Detoxification & High Protein Diets do not go hand in hand…
During detoxification we often crave that which the body is releasing…
Meaning, that when the accumulated toxins within are being released, we often experience cravings for that particular food – as the built up residues, associated with that particular food type, come into circulation for elimination…
Now isn’t that freaky?
It’s like, it will get you on the way in, & on the way out if we eat foods that we are not designed to eat… we do not win when we continually eat foods that build disease & are not health promoting for our physiology – cause & effect, there is always a price to pay…
We are designed for easy- to -digest simple foods…
Our body can easily digest simple sugars, this is why fruits & vegetables are so compatible with our physiology. The complex sugars / complex, high protein foods cause issues such as inflammatory conditions & systemic acidosis overtime.
“Raw fruits and vegetables are always your best sources of simple sugars. This is one reason why your body becomes stronger and more energetic on these foods. Foods high in protein and low in sugars, or foods high in complex-sugars, rob your body of vital energy, create acidosis and elevate blood sugars. Simple sugars also aid alkalization of the tissues, which is vital for tissue regeneration and vitality. As stated, fructose is the highest electrical sugar in nature and is superb for brain and nerve regeneration.”~ Detox Miracle Sourcebook
Through detoxification & healing, If you don’t give into the cravings that arise, you still have to deal with the uncomfortableness as those toxins are being released…That’s just how it works
We pay for our poor dietary choices Twice!
A good rule for dealing with cravings is to give into them!
And choose an improved version, a less harmful version of that which you are craving….(a protein-less version)…
Remember, we are programmed to think that we need high protein, complex foods for health… the opposite is true if you value your health…
“The high protein diet is DANGEROUS. When we eat protein (the right protein from plants) this is not fuel for our bodies but it is actually building blocks, immune functions, or carriers which are already broken down amino acids.
A human body needs amino acids to build and grow, maintain and repair. Sometimes if the body needs to, it will convert amino acids to glucose. When an individual is on keto, a high protein and fat diet or someone depriving the body of carbohydrates, the body will burn protein for fuel, contrary to its other purposes and uses in our body.
When the body has no sugars to use for fuel, it goes to stored fat AND breaks down it’s own tissues for energy. So yes, you might lose some weight because the body is burning fat but you are also at the same time harming the body. High protein – low carb diets lead to tissue and muscle damage, as well as pancreatic, liver and kidney damage”~ Brooke
I always say, “Avoid high protein foods as if your life depends on it, because it does”! And Choose your daily food choices as if your life depends on it- because it does!! Your quality of life depends on it…
