Erin’s Diet for 2013 from Dr. Jason Maggio

It's time to get back to work on my diet. Dr. Jason Maggio has been reworking my plan and I want to share it with you in case you want to try it with me. Dr. Jason Maggio is in charge of my diet and he has a plan that works wonders.

"We live in an ever increasing toxic environment," explains Dr. Maggio. "This fact is difficult to deny. Many of the toxins abundant in the environment today did not exist 30 years ago including certain pesticides, herbicides, and industrial chemicals that can enter our bodies through the food water and air supply. These toxins can become trapped in our body's organs and tissues which overtime can negatively impact health, causing clogged detoxification pathways, increase weight gain and reduced energy and vitality. I believe that a detoxification program should be easy-to-follow, effective and most importantly safe to use. By supporting the body's natural two-phase detoxification process, toxins can safely and effectively be removed from the body. In this detox cleanse for weight loss and energy I have included the supplements you need, a simple schedule to follow, optimal food choices and easy fun tips for enhancing detoxification."

"To maximize your health in today's time we must look at the 'bad nine' and the 'great eight' food choices," adds Dr. Maggio.

B9D (Bad Nine):

Gluten, Dairy, Eggs, Soy, Corn, Peanuts, Sugar, Artificial Sweetners, Food Additives

GR8T (Great Eight):

Gluten-Free Grains, Dairy-Free Milks, Protein, Non-Starchy Carbs, Legumes, Fruit, Nuts/Seeds, Spices.

Quick tips for enhancing detoxification

• Drink one cup of hot water with 1/4 lemon and two pinches of cayenne pepper first thing in the morning when you wake up on empty stomach

• Drybrush to massage your entire body before getting into the shower you circular motions towards your heart

• Take a warm bath with Epson salt added to soothe and  relax and detox
