Announcing the 2^nd Annual Group Spring Cleanse.

It’s the crazy sexy “Take Back Your Closet” cleanse….

This year our launch date will be Monday April 1 and the adventure will continue for 28 days.

If you want to do a full on, all out CLEANSE, check out www.ejuva.com this is the boot camp of cleansing.  Last spring we had 10 people in our group, ranging in age from 20’s to 70’s and most of us lost weight even if that wasn’t the primary goal.  Additional benefits included the reduction in or ability to stop completely the use of OTC medication for heart burn & acid reflux, better sleep, increased energy.  We experienced an overall realization that if you take the inflammatory food out of your diet, you remove it from your body and have less PAIN.  You also have less cushy fluffiness which means those clothes in your closet look and feel better on your body.   I think each of us learned at least one thing about our relationship with food that would continue to enhance our health moving into the year. 

General guidelines: avoid common allergens such as gluten, dairy or sugar - yeah… that means no wine. Avoid packaged foods; they have a lot of hidden (or not so hidden) weirdness!  Consume lots of moist succulent non starchy veggies (such as lettuce, kale, raw carrots, jicama, cucumber, celery…) and when possible drink delicious, vibrant vegetable juices.  You’ll find it easier to control what you eat if you lovingly prepare your food at home!

Last year we had one cleanse participant who elected to consume only raw nourishment, some who ate a vegetarian diet (or maybe that was just me!) and many who ate meat but made sure it was “properly raised” and I don’t mean well mannered!   Each of us tried to eat low on the food chain and all this fabulous fuel was to be as clean and unprocessed as possible.

If you want to go lighter and easier but still want to shake things up, I’ll plant some ideas and you can go from there….

                Think about your goals…

                Do you want to lose weight?

                Do you just want to consume more veggies?

                Do you want to see how you feel without all those inflammatory foods and more veggies without the extra herbal crevice deep sweep (ie: ejuva herbs)?

Whatever you decide, if you want to participate in the group cleanse there is only one requirement… choose your path and jump in with both feet!  No fence riding in our party!  The virtual group will offer some support.  I will send periodic group emails and post comments, recipes, challenges etc on my blog but feel free to invite a pal if that enhances your experience.

Those who choose boot camp, ( www.ejuva.com ) need to RSVP to me by 3/10/13 so that we can get the product ordered and delivered in a timely manner.  Even though he ships express, product is made to order and comes with a lengthy directional CD that you will probably want to read thoroughly, so we need to allow for production, delivery and reading time.  As a licensed health coach and a member of the American Association of Drugless practitioners I will pass my savings on to you which is typically 40% off the retail price on the website.  Sales tax and shipping charges will apply.

Happy Cleansing!
