I received the following question this week in regards to our Basic Cleanse program:

“What’s a good way to cleanse without losing too much weight? When I cleanse, I often lose too much weight too fast. I’m a skinny enough person already, it doesn’t quite feel right.”

Many people cleanse for weight loss, but there are definitely those who are underweight or at the correct weight who want to detoxify without changing their body composition. A simple answer to this question is to just eat more food from within the recommended cleanse foods (listed in the cleanse booklet).

The best foods to increase would be the beans or the vegetables, as these are lower in starch compared to brown rice and will favor the preservation of muscle mass. You can also double the amount of essential oils used on the cleanse to add a healthy source of calories. If you try both of these measures and still feel that you’re losing too much weight, add up to 2 additional protein shakes throughout the day according to the recipe in the cleanse booklet.

Thanks for your question! Keep them coming!
