Details

This detox will focus on helping to remove toxins from the body, in a very nurturing way. There are small meals and snacks involved, but we will be consuming way less . Our body detoxes naturally, but when we help with this process, it can improve and optimize our body’s own detoxification system. We do this by refueling the body with healthy nutrients and stay clear from anything that may get in the way of that. During the detox period we will eliminate any inflammatory foods like added sugar, salt, oil, gluten, alcohol, caffeine, preservatives and really any processed foods.

This Breathe Detox is organic, vegan and gluten free.

We encourage you to recruit your spouse, significant other and friends to join the detox with you.

The more support you have, the better you will do.

Proper Storage: Raw juice and food is extremely perishable and must be stored under 40 degrees Fahrenheit at all times. Use coolers and ice packs when traveling or if you won’t be home or able to refrigerate your juice right away.

Pre-Cleanse Prep

Congratulations on making the decision to treat your body to a cleanse! Detoxing the body is a great way to give your body’s system a “tune-up”, clear your head, improve your quality of sleep, get a great head start on weight loss and increase your overall energy levels. Whether you decided to do the 3 day or the 5 day cleanse, we want to give you some strategies to ensure you have a great experience.  You will want to start eating cleaner the week before so you can ease into the cleanse and hopefully avoid some uncomfortable cleanse symptoms (headaches, lethargy and upset stomach).

At least 3 days before the cleanse begins, you should avoid…

  • Animal products (chicken, red meat, fish, eggs)
  • Dairy (cheese, cow’s milk, yogurt)
  • Artificial sweeteners
  • Processed sugar, high fructose corn syrup
  • Processed foods (pasta, bread, soy products, pre-packaged foods such as salads, soups and dressings)
  • Coffee and black tea (switch to green tea one week before the cleanse, then remove all caffeine two days before)
  • Alcohol
  • Soda
  • Refined flour
  • Fried foods
  • Table salt
  • Eating before bed or overeating (large portions, “seconds”) at meal time
  • Stressful situations

Below are some things that you should enjoy!

  • Fruit
  • Smoothies with a water, coconut water or plant milk base (almond, oat, hemp)
  • Fresh pressed juices
  • Raw nuts (unsalted preferably)
  • Raw, steamed or roasted veggies
  • Salads and greens
  • Sweet potatoes and other root vegetables
  • Salad dressings (homemade with tahini, lemon, cashew cream, mustard, apple cider vinegar, etc..)
  • Vegetable soups
  • Lentils, chickpeas, black beans
  • Stevia, agave, maple syrup (limited / small portions)
  • Olive oil, coconut oil (limited / small portions)
  • fresh herbs
  • Hot water with lemon, herbal tea
  • At least 8 cups of water a day
  • Eat smaller portions until satisfied, but do not over eat
  • light to moderate exercise, meditation
  • Aim for 8 or more hours of sleep per night

What can I expect during the Cleanse/Detox?

You can expect to feel differently during the cleanse. You may feel tired, irritable, emotional, hungry, feel like you are getting a cold and may experience body aches, night sweats or minor breakouts. Don’t freak out! These are all signs the cleanse is working. You are getting rid of all of those toxins in your body… the point of a detox. You may not experience all of these symptoms, but we have you covered if you do. Below are some strategies to help keep you in your best form and to decrease the severity of some of these detox symptoms during the cleanse.

