Is a Liver Cleanse Recipe Necessary For YOU? - About Your Liver  

One size fits all never works for a healthy eating plan or liver cleanse recipe.

For many, weight loss is impossible without first doing a natural liver detox program.

Not only that, you could be gaining weight due to a liver that is not functioning properly!

Take the Liver Quiz below to see if your liver needs help!

Your liver is the second largest organ in your body with over 500 functions. It plays a critical role in maintaining blood sugar levels and acts as a secondary line of immune defense against infection.

It's main functions are to process and eliminate toxins from the body and to process food nutrients, as well as transforming carbohydrates into glycogen to be stored for energy. It produces bile which is stored in the gall bladder, to emulsify and aid in the digestion of fats. It also makes cholesterol to transport fats through the body.

However, due to the amount of chemicals we are exposed to and a diet that is not always healthy, the liver is often abused and has a hard time functioning up to par.

Having any of these symptoms indicate that a liver cleanse recipe is a good idea for you 

• Skin problems, such as acne, eczema
• Head aches or migraines
• Hemorrhoids
• Nausea
• Difficulty in digesting fats
• Feeling tired, or depressed
• Feeling angry, or irritable
• Hot flashes during menopause
• Gas
• salt or sweet cravings, even right after a meal
• Constipation
• High cholesterol
• Food allergies
•  PMS symptoms

How to Prepare For Your Liver Cleanse Recipe 

Below are a couple of plans for a liver cleanse recipe.

Please note:

A liver cleanse recipe or detox should never be done when the body is in a weakened state. You need to first boost yourself up, and then do the detox. If you need help in doing this please work with me for a consultation. If you have a cold or infection ensure that you heal that first and that you are 100% healthy before starting any detox. 

To help my clients lose weight with detox, I find the right plan for their body type, the right detox products for their metabolism and any supplements that will assist them.

It is often essential necessary to take extra fiber. If you are not eliminating 2 - 3 times per day it is best to start with adding in lots of extra fiber to your diet, at least a week before and gradually increasing the amount.

*You will be eliminating toxins from your body, so you want to ensure they're leaving the body! 

Never use a laxative as this will make the digestive system lazy.

You can use dried prunes or psyllium husks are excellent. You can find psyllium hulls at the health food store. This just naturally adds extra fiber to your diet so it is very healthy.  

Start with 1/4 tsp in one full 8 oz glass of water followed by a 2nd glass of water and then after a few days. (or a week if you are very constipated, (ie going less than once every day.)  Then increase to 1/2 tsp in a glass of water, followed by a 2nd glass of water. 

Continue this way increasing up to the right amount for you so that your bowels are moving 2 - 3 times per day. Some people may need 1/2 tsp others may need 2 - 3 Tablespoons. Everyone is different. 

*Always ensure you take the psyllium 3 hours before or after any medication or other supplements.

* Always decrease the amount gradually again, although you can take psyllium hulls indefinitely sprinkle some on your cereal, add it to yogurt, drink it in water, etc. 

You may also want to take an antioxidant and CoQ10 enzymes when following a natural liver cleanse recipe.

*Prepare the body for a fast or detox by slowly cutting out heavier foods, and eventually eating only vegetables and fruits. And always break a fast starting with only fruits and vegetables (these can be juiced.) Slowly introduce more solid foods one at a time.

Natural Liver Cleanse Diet

• More green foods, dark leafy greens
• Eliminate gluten
• Eliminate sugar
• Eliminate trans fats
• Reduce animal protein, replace by beans, some fish or high quality protein powder
• Note that people with Type O blood need more protein than Type As and ABs
• Do a lot of juicing and drink plenty of pure water with freshly squeezed lemon juice.

Liver gall bladder cleanse

I did this cleanse many years ago at a special fasting center. It had a very powerful impact both physically and emotionally. I didn't tell anyone at work what I had done. When I returned to work after doing the fast and cleanse on my vacation, everyone remarked on the positive changes they saw and felt I had undergone.

My skin and my whole body were glowing!

I had also simply let go of a lot of negative energy in my body physically and emotionally by doing a detox. I was lighter in body and soul. 

This is exactly what we did:

Fast on fresh pressed raw apple juice for 24 - 72 hours. 
(this is apple juice you make yourself with organic apples and a juicer.)
Take magnesium and a supplement to support the liver, such as milk thistle or work with me to learn about the best liver supplements for you. 
Prior to bed, drink 1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil mixed with 1/2 cup freshly squeezed lemon or grapefruit juice.
Lay on your right side 1/2 hour before going to sleep.
If bowels don't move in the morning, take an enema or do a colon irrigation.

This works better for Type A blood types or Type AB. Type O blood types usually don't do very well with fasting as they need more protein. Also not good for anyone with hypoglycemia or diabetes. 10 day fast using: 2 tbsp Organic Maple Syrup (high quality) 2 tbsp Fresh Squeezed Organic Lemon Juice 1/10 tsp Organic Cayenne pepper Mix with pure spring water - 10 - 12 oz or more

I did a liver cleanse recipe - fast like this for a few days and was able to function well, go to work and felt fine. 10 days would of course require more rest and less work.
