Skipping this step will make the weight loss/fat loss process far
harder, and it will create a destiny for you of achieving only temporary
results.
There are 3 initial steps to take for your cleanse to be most effective:
1st...Decide
how long you want your cleanse to last. I usually recommend to my
personal clients that their cleanse last no less than 1 full day and no
longer than 7-10 days. For example, if they have lived a life of eating
fast food and little or no physical activity, then their cleanse should
last closer to the 7-10 day mark. But if they have lived a healthy!
life, eating lots of fresh raw vegetables, exercising regularly, and
possibly even doing another type of cleanse every now and then...then
you need only follow this cleanse 1 or 2 days in a row (but most of my
clients - even those who come to me in excellent condition, usually
choose to stay on the cleanse longer than just 1 - 2 days...the average
is 3 - 5 days initially, then once a month thereafter they can do a mini
cleanse lasting 1 - 2 days).
2nd...Decide what you're going to
consume on the cleanse (this is a great time to get all the junk food
cleaned out of your kitchen - give it away, throw it away, just get rid
of it - but don't get rid of it by eating it yourself!!!). After you've
cleaned out your kitchen, you should stock it with healthy foods, and
the only healthy foods you'll be consuming on your cleanse are plain,
fresh, clean water (preferably 'distilled' or 'purified' water),
vegetable juices, and possibly some decaffeinated herbal tea (if you
desire it).
The term "vegetable juice", when used here, refers ONLY to juices that you juice yourself. So get yourself a vegetable juicer and a wide variety of fresh, raw, preferably organic vegetables. Then 2 or 3 times per day juice enough vegetables to fill a glass and drink it down (some people, including diabetics, find it beneficial to water down their juice with 50% water - this simply dilutes the sugar found in some vegetables).

You should add a small pinch of cayenne pepper to a
few of your drinks throughout the day - this strengthens your blood,
increases circulation, improves the assimilation of nutrients from the
vegetable juices into your body, and helps your bowels eliminate the
built up waste from your system (which gets rid of any constipation).
3rd...Do
some light cardiovascular exercise like walking or bike riding for 20 -
30 minutes each day of your cleanse. Avoid any heavy physical exertion
if possible - your goal is to relax and let your system rebuild and
repair itself during your cleanse. Finally, rent a funny movie and laugh
(a lot). When you have a good laugh, your body secretes chemicals that
aid in digestion and promote good metabolic health.
