Liver Cleansing Diets

What is the Function of the Liver?

The word "liver" is derived from a word meaning "for life”. Almost all metabolic activities and body functions are dependent on the liver in some way. Some of the liver’s many functions include:

Is an Overburdened Liver Sabotaging Your Weight?

Although the liver is capable of doing its job on its own, the diets we eat and the increasing levels of chemicals in our environment can push it to capacity. The liver has to work harder to detoxify the body, leaving it less able to carry out its many other jobs, resulting in what is called an overburdened liver and weight gain.

Liver Cleansing May Help With Weight Loss

By maximizing and supporting liver functioning with a liver cleansing diet, you can lose weight safely and permanently, without the strain, slowdowns, and symptoms of unhealthy weight loss.

The Inside-Out Diet for Liver Cleansing

The diet consists of three parts, all designed to cleanse the liver:

Step 1 of The Inside-Out Diet: The first week is the most restrictive part of the diet, aimed at eliminating unhealthy cravings, restoring insulin sensitivity and hormonal balance, correcting your metabolism, and cleansing the colon and liver to open the pathways for sustained fat loss. Think of it as spring cleaning for the body—at any time of the year.

Step 2 of The Inside-Out Diet: In the second week of the diet, you'll systematically re-introduce certain foods and note your responses. This helps you to determine whether those foods are helping or hampering your weight loss. Many diets unnecessarily restrict foods. With The Inside-Out Diet, you’ll find out which foods are particularly problematic for you and only limit those.

You'll be in Step 2 for three weeks, enjoying a wide variety of delicious and satisfying dishes, such as Rosemary Grilled Lamb with Goat Cheese, Roasted Beets, Red Onion, and Warm Watercress.

Step 3 of The Inside-Out Diet: To make sure you don't gain back the weight, I've given you lifelong eating guidelines you can begin after Step 2 is over. I call it “maintain without gain”. It uses what you learned in the program as a foundation for five days a week and allows you to indulge in some of the foods you like (in moderation of course) the other two days. This keeps your metabolism revved so you don't regain any of the weight. And because you're not permanently restricting yourself from any foods, you'll never "mess up."
