Cleansing or Fasting - Help!

I just feel blah and think I need a good cleansing of the body. With the weather and time change plus my eating habits which have been really bad, I think I need some help. I am also trying to detox from carbs. Does anyone know of a good menu to help? Or do you think fasting would be better? Any ideas/sugguestions would be appreciated! Valerie

I find three days of eating nothing but dense protein will kill the craving for carbs. I don't limit the amount I eat, but it usually ends up around 4 oz of dense protein. If I want a snack I eat a piece of cheese or 10 almonds. I don't think fasting is healthy, but that's just my opinion. I think it sets us up to slow the metabolism down even further. Best of luck to you!

What would a typical menu be for you of dense protein.

I sent you an e-mail response which came back so I decided to just reply to your message. This is high in fat but all I can say is it doesn't show up in my blood work. I've gone off my cholestrol medication and have a reading of 140-150 eating a high fat diet most of the time. Typical day on my getting back to basics menu Breakfast Bacon Eggs Lunch 4 oz roasted chicken Dinner 4 oz steak (pork chop, pork loin, hamburger) Snack 10 almonds or slice of cheese Best of luck!

Thanks Pat for your response - I am going to concentrate on proteins only. I did Adkins before my surgery and did really well detoxing myself from carbs so I think this will work! Thanks for the support! Valerie

Thank you for posting and the response. I am in the same boat. thanks again. Ann

Hey Ann - I got the diet plan for the "Quick Weight Loss Center" - it is supposed to help. One of my Texas OH used it - I will be glad to send it to you if you want.

Would you mind sending it to me, brnballew @ Aol.com
