News Your body already knows how to detox; you just need to turn on the right cues to make it happen. Here's how, with a 14-day plan that will change your life forever.
Time to detox and cleanse? Don't go with a fad diet that makes promises you can't keep (all juice, all the time—sound familiar?). Instead, turn to Samantha Heller for a program that really works.
Cleanses, detoxes, and other purifying practices have been around for hundreds of years, from fasting to juicing and everything in between. Not all of them are tried-and-true, and most aren't scientifically sound. But finally, here it the only cleanse you'll ever need. The Only Cleanse is uniquely designed to fully integrate, elevate, and reestablish the body's biochemical balance. Heller uses a five-pronged approach that covers diet, stress, emotions, exercise, and sleep. She also reviews existing detox plans and explains the pros and cons, further emphasizing why her plan is the only one you need.
I'll give this 4 stars because it distills a lot of the good food science into one reference and is fairly well designed for pleasurable reading.
I am bummed that she promotes canola oil (but it was 2015) and that she "buries the lede"-- this sh*t is vegan, yo. Except yogurt. I can't believe in a plan that excepts (that is, does not accept) eggs. Silly. She also essentially demonizes salt with almost no discussion of the potassium-sodium balance. And after focusing on the benefits of fermented and probiotic foods, she includes only yogurt in the daily plans. (Kraut? Kombucha? Kimchee?)
The recipes seem decent. The plans are adequate but lacking in the bulk from veggies that I personally need to keep from feeling as though I am starving.
Decent reference; plan itself seems to be for rich people. Found at the Dollar Store. Hmmmm.
