free to focus on tasks at hand and tune out distractions. Ultimately, a clear mind is a powerful tool that allows you to be more productive at whatever you do. Perhaps today you feel foggy or you constantly feel like you want a nap. Youre compulsively watching the clock at your desk- barely able to focus on your computer screen.
30
Once youve cleansed its like you suddenly find yourself restless in the OPPOSITE sense of feeling foggy and detached from your world. Now youre engaged with life. Your mind is running a mile a minute. Youre experiencing a sort of connection with your surroundings like youre seeing things for the first time. YOURE IN THE ZONE. This is incredible for athletes. Its GOLD for business owners, entrepreneurs, and sales reps. Its life-saving for workers who are looking to become more productive on the job in order to gain a promotion, job security, or merely to feel more satisfaction with what theyre doing. Moreover, people who cleanse claim to find themselves sleeping less. Perhaps you have struggled getting out of bed in the morning or getting much done before 10 a.m. for YOU this cleanse will CHANGE YOUR LIFE.
31
Cleansing to be Energy-Efficient?
It sounds silly, perhaps. But truly, youre going to notice your energy levels SKYROCKET when you cleanse; it goes hand-in-hand with a toxic-free body. Our society is presently addicted to stimulation: Television Coffee and sodas Sugar Energy supplements Even vodka doesnt CUT IT for our toxic diets anymore: we mix this hard liquor with Energy Drinks! Overly caffeinated and sugary drinks only provide quick fixes for more deeply rooted issues. The above sources give you a quick spike in energy, but result in an energy crash. So we double up the sources. We combine them. When we crash again we jump back on the cycle to reenergize. A pot of coffee to wake up, soda at lunch, energy drinks at 3 p.m. and then beer or wine after work, coupled with sugary desserts and not the pineapple or mango kind, but refined sugar, a TERRIBLE food we should ALWAYS stay away from. In order to bring the feeling of high energy back tomorrow morning, another round of stimulants is required, and the cycle of reintroducing toxins continues over and over again. HERES WHERE WE SHAKE THINGS UP: With a body that is rid of toxins, you will find you dont need energy supplements because your energy levels are higher and sufficient for the entire day.
32
In addition, you will begin to feel a better about YOURSELF. Youre going to feel more relaxed, more satisfied with yourself, and a lot happier. Your emotions are richly rewarded when your body cleanses. People who have worked the Easy 3-Day Detox into a healthier lifestyle notice shifts where they used to be irritable and aggressive. You become more Zen and now you understand why Yoga is so deeply tied to cleansing techniques! Once the benefits of cleansing have become a reality, youll never want to go back to the way you were. The foods you once craved will no longer be a temptation. Perhaps your tendency to drink alcohol in excess wanes after you begin to make the Easy 3 Day Detox a weekly or even daily habit. Youre finding a more sustainable and long-lasting forms of energy. You will have also gained the aforementioned ability to decipher between feeling healthy or unhealthy. Fitness experts and doctors alike are recommending detoxification to battle epidemic sleepiness and addiction to sugary sodas or energy quick-fixes. Once you begin cleansing daily, youre going to find those days of dying for your first cup of coffee a distant memory. Instead of looking in the mirror every day thinking, Wow, I need to exercise more youre going to enact change from the inside out. And weve learned that your body is actually DYING to HELP you feel great, look great, and be great!
33
Reputable scientists and sociologists have long wondered why Asian cultures seem to live longer, healthier lives and enjoy lower toxicity levels than Western cultures. Since the early 1990s Japan and China have been recognized and hailed for low mortality rates and Ancient Medicinal Genius. There are a plethora of reasons for this; namely the Easts holistic approach to medicine. Their view of health couples diet with exercise not singling out one or the other. The Easts detoxification prowess is also strongly linked to their relationship with water. Rather than throwing back a six pack of beer, a two-liter of soda, or a pot of coffee, Asian cultures largely consume water or herbal tea as the drink of choice. Water greatly fortifies the bodys ability to detoxify through the dilution of toxins. Moreover, water helps digestion and serves to flush the body of toxins, sodium, and food. They also consume more organic foods and less of the dangerous hormones and steroids that plague much of the American diet. A diet rich in fish and poultry also provides more antioxidants than a Western diet that is red-meat rich. Finally, Asians walk and ride bicycles as the primary mode of transport. They continually release toxins through sweat as they go about their day on foot or on bike.

