Healthy Lifestyle - Action! Take one! (article one)

The biggest mistake you can make, is to believe that just cutting out alcohol will miraculously upgrade your liver functions. It won't – it will curb a daily or heavy weekly drinking habit but it won't ACTUALLY make you healthier if you just give your liver other battles… solution? 7 days of nothing bad for the liver. What’s bad?

High Fructose corn syrup and all refined sugar – banned for 7 days
All refined bread, pasta, waffle, wrap… refined flour “”
Salty things… sodium is a liver killer, keep the salt low like under 1,000 mg daily “”
Processed everything. Don’t buy anything in a box or order out from unhealthy restaurant.”
Saturated fats, ground beef, butter, mayo, cheese, fatty yogurts and sour cream all animal fats and dairy “”

Next - 7 days of 1 meal replacement. Which meals is your less favorite? I find Breakfast the easiest - ( I love breakfast, but I also love to sit with Steve and have a healthy dinner at night, so Breakfast it is!)
