The ClearDetox Program
Elimination Diet
An elimination diet is designed to eliminate common allergens along with any
specific food sensitivities known to an individual. In the context of
detoxification, this reduces stress to the gastrointestinal tract and immune
system and helps to preserve gut integrity. As a result, this may help decrease
the amount of toxins that penetrate through the gut, helping to decrease toxin
load. Furthermore, organic, natural whole food selections that are part of the
Healthful Foods list (below) help to minimize exposure to antibiotics, hormones,
pesticides, preservatives, artificial colors and flavors, and other chemicals
that overwhelm the body's detoxification processes.
Use the basic food lists below to guide your meal and menu
preparation. The emphasis is on allergen reduction and whole,
healthful eating. Fresh and organic foods should be used
whenever possible. Vegetables should be steamed, sauteed, or
eaten raw. Some vegetables even promote phase I and phase II
detoxification, including cabbage, cauliflower, brussels
sprouts, and broccoli. Meats and fish are best grilled, sauteed
or baked. Use only fresh spices to season and avoid packaged and
processed foods. You are encouraged to build upon the guidelines
below with your health professional.
As part of the ClearDetox Program, the elimination diet
should be continued for 4 weeks. Afterwards, foods like dairy,
eggs, corn, soy, shellfish, citrus fruits, and grains like wheat
and oats can be gradually reintroduced, preferably one at a
time, 2 or 3 days apart. This way, if you notice any sensitivity
or allergic reactions to a particular group, you should continue
to eliminate those foods for several months (after which you may
try introducing them again), or continue to avoid them
altogether. All foods that become part of your permanent dietary
plan should be whole and organic as often as possible.
