Instructions

• 1

  Prepare for your fast by eating lightly the day prior to starting. Avoid the temptation to eat a big "last supper" the night before. Instead, have a green salad to brush your system clear and prepare your body.

• 2

  Eat nothing but organic apples, red or yellow, for three full days. Drink plenty of water or apple juice as well.

• 3

  Take two tablespoons of olive oil on the fourth day to aid in digestion and facilitate your movements following the fast.

• 4

  Begin breaking the fast on the fourth day by drinking orange juice in the morning and eating a light meal of fruits and vegetables in the afternoon. By dinner you should be ready to add some light grains to your diet.

• 5

  Eat regularly on the fifth day and return to a normal, healthy diet, and regular exercise schedule.

• 6

  Repeat this cleansing diet once a month for two to three months to clear your entire alimentary canal, liver, kidneys and your system in general.
