Body Detoxifying Diet Basics

Crinnion explains that most diet plans don’t work because they overlook an important factor; our exposure to toxins from the food we eat and our environment. He says that no matter how much you diet or exercise, you will have difficulty losing weight if you have a high level of toxins in your body.

Clean, Green, and Lean is designed to help you reduce your toxic burden and this will allow you to naturally let go of unwanted pounds. Crinnion recommends several methods that you can use to Detoxify your body.

He encourages the intake of organic foods and gives guidelines as to those fruit and vegetables that you must buy organic as well as those that are not as important. This can help to make it more affordable to eat a diet where pesticide exposure is significantly reduced.

He also provides advice about supplements that can assist the body to eliminate heavy metals and other poisons. In addition he recommends the use of colonics and saunas to rapidly aid in detoxifying the body.

The information in Clean, Green, and Lean will also help you identify and eliminate toxic substances around your home. It also includes a two-week meal plan with recipes.
