Description
Most people think of dietary detoxes as bland starvation strategies that leave them feeling hungry and deprived— after which they will binge on all the foods they have been trying to avoid. Audrey Johns created this detox plan for the readers on her popular blog, Lose Weight By Eating, because she wanted to encourage people to eat for their cravings, not deprive themselves. This crave-worthy detox arms readers with their favorite naughty recipes made over so nice that they’re actually healthier for you than any fancy juice cleanse. Audrey’s detox quickly became the most popular page on the website, with people writing in to say they’d lost large amounts of weight, some up to 18 pounds in a single week!
In Lose Weight by Eating: Detox Week, Audrey has taken her popular online post one step further and turned it into an expanded, customizable plan that will accelerate weight loss and help raise metabolism naturally. In this program, you’ll abstain from any food or drink that is not natural, you’ll replace fried foods with baked, sugars will be minimized, and carbohydrates will be replaced with healthier versions. We’ll set aside the alcoholic beverages and introduce some festive mocktails, but most important, you’ll fill your diet with food that actually helps ride the body of toxins.
This is not a fast. This is a chance to reset your view on food and shed pounds without feeling deprived. Audrey lays out 4 plans to choose from and provides a Detox Quiz to help you find the best plan for you. All the plans work together so you can try one and perhaps work up to a harder plan in time. The plans include:
• Detox Diet Week: the original 7-day plan by which readers lose an average of 10 pounds.
• Detox Diet Month: this 30-day plan is great for losing the last 10 to 25 pounds you’ve been trying to lose for years.
• The 3 Month Detox Diet Power Weight Lose Plan: this plan is a great way to drop weight fast, and you can expect to lose up to 50 pounds in 90 days!
• The Detox Lifestyle: this 365-day plan is ideal for all ages and stages of life, and it’s a great way to maintain your current weight after weight loss.
Each plan will include exercise goals, recommended hours of sleep, and mediation, as well as how much to drink daily. Filled with 125 recipes, many fast and easy enough to make any day of the week, Lose Weight by Eating: Detox Week will contain delicious crave-worthy recipes such as:
