Based on the website that promotes this diet, it looks like they also recommend purchasing special products to go with it. That shouldn't be necessary with a balanced diet
The best thing you can do is let your body naturally clean itself, and just stop putting junk back in it I feel so much better when I eat whole, unprocessed foods, and there's nothing additional I need to do.
Well, everyone is welcome to believe however they choose about whatever diet. But, consider this - why is it that soooooo many people are getting sicker and fatter and dying of cancer left and right? You need to ask yourself, what could be the cause. There has to be a reason, and it has to do with our constant exposure to chemicals, which create an excessive estrogenic environment in our bodies.
There are always skeptics everywhere. It's very easy to sit back and be critical without actually trying something yourself. I can tell you that I've been living this diet for the last three years and have never felt better, been leaner or had better blood chemistry. Furthermore, I've worked with several people who have had tremendous success and benefit from being on this diet, and that's not only in the area of weight loss, but also helping alleviate PMS and menopausal symptoms and prostate enlargement in men.
As for detox, you're right, your body will naturally detoxify itself, however it becomes virtually impossible to do so effectively when you're constantly ingesting toxins on a daily basis from eating chemically laden foods. You don't need the supplements to make the Anti-Estrogenic Diet successful - they only enhance the process. We tell our followers all the time that supplements aren't required for dietary success. Unfortunately, many of our fruits and vegetables are deficient of the many vitamins and minerals that our bodies need to maintain a healthy metabolism. Supplementing - the right way, just gives your body an edge that it normally doesn't have, unless you're ingesting several times the amount of fruits and vegetables. If you want a more natural way, in place of taking supplements, you can either eat large amounts of fresh veggies and fruits, or juice. These are natural ways of detoxifying the body.
