Dr. Joey’s 7 step cleanse to losing weight and feeling better fast!
If you are like so many that feel bloated, tired and overweight post holiday season, this easy to follow cleanse is for you! Why cleanse? By doing so, you allow your body to quickly detoxify resulting in quick weight loss, a boost in metabolism and an improvement in overall well-being and health.
Side effects of following the steps below include;
- An improvement in bowel health and less bloating
- Improvement in skin
- Clarity of thought
- Improvement in mood
- Healthy weight loss around the abdominal region!
Do not confuse a cleanse with fasting. During a cleansing period, you will still be eating nutrient dense, calorie light foods and can continue to exercise.
To start a cleansing and feel your very best, simply follow the 7 steps below for 7-10 days.
- Drink a minimum of 2 liters of water per day. Twice per day squeeze half a lemon into warm water and drink. Herbal tea consumptions counts as water.
- Drop all grain with the exception of a ¼ cup of bran per day to avoid constipation. Load up on vegetables, proteins, fruits and essential fats.
- Keep hard-boiled eggs and baby carrots in your fridge. These options are perfect for when hunger and cravings hit.
- Eat a minimum of 3 ounces of protein per meal (chicken, fish, egg, turkey, tuna, soy). To eyeball, 3 ounces of protein = the palm of your hand without a finger or thumbs.
- Eat fresh and live green food as often as you can such as spinach, broccoli, kale, rapini and swiss chard.
- Eat “good fats” to fill up and burn fat. Options include almonds, walnuts, olive oil, sesame oil, ground flaxseeds or chia seeds and avocados. It is also advisable to supplement with a high quality, distilled fish oil. Avoid all trans fatty acids and saturated fats.
- Eat minimal dairy products. If you do eat dairy, opt for Greek yogurt (1/2 cup), cottage cheese or goat’s cheese.
The top 3 cleansing supplements I recommend are:
- A probiotics – the “friendly” bacteria that will ensure immunity is high and digestive health is at its maximum
- A green powder such as greens+ and/or chlorophyll – to ensure your system tends towards an alkaline state (vs. acidic….more on this in a later blog!)
- A high quality multi-vitamin – to act as a nutritional safety net (especially during the winter months)
Dr. Joey’s latest release The Metabolism Boosting Diet will be in stores Janaury 17th! For more information, please visit www.themetabolismboostingdiet.com and www.drjoey.com

It’s often said that the greatest wealth is health.
We often see very hard-working individuals who have gone through the rigors of “climbing the corporate ladder” only to find themselves 30 pounds heavier with a list health risk factors to go along with their list of professional achievements. One of my favorite things to do at Shulman Weight Loss is to take the overwhelm out of re-gaining personal health and helping people in this situation take simple but effective steps towards wellness and vitality.
Getting healthy can be simple – simple because its a journey like any other that starts with a single step. Here are 3 first “baby steps” that you can take today to improve your health:
-
Start your day with at least 2 cups of water, ideally with a squeeze of lemon.
Sleep is dehydrating. Most people breathe out or perspire a few pounds of water during the night. On top of a possible trip to the bathroom in the wee hours of the morning, that’s a lot of water loss! So, instead of further dehydrating your body with a cup of coffee, start your day with a long drink of water with lemon. It’s alkalizing, energizing and every cell in your body will thank you for giving it the moisture it needs to function at optimal levels.
- Eat “good” fats throughout the day.
Most of us don’t have a good ratio of good fats to bad fats in our diet and this causes inflammation in our bodies that lead to health problems like heart disease, diabetes and cancer. A lack of the good (monounsaturated and polyunsaturated) fats also can make our skin and hair dry, encourage belly fat, dampen our mood, and decrease fertility and libido. That’s because these fats are essential for maintaining a youthful appearance and for production of neurotransmitters and sex hormones. So grab a handful of nuts or seeds, put some olive oil or avocado on your salad and definitely make sure you get in at least two servings of oily fish per week!
- Dinner like a pauper.
Feast at breakfast, eat moderately at lunch, and start winding down your intake at dinner and you’ll notice something amazing – you’ll lose weight! Why? Because you’re eating according to your metabolism and optimizing blood sugar control. Our bodies are naturally revved up in the morning so eating a big meal works with that. It also ensures a good steady supply of blood sugar until lunch and leaves us more time to burn the calories. In evening, metabolism naturally slows, as does our activity level, so a heavy meals makes no sense. I know, this can be tricky if you’re used to running out the door with little or no breakfast, or if dinner parties are a staple in your social life. But if you make this change, your body will thank you for it.
Ah, that darn belly fat! Hours on the treadmill, calorie cutting, and perhaps even a pair or two of Spanx can’t seem to banish it permanently. What’s the secret to losing the belly fat first?
I’ll tell you. It’s no secret. It’s all about hormonal balance (aka blood sugar control), quality calories (i.e. cutting out the junk) and good digestion (that’s well, you know, making sure you go as often as you need to go).
To achieve these basic weight loss principles and say good-bye to the ol’ muffin top, I encourage people to do the following:
- Start your day with protein – This triggers glucagon, our fat-burning hormone, first thing in the morning instead of letting insulin, the belly fat-storing hormone, get the first word.
- Keep grains unrefined – Going for whole grains is good for flat abs because 1) it causes less of an insulin rush, thereby decreasing cravings and increasing satiety, and 2) it encourages regular bowel movements, thereby eliminating bloating that may be inflating the belly area.
- Cut out sugar – White sugar is an obvious culprit that lurks not only in conventional sweets but condiments, sauces and beverages too. Any time your body gets a hit of any type of sugar, even fruit sugar, insulin levels rise and fat storage is turned on. So try to limit your sugar intake as much as possible.
- Include “good” monounsaturated and polyunsaturated omega-3 fats – Research has consistently linked high saturated fat intake from foods of animal origin to increased abdominal obesity, while swapping the sat fats for natural, plant-based fats from seeds, nuts, olives, and avocado leads to smaller waist circumferences and less visceral fat. Don’t forget your fish and fish oil! They’re also good for you.
- Rule out food allergies – Sensitivities to gluten, dairy, corn, or soy can cause you to hold on to weight around the middle. Visit a naturopath or nutritionist to get assessed for food allergies.
Another tip – Stress is also linked to storage of more belly fat. Aim to keep cortisol levels in check by getting enough sleep and exercise.