Cleanse to Avoid #1
Our first example of a cleanse to avoid is The Master Cleanse. This is a classic example of a cleanse that achieved stardom because of, well, a starlet. The Master Cleanse is a ten-day program that asks you to consume essentially maple syrup, cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and water for every meal. It also incorporates periodic salt water flushes to flush the colon. All your required daily nutrients coming from one funky drink. Some people go to extremes and drink these mixtures for up to 40 days. In addition, The Master Cleanse requires you to drink water with high salt concentrations to induce diarrhea. They package this up nicely by calling it the salt water flush portion of the cleanse. This is actually a powerful temporary technique thats been used for thousands of years but no matter how you package it, this isnt natural or sustainable for the long term. In fact, done half-hazardly and the wrong way, such flushes rid our bodies of bionutrients and experts will tell you that such a flush will WIPE YOU OUT, not give you amazing energy, like the Easy 3-Day Detox will! People may try this kind of extreme cleanse in hopes of losing weight. Apparently Beyonc tried this program and lost 20 lbs. What wasnt publicized was that she gained back the weight in about two weeks when she stopped the cleanse. Not only is this cleanse unnatural and unsustainable, but you are running the risk of really damaging your body. Lemon in and of itself is very good for helping our bodies become more alkaline and less acidic.
36
Its also linked to benefits in digestion. The problem with this cleanse and many others is that they arent for everybody, and probably not for anybody. You see, maple syrup is a high glycemic sweetener. What if youre diabetic or hypoglycemic? The Easy 3-Day Detox is designed for people in great shape AS WELL AS those who suffer with blood sugar issues. Cayenne pepper, were discovering, may not even have the benefits it once was touted to have as a metabolism stimulant. In addition, if you suffer from arthritis, cayenne pepper contains alkaloid compounds that can cause inflammation you want to avoid. Did you really think that drinking liters of maple syrup over a ten-day period is a GOOD thing for your blood sugar? Neither did we.
Cleanse to Avoid #2
Maybe you hadnt heard of Beyoncs spicy lemonade diet, but youre definitely familiar with our Cleanse to Avoid Number Two. This dietary fad involves the acai berry [ah-sigh-ee]. The acai berry is basically the blueberry of Brazil. Its found naturally and is loaded with antioxidants. However, companies capitalize on the concept of a wonderful natural berry and produce pills, supplements, and cleansing products with the acai berry as a selling feature. The Acai Berry Cleanse is linked to dozens and dozens of diet and supplement scams online. Youve probably seen them!
37
They make outrageous promises, offer free trials, and guarantee you six pack abs or god-like detoxified bodies Until youre billed unknowingly on the back end. People are bamboozled day in and day out, and will be until the end of days, looking for the magic pillthe quick-fix. The temptation that a colorful kit, one measly bottle, or a simple package offers is just too great to pass up. But you pay in the end. Learn how to detox for LIFE and you WONT BE SORRY! Focus on your internal health and true cleanliness from all aspects of what you consume and youve found a sustainable cleanse that will give you the results youre looking for, forever! Supplements are nice, but theres no point in supplementing a toxic diet! Besides, you can find all the vitamins and minerals that are touted in supplements through natural, raw foods.
Cleanse to Avoid #3
Colon cleaners arent just found in hilarious early American anecdotes from T.C.Boyles A Road to Wellville. Theyre becoming insanely popular within the fitness and wellness industry. In fact, colon cleansing clinics are popping up everywhere. People really do suffer from constipation and irritable bowel syndrome. During the Easy 3 Day Detox you will find constipation lose its grip on your body and things will begin to regulate naturally through your bodys unique healing methods. Nevertheless, somebody had to make money on cleansing as it relates to regularity!
