Inner and Outer Beauty
A 14 days detox and weight loss or weight gain program.
I bet you are thinking the previous statement contradicts itself? However, in holistic Chinese medicine over or under weight, are two sides of the same coin. In other words the spleen, pancreas, stomach and liver “ the digestive system” are out of balance.
In this diet we are supporting and bringing “the digestive system” to equilibrium. For optimal absorption, utilization and metabolism we need enzymes from fermented and sprouted foods along with unrefined organic mineral rich foods.
Facilitators – Chinta MacKinnon & Aviva Engel
Besides weight gain or loss, this diet is beneficial for other health challenges like acid reflux, indigestion, gas and bloating, gallbladder and kidney stones, fatty liver, irritable bowel syndrome, gluten sensitivity, and heart diseases.
In these fourteen days you will gain skills to prepare foods, while having hands on experience.
In this Diet, you take pleasure in eating unprocessed, unrefined whole some foods, which naturally will help you to cleanse, feel strong, nourished and balance your weight and health.
Diet Outline
Day 1 thru 3
In the first three days we are cleansing and purifying the body through an Ayuvedic “Kicharee Cleanse”. This consists of grains, beans and legumes, a perfect protein combination to initiate easing off from the normal diet.
Acquire a variety of skills to prepare different green vegetables using good oils or no fats. Experience fermented foods and their beneficial enzymes contributing to a smooth digestion, absorption and utilization.
Also, look while having a personal experience into the benefits and healing properties of this Ayuvedic diet.
During these three days we will be using herbal formulas and teas to cleanse and strengthen the spleen and stomach.
Day 4 thru 6
In the next days our intention is to slow down the digestive system with lighter foods, enabling the body to use its own fat reserves. This approach will pull out toxins and plaque from the tissues, cells and arteries.
Start out the day with warming, stimulating and cleansing teas and drinks. Delight yourself with delicious smoothies filled with warming, revitalizing and cleansing whole foods and herbs.
Nourish your core with a tasty variety of fresh prepared vegetables in an enriched, mineral soup for lunch and dinner. In this time the teas and tinctures will be targeting the liver and gallbladder to cleanse and replenish.
Day 7 thru 9
The next three days our focus is nourishing our deepest core by revitalizing the kidneys, where our life force resides.
In this process we will be building our mineral, vitamins and bone strength, with specific herbs, from liquid broth tonics made from bones and marrow of animals. Herbal teas and tinctures will be reinforcing the kidneys and bladder.
Day 10 thru 14
Last and not least, most importantly, a slow integration of foods back into the digestive system; from broth to vegetable soup to vegetable, grains and Kicheree. Which will help you integrate and merge, what you experienced and learned into your daily food choices.
