This is a daily menu from Dr Elson Haas, a world-renowned nutritionist and detox expert. It is a very simple daily meal plan, with grains for breakfast and vegetables thereafter. If you like the idea, and can stick to it, it will certainly bring results. For the ‘better butter’ mixture we would recommend the new ‘fresh’ olive oil we have recently started stocking mixed with an organic butter and some flax oil. Elson Haas also recommends the Master Cleanse drink (I am about to post the recipe for that) and it can be a good pick-me-up and an aid to the overall detox.
If you want to try the A.Vogel Detox Box this is the ideal diet to eat alongside it. You can easily add in the drops and if you also get the Goldenrod tea it makes an excellent programme.
SPECIAL GUIDELINES for THE DETOX DIET:
1. Chew your food very well and take enough time when you eat.
2. Relax a few minutes before and after your meal.
3. Eat in a comfortable sitting position.
4. Eat primarily steamed fresh vegetables and some fresh greens.
5. Take only herbal teas after dinner.
THE DETOX DIET MENU PLAN
Morning (upon arising): Two glasses of water (filtered, spring, or reverse osmosis), one glass with half a lemon squeezed into it.
Breakfast: One piece of fresh fruit (at room temp), such as apple, pear, banana, grapes, or citrus. Chew well, mixing each bite with saliva.
15-30 minutes later: One bowl of cooked whole grains–specifically millet, brown rice, amaranth, quinoa, raw buckwheat, or buckwheat.
Flavoring can be two tablespoons of fruit juice for a sweeter breakfast taste, or use the “better butter” mixture mentioned below with a little salt or tamari for a deeper flavor.
Lunch (Noon-1 P.M.) One-two medium bowls of steamed vegetables; use a variety, including roots, stems, and greens–e.g. potatoes & yams, green beans, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, beets, asparagus, kale, chard, and cabbage. CHEW WELL !
Dinner (5-6 P.M.) Same as Lunch
Seasoning–Butter/canola or flaxseed oil mixture. Make this “better butter” by mixing a half cup of cold-pressed canola oil (or olive or flaxseed oils) into a soft (room temperature) half-pound of butter; then place in dish and refrigerate. Use about one teaspoon per meal or a maximum of 3 teaspoons daily.
11 A.M. & 3 P.M. One-two cups veggie water, saved from steamed vegetables.
Add a little seasalt or kelp and drink slowly, mixing each mouthful with saliva.
Evening: Herbal teas only–e.g. peppermint, chamomile, pau d’arco, or blends.
NOTE: You may feel a little weak or have a few symptoms the first couple of days; this will pass. Clarity and feeling good should appear by day 3 or 4, if not before. If during this diet, you start to feel weak or hungry, assess your water intake and elimination; if needed, you can eat a small portion of protein food (3-4 ounces) in the mid-afternoon. This could be fish; free-range, organic chicken; or some beans, such as lentil, garbanzo, mung, or black beans.