  • Drink plenty of water! Wake up and pour yourself a glass. Aim to drink about 64 ounces of water (8 cups) a day during the cleanse or half of your body weight in ounces. If you are exercising, you may need a bit more water.
  • Get plenty of sleep. Aim for 8 or more hours of sleep per night.
  • No alcohol.
  • Avoid caffeine. If you can’t completely abstain from caffeine, consider having a small serving of matcha or green tea. If you are really struggling with removing caffeine from your diet, take this opportunity to reflect on your body’s dependency and consider reducing your caffeine intake post-cleanse.
  • Plan to incorporate light to moderate exercise during the cleanse, sweating can actually help remove toxins. Listen to your body and take breaks and rest when you need to. Make sure you have water with you to ensure that you stay hydrated and maybe one of the suggested snacks if you feel like you need it. If you are not up to working out, take a rest day!
  • We suggest keeping a daily log throughout the cleanse period to document your experience. This will provide insight as to how the cleanse made you feel and provide motivation to move forward with healthier habits. It is important to identify why you decided to do the cleanse in the first place and what your goals are. It will also be nice look back on the log to help you prepare for a future cleanse. You will now be equipped with information on how your body was feeling on certain days and even certain times throughout the day. For example, you may have realized that eating your lunch later in the day helped keep you satisfied longer. You may have realized that some of our pre-cleanse symptoms have vanished (e.g. bloating, constipation, sugar cravings, low energy, etc…). We have included a Daily Log for you, you will receive it on Day 1 when you pick up your detox items!
  • Plan ahead and have healthy snacks available during your cleanse so they are available if you need them. Listen to your body and refuel when needed. With that said, only snack during the cleanse when needed. You want your body to actually detox and not have to work on digesting so much food.
  • It is recommended to not have any snacks after your dinner juice so that your body can detox and have time to digest before breakfast, but of course listen to your body, have healthy snacks available and stay hydrated.

Healthy Snacks (if you need more fuel between your quinoa bowl/lunch and your juice/dinner)[1]

  • Fresh fruit (orange, apple with cinnamon, pear, pineapple, watermelon, fresh berries)
  • Fresh veggies (carrots, peppers, celery, cucumber, raw broccoli, raw cauliflower) with mashed avocado

Don’t hesitate to email connect@breatherhinebeck.com to check in and let us know how you are feeling and if you have any questions. After the cleanse, you may notice that your skin is brighter, you are sleeping better, your are in a better mood, your clothes are fitting better and energy levels have improved.

We are so excited to be taking this journey with you!

Post-Cleanse

If you are reading this section, that means you have completed the cleanse!

Congratulations! Your body is hopefully thanking you with a clearer mind, sharper focus, your are feeling lighter, your clothes are fitting better, you have brighter eyes and skin to match, your mood is lifted, anxiety levels are down and you feel clean on the inside. You may even see some positive differences in your quality of sleep, bowel movements, energy level and the way you look!

So, how do you stay on track when the cleanse is over?

Let’s start with looking back and thinking about why you signed up for this cleanse in the first place. What were your goals? Did you reach them or did you at least do some work towards them? Did you notice some other changes along the way that you didn’t expect? If the answer is yes to some or all of those questions, then you need to think about how you can stay on track and incorporate healthier habits into your lifestyle so you can continue to feel and look great.

Planning your immediate post-cleanse meals is a crucial step to staying on track so you don’t undo all of the cleansing you did for your body! Enjoy how your body feels and be picky about what you let back in. You worked so hard! You deserve to feel good.

Choose organic foods. We just got rid of so many toxins from our body, we don’t want to add them all back in! Pesticides, fungicides, herbicides, and insecticides are widely used in conventional agriculture and we certainly do not want to put all those toxins into our clean body! Organic food is also often fresher because there are no preservatives added to make them last longer. Organic, especially plant based foods are also good for the environment. Yes, they are more expensive, but you are worth it. There are other things in life that you can cut back on, don’t choose the food you put in your body. You are worth it, start making your health a priority.

Keep your portions small.

Eat slowly. Be sure to chew your foods thoroughly so it is easily digested.

Stay hydrated. Continue to stay hydrated post cleanse. Sometimes we think we are really hungry when we are just really dehydrated. Always drink water before you sit down for a meal and have plenty of water throughout the day.

Avoid sugar, coffee, alcohol, wheat, gluten, dairy, meats and processed foods. All of these foods make your digestive system (your organs) work extra hard to break them down. Some of these foods are inflammatory and they will most likely effect your mood, may increase anxiety, make you feel sluggish, and some have even been linked to skin related problems, gastrointestinal issues, cancer, diabetes, heart disease and more…. the list goes on and on!

Post Cleanse – Day 1
The first day after the cleanse you will want to start with introducing foods back into your diet that are easily digestible and most importantly – CLEAN! Most of the foods referenced in the Pre-Cleanse Prep. Fresh or steamed vegetables, salads, avocados, nuts, olive oil, coconut oil, spices, etc…) are all great options when thinking about your next meal and/or snacks following the cleanse.

Post Cleanse – Day 2
The second day after the cleanse you can start introducing grains, beans, vegetable soup and other foods like sweet potatoes.

Post Cleanse – Day 3 and beyond

The third day and beyond you are hopefully enjoying healthier foods and your body is responding well. After the cleanse, eating a well balance and filling meal will feel like a cheat meal! With that said, and being realistic, you are going to reintroduce some of the foods you enjoyed prior to the cleanse (even if they may not be the healthiest, but we need to sometimes have those foods in our lives too). The key is to think about how you can add them in occasionally so your body will still be getting mostly nutritious foods, most of the time.

Introduce foods that were in your diet before the cleanse one at a time and slowly. Keep a small food log and take note of how your body feels and/or reacts in the first hour and then a few hours later. What do you notice? It may surprise you that some foods that you know to be healthy, may just not sit well with you. You may still be able to enjoy these foods, but maybe you will limit them or try different ways to prepare them or what you will pair these foods with.

Below are some things to think about if and when you do reintroduce some of the foods that are not so great for your body.

Processed foods: Continue to aim towards having whole foods vs. processed foods most of the time. When you do add in processed foods like bread and pasta, look for gluten free pasta varieties or sprouted grains when choosing a bread option. Try eating more grains like quinoa, millet and try different varieties of rice.

Animal protein: If you were consuming meat in your diet prior to the cleanse, consider cutting back and having it only a few nights a week. Try eating more plant based sources of protein like lentils, chickpeas, black beans, kidney beans, tofu, tempeh, edamame, hemp seeds, almonds, quinoa, greens like broccoli and kale, peanuts, almonds, chia seeds, and spirulina. There are many obvious health reasons why animal protein should be limited or eliminated from your diet, but what most people don’t realize, is how harmful it is to our environment.

Dairy: If you were consuming diary products in your diet prior to the cleanse, consider cutting back. Most dairy products are highly processed. Consider replacing your dairy products with alternative plant based sources. You may notice many of your ailments disappear when you eliminate dairy from your diet. There are so many healthier alternatives (nut, hemp and oat milks, nut based and vegetable based butters, nut based cheeses, etc. ) available. While these alternatives are also processed foods, they may be healthier alternatives depending on which products you are choosing. It is also very easy to make your own nut milk at home.

Alcohol: If you are consuming alcohol, limit your consumption and frequency so your liver can take a break and you can keep the symptoms of consuming alcohol to a minimum. When consuming too much alcohol, it can interrupt your sleep which can lead to anxiety, depression and fatigue. It may also cause gastrointestinal issues, headaches, muscle aches, sensory discomforts (i.e. sensitivity to light, vertigo) and impact cognitive functions like decreased attention and concentration.

Caffeine: If you quit coffee for the cleanse, consider sticking with it! The worst is over. Challenge yourself to keep going. Notice your energy levels. Even though you may miss the ritual or the comfort of your morning coffee, do you miss the afternoon crash, the head fog, irritability or the headache when you haven’t had your coffee? Consider trying Matcha, a healthy and natural caffeine that is cleaner without the crash. There are different ways to prepare it and it can be quite satisfying. Some of the benefits of matcha powder include a hefty dose of antioxidants which help reduce cell damage and prevent chronic disease, linked to preventing cancer, may promote healthy cholesterol levels, strengthen your bones and keep you focused throughout the day! There are some delicious herbal teas as well. If you didn’t give up coffee during the cleanse, but cut back, consider keeping things the way they are. You already proved to yourself that you can live without it.
