3 Day Detox With Healthy Food: Day 3
Posted by Phuong on Oct 11th, 2011

Yay! Today is the last day of my 3 day cleanse. I feel so much lighter and healthier and I can even see my stomach getting flatter. Today I made sure I drank a lot of Koni Herbal Teas, such as Kapha, Holy Detox, and Throat Revival.

It hasn't been so bad with this 3 day cleanse because I'm still eating healthy food and working out. Most people eat way too much which is really hard on the liver and kidneys. This healthy 3 day detox still allows you to eat and drink your Koni Teas, so your blood sugar will stay steady and your energy high. You won't feel exhausted, cranky, or constantly hungry.

Let's get started with the last day of my 3 day detox. If you missed Day 1 of my detox, click here. If you missed day 2, click here.

Upon waking up - drink 2 glasses of Koni Holy Detox with one lemon squeezed. This will flush bad stuff through your stool, urine, and sweat. Lemon juice at the start of the day detoxifies the body and improves metabolism. Tulsi basil, the main ingredient found in Koni Holy Detox, is a powerful herb that purifies the blood and detoxifies the body.


Breakfast - Koni Slimming Goddess smoothie with papaya and strawberries.

The abundance of polyphenols found in Koni Slimming Goddess Oolong Tea is effective in controlling obesity. They help activate thermogenesis which increases fat oxidation in the body.

Papaya and strawberries are must-eat fruits for weight loss and detoxifying. They pack significant amounts of fiber into each serving. 1 cup of strawberries has only 50 calories, but you get 3 grams of fiber out of them which accounts for 12% of your daily fiber need. 1 cup of papaya has only 55 calories and 3 grams of fiber. Papaya also has papain, a unique natural enzyme that speeds up weight loss.

Ingredients:

  • 2 cups of sliced papaya
  • 1/2 cup of frozen strawberries
  • 1 cup of sliced peaches
  • 2 teaspoons of fresh ginger
  • 2 teaspoons of ground flaxseed
  • 4 mint leaves
  • 2 cups of coconut milk or almond milk
  • 3 cups of brewed Koni Slimming Goddess Oolong Tea, chilled

    Directions:

    Combine all ingredients in a blender.

    Lunch - Quinoa with cilantro and black bean and 2 cups of Koni Holy Detox Herbal Tea.

    quinoa

    Ingredients:

  • 1/2 cup of cooked black beans
  • 1/2 cup cooked quinoa
  • 1 cup of chickpeas
  • 1 medium tomato chopped
  • 1/2 cup of corn
  • Chopped cilantro
  • Diced baby red onion
  • 2 tablespoons of minced garlic
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • Juice of 1 lime
  • Sea salt and pepper to taste

    Directions:

  • Combine all ingredients and stir well.
  • Chill before serving.
  • Enjoy with 2 cups of Koni Holy Detox Herbal Tea.

  • Both quinoa and black beans are packed with nutrients that will help you feel satisfied and deeply nourished during your detox.Black beans and quinoa are both rich in protein, calcium and fiber. The high levels of dietary fiber they provide will help you maintain regular bowel movements as well as clearing your arteries and protecting you from heart disease. These high protein complex carbohydrates release their nutrients slowly, making this salad helpful in regulating blood sugar.

  • Red onions, garlic, cilantro and limes each provide powerful cleansing effects for your body. Onions and garlic help strip fat from your cells. Cilantro cleanses your blood and removes heavy metal accumulation. The lime juice will clear toxic accumulation from your liver while alkalizing your system.


    Mid-day snack - Fresh fruit salad with 2 cups of Koni Holy Detox Herbal Tea.

    Fruit is easily and quickly digested so the energy that is usually used for digestion can be used by the body for cleansing. Your cells are flooded with vitamins, minerals and antioxidants, the very nutrients needed for the detox process. The high levels of Vitamin C helps to regenerate Glutathione, the major substance needed by the liver for detox. Vitamin C can help the body eliminate heavy metals like mercury and cadmium.

    Workout - walked an hour on the treadmill with an incline of 4-6. The major benefit of incline walking is that forces your lungs to use more oxygen. This happens because of the large oxygen shortfall that incline walking creates. The heavier you are breathing, the faster your heart rate and the better it is for losing weight. I already noticed my stomach getting flatter on day 3. After my workout, I replenished with 2 cups of Koni Throat Revival. The fennel and licorice root in this tea helps to further promote detoxification.

  • About 2-3 pounds white fish (I used tilapia.)

  • Squeeze juice from 1/2 lime over fish
  • Broil or grill on low to medium heat for 6-8 minutes (Don't over do it or your fish will be tough.)

    Making the taco:

    Heat the tacos in a 300 F degree oven for 5 minutes. Place about 2-3 ounces of fish in the middle of the taco. Top with 2 tablespoons of salsa, lettuce, and dairy-free vegan ricotta cheese. Enjoy with 2 cups of Koni Holy Detox Herbal Tea.

    Before Bed - 2 cups of Koni Throat Revival Tea with lemon. The fennel and licorice root in this herbal tea help to detoxify the liver.

    Detoxifying the liver can help promote weight loss because one of the liver's main functions is to break down fats and eliminate excess fats in the bile through the small intestine. When the liver is overloaded, as can happen when we are exposed to too much toxicity in our diets, this function can be impaired. With help to do its job better, the liver becomes more efficient at breaking down fats again, and we lose excess fat.
