We can personally vouch for the benefits of a cleansed Liver. In fact, only recently we went on the Liver Cleansing Diet for a second time. The best part is the delicious food. You are never hungry and your shape changes dramatically.
The downside is the scales are slow to move. It’s a gradual weight loss that has more chance of staying off. The more weight you are carrying, the quicker it drops off.
If you want a sustainable plan that is easy to follow, you will love this. The level of your energy massively increases the cleaner your liver becomes.
