Day 2: This is a gentle detox. You will want to pick up an KONI Detox set to begin this cleanse. If you can, reduce your intake of sugar and artificial sweeteners, white flour, dairy, alcohol, salt and caffeine while increasing your intake of fruits and veggies a week before this cleanse. If you want to do a more intensive detox, please check out my 10 day cleanse without food.

    - 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. And the lime juice will clear toxic accumulation from your liver while alkalizing your system.

    Snack: Steamed broccoli sprinkled with ground ginger. A handful of a soy nut blend with almonds. Drink 2 cups of KONI Holy Detox.

    Dinner: Marinated vegetable kabobs recipe. Drink with 2 cups of Koni Kapha or Koni Throat Revival Tea. The fennel in Koni Throat Revival helps 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.
