Caffeine Getting rid of your caffeine diet will help you feel more balanced during your cleansing. Because caffeine is incredibly aggressive to the body, it can make you feel stressed and can stand in the way of your long term results. When you’re “easing in” you can have these products to avoid headaches and anxiety while you’re cleaning out your body, but many practitioners of the 999 Diet report that simply freeing yourself from caffeine and dairy is more beneficial and it’s a freedom from false energy sources. |

Snacks It’s not unusual to have that token sugar craving every now and then, but learning how to control it is the best way to obtain the results you want to see out of the 999 Diet. Supplement your sugar intake with foods such as bananas, oranges, and apples. |
 |
Stress When you are relaxed your body will function better, lose more weight, and burn more calories. Avoid stressful situations using techniques such as yoga, Pilates, and meditation. Stress is highly related to your digestive health. When you’re mind and your body are upset, then your digestive system feels it. That is why people feel “butterflies in their stomach” when they’re nervous or worried. Keeping yourself stress free will help ensure optimum digestion. |
 |
Processed Food When it comes to foods that contain preservatives and chemicals, your metabolism will slow down to a halt, causing you to gain weight. By keeping your food sources as raw as you can, you will maintain a healthy system and prevent long-term damage to your body. So stray away from microwaved meals and spend the time to prepare something beneficial for your body. |

Grain Grain is a part of our diet, but it’s important to regulate it. The structure of our digestive system was not designed to process a lot of grains. This is actually one of the main sources for obesity in America. Get away from white bread and pasta by controlling it and substituting them when you can with whole grain, fruits, and vegetables. |
 |
Commercial Juice Although much commercial juice claims to be “fresh” the fact of the matter is that it just isn’t. They usually contain chemicals and preservatives. Fresh juice contains active enzymes and more nutritional value that will benefit your body exponentially. |
 |
Dressing Eating salads and greens is incredibly beneficial for your body, but drenching it in salad dressing isn’t. Beware of dressing that uses too much mayo or cheese, especially when it comes to commercial dressings. Instead, learn how to make your own and discover the freedom that it brings. In fact, salad dressing is among the top three overweight factors in the U.S. A great substitute is extra virgin olive oil with a splash of balsamic vinegar. |
 |
Sweeteners Keep away from beverages that contain artificial sweeteners of excess corn syrup. If you do this you will lose weight twice as quickly guaranteed. Drinks suck as sodas (even diet sodas) are rich in artificial sweeteners and corn syrup. |
 |
Guilt Don’t feel guilty about the lifestyle you used to lead. That’s over with the 999 Diet. Instead, feel satisfied that you’ve taken the leap to improve your life and finally be the person you want to be. It doesn’t matter if you falter or fall behind a little bit after a bad day, with this program you can just jump right back on and continue on your track to success. Life doesn’t always behave the way we want it to, so if you get caught up in an unruly schedule, don’t sweat the small stuff. |
I have not done this diet yet – but i’m excited to start!!!!!!! – but one week I just stopped eating processed foods just for that week and I lost 5 pounds. I can’t wait to see how much I lose on this.
I didnt think i used that much sweetner then one day I counted – two in my coffee in the morning, then at least two diet sodas, then “sugar free” treats with lunch and for dessert. I had no idea. I quit cold turkey the day after that. I know thats not for everyone but I just decided I didn’t want it. And black coffee isnt that bad, who knew.
@Jane yeah no matter how safe they say the new ones are it’s like, how safe can it really be. best to eat natural foods anyway. congrats on quitting. I let myself sneak some once in a while but generally I try to stay away.
good to know about all these avoidable things. I feel like I needed this list 10 years ago from school.
It’s amazing what kinds of simple health and lifestyle choices are not taught in schools.
that’s cuz school sux. I’m an autodidact. Studied in the library.
Yeah. I remember first learning about fruit and vegetables and thinking. I hate these. And then I really learned how to cook raw…that was my step before juice.
Raw food diets are great to transition from Normal Food to Juice diets.
