Cleansing and detoxing have the best results when following Dr. Sebi’s Nutritional Guide. Fasting has proven to have significant benefits, but it’s not a mandatory requirement when participating in the program. Dr. Sebi approved of fasting but didn’t endorse any specific method. Remember, what works for one person may not work for everyone. Ultimately, Dr. Sebi recommended following the Nutritional Guide as a way to get healthy and stay healthy. We recommend that you start by following the guide and let your body adapt slowly to it; skip one meal a day until you build up to a full day (if you can) and move on. Adhering to Dr. Sebi's Nutritional Guide is essential, either to break the fast or during the window of time that you're allowed to eat. When you fast, digestion and other metabolic functions are put on hold. All energy goes towards healing and cleansing your body, so it's vital to break the fast with the proper foods. Soups based on the Nutritional Guide are ideal since they are nutrient-dense and easy to digest. For more information on cleansing and fasting, click the links below:
