Colon Cleanse Diet – What Foods To Eat

Here are sample meals that would be on this type of diet:

Breakfast
* Protein shake with almonds and two figs
* Eggs with steak on bed of spinach, dandelion tea, prune juice, apple
* Almond flour flaxseed pancakes with fig butter, milk, green tea
* Granola with almonds and flax seeds, milk, egg, and green tea

Lunch
* Dolmades (stuffed grape leaves with brown rice), spinach salad with walnuts and chicken breast and honey mustard dressing, whole grain roll with butter, apple compote, raspberry leaf tea
* Broiled salmon with steamed broccoli, wild rice, cooked collard greens, and chickweed tea
* Tuna sandwich on whole grain bread with lettuce, tomato, sprouts, coleslaw or sauerkraut, carrot strips, choice of fruit for dessert, green tea

Dinner
* Chicken legs cooked in tomato sauce, brown rice pilaf with pine nuts, okra, and dessert/beverage
* Vegetable tray with dip, roasted leg of lamb, asparagus, baked yam, apple pie
* Reuben sandwich on rye bread, cooked greens with lemon, applesauce

You can see by these menus that it really is quite easy to eat a diet that cleanses the colon. Snacks could easily be a glass of juice with a tablespoon of psyllium added to it or even slippery elm lozenges, 2 small plums, an apple, or a pear.

Once you have the knowledge of what types of foods will help move the bowels, you can make good choices from then on. This way you’re building your own colon cleanse diet.

There is something else to remember. Your body may react differently to foods than another person, even in your own family. Keep a list of foods that seem to get your bowels moving properly and/or maintain them working optimally. Don’t be afraid to experiment with new foods and add to or change your list as time goes on. Digestive tracts act differently at different times in life.

Now go have your first meal on your new colon cleanse diet!
