6.

Get your probiotics. Lactobacillus
acidophilus is a good bacteria that lines the
gut membranes and aids in eliminating
toxins. You can add the powder form of it
to juices and shakes, or eat it in the form of
sauerkraut or yogurt.

7.

Eat three meals but avoid snacking.
Eating your nutrients in one sitting and
then fasting until your next meal allows
your body to fully and properly digest all of
its food so that it can devote more energy
to cleansing as the digestive system rests.
This also teaches you to cue in to signals
from your brain about when you’re actually
hungry and when you’re just bored.

8.

Increase the cacao percentage of
your dark chocolate. If you’re at 70 per
cent, up it to 80 per cent.

9.

Eat plenty of spices.
Spices like ginger, cinnamon,
cayenne, cumin, and
turmeric are supercleansing
and help your body reach its
natural satiation point earlier.

10.

End the night with
chamomile tea. Not only
does it help with insomnia, it
aids in breaking down your
final meal.
