At the end of the two-week program, you should notice that your cravings are gone, your bowel movements should be improved, your energy should be up, and you should be losing weight and/or inches.

Concentrated Nutrition

There are receptors in your digestive system that signal the brain and tell it when to feel hungry and when to be satisfied. When you consume highly concentrated nutrients, the body’s hunger centers are easily satisfied, resulting in fewer cravings and less hunger. This is why you can eat a lot of refined empty nutrition bread or other carbohydrate, since carbohydrates do not trigger the brain hunger centers as readily. The reason your cravings will go away on this program is because the body is getting all the nutrition it needs. Cravings only occur when you are missing some nutrients.

What to Expect

At the end of the two-week program, you should notice that your cravings are gone, your bowel movements should be improved, your energy should be up, and you should be losing weight and/or inches. About 20 percent of my patients didn’t lose much weight during this initial cleanse (only five pounds) for two reasons: (1) their body was healing and needed more time to regenerate muscle protein, or (2) they were an Adrenal or Ovary body type and required more protein. However, just about everyone will experience improved energy, better sleep, fewer cravings, and improvements in hair, nails, skin and sex drive because of the liver’s enhanced ability to utilize hormones. People who have fluid weight can lose pounds faster than those with actual fat as weight. Normalization of blood pressure and cholesterol can also be noticed. This is due to the improved liver function. If you are taking medication and these changes occur, get with your doctor so that he or she can adjust the dosage.

It’s important to know that water weight comes off before fat weight. This means you might initially lose lots of weight and then it will slow down when you get into fat burning. Many people get discouraged by this and think the program is not working. It is working. You just have to know that two pounds of fat loss is the maximum possible per week. The determining factor in exactly how much fat is lost will be the level of health of your glands. The worse off the metabolism, the more closely you need to follow the diet.
