967591_lemonadeWhen one wants to lose a few pounds the best way to achieve this is with a cleanse. Earthly Eating has ventured into this topic before, but cleansing is not only good for weight lose, which is an added bonus, it’s also great to help get things back on track with your body as well. Here are two great cleanses that can help you achieve balance and harmony as well as drop a few pounds in the process.

• The Lemon Cleanse: This one is rather popular, because of the fact that lemon helps flush out toxins from your body and with that you end up cleaning out your liver and kidneys in the process.

1. Juice of one lemon
2. 32 ounces of spring water
3. 1-1/2 teaspoons maple syrup or organic honey
4. 1 pinch of ground clove or 1/2 teaspoon of whole cloves

Mix ingredients together in a blender for about 30 seconds and strain if needed. Drink first thing in the morning right before you eat a breakfast dish such as raw almonds or half and apple or pear.

• The Liver Flush: This drink is especially helpful in clearing out toxic build up in the liver and it will also help clear out the kidneys as well as the first drink will.

1. 1/2 of a peeled lemon
2. 2 peeled oranges
3. 1 oz. olive oil
4. 3 sprigs of parsley
5. 1 pinch of ginger
6. 1 pinch of cracked black pepper
7. 1 pinch cayenne pepper
8. 1 pinch ground cloves

Follow this drink with 1,000 milligrams of vitamin C and 100 milligrams of magnesium. Drink 8 ounces of 100 percent vegetable juice or fruit juice and at lunch eat a large green salad. For dinner you can also have four ounces of natural fish or chicken and cook it in organic olive oil.

*Of course this is just a guide, you can follow your cleanse with anything you wish. Make sure what you eat during your cleanse is 100 percent natural and organic though, you don’t want to be eating in what you are trying to rid you body of. Talk to your doctor before trying this or any other cleansing routine to make sure you body can handle the vitamins and minerals during this time.*
