Tofu

What is your opinion on Tofu during a detox?

Answer: Tofu is known as a high protein health food that many vegetarians and vegans use to replace meat and dairy in their diet. It's made from soymilk through a relatively simple process.

Whether you should use tofu during your detox diet depends on you. It is a fairly simple food that provides plenty of calcium and protein. It could be a valuable addition to your diet if you are transitioning away from highly processed foods and animal products.

However, if you are already eating a vegetarian diet with very few chemically processed foods, tofu may be a good thing to leave out of your detox diet plan. As a processed food it is lacking the full nutritional integrity that whole foods provide. In our recipes and menu plans we aspire to use genuine whole foods as much as possible. In our 1 Week Detox Diet Plan you'll find that the protein and calcium your body needs will be provided through whole beans, nuts and seeds.

If you decide to include tofu in your detox or regular diet, please choose Organic, Non-GMO varieties. Soybeans are one of the crops most highly sprayed with chemical pesticides. Soybeans are one of the most genetically modified crops grown, as well. Choosing Organic, Non-GMO soybean products is essential to supporting your detox and longterm health.
