Do not stop taking your prescription medications. Begin your day with a 16 oz glass of water that has fresh lemon juice added. One half of a lemon will do. You can adjust the amount of lemon juice to suit your taste. Lemons are an excellent source of Vitamin C and help to dense the liver. In place of breakfast, you can consume a fresh green smoothie of your choice and bananas and strawberries or any fruit of your choice.

Consuming fruit juices or smoothies for breakfast gives your body energy, vitamins, nutrients, and antioxidants. You'll feel more energized than when eating a heavy, saturated fat breakfast. It also gives your digestive system a rest.

Do not be afraid to consume more than one piece of fruit. Make sure you are eating enough to satisfy your hunger. Fresh fruit can be a very pleasurable in-between-meal snack. Also, you can nibble on some fresh carrots and celery sticks. These are very good raw food choices and very affordable. These simple snacks provide crunch along with the salty and sweet tastes which many people enjoy. High in the healthy type of fat, monounsaturated fat, which helps lower blood cholesterol and prevent heart disease, raw nuts, and dried fruits are great snack choices, as well.
