The Liver Cleansing Diet |
 |
Review
Summary |
Dr. Sandra Cabot’s book, The Liver Cleansing Diet, claims to offer ground-breaking concepts about the liver and the importance of maintaining its health for the proper function of the immune system, and indeed, the whole body. Offering the reader an eight-week plan for detoxification and weight loss, Cabot hopes to provide a holistic account of a healthy liver, taking cues from Chinese and naturopathic philosophies. The benefits of a healthy liver are many, according to Cabot: increased energy, cleansed blood stream, reduced inflammation, enhanced immunity, efficient metabolism, and weight control.

| Program At A Glance |
|
The diet and its benefits are designed for anyone who suffers from a stressed immune system, chronic fatigue, obesity, fatty livers or clogged arteries. Cabot’s eight-week eating plan is designed for detoxification and weight control. Raw and organic foods play a crucial role in The Liver Cleansing Diet, as do foods that contain good fat, such as oily seeds, avocados, fish, seafood, and the like. Of some interest here may be Cabot’s recommendation to replace butter/margarine with tahini, hummus, pesto, tomato paste, or relish. This may indeed be a fun and interesting way to eliminate the more harmful effects of certain foods we’re used to. Cabot predictably prescribes avoiding artificially enhanced foods and preservatives. As a way to assure the body gets everything it needs, and as a way to avoid stagnation, the diet calls for diversity when it comes to getting proteins, vitamins, and minerals. The medicinal properties of certain foods are very important to the diet as well. Foods heavy in antioxidants, such as tomatoes, which contain lycopene, can reduce the risk of certain health problems, and a healthy diet ought to include them. Cabot also reminds the reader to monitor the intake of sweets and to hydrate the body often, shooting for two liters of fluid per day.

| Final Thoughts |
|
The Liver Cleansing Diet may be a valuable resource even to people who feel they have no liver problems. The holistic diet offered by Cabot is a welcome challenge to the temptation to eat cheap and unhealthy foods that may, in the end, have adverse affects on the liver and other parts of the body. That said, Cabot’s diet insights are not necessarily original, except that they are tied to the function and health of the liver. Without the liver connection, this book does seem to read like any other holistic nutrition book, and to that extent, its advice may be found in any number of places. People looking to lose weight should consider finding a healthy eating plan that they like and can live with long term. You should also exercise each day by doing an activity that is fun and enjoyable. Water is extremely important too, and dieters need a lot of it to stay hydrated and to keep their bodies free of toxins. Finally, try the addition of a supplement specifically designed to help with weight loss. Be sure that the product you choose includes the two key elements all effective diet products need; a fat-burner to rid the body of excess weight on the arms, hips, belly, thighs and buttocks, and an appetite suppressant to help control caloric intake and keep cravings at bay. Many good intentions are ruined by cravings that take us over and sabotage our dieting efforts. If you combine all these elements, along with patience and diligence, you will see the pounds come off.
