Cleanse pitfalls for healthy people

Sunday's TIP: I'm constantly asked about cleanses. Here's an important part of cleanses for those using it to loose weight. Most cleanses are juice based or liquid based and do not provide a complete protein aspect to the cleanse claiming all kinds of reasons such as the protein will defeat the purpose of the cleanse. But isn't becoming undernourished defeating the purpose of trying to get healthier? Although not a fan of cleanses and scientific research shows if one eats properly the body cleanses itself on its own. Not enough protein (amino acids) taken in will cause the body to use the muscle already in the body to "find" that protein, NOT A GOOD IDEA. When trying to cleanse your body think healthy, "clean" as in "cleanse" foods: veggies, lean proteins, healthy fats and grains such as Quinoa which contains all 9 essential amino acids. After all you wouldn't try to clean your clothes or body with no soap to get "even" cleaner would you? Make brilliant AND healthy choices!
