After following the green smoothie diet for 10 days, you need to be prepared to break the cleanse correctly. Since you have been only eating liquids, you need to slowly go back to eating whole foods. Plan on taking 3-4 days to start adding whole foods back into your diet. Keep drinking smoothies during the day and gradually start adding more solid foods to your diet, such as salads, sautéed veggies or other foods that are easy on your body. Make sure your diet is very light for the first few days. You can start by doing smoothies for two meals and eating one light meal. After three days, eat two meals and have a smoothie for one meal. However, if you want to enjoy the best results from your cleanse, make sure you eat healthy foods as you introduce whole foods into your diet. If you start eating foods that are bad for you, you’ll end up in the same place you were before the cleanse.
To keep losing weight, try replacing one meal a day with a green smoothie. This will help you keep getting important nutrients while encouraging weight loss. If you have a significant amount of weight to lose, you could have smoothies for two of your meals and go with one, light, healthy meal each day.
Since you want to keep your weight loss going, keep using the green smoothie recipes in this book, even after you finish the initial 10-day cleanse. You will continue to reap all the benefits smoothies have to offer and changing your lifestyle will result in weight loss and a healthier body.