38
Colon cleanses go hand in hand with the rest of these Detox Duds. Its easy enough to get on the bandwagon when youre shown pictures of parasites inside your body! The stunt that companies are pulling here is to show you than once you use their cleanse, youre going to expel nasty goopy grossness that was (Shock!) plaguing your system. Well call this the Goopy Poop Cleanse. The scam part is that these cleanses are alleged to contain the ingredients that makes you goopy. In attempt to get you to use their detoxification products, companies will show you graphic images and tell you to expect a kind of goopy or string-like bowel movement. The goal is to have you believe their product is cleaning out all this goop that has built up inside you. People freak out and want to buy this cleanse again and again! Reliable industry-leading experts will attest to the fact that in working with thousands of clients over the years theyve never seen this Or rather theyve never heard of a client experiencing this goopy grossness after a natural and healthy cleanse like the Easy 3-Day Detox. While were still unsure about what it is that these companies are putting into their supplements, it seems obvious they are adding something to their products to create this effect. Even if they claim to be using natural ingredients, it does not necessarily mean it is a healthy practice. Some companies will use different herbs and concoctions which will give your feces a black, tar-like look. Others will use psyillium fiber, found in Metamucil, which has a gel-like function that accumulates toxins and helps to form stool. In some cases these ingredients are helpful, but using other agents to produce a dramatic, excretory experience is not natural or helpful.
39
In reality, these supplements being used are most likely creating the effect inside you rather than cleaning out the goop that was already there. Call it what you will, just be sure to avoid cleanses that not only try to sell you snake oil, but produce such oil within your body!
Cleanse to Avoid #4
Theyve been called laxative bulimics. Theyre people who take laxatives compulsively because either they: A) Have lost the ability to naturally expel waste from a myriad of unhealthy practices, potentially involving an eating disorder B) Are obsessed with food leaving their bodies Taking laxatives or doing salt water flushes to try and poop ten times a day isnt a sustainable, healthy way to reestablish proper digestive and intestinal function either. This isnt to say that theres no place for a salt water flush as a part of a periodic cleansing program the problem lies in becoming dependent on these measures in order to eliminate waste. If youve trained your body to rely on unnatural measures to perform the functions it has been designed to carry out on its own these cleansing addictions are crippling your digestive system and your health. Its like waking up desperate for coffee or oatmeal before you can enjoy a productive morning bathroom break. This is because coffee is a diuretic. Its also a laxative because it puts your colon into kind of spasms. Over time you literally shut down your intestines normal function. Youve become dependent on stimulants and laxatives to evacuate what you cant move on your own.
40
Weve shown you how biologically youre designed to flush, function, detox, redistribute, etc. So dont grab the wheel and tell your magnificent body that it doesnt know what its doing! Its like the recreational exercisers who wear weightlifting belts when they shouldnt. Theyre telling their core muscles, Hey, dont do any work! Weve got your back This the same person blows out his back doing squats without the belt on. It demonstrates a lack of respect for your body when you introduce unnatural measures to help it perform its natural functions. It is like you are saying to your body, You know what you are doing, but Im going to bring in extra help. In the end, you are taking away your own bodys ability to cleanse and heal itself.
Cleanse to Avoid #5
Companies not only market cleanses that are full of empty promises and unhealthy practices, they are also trying to push system cleansing. These include most commonly gallbladder, colon, and liver cleanses. The claim is that you can focus on specific areas to cleanse. While this is a clever marketing tool, sadly it is FALSE!!! If you havent gathered it by now, the truth is that all the systems of your body are interrelated. It is impossible to isolate one organ or system to cleanse. Remember the nursery-school song?
