Liver Cleansing Diet
The Liver Cleansing Diet by Dr. Sandra Cabot, was one of the first detox books written. After release it quickly became a huge bestseller.
After seeing numerous overweight patients, many with sluggish metabolisms, Dr Cabot decided that liver function was impaired – due to poor diet and nutrition.
Dr Cabot claimed that improving liver function led to weight loss. After 2 years of working successfully with 1540 patients she professes a 100% success rate.
Liver Cleanse – Cure for all ills?
The following symptoms are claimed to be alleviated from doing a liver cleanse:
- Abdominal bloating
- Obesity
- Poor digestion
- Frequent fatigue
- Headaches
- Unpleasant moods
- Bad breath and coated tongue
- Irritable Bowel Syndrome
- Sluggish metabolism
- Overburdened immune system
- Excessive body heat
- High cholesterol
- Gall bladder disease
- Fatty liver
- Allergies
- High blood pressure
- Sugar cravings
- Intolerance to alcohol
- Excess alcohol intake
- Inability to lose weight
Dr Cabot seems to attribute poor liver function to a vast range of symptoms, some of which could be diagnosed by any number of conditions. Always consult your doctor before diagnosing or treating yourself with some list or book.
Liver Cleansing in Brief
- The diet is strict, with all vegetables to be eaten raw.
- Recipes are included.
- Liver Cleansing Supplements are recommended.
The premise of this diet is good, but it seems to be too simplistic to blame a single organ for most people’s weight and health issues. Detox diets are useful, but don’t necessary aid or teach you in forming lifelong good eating habits.
There is also a lack of scientific evidence proving that detoxifying diets are as effective as they are claimed.
If you have to continually ‘reach’ for a detox diet, then something in your everyday nutrition and lifestyle is not right.

a must for everbody over 30 , alcoholic or non alcoholic
really interested in this liver cleansing diet and would love to have a copy of this book please
oh also a biggy! no alcohol!!
i am only 18 years old i have no weight problem, im slim and i have a weak immune system and my liver is not working right. note. you do not neccessarilly have to have these symptoms in order to have a bad liver. i experienced this due to all the medication i have been given which made it hard for my liver to fight against the poisons. if you are taking any anibiotics i recommend you get off of them and see a homeopathic doctor. because the anibiotics are not natural for your body and homeopathic medicine is the way to go. my doctor gave me a list of foods to avoid and suggestions for what to eat. AVOID: Pork; Red meat; Chocolate; any cheese exept for white chesses; avoid food coloring; any fried foods; oils and grease; avocado (yea it suprised me too); any colored soft drinks; only drink 2 or 1% milk;no nuts of any kind; Saussage; nothing instant;I cant remember all the rest right now as soon as i get my list again ill write the rest. FOODS RECCOMENDED: Only regular coffee not decaf; fruit; vegies; only whole wheat breads, cereals and bagels ect; any beans may be eaten as long as without pork or saussage; may eat any seafoods; rice cakes; jello;ginger; only natural juices; only organic eggs. i hope this helps like i said this is only a few foods reccomended and avoided but dont worry this is most of them. also anyone interested in cleansing there liver fast i personally reccomend you should look into the ‘liver cocktail’ its not alcoholic. check this site out to find more about it..

I’ve been sober for five days now. I was smoking over 100 cigarettes a day and getting as drunk as I could every night. I think my liver is going to appreciate this.

The diet does NOT require ALL vegetables to be eaten raw in Cabot’s “Liver Cleansing Diet” book. She includes MANY recipes containing obviously COOKED vegetables. While she promotes eating raw vegetables and including raw juices, she does NOT eschew ALL cooked vegetables.
Your information is misleading.
