Five-Day Nutritious Liquids Fast

My book, Ten Days to Optimal Health: A Guide to Nutritional Therapy and Colon Cleansing, is a program designed to assist you to lose weight and be truly healthier both physically and emotionally from your weight loss program. The three ten-day periods of lifestyle changes, followed by a five-day nutritious liquids fast, guide a person to feel better in their body. When you feel GOOD, it is easier to make those day-to-day choices that make keeping the weight off easier.

Fasting and fast weight loss can often be harmful to the organs of elimination, such as the colon, the skin, and the kidneys, as well as harmful to the liver. When you fast to lose weight, you can end up with digestive troubles, heartburn, headaches, dry skin, constipation, and more.

Book excerpt:

I strongly advise that you do not partake of a fast without preparing, especially if you are already ill. I have seen too many people come out of a fast with a new set of chronic symptoms. The amount of stored-up toxins that can be released into the blood stream can do serious damage not only to your liver, but also to your entire body. Due to the high amount of toxins that we are exposed to today, fasting is best preceded by a cleansing diet. Please consult your physician before you begin a fast.

Fasting has been a powerful healing tool for many peoples throughout the ages, but as we have read, fasting must be integrated with other elements of a good life. Few people realize just how many toxins are stored in each and every one of our cells due to our modern lifestyles. Toxic chemicals pose an elevated cancer risk to two-thirds of Americans living in nearly every part of the United States. Even the United States Environmental Protection Agency, whose standards are much lower than they need to be, has stated that toxic chemicals threaten each and every person in this country. It is also known that plastic by-products can be detected in the blood of EVERY human on the planet, and these do not degrade, nor does the body have the ability to get rid of these without proper nutrients and treatment.

A Fasting Experience That Will Change the Way You Feel

Because many people have lost the art of living well and because there are so many toxins in our environment, most people equate misery with the idea of fasting. For my clients, this is not the case. When you prepare for a fast, as you have with the OHC Plan, you realize that a fast can be rejuvenating and even thrilling. The fasting experience laid out in this book can change the way you feel about your body, your power to choose what you eat, and your ability to tell how different foods make you feel. After a fast, YOU CAN TELL THAT YOU FEEL HEALTHIER. Feeling healthier makes you want to keep feeling healthier. Often, after this five-day liquid diet, you feel so much healthier that you commit to always eating well.

The Joy of Fasting

Every client I work with that follows this 35-day plan is always amazed at how great they feel, how stable their blood sugar is and how much energy they have during the fasting process. Here’s why:

• They have prepared their body for the fasting process
• They are cleaning out their colon
• They are ingesting an assortment of nutritious supplements
that are assisting their body with detoxification
• They are eating raw fats and proteins and not starving their body
• They are drinking one-half gallon to one whole gallon of nutritious liquids in addition to their daily water intake

In total, this is an easy fast that will lead to better health.