41
The leg bones connected to the thigh bone, the thigh bones connected to the hip bone, the hip bones connected to the tail bone The same is true within your body: everything is working together and your overall body is influenced when one organ fails. You may find a nutrient that is specifically beneficial for a particular organ or system, but if you try a specific cleanse for one system, everything else will be affected by it in some way. However, if youre cleansing the liver our main detoxification organ youre essentially also cleansing the gallbladder, the intestines, the colon, etc. Why would a company market the LIVER CLEANSE? Well because youre told that the booze and cigarettes and overall hedonistic lifestyle you live are slowly killing your liver! So be it: youve been living it up like a rock star and now you want to keep on living it up! Thats why this 3-Day Detox is your life-saver. You dont want to constantly worry about walking your daughter down the aisle you want to be there when your granddaughter gets married. You dont want to experience the mortification of yellowed skin and saggy droopy features from years of alcohol abuse: you want to take back your body and earn the title of silver fox or panther or cougar or whatever animal you fancy being likened to in your later years. Lets just get this one thing straight: stick to sustainable, whole-body cleanses. Holistic, natural practices are always in style for a reason: they work. So now lets kick it up a notch and explore your Easy 3-Day Detox
42
43
Weve noticed that its great for the average Joe or Jane to begin your Easy 3Day Detox over the weekend. You dont want to be suffering withdrawal from your comfort food or drink while stuffed like a sausage into nylons or slaving away over Excel spreadsheets... To start, as your Easy 3-Day Detox Coach were going to recommend you repeat the following phrases before that Cannonball your anxious to perform: 1. Im merely taking my existing diet and tweaking it. 2. There are no radical changes that are going to turn my world, and my bank account, upside down. 3. Im eliminating foods that make me feel worse. 4. 3 days isnt that long Its only 3 seasons of 24! So without further ado Here are our Easy 3- Day Detox Strategies

Believe it or not, although there were ramblings about dietary guidelines since 1943 this food Pyramid was just released in 1992.

It has since changed slightly since the above photo - but THIS image of pastas, cereals, and breads are still etched into the minds of many Americans trying to conceptualize a healthy diet for themselves and their families. If you are a Westerner, try to envision just two restaurants aside from Asianinspired fare that serve dishes with primarily vegetables and fruits. Its tough, we know! And for the record much more expensive for the restaurant owner who ventures to provide a plate of asparagus for less than $7.00 a plate in favor of filling you up with carbs and grains. Heres the problem: humans do not digest grains well at all. In actuality, our bodies are not evolved enough to digest them. Whats crazy is that theyre prevalent in almost EVERY food. And were not talking about the pseudo-grains like quinoa and amaranth, but bad ones like flour and white bread. YES this means that cakes, cookies, donuts these arent gonna fly during your detox. The refined sugar and the grains in most sweets causes them to be not only DEVASTATING TO YOUR DIET, but theyre essentially ANTI-NUTRITIONAL because they do nothing but harm to your body and distract your faculties from repairing and fortifying your system. Aside from the obvious sweets, youre going to kick off your Easy 3-Day Detox by avoiding: Pastas Breads Cereals Orzo Couscous Rice Soy

First of all, grains (and soy) require processing in order to be fit for humans to consume. Lets hone in on grains, though which are more widely consumed by the larger population on an enormous level. In truth, we didnt rely on grains for our food supply until agriculture become technologically advanced enough. Grains are bad for: 1. Stomach grains are surrounded by a kernel that can tear up your insides 2. Weight Maintenance Grains are largely starch which digests into maltose and isomaltose before becoming glucose. **It is believed that when you take a slice of bread and ball it up you can consider this to be the measure of refined sugar youre consuming from that piece of bread. 3. Blood sugar your pancreas is trying to process this glucose overload by producing insulin in order to process, or metabolize it and the pancreas cant handle the over-influx of grains we eat. Diseases that are linked to grains overload: Insulin Resistance Hypoglycemia Type II Diabetes Overloading our systems with this much sugar distracts the body from its other functions, thereby weakening your immune system. Because youre eating these empty calories, or as we mentioned earlier, and anti-nutritious food, the body uses up stores of vitamins and minerals just to metabolize your poor food choice. Now youre adding: Vitamin & Mineral Deficiencies to the list!

Back to the barbeque scene now How many times have you or somebody you know made fun of the Exaggerators who wont let the chef use the same utensils on your burger as on their portabella mushroom? Or the ones who compulsively clean your grill before letting the spokes touch their vegan kabob? What about the folks who bring their own food everywhere or wont eat out at restaurants claiming that there just isnt anything theyre not allergic to? Youve heard people mock those with so-called hang-ups such as: Celiac disease Gluten intolerance Well DONT. Grains contain allergens. Why are there suddenly scores of people with food allergens that we never knew about two hundred years ago? Simply put, were eating foods that we havent evolved enough to digest. Right away youre going to notice that you lose some weight. This is because grains hold on to water and have an inflammatory response in your body. Have you been suffering from joint problems or arthritis? Then get rid of foods that are causing inflammation in your body! Youre going to FEEL this positive change very soon after ridding your body of these foods that kind of queue up in the body and weigh you down.

