Detox Diet Recipes for the Fatty Liver Detox Diet Program...

The sample Detox Diet Recipes on this webpage will give you a small taste of the type of food you can eat on the Fatty Liver Detox Diet Program.  Some people would be very surprised to see this type of food because when they hear "detox" they automatically think about fasting and all juice detoxes.

Personally, I don't agree with extreme fasting or with all juice detox programs that are too restrictive.  Your body very intelligently stores toxins away safely in our tissues (in particular our fat cells) so that the toxins don't travel around and get deposited in our organs.  This is why extremely calorie restrictive diets are so unhealthy - if the weight is lost too quickly, the toxins get released at the same time and if the body's detoxification systems are not supported correctly, then the body can't keep up with the detoxification and gets overwhelmed. 

That's why following the Fatty Liver Detox Diet Program with Detox Diet Recipes is the best way to lose weight:  the best detox program is one that eliminates junk food and processed food, includes a lot of fresh fruits, vegetables, healthy essential fatty acids and supplements to aid the body to detoxify (and the Detox Diet Recipe e-book helps with delicious recipes using healthy foods full of vitamins and nutrients).  By cutting down on the toxins we take into our bodies, we give our detoxification systems a chance to detox and release the toxins.

This Detox Program and Detox Diet Recipes does also include fresh fruit and vegetable juices, green tea, herbal teas and special Detox Smoothies to accelerate the Detox process, but this is in conjunction with eating a healthy balanced diet which eliminates processed foods, junk foods, preservatives and chemicals and additives.  The juices and smoothies are an integral part of the Detox Program because they enable us to ingest a lot of nutrients and vitamins so essential to aiding the Detox process.

So here is just a small sample of the kind of Detox Diet Recipes you can expect to find on this program...
