Introduction I m so excited for you to get started with my detox recipes! The truly amazing thing is that the food we eat contains fuel for our cells that affect and regulate hormones, brain chemistry, and almost every chemical reaction in our bodies by communicating to our genes.

With these foods you will feel more satisfied, never hungry, and have amazing energy. The reason these Detox Recipes work so well is that they work with your body and improves your cells sensitivity to insulin so you need Page 5
less to balance your blood sugar, resulting in weight loss, younger skin and vibrant health. It also reduces your stress hormone cortisol. Cortisol increases cravings for sugar, and promotes belly fat storage. Over all and most importantly you will be reducing inflammation (which is proving to be the cornerstone of disease and of almost all weight gain) by eliminating processed foods, sugar and carbs. You will be replacing them with anti-inflammatory foods that are satisfying, nourishing and flush toxins that are keeping you overweight, tired, and unhealthy. The reasons you may have failed before with weight loss is because will power and counting calories doesn t help - you can t sustain those stringent rules for the long term - it s too difficult and not at all satisfying to our body or mind. When you fuel your body the way it was meant to be fueled, you shift your hormones, brain chemistry, and response to food rapidly.