Much of the fish we consume comes from countries that dont have strict guidelines for fishing. This seafood often lives and breathes petrochemicals and other poisonous gases. In addition, you probably are familiar with the fact that our livestock is fed a primarily corn diet to fatten them up. This isnt the intention of the animal who intends to live on grass and graze. Whats even scarier is that alongside corn were throwing in protein supplements, antibiotics, and drugs such as growth hormone. YES, this is horrifying. In fact, some elementary schools are reporting young girls reaching puberty before the age of ten because of drugs such as these that are in milk or beef. Men especially are notorious carnivores and especially those reading fitness magazines who are told that eating meat will help you build more muscle something every guy would like more of, right? Well, its true that those who eat meat are likely to have higher testosterone levelsbut only if approached the right way! You see, todays meat from the local grocery is typically from cows that were supplemented with estrogen to prep them for the slaughterhouse in order to yield more meat (and net farmers more profits) But this meat, when tested, showed up to 5 TIMES the amount of estrogen in the meat itself than meat from untreated cattle. Did you get that? 5 TIMES THE ESTROGEN LEVELS IN OUR MEAT! Here's what that means to you:
For WOMEN: Increased estrogen levels can lead to a higher risk of breast cancer and for teenage girls, earlier onset of puberty and even risky sexual behavior.
50
For MEN: Estrogen is the arch-enemy of testosterone and can lead to gynocomastia (aka - "man boobs"), reduced sex drive, and cause you to actually lose muscle tissue!
For the purposes of your cleanse, we need to tip the scales way back the other way which is why youre laying off of meat for a few days. Therefore, to sum things up for the Easy 3-Day Detox were going to avoid: Milk Yogurts Cheese Creams Butter Poultry Fish Meat
So remove these inflammatory and allergenic foods. Theyre by and large ADDING toxins to your body anyway and itll feel AMAZING to flush those out for a few days! And finally

THE REASON THESE STEPS SOUND PREPOSTEROUS IS BECAUSE OF YOUR ADDICTION TO TOXIC FOOD ENSLAVES YOU TO HARMFUL HABITS AND A LOWER QUALITY OF LIFE! For those of you who wake up craving that first pot of coffee who set their coffee makers on intricate brew schedules who rush off to spend the first fruits of their labor on Caramel Macciatos or those of you whove cranked the Starbucks addition up to owning their own their own espresso-brewing latt frothing cappuccino contraptions The first day or two without your caffeine is going to result in two things: 1. Youre going to learn something about yourself. 2. Youre going to learn something about yourself whilst dealing with caffeine withdrawal, headaches and irritability. Were just keeping it real! Theres no sense in sugar-coating an addiction withdrawal. Thankfully, as long as you replace those lost liquids with water, your headaches will go and youll be feeling a noticeable improvement in just a day or two. Dont be DISCOURAGED by the withdrawal effects: going COLD TURKEY is one of the best ways you are able to learn just how much you rely on coffee, soda, even crackers, chips, or even rice cakes!

FAQ #1:
How many calories should I eat during the Easy 3-Day Detox?
Dont count calories during your detox. Youre eating delicious, natural foods that are hopefully free of chemicals and low in sodium. Eat all the fruit you want (they dont have points!) and youll do nothing but enhance your detox. Youll know when youve eaten enough and itll be incredibly refreshing to be on a diet that doesnt make you weigh, count, or fret about calories. Youre going to be digesting this food quickly and easily because of how close to nature it originates. Therefore, even if you do eat until youre really full the feeling wont last as long as a Sausage Pizza-Beer-&-Cupcake Binge or a Fast Food Fest wherein you overdo it and the feeling lasts for hours even days! Worry, instead, about finding peace with your decision to make the Easy 3-Day Detox a part of your life RELAXING is great for digestion!
58

Researchers at the University of Kentucky conducted a study indicating that one cup of cooked beans per day can even lower a persons cholesterol by up to 10% in only six weeks and an average of 19% in men. The risk of heart attack plummets by almost 40% for men who experience such a drop in cholesterol.
FAQ #3

Sometimes free range chickens arent really kept in the best conditions which is a downfall of mass production in the industry. The best thing you can do for the purest poultry is to get local eggs that are from local farms. This way, the chickens get enough sunlight, air, space to exercise, and natural foods to eat. Laws that govern Free Range do not always mandate that poultry gets these essential ingredients for a healthy chicken, a healthy egg, and a quality food on your plate.
FAQ #4:

Therefore why is indeed full of protein, but it is also mostly lactose. In fact, people with lactose intolerance are forbidden to consume why in any form. Although it is possible to find whey protein that is isolated from the lactose component, this is very difficult and it probably isnt in your supermarket tub of whey protein.
FAQ #5:
FAQ #6
62
In a wordno. You see, flour requires you to grind up a grain and refine it, thereby making it void of its essential nutrients. The seed that you get from nature is pure and good to consume. However, the grains and flour that you are accustomed to have been overlyprocessed and refined into a sort of faux food stripped of nutrients and fiber. Therefore, we recommend that you avoid flour of any kind during this period. In addition, gluten is found in wheat, barley and rye. Gluten is very unnatural for our bodies to digest and found to be even poisonous to those who suffer from gluten intolerance or celiac disease. Gluten will essentially clog you up and is linked to the same paste that allows your bread to get spongy as well as your wallpaper to stick to your walls If our Easy 3-Day Detox is meant to cleanse why would you add this pasteforming substance to an already over-worked GI Tract? When you get rid of gluten in your diet for three days you may realize how much your body actually rejects it. Once you begin consuming gluten again you may find that in large quantity, gluten perpetuates a lagging digestive process, a lack of energy due to your body being so consumed with digestion, and even muscle fatigue. We have stated in earlier chapters that our bodies dont digest whole grains well. For the record, try to focus on foods during your Easy 3-Day Detox that promote digestion in your body. For you, it may be an apple or a green pepper hone in on these great foods.

Why dont we just spend the money to go see a naturopath to obtain simple, easy supplements with these vitamins and minerals? Really, theres nothing wrong with seeing a naturopath or a nutritionist. The problem is that youre going to throw down: a. Several hundred dollars on the consultation b. Easily $700.00 in supplements c. And you havent even purchased healthy groceries yet! You dont need to spend thousands of dollars to do a cleanse. If youd spend the $700.00 on supplements from the health food stores on actual foods that are good for you it could last some people two whole months! Ultimately, what youre doing with the Easy 3-Day Detox Diet is reinforcing what the body is naturally designed to do. If your Detox Diet is basically taking the first two meals of your day and getting rid of them, for instance you arent going to start the day with cereal and munch on a bagel at 10 a.m., youre going to really need to replace the carb habit or chocolate milk mornings with something satisfying. This is another reason juicing is an awesome option for replacing your previous meals with detoxifying meals. You can use the blender or food-processer you already have if you dont have a juicer, no problem. Worried about your 10 a.m. energy-drop? DONT BE! Youll find that juicing one apple, one banana, maybe a squeezed lime and two handfuls of spinach will beget an entire liter of green smoothie. This will last you a couple of hours and will sustain you much better than a two minute McMuffin-load that leaves you crashing in minutes. What youre also going to recognize here is that were not REMOVING foods in order to effectively detox were SUBSTITUTING them.
68
This way you arent going to feel the starvation or withdrawal that you might with other more restrictive cleanses and diets. Experts who understand the psychology behind a successful diet plan will recognize this SUB-IN, SUB-OUT philosophy as a GREAT way to help you stay on track without feeling perpetually deprived, hungry, and restricted.

