Three achievable goals she suggests are:

  2. Fill half your plate with vegetables at every meal.
  3. Cut out "white" foods, such as breads, crackers, French fries, etc.
In terms of doing a detox, Amy believes the body knows how to detox itself but that water consumption is a key part of allowing it to do it's job. Intermittent fasting (IF) is also an effective option, but it's important to ensure you're getting all your nutrients in during your eating window.
