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!