Taking the Easy 3-Day Detox to the Next Level Phase One:
So youve cut your grains, dairy and stimulants for 3 days and youre ready to step it up. Now well introduce a more intermediate cleanse this is the phenomenal program outlined at www.UltimateCleanseProgram.com. Yuri Elkaim, co-creator of the Easy 3 Day Detox program, has coached thousands of clients through his holistic cleansing program. He shares some of the secrets from his Ultimate Cleanse Program in these remaining few chapters. He refers to this as a Level II Cleanse. For those of you who have no problem removing the grains, dairy and stimulants from your diet in the Easy 3-Day Detox, youll have a much easier time advancing your cleanse. The next level of cleansing involves removing sweet fruit from your diet for at least a two-week time period. Fruit is a terrific food source and is never a bad source of nourishment. However, some of the sweeter tropical fruits like pineapple, bananas, and mangos are very high in sugar. These fruits can reinforce our cravings for bad sugars. Therefore, focus on the non-sweet or semi-sweet fruits such as apples, pears, and berries. These are still GREAT for you without the spike in blood sugar levels. It is important at this level to get people over their sugar cravings and its VITAL to your overall well-being to get away from foods containing processed sugars altogether.
70
Phase Two:
The next level is to eat raw foods. This isnt sushi or Carpaccio, per se. And it especially isnt eating raw chicken or pork! Eating raw foods involves consuming fruits and vegetables in their raw states. Avoid: 4. Steaming 5. Sauting 6. or heating the food above approximately 104 degrees. For 90% of the population this involves more smoothies and salads in their diets. For the hard-core raw foodies this includes raw foods pizzas, raw foods lasagnas, and hundreds of versions of delicious raw foods soups. Restaurants are literally popping up everywhere that tout foods with VITALITY and ENERGY. Theyre going beyond purees and crudits to offer courses in raw foods cooking, rawism or living foods workshops. Naturally your sweet potato isnt going to be digestible sliced on a salad but in a blender itll make a phenomenal sweet soup! Raw vegetables are jam packed with food enzymes that aid in the digestive process. In addition, they possess a veritable life force in their raw state. *** This life force found in raw vegetables is destroyed with the cooking processand so are the food enzymes! ***

Just take a look at the difference between these special images that can actually view energy spectrums (shown here in purple) from cooked broccoli on the left and raw organic broccoli on the right
Which would YOU rather have nourishing your body? In fact, eating cooked vegetables is sometimes harder for your body to digest than raw vegetables. Improve your digestion, vitality, and overall well-being by incorporating more raw foods into your diet. Remember: your body leans towards being overly-acidic. This is especially due to a diet heavy in grains, animal products, and processed foods. Acid in the body is related to disease. Phase II is meant to bring your body into an alkaline state, which is the opposite of acidic. Incorporating more fruits and vegetables is going to alkalize our bodies. The BEST foods for alkalization are Green Leafy Vegetables such as:
72
Broccoli Spinach Swiss Chard The alkalinity purifies our bodies and helps you feel incredible. When juicing, you can consume a ton of parsley, bunches of spinach, and other foods that we dont generally consume in large quantities. Greens, in fact, have more protein per gram than meat. Where else do you find yourself using parsley, for instance? Parsley is incredibly high in iron but you rarely see it outside of a garnish You can make a non-wheat version of a Tabbouli salad using quinoa, or you can pack tons of it into a juicer. Youll find yourself much more easily feeding your body minerals such as iron that it really needs because youve begun juicing. And it helps you stuff a whole lot more nutrients into one easy serving than were you to eat them in a bowl or as a plate of crudits! If you dont juice now, during phase two youre practically going to want to consider remortgage your house for a good juicer because of how delicious raw vegetable and fruit smoothies can be. And if youre shedding pounds and experiencing skyrocketing energy levels you wont let much get in your way! But whats most important to remember is that just as the Easy 3-Day Detox is done easily in any corner of the earth without the aid of miracle pills and potions, you can use a tiny little food processor OR an eight hundred dollar juicer!
