The Liver Cleansing Diet is a detox regime created by Dr. Sandra Cabot to effectively cleanse the liver.
The liver is just one of many essential organs that naturally detox the body. In fact, the liver acts as a filter for removing or breaking down toxins like ammonia, drugs, alcohol, and other chemicals to which we’re exposed in the modern world, but when overloaded with toxins it is no longer able to effectively fulfill its job as in house cleaner. Thus people begin to experience problems with digestion, allergies, excessive weight gain, chronic fatigue and much more.
This detox diet follows several basic ideas: stick to raw organic fruits and vegetables, no refined sugars or processed foods, and absolutely no caffeine. These regulations are thought to provide all essential nutrients and calories while not overwhelming the liver and thus allowing it to rid itself of accumulated toxins.
This diet must be strictly adhered to in order to be a success. A meal plan for the full month on this diet can be found in Dr. Cabot’s book The Liver Cleansing Diet.
Breakfast
Rusher’s Shake: Blend rice milk, crushed ice (made from purified water), banana slices, strawberries and pineapple
Lunch
Avocado, Mango, and Lime Salad. Mix organic lettuce, avocado slices, mango, green capsicum, red capsicum, shallots, parsley and chives.
Dinner
Grilled Salmon. Salmon rubbed with extra virgin olive oil, dill, and lemon juice. Serve with a green salad.

Weekends are often difficult to make nutritional changes, so try making some changes Monday through Friday. It is remarkably easier packing yourself a different [...]
Seasonal Cooking: Just Do it!
Did you ever wonder why you crave cabbage soup in the fall; sweet potatoes in the winter, and why strawberries and peaches are on your mind in the summer?
