You know what to eat.
We all know what to eat.
But sometimes, we get a little distracted, a little bored, a little emotional, a little rebellious… and a little food-fatigued. Sometimes, we just want someone to tell us what to eat.
Lucky for you, I love to share. This three-day menu is from a 6-week Cleanse program I run three times per year. It’s food-based and jam-packed with phytonutrients, amino acids, omega 3’s and other nutrients that just make you feel good! If that’s not enough to motivate you, two-thirds of the group consistently loses 8 pounds in the first week (and they keep it off)!
Follow the plan for three days, then repeat it. The next day is Christmas. Give Santa your milk and cookies.