73
Phase 3:
If there was a Survivor: Detox Challenge; you might be a contestant. For those of you who already consume raw foods that arent smothered in Ranch dressing and whove already begun focusing on fruits and vegetables as your primary food group: this next challenge is for you. Its the 28-Day Cleanse Phase. Youre probably juicing already. Maybe youve even begun eating more organic foods in order to limit your consumption of chemicals and pesticides. Youve perhaps toyed around with the idea of a colon cleanse. The Third Phase of our Easy 3-Day Detox Kick-Up involves a 28-day commitment that people often extend for months, years, or a lifetime! Before beginning your 28-Day Cleanse, however, we recommend you consult a holistic nutritionist. This phase is also known as the Juicing Level or Smoothie Level wherein youre basically going to consume juices and smoothies for the first 14-day period this is the cleanse phase. After the Juicing Level you move into the Maintenance Phase, which is a time when people move into a lifestyle of naturally whole foods. A lot of great holistic nutritionists will actually map out the final 14 days for you so that you can learn how to, well, maintain the Maintenance Phase. The maintenance phase lasts for the remaining 14 days of the 28 day cleanse, or Juicing Level. The following diagram will help you visualize how it looks:
74
During the Juicing Level phase you should also try an intermittent fast throughout the week where you consume nothing but water for an 18-24 hour period. This is a really significant time for your body to heal itself, which is the foundation upon which a lot of cleansing is based. Fasting is enormously popular today for people who want to: 7. Detoxify their bodies 8. Accelerate fat-burning 9. Generate healing through your bodys natural abilities 10. Achieve mental clarity 11. Improve their skin To really take this the whole nine yards, some cleansing programs will take you on a thirty-day water fast.
WARNING
Extended water fasts are extreme and should only be done under supervision!
75
The point is that the upper echelons, either through the Juicing Level or via a fullout Water Fast, provide the body with an environment conducive to working without the interruption of indigestible foods or toxins. Fasting will also help you learn about the psychological ways youre addicted to food because people will notice that after the first skipped meal or two in a fast theyre no longer hungry for days! This is because of our psychological dependence on our next meal or a feeling of security in a full belly. As in fasting, so it is with the Easy 3-Day Detox. The secret mechanism within you to Detoxify is this: Your Body is Always, Always Detoxing so GIVE IT SPACE. To reiterate Q. What is the ONE reason your body can not completely detoxify you from all of the contaminants you drink, eat, smoke, breath and bathe in without this Detox? A. Because its too busy in crisis mode, there are just too many toxins within you for the body to keep up. What the Easy 3-Day Detox does is to give your body a BREAK from elements that take its focus off of cleansing. Overwhelming our systems with indigestible and anti-alkaline diets takes the attention away from our bodies natural healing and digestive powers. Unless you understand WHERE the toxins are coming from, as weve outlined in this book, youll NEVER be able to detox. So, yes. Hollywood celebrities can pay $1 million for a consult with the worlds leading health and fitness gurus. But there is NO potion or powder than can replace the mechanism that is within you to detox. The power to fight toxicity and disease IS within you waiting to be unlocked.
76
Stick-It-To-The-Man Level
The 28-Day Cleanse, just like the Easy 3-Day Detox, is totally natural: No gimmicks, schemes, or supplements required. It involves giving your body center stage to control functions and promote healing on its own terms. This isnt about finding miracle pills or supplements. Whereas the detox marketers have honed in on a: Supplement-Based Pill-based Corporation-based ... Cleansing Conglomerate The Easy 3-Day Detox program doesnt require any pills, supplementation, or hard-to-find formulas. The corporation says: You want to cleanse? Send a check, well ship you the pills. In two weeks or a months time youre back where you began. In response to this, holistic nutritionists have decided to develop a cleanse that is food-based. Food-based cleanses are sustainable, and the ingredients arent manufactured in a far-off warehouse, but in almost any grocery store you walk into. The Easy 3-Day Detox is a sustainable cleanse that can be utilized bi-annually, bi-monthly, or as a daily lifestyle. Some will choose to move into full-out veganism after reaping benefits from their initial cleanse, which is perfectly okay, too.
77
Yuri Elkaim has worked with clients including professional athletes for years as a highly sought-after and reputable holistic nutritionist. He reports that 80% of his consulting clients continue the Maintenance Level for a full 5 and 6 months after their initial 2-week Juicing Level. One of the best parts about the Easy 3-Day Detox is looking back at your great accomplishments and saying, in the end: Wow! This is: Totally Sustainable Totally Affordable Totally Delicious Im never going back to ingesting toxic foods and feeling dreadful ever again! Thats the real goal of the Maintenance Phase is to set you off on a lifetime of clean eating and healthy living
*** A life of consistent detoxification isnt about throwing away your checkbook, your social life, and your valuable time into a diet program youll never fully understand. *** The Easy 3 Day Detox is a way to eat, a way to energize, and a way to more fully ENJOY LIFE!
