Top 7 tips for successful detox



1. Eliminate fish that can contain toxins, such as farmed Atlantic salmon, grouper, swordfish, Chilean sea bass, tuna, and halibut. Load up on Wild Alaskan salmon, which has low levels of mercury and high levels of beneficial omega-3 fatty acids.

2. Choose organic to lower your exposure to pesticides

3. Consume five to nine servings a day of fruits and vegetables — most important, dark leafy greens and cruciferous vegetables packed with cleansing antioxidants and toxin-eradicating chlorophyll

4. Try to eat a mostly vegetarian diet that is rich in protein but low in fat and carbohydrates

5. Take cleansing herbs to help support the liver

6. Supplement your diet with vitamins A, C, and E; B vitamins; zinc; calcium; and selenium

7. Drink at least three cups of green tea a day

Weight loss tips

Beat stress to overcome cravings that aren't results of real hunger.

Don't deprive yourself by completely eliminate certain foods. Instead, follow a plant-based diet of whole foods.

If possible, get 60 to 90 minutes of moderate exercise every day to lose and keep weight off.

Don't give in the mindless eating. Rather, observe and appreciate your food.
