Hey girl! Especially from a doctor's standpoint, whose training in nutrition is minimal and is probably based on the ol' Food Pyramid, yep, I'm sure high protein freaks her out. An organic diet, to me, sounds pretty close to a cleansing diet that I recommend after any extended period of high protein dieting. Protein helps support muscle growth, however lots of protein and a restricted diet = lots of waste & by-products (e.g. free radicals) left over in your system with no or limited enzymes & stuff that would normally help clean it all out.
A couple of times when my metabolism has really been bottomed out, I've run a cleansing diet. Yes it is high carb / high sugar (not refined but natural) but its essentially like a front-loading of enzymes. Because of the low calories and mostly-liquid form, I have never run this for more than a week because you just start feeling exhausted because there's only "instant energy" coming from the simple carbs and not much to really run on after a while.
Here's a repost from a diff board when I set up a plan to cleanse & then ease back into "regular" (LMAO --- 'regular' is a relative term to a BB) diet:
I think its a good idea to clean out the system occassionally, especially when you think of all the crap that accumulates in the intestines and also when running a restricted diet such as a bb diet which eliminates most if not all fruits and high sugar vegies. Those things are high in sugar (and thus promote insulin spikes, etc) but they have great enzymes for cleansing that are otherwise eliminated from your diet. Note, if you have been eating garbage for a long time and do this sort of diet, you may get headaches, etc. while the "garbage" is being shuttled out of your body, but afterwards you really feel good. Also not that this really shouldn't be run for much more than a week because of the restricted calories.
So on the suggestion of a friend, I rejuvenated a cleansing diet I did a couple years ago after some wild dieting for competition. I ran this with a "intestinal cleanser" called Oxy-Powder (oxy-powder.com) for the week. This stuff will clean out the pipes but good! For informational purposes, here's the detox diet I followed for 5 days:
Waking:
water + fresh squeezed lemon - this is supposed to "wake up your body"
spirulina + pineapple juice (I used this organic powder stuff from Whole Foods)
EFAs
Multi
Meal 1:
juiced watermelon (throw 2 slices of watermelon in the juicer, rind & all)
(this is also good for reducing water retention)
Meal 2:
brown rice
mixed vegies
1 egg, 5 egg whites
Meal 3:
large salad w/ vinegar & flax oil
Meal 4:
juiced vegetables (spinach, carrots, beets, wheatgress, some cherry tomatoes, green peppers, sprouts - basically whatever was in the fridge)
Meal 5:
miso soup (low sodium)
Meal 6:
fiber drink
It was kind of boring, stayed near the bathroom, would start getting tired because of the low calories, and just trained (no cardio). My training was good, intense but with some weak spots due to some shoulder problems I've been having lately. The result was that I definitely dumped some water weight and I feel better in general. I sleep well & I haven't had a stomach ache since. I'm continuing the OxyPowder for the rest of this week but at the maintenance dose instead of the full-on cleansing dose.
Over the Mother's Day weekend I eased back into a non-cleansing diet by still eating some fruit, still juicing for vegies, but more protein and a little lemon meringue pie for Mother's Day.
After having completed that, my goal is to drop some bodyfat. Currently I"m probably 24% bf, 170. (Eek.) This week, I dug up the diet I used when I first attempted competition with a little modification to continue the ideas of the cleansing diet. For the first 4 weeks or so, I'll be following this:
Waking:
juiced fruit (green apples or watermelon) + spirulina
EFAs
Multi
Meal 1:
1/2 c oatmeal
1 1/2 scoop protein mix
Meal 2:
4 oz chicken
1/2 c brown rice
Meal 3:
Protein shake
Meal 4:
4 oz chicken
vegie salad
3 oz sweet potato
Postworkout ("Meal 5"):
Protein mix + 3 strawberries
Meal 6:
4 oz lean meat
vegies (this ends up being juiced vegies)
Meal 7 (if needed)
1/3 c tofu + 1 scoop protein mix or protein shake
=========================
about 1750 cal (excluding the morning juice - this will stop in a week)
Training:
M: chest + tris + abs, cardio
T: back + bis, cardio
W: legs
Th: cardio
F: shoulders + abs, cardio (if i feel like it)
The cardio has been a little lame because of coming off the cleansing diet (lowwwwwww cal)
