The 9-Day Cleanse
One of the ways the liver deals with impurities is to increase body fat to enfold these impurities to protect the body from their influence. Diets are not successful for long term weight loss because they don’t address the need to cleanse the body of impurities. So on a traditional diet, when you lose weight you have an increase percentage of impurities. The body senses increase levels and goes into emergency fat production, i.e. rebound fat. By cleansing first, impurities are released so the body sheds fat. The result is better overall health with less fat and more muscle.
