Be Kind to Your Liver, Your Ass Will Thank You Later

Detox your liver (take out the trash) and jumpstart your weight loss! #17DayDiet

Ever wonder why you start the 17 Day Diet off with detox by elimination of sugars, unhealthy fats and carbohydrates? Is it to help you lose weight quickly? Sure. Or is it maybe for another reason?

You may have heard that body detox and cleanses are good for your liver, among other things.

Well, when your liver is overloaded with toxins, it is nearly impossible for your liver to rid your body of the dangerous toxins and to help your body digest foods and fats.

If you start a weight loss regimen without first detoxing or cleansing your body (and liver), you may have a difficult time losing actual fat. You may lose water weight at first, but most people who have a buildup of toxins in their body stop right there.

Think of your body as you do a trash can. You put garbage into your trash can and there it sits under the sink for days at a time. You take your trash and place it into the main trash bin where it sits outside your house, for maybe a week. It’s finally trash day and you have piles of trash waiting on the curb to be picked up and hauled away.

Think of your liver as the garbage man who picks up your pile of trash from the curb and takes it to the dump.

If your liver is filled with toxins, it will not be able to properly rid your body of the “garbage” — this is unhealthy and makes for losing weight very difficult.

If your liver is not working properly because it’s overloaded with toxins, you may experience any of the following and more:

1. Extreme fatigue
2. Bloated Stomach
3. Blood sugar problems
4. Hormone imbalance

Cleansing your liver thoroughly prior to starting your weight loss program will allow your liver to be more effective in its job, allowing for proper digestion and weight loss.

Some of the natural cleansing foods to help rid your body of such toxins include the following:

1. Garlic
2. Grapefruit
3. Beets and carrots
4. Green Tea
5. Leafy green veggies

Do these foods sound familiar? They should if you’re on the 17 Day Diet.

If you are experiencing some of these symptoms or if you are not losing weight even if you’re following the 17 Day Diet to the “T”, consider a complete Detox/Cleansing program to help rid your liver and body of these deadly toxins and to allow you to be healthy once again.
