PART 1: WHY DETOX?

ABOUT TOXINS

Pg. 6

PART 1: WHY DETOX?

What are Toxins?Toxins are simply chemicals or poisons that are known to have harmful effects on your body. Many get stored in your fat cells.

There are 2 main sources of toxins:

1. Toxins made outside your body. Examples: Alcohol, drugs, pesticides, food additives, etc.

2. Toxins produced inside of your body. Examples: CO2, Lactic Acid, etc.

Your organs naturally remove toxins from your body.

But you can help your organs with their job.

PART 1: WHY DETOX?

These are some of the primary detoxifying organs our bodies have:1. Liver2. Colon3. Lymph4. Kidneys5. Skin6. Lungs

HELP YOUR ORGANS

We can support our body’s ability get rid of toxins through 2 primary methods:1. Stop consuming toxins

2. Give our detoxifying organs as many useful nutrients as we can to help them run more optimally.

Pg. 7

PART 1: WHY DETOX?

Lets take a look at your liver as your example to explain how certain foods can help you detox.

CERTAIN FOODS WILL IMPROVE YOUR DETOXIFICATION SYSTEM

Phase 1 pathway:

• This pathway converts toxic chemicals into less harmful chemicals.

• During this process, free radicals are produced, which can damage the liver.

• Antioxidants reduce this damage. Glutathione is the main antioxidant that reduces this damage.

• Foods like pomegranates, beets, turmeric, wheatgrass, moringa, spirulina, etc. help boost your glutathione levels.

Phase 2 pathway:

• This pathway adds a substance (e.g. amino acids) to a toxin to make it water-soluble so your body can get rid of it through urine or bile.

• Foods like spirulina and pea protein powder are high in amino acids, which will help with this process.

Pg. 8

You Liver detoxifies itself through 2 phases (or “pathways”).

PART 1: WHY DETOX?

Many toxins are fat soluble, which means if they are not removed by your detoxifying organs, they get stored in your

fat where they may reside for years.

TOXIN STORAGE

Pg. 9

Your detoxification organs try to prevent this from happening, but they don’t catch everything – especially when they are not running optimally.

If you have a lot of toxins stored in your body as fat, then losing weight will release these toxins from your fat cells to be removed from your

body.

This is one of the reasons why many fat loss plans also will include a detox component.

PART 1: WHY DETOX? Pg. 10

There are a lot of reasons why some bloggers do not believe in detoxes. Here are the 3 reasons that are valid:

1. Misleading advertising. A lot of products are marketed as “detox miracles”, but are far from it. It is completely overused and misused for marketing gains. This belief is absolutely true. But the issue here is not that “detox’s are bull*shit” (as one blogger’s headline read), It’s that many companies try to sell “bull*shit” products. Good detox products are ones that provide the nutrients to help your detoxifying organs work better,

2. Bad detox plans. Remember from the welcome message at the beginning of this guide how googling for “detox plans” resulted in 13 million results? That’s a problem. Anyone can create a detox plan and many of the people creating these plans do not know what they are doing and are providing plans that actually cause more harm than good.

3. A detox is a short term accelerator and not a long term strategy. It is true that most detox plans are “challenges” or “resets”. They are short term accelerators, but not something you are going to follow long-term. You need a long term strategy on how to incorporate a healthier ongoing lifestyle of consuming nutritious foods and reducing the amount of toxins you consume. This guide offers both a plan for a short term accelerator as well as a long term strategy.

SOME DO NOT BELIEVE IN DETOXES. WHY?

PART 1: WHY DETOX? Pg. 11

Short term accelerators are things that help, but that you are unlikely to sustain doing long-term.

SHORT TERMS ACCELERATORSVS. LONG TERM STRATEGY

Very common short term accelerators are things like:

1. Food Restrictions (e.g. “don’t eat …”)

2. Meal Plans (e.g. “eat this exact meal …”)

3. Boot Camps

4. Challenges

5. Detoxes

6. “Resets”

7. Medical Procedures: (e.g. Lipo)

Short term accelerators can be beneficial in helping you jump start a health objective. But do not get confused – they are not long term strategies.

