Welcome to the MYMODERNOASIS 7-Day Clean Eating Detox Plan.
Before we get started, we would like to congratulate you on taking the first step towards a healthy, better future. Well done!
Now, let’s begin with an introduction to the daily meals inside this eating plan.
What’s included in the daily meals?
In this clean eating detox meal plan, we cut out all forms of added sugar (this includes: honey, maple syrup, and all other sweeteners), and load up on delicious whole foods for a week of clean eating. Instead of sweet juices and low nutrition salads, you will find lots of fresh fruits and vegetables, fiber-rich whole grains, lean protein, and healthy fats.
The idea is to eat a balanced meal every 3 hours in order to keep your sugar levels balanced throughout the day so that you don’t end up suddenly feeling extreme hunger or tiredness.
There are no cheat meals, no slip-ups for just 7 days!
During your 7-day detox period, try not to eat outside the meal plan. Prepare to make your own meals in advance to avoid temptations during this balanced week of clean eating, it will help you feel more energized, refreshed, and will help you lose weight.

Harness the power of superfoods
Superfoods are plant-based foods which are known to be nutritionally dense and good for health. We know that there are many conflicts about the term “SUPERFOOD” and that some say it’s only a marketing gimmick, but everyone agrees that eating foods which are loaded with nutrients is always a good idea.
Example of superfoods
Dark green leaves such as kale, chard, and spinach
Nutritional benefits: folate, zinc, calcium, iron, magnesium, vitamin C, and fiber.
Berries
Nutritional benefits: packed with vitamins, minerals, fiber, and antioxidants.
Green tea
