Wintertime leaves a lot of us feeling blah and washed out. Our skin gets dry and pale, our eyes can seem dull and lifeless � and let�s not even get started with the foods we eat.

Wintertime leaves a lot of us feeling blah and washed out. Our skin gets dry and pale, our eyes can seem dull and lifeless � and let�s not even get started with the foods we eat. Thanksgiving dinner, Christmas parties and New Year�s Eve � all came with plenty of rich, decadent dishes and calorie-laden cocktails. It�s no wonder that by the time spring arrives, we could really use a pick-me-up.

And those are just a few of the things a quick cleanse can remedy. Have you been plagued by chronic constipation, allergies, sinusitis, or any other chronic aches and pains? If you�re tired of relying on over-the-counter medications to make it through day to day life, there might just be an unexpected culprit � blockage(s) in your body�s elimination system.

Basically, what this means is that you might be suffering from mucus and other wastes building up in your body�s major routes of elimination:

� Your lungs
� Your pores
� Your kidneys, and
� Your bowels.

Getting rid of this waste build-up will better allow your body to get the most out of your regular diet � a bit like the performance difference you see between low- and high-octane fuel.

Important Things to Consider Before You Begin...

Of course, the three day cleansing diet isn�t for everyone. Some people may be too weak or may suffer from conditions that make the cleansing diet too dangerous to undertake. For this reason, it�s important to stress how vital it is to first consult with your doctor before you begin a new dietary regiment.

Also, I can�t stress enough that this is a diet to help you cleanse your system out, not too help you lose weight. Misuse could be extremely hazardous to your health!

Now that we�ve covered the basics, let�s delve on into the specifics of the cleansing diet.

The Diet in a Nutshell...

While you may come across several different variations of the 3 day cleansing diet, here are some of the things they�ll all have in common:

� You�ll have to drink at least 8-10 glasses of water each day
� When it comes to foods, be ready to restrict your diet to 5-6 servings of fruits and vegetables each day, preferably raw or steamed.
� In case you didn�t get the hint, that means NO meat.
� If you do opt for breads or cereals (and you probably shouldn�t), it�s important that you only chose whole grains
� During this 72 hour period, it�s important to avoid sugars, coffees, and sodas. If you�re afraid you�ll suffer from headaches from caffeine withdrawals, you might want to begin slowly reducing your coffee intake prior to the �fast.�

The Cleansing Diet in Action...

While there are many different variations of the cleansing diet being touted by various different experts, most of them follow a pattern that looks something like this:

Day 1 � A complete food fast, water only
Day 2 � 5 or 6 servings of fruit and fruit juice only (water is still a must)
Day 3 � 5 or 6 servings of vegetables and veggie juice only (water is still a must)
Day 4 � Go back to your regular diet

Of course, variations do exist, and with a little research, you should have no trouble finding one suitable for your own unique needs. Three days later, a whole new, detoxified woman will be looking back at you in the mirror!
