Last week, Kelly Ripa revealed on "Live! With Kelly And Michael" that she was on a new cleanse diet that changed her life.
Now, Dr. Daryl Gioffre has revealed the details of this very manageable high-alkaline cleanse, which Ripa believes is completely responsible for healing her recent pain.
Those interested in this cleanse will be relieved to learn that this isn't one of those all-liquid, green- juice-only-type of cleanses, according to E! News. Ripa even says that she finds herself eating more than she normally did.
Chiropractor and nutritionist Gioffre has said that it's called the AlkaMind "Get Off Your Acid" cleanse. It is a 7-day cleanse full of alkaline-rich foods, and his clients have lost anywhere from five to fourteen pounds while on it, he says.
"It was my goal to create this 7-day cleanse that wasn't going to do all those things that people think about cleanses," Gioffre revealed. "Everyone thinks you're going to be starving all week. And you have to drink this green, nasty bug juice, or you're going to be in the bathroom all week, and you're going to be miserable."
The diet involves avoiding highly acidic foods and instead eating foods like kale, spinach, nuts and whole grains. You are also not allowed to eat any dairy or meat products during the seven days.
"Some people even eat more," he admits. "You're eating nutrient-dense, alkaline food that is very cleansing for the body. I think that's why the success rate on this cleanse is so high, people are enjoying the process."
The diet involves a Mint Morning Blast Smoothie, a Quinoa Burrito Bowl and Avocado Chocolate Mousse. The full recipes for these meals can be viewed on E! Online.