Almost every “detox diet” you have ever seen is a short term accelerator –they are things you can challenge yourself to do for 5 days or even a month.

This guide provides a 5 Day Detox Acceleration Plan as well as a long term strategy for better health.

If your long term goal happens to be weight loss, then you will want to do the 5 Day Detox Acceleration, but then refer to our Fat Loss Guide for a long term strategy to fat loss.

PART 1: WHY DETOX? Pg. 12

There are many different types of detox strategies that are possible – typically based on the detoxifying organ you want to focus on. If you’re an ex-smoker and want to work to detoxify your lungs – there are detoxification strategies that will help you with this.

Our detoxification strategy focuses on your liver, your colon, and stored toxins in your fat cells.

We achieve this by incorporating 4 things:

1. Stop consuming toxins. During our detox, you will be consuming mostly just fruits, vegetables, and water.

2. Drink targeted superfood smoothies. We have you drinking superfood smoothie recipes that uses ingredients shown to benefit your liver and colon.

3. Calorie reduction will help aid in fat loss; which helps release stored toxins.

4. 6 hour window (optional). Consume all your calories within a 6 hour window every day (e.g. eat at noon and at 6pm). This is also called “short term intermittent fasting”. During a fasted state, your body will burn fat as energy and help accelerate fat loss.

We provide you with a 5 Day Detox plan, which is used as a short term accelerator. We then provide you with a long term strategy to better health as well.

PART 2: WHY SUPERFOOD SMOOTHIES?

IMPORTANCE OF NUTRITION

When you are doing a detox, you need to consume as many nutrients as possible that are going to help your detoxifying organs work better.

Most of these nutrients are found in fruits and vegetables – which are very simple to incorporate in a smoothie.

Another method we utilize for a detox plan is to release stored body fat – which means the detox plan has you cutting calories. This releases stored toxins within fat cells.

Pg. 14

Superfood Smoothies are:1.) Low Calorie

2.) Packed with Nutrients3.) Keep you Full

1. Common foods are things like blueberries, cherries, walnuts, apples, pears, lemons, etc.

2. Superfoods are things like flax seeds, cacao, turmeric, ginger, etc. These foods score very high across many different health conditions (which is why they are considered “super”).

PART 3: A PLAN YOU CAN FOLLOW Pg. 24

5 DAY DETOXEATING PLAN

This is the plan for a 5 Day Detox Challenge. It is a short term accelerator to help accelerate detoxification.

Required:1. Drink as many smoothies as you desire for 5 days. No other food.2. Drink lots of water and/or green tea throughout the day. You can also

drink black coffee and add lemon or lime to your water.

Optional:1. Eat everything in a 6-8 Hour Window

• Also known as short term, intermittent fasting• No calories outside of this window• Example: if you consume all your calories between noon -6pm, then you have achieved

this goal. Many people will skip breakfast, eat lunch at noon and then eat dinner at 6pm.

• During a fasted state, benefits include: decreased insulin levels, increased human growth hormone levels (anti-aging hormone), decreases cholesterol and triglycerides, increases immune system function, and BURNS STORED BODY FAT.

2. Limit yourself to a total of 48oz of superfood smoothie per day. This will help with rapid fat loss. (48oz equals 4 servings of our smoothie recipes)

PART 3: A PLAN YOU CAN FOLLOW Pg. 25

EATING PLANTIPS & ADVICE

1. Eat foods that will help keep your hunger intact (e.g. vegetables, protein, etc.). Not sugars.

2. To help keep you full longer, you can add protein powder to your smoothie. We recommend an organic, non-gmo, plant-based protein with no artificial sweeteners. We have one of the highest quality products available called, “Smoothie Protein” that we highly recommend.

3. Drink lots of water. Coffee or Green Tea is also ok. All of these are appetite suppressants.

4. If you are eating all your calories within a 6 hour window, it is likely that you are then skipping breakfast. This is very hard to do initially. But if you stick with it, it will become easy.

5. Drink a variety of superfood smoothies. The variety will help you consume many different foods with various different benefits. Lookup the recipes that score high for detox (link) and make these more often than others.
