Anyone who has done the Dherbs Full Body Cleanse understands that there are high points and low points. There are moments when your willpower is tested and you have to dig deep in your being to resist a plate of fries, a piece of chicken, sushi, cookies, or whatever you are craving. Then there are moments when you are in a groove, you feel energized, and you are on top of the world. No matter how you get through your cleanse, you are going to be faced with one question once you finish: What are you going to eat next?
After you come off a cleanse, it is possible that you will want to eat anything and everything that you see. Before you dive headfirst into unhealthy habits, think about all the good you did for your body. If you head straight for the pizza, ice cream, and other processed foods, your body will most likely reject it and you’ll end up hunched over a toilet. That’s a rookie move for post-cleanse foods. The reason we don’t advise consuming those foods is more easily understood when you grasp what happened to your body while cleansing.
What Happened While Cleansing?
If you cleansed correctly, i.e. you followed the diet and regimen, you gave your body a break from the excess heavy food in the Standard American Diet. Most people consume more than the body can efficiently eliminate, so toxins begins to build up in the various organs and systems in the body. By focusing on raw fruits, vegetables, nuts, and seeds, in addition to taking the herbal supplements, you helped cleanse toxins from the gastrointestinal tract, kidneys, liver, skin, lungs, blood, adrenal glands, and more.
It’s natural for people to go back to foods they consumed prior to cleansing once they finish the Full Body Cleanse.. The goal is to avoid rushing into harmful foods that the body cannot process efficiently. What you eat after your cleanse, however, is just as important as the raw vegan diet you consumed while cleansing. In the first couple days after your cleanse, it is beneficial to focus on fresh fruits and vegetables for breakfast and lunch, allowing yourself to indulge in vegetable soup or steamed or sautéed vegetables for dinner. You can incorporate steel cut oats, legumes, and other whole grains in the following days. To help you succeed in your post-cleanse journey, make some of the recipes below.
