Moringa Body Reset: Day 2

Increase Fruits + Veggies & Reduce Grains

 

Starting today, and for the next seven days, we will cut refined sugar and all processed foods out of our diet. Eliminating processed foods generally means not eating anything in a plastic wrapper that was made in a facility. However, some raw foods are packaged and labeled ‘raw’.  

Eliminating sugar means checking labels and being careful not to eat added sugar in any form (avoid fructose, galactose, granulated sugar, agave, honey). You will be eating plenty of natural sugar from fruit and vegetables!
