March 2016 - Issue # 028 - The 3 Day Apple Diet - So Easy To Do


3 Day Apple Diet - It's Practically Painless


Hi Everyone. I absolutely love this little mini detox diet. It does so much good in such little time.


So if you want to cleanse your body and shed some unwanted pounds in as little as three days, then take this three day challenge and get totally energized.



Every four months I do this apple diet to re-energize my mind, body and spirit and the best part about this program is that it does not require a long term commitment.


It's only three days and you can eat as much as you want, well as many apples as you want.


It's possible that you've heard of this program before. Whether people are promoting it for weight loss or a way to help detox the body I'm sure the thought was inspired by Edgar Cayce.


Edgar Cayce (born 1877- died 1945) was an American who dabbled in many subjects such as reincarnation, religion, was considered a mystic clairvoyant (psychic), but most importantly dedicated much time for healing the sick.


Well, no matter where you have heard about this diet, all I can say it's a great tool to promote quick weight loss and cleansing.

So Here is the Edgar Cayce's 3 Day Apple Diet:


Though Cayce created this 3 day program as a way to help detox the body, many people use it for a fast and easy way to shed some unwanted pounds.


This diet helps detoxify our bodies and can be done several times a year.

Instructions:


First, you will need to purchase some apples, organic apples if possible would be the best choice.


Cayce recommends buying "jenneting" apples, which are apples that ripen early in the season. Two varieties of this type are Delicious or Jonathan.


You can use other types of apples too, as all types are beneficial for this program. I often use Honey Crisp or Fuji as those are my favorites.


So for 3 days eat only raw apples. This can be considered one of the major pluses of this program is that you never have to worry about meal preparation, or cooking, or being hungry because you can eat as many raw apples as you wish.


This has to be one of the easiest weight loss cleanses I have ever done with absolutely fantastic results. I usually lose about 8 -9 pounds with this cleanse.


One question that is quite commonly asked is should the apples be peeled before eating them?


If you bought organic apples, then the peel is fine to eat, though non-organic ones must be peeled before eating.

Supplement the apple diet with olive oil:


Before going to bed on the 3rd (last) day of the diet, it is recommended that you drink half a cup of extra virgin olive oil.


This helps with the removal of toxins from your body.

What to Drink on The Diet:


Drink plenty of distilled water that is room temperature. You can also enjoy warm herbal teas that have no added sugars or sweeteners. Avoid drinking hot or cold liquids.


All this should be no problem as it's only for 3 short days.

Why it Works So Well:


Because Apples are:


Low in calories


High in soluble fiber


Fiber helps keep you feeling full


Prevents constipation


Aids with digestion


Helps lower cholesterol


Contain antioxidants the help detoxify the body


Good source of malic acid, which is an amazing liver cleanser


Also Malic acid and pectin fiber help clean the intestinal tract and leach toxins from the blood stream that may reduce muscular pain and may help those who suffer from fibromyalgia

Tips and Cautionary Points:


If your job entails hard physical labor throughout the day, this diet will probably not be good for you on those heavy work days.


For those of us with less physical jobs this 3 day diet should be no problem.


If you can only spare the weekends for this diet that is good too.


Avoid taking vitamins during the fast, as the body will just work harder trying to dispose of them


Since this is actually a fast your body will go into detox mode. As the toxins from your liver, kidneys and other organs release these toxins into the bloodstream you may feel a little irritable, more so on the second day. You may also experience headache.

Conclusion:


At the end of the apple diet most people feel great, more energized, clearer mental clarity, physically stronger.


When we eliminate toxins from our bodies this helps us fight and prevent disease.


So if you feel that you can manage three days for this detox, then grab a bag of apples and a couple jugs of distilled water and give it a go.
