We call this next four days the lead-in stage. It allows your body to adjust to the effect of the herbs before stepping up to the full Deep Clenase dosage.
Lead In - Day 1
Today is the first day of taking your Herbal Detox capsules or your BodiClenz Drink.
By now you should have taken 20 of your capsules, 5 from each one of the bottles in the morning, or you will have taken 1 scoop of BodiClenz in your breakfast smoothie. This is the amount you will be taking for the first 4 days.

Now that you are into the cleanse, it is a good time to explore why live food and raw food are so good for you. There is no real value in processed ‘dead food’ as it’s actually toxic to us. Over time by-products of dead food will accumulate and you will need to do a detox/body cleanse program to feel better. This is why our Ultimate herbal Detox diet includes lots of raw, fresh fruits and vegetables. This allows your body to cleanse toxins and to feel energised and healed at the same time.
You will find after your BodiClenz or Ultimate Herbal Detox program that the increase in energy is so profound that your diet naturally leans towards more raw food thereafter.
Have an awesome day
Why Eat Live Food
Photosynthesis captures light, which is then released during the cellular metabolism of sugars and fats. This basic process in nature has significant implications for our diet, especially concerning the type of food we choose to consume for energy.
Key Dietary Insights:
- Bright Foods for Energy: Foods rich in color, such as fruits and vegetables, contain a high amount of light, which translates to energy. This concept is vividly illustrated by brightly colored flowers, which are natural light-capturing devices. Similarly, ripe fruits, especially those picked directly from the tree, provide an almost instant energy boost, making them unparalleled sources of life force and quick energy.
- Raw Vegetables’ Power: Fresh raw vegetables are loaded with light, life force, and healing properties. However, when under stress, people often avoid these raw foods because consuming them can trigger a detox process. This process not only expels physical toxins but also emotional and mental ones, which may be overwhelming if one is not prepared to face them.
The Detriment of “Dead Food”:
- Low Nutritional Value: Processed foods, artificially flavored snacks, overcooked foods, and dead meats are categorized as “dead food” because they lack nutritional value and are toxic. These foods do not contribute to our health and can lead to the accumulation of harmful by-products in our bodies.
- Necessity for Detox: Continuous consumption of dead food necessitates periodic detox or body cleanse programs to eliminate toxins and rejuvenate the body. Incorporating raw, fresh fruits and vegetables into your diet, as suggested by our Ultimate Herbal Detox diet, facilitates this cleansing process, helping to energize and heal the body.
Empirical Support for Raw and Vegetarian Diets:
- Health Benefits: Studies consistently show that diets high in raw plant foods lead to better health outcomes. For instance:
- Favorable cholesterol and triglyceride levels from long-term consumption of a 70% raw plant food diet.
- Beneficial plasma beta-carotene and low plasma lycopene concentrations linked to strict long-term raw food diets.
- Raw vegan diets contribute to lower obesity rates and reduced hypertension.
- Significant relief from fibromyalgia symptoms and reduced signs of rheumatoid arthritis in individuals following a raw vegan diet.
People adhering to raw or vegetarian diets often report much higher energy levels and overall happiness, underscoring the profound impact of diet on physical and mental health.
Lead In - Day 2
You’re into the second day of capsules or drinks. Hopefully, you are getting them down OK. Please keep up your gentle exercise as your body will benefit from the gentle exercise and energy flow. I thought that reflecting on the reasons for doing a cleanse might be appropriate at this stage, but also a little insight into the philosophy on how you can achieve your goals bu utilising the law of ‘Incremental Change’
Keep going, you are doing well.
Inner Peace - What Is It?
Everyone has different reasons for doing a detox program. For many it is at a practical level, to lose weight or to clean their body to resolve health conditions. For some they want to reach deeper, to make a significant change in their lives, and to find emotional/mental peace and deeper healing.
Brett has written a series of articles on this subject and shares his self-healing method which you can use during your detox.
Lead In - Day 3
You are heading into a key part of your cleanse, and your body may be showing signs of the Detox kicking in.
As you are moving further into the cleanse, your body will be starting to release toxins held inside you. It is common not be feeling too good in the early stages, like between days 3-6 on the herbs, but keep going and it should pass in 24 to 48 hours.
See more information below about toxins and how detoxing heals.
Just a tip: If you are struggling to take the capsules, you don’t have to take them all at once. You can split them up and take them throughout the day if it makes it easier for you.
Also if you are feeling full after the capsules don’t feel you have to eat just because you think you should. It’s OK if the capsules fill you up and your appetite drops.
Keep going, you can do it.
What can I snack on when I get hungry?
It’s important to keep snacking in the first few days of your detox as you may start to miss your normal routine of eating certain foods. There are many things you can eat. These include Grapes, Prunes, Figs, Raisins, Olives, Gherkins, Pickled onions, Apples, Mandarins, Grapefruit, or any other fruit. A glass of juice is also a great idea.

Lead In - Day 4
Well today, tomorrow or the next day could be your toughest time. The detox effect could be kicking in strongly now.
As I mentioned earlier it happens differently for everyone so variations are perfectly normal.
Toilet habits could be changing, you might be feeling a bit sickly, have a headache, feel fatigued, or a bit bloated or nauseous. It is OK, this is normal and will pass.
We have also linked you to a couple of videos and articles around toilet habits, bloating and gas, and withdrawal headaches below. Some of the ideas in these articles may be helpful if you’re suffering from either of these potential side effects of detoxing.
Now is the time to look after yourself and take “me” time. A massage, a relaxation in a spa pool, a visit to a hot pool, or just curl up in bed with a good movie. They’re all good for you right now.
This initial detox effect will pass over the next 2-3 days so keep going.
We are in it together!
Brett discusses what your toilet habits could be like during the detox process. Bowel movements can vary greatly during the program and this short video sheds some light on what to expect.
Another side effect of cleansing your intestine can be a feeling of temporary bloating or gas. This can be a result of your gut rebalancing itself, but also the detox diet can be a drastic change for many people and this can trigger short-term bloating or gas. It may be specific foods that your body is not used to.
The Digestive herbs in BodiClenz and Digezaid capsules are designed to prevent this from happening, but this article gives more tips to help reduce this side effect if you’re experiencing it.
