Fall Cleanse Starting Now!

September 18th, 2012

Hi Everyone,

Last week a friend of mine asked me to pass along the Liver Cleanse protocol I follow a couple of times a year.  While we ran together a couple of days later, she shared that she was in the process of 

doing the cleanse.  This inspired me to partake in my own cleanse.  Yesterday, I started following  the Liver Cleanse protocol. For those of you who haven't tried it before, it is a very gentle cleanse.  I will post the protocol at the end of this entry.  In addition to doing the regular protocol which is geared toward spring, I thought it would be fun to add a fall quality to it.  Here is what I am going to try.

• Adding more autumn harvest vegetables such as winter squash, brussels sprouts, onions, sweet potatoes.  Of course I will be having lots of dark leafy greens as well.
• Making baked apples a treat
• Adding more soups like butternut squash to my week

In addition to the food part of the cleanse, I am in the process of "cleansing my house" also called decluttering.  It is amazing how much stuff accumulates and how good it feels to clear it.

Here is the Liver Protocol as promised:
In the morning, rise and drink a shot of 1/2 cup of fresh lemon juice, 1 tbsp extra virgin olive oil (organic is best), pinch of cayenne.  If the amounts are too much for you, try the juice of 1/2 lemon and 1 tsp of olive oil with the pinch of cayenne.  Let this sit in your stomach before having anything else.

Drink 1-2 glasses of water.
During this cleanse time ( the duration is up to, one week -10 days is great), avoid coffee, sugar, alcohol and white flour.  Consume lots of veggies and veggie soups.  Do your best to avoid processed foods.

Remember what a gift this is to your body!
If you would like to join me in this, please do!  If you write in, I will give you support through your process.

Enjoy the quietness of this much needed rainy day!
