16 Detoxing Cleanse Foods
Get a jump-start on losing extra pounds with these essential cleanse foods

As a nutritionist, I always suggest that my clients get a jump-start on weight loss and a new way of eating with a short “cleanse,” to help eliminate cravings, wake up the digestive system, and prepare the body for a new healthier way of eating.

Figuring out which foods are best for a “cleanse” can be tricky. So many foods feel refreshing and rejuvenating—hot tea, raw vegetables, and fresh fruit come to mind. And with good reason: foods with insoluble fiber (like raw veggies) or a diuretic effect (like green tea), promote speedy digestion and “flush” the GI tract. These foods can be considered the best “cleanse” choices. Here are some of my faves and why they just might work! –Keri Glassman, M.S., R.D.
