introduction
7–Day Filling Phase
Phase 4 is the last phase also called the !lling phase of the detoxi!cation
menu plan. This phase advocates foods that are nutritionally sound and
energy dense aimed at giving a !lling sensation to the body.
It should be kept in mind, that Filling Phase is not meant to stu# or pack
the digestive system by overeating. During Phase 4 one needs to continue
eating in a cautious way steering clear of processed, packaged foods,
keeping the goal to simply refuel the body.
week 4 menu plan explanation
Phase 4 introduces meat such !sh and salmon in the !lling phase of
detoxi!cation diet. While consuming animal products, avoid eating them
during lunch because animal protein is di#cult to digest and leaves
acidic residue in the body.
This puts the body to divert its energy in maintaining the pH which may
cause dip in energy levels through the rest of the day. However, salmon
and red snapper !sh featured in the menu plan are good sources of
essential fats, omega-3 which are required to decrease in"ammation,
maintain hormonal balance.
One serving of wild salmon provides about 4–7 micrograms of vitamin
B12. Vitamin B12 is an important vitamin in energy metabolism. While
choosing sea food care must be taken that they are not prone to toxic
waste and mercury contaminants. Choose wild caught salmon over the
regular as they are less prone to toxicity.
The body's capacity to "ush out the toxins and other waste materials is at
its peak beginning mid morning until noon. Hence, the lighter an
individual stays on breakfast, easier it is for the body to e$ciently get rid
o# the metabolic waste accumulated overnight.
