When thinking of weight loss a liver cleanse plan probably doesn’t come to mind as easily as diet or exercise. Yet, it should. Our liver is the largest glandular organ in the body and may very well hold the key to losing body fat fast.
Liver cleanse recipe ingredients:
- 250 ml cranberry juice
- 1750 ml pure water
- ½ tsp cinnamon
- ¼ tsp ginger and nutmeg
- ¾ cup fresh orange juice
- ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
- Stevia natural sweetener
- Ground flax seed
Bring the mixture of water and cranberry juice to a soft boil. Combine cinnamon, ginger, and nutmeg into a tea ball and steep it in the mixture for 15 minutes. Let it cool, then add orange and lemon juice to the mix. Add a natural sweetener for taste.

Important elements of a 3 day liver detox
Antioxidants not only protect liver cells from damage but also enhance bile production to better emulsify (mix) fats for absorption.
Spices, such as cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger break down fat, reduce appetite and help cleanse the liver from environmental pollutants.
Friendly bacteria in yogurt help further break down toxins in the liver for better absorption of vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and proteins.
Just by looking at the ingredients in the liver cleanse diet, I think most of us could manage on this plan for three days and probably feel much healthier for it.
