The cleanse.

There have been some requests for the "plan" I am following for the cleanse.

It's really pretty simple.

I eat as many fresh, organic vegetables as possible and 1/2 the amount of fruit.

I begin each morning with a fresh fruit smoothie made in my new vitamix.

I have a large salad with greens and any other vegetable topping I want. I sometimes add fruit and/or homemade soup from last night (also made in the vitamix).

For dinner I love having my ONE a day serving of brown rice or lentils made into something and a large portion of veggies.

Basically, I can make whatever I want with the following ingredients:

Brown rice (I love brown rice cakes) 1x per day

Lentils (I love lentil soup) 1x per day

Yams/ sweet potatoes (1/2 per day at max)

All Fruits.

Oils: Olive oil or Avocado (1/2 is a serving)

All Vegetables (2x more veggies than fruit).

Any vinegars, spices and herbs.

*** All foods should be fresh or frozen. Consume as many raw foods as possible.

NO:

• Starches (beans, breads, pasta, etc.) I do allow soy.
• Dairy (Cheese, milk, yogurt).
• Meat.
• Sugars (Unless natural from fruits)
• Caffeine.
• Canned or dried foods.

That's it! I'm not even working out right now. Although I am on my feet, running around a lot at work.

Going for another 7 pounds this month!
