Day 1
On Waking
One cup of warm lemon or lime water (we use a delicious Italian organic variety in a bottle)
One cup of flax seed broth
(Boil water and pour over 2 tbsp. of flax seeds the night before your detox)
Why? These drinks clear out your bowels and digestive system. Be prepared you may need to run to the washroom.
Exercise
Take a 2o minute brisk walk. (You can have your kids or pets along on this one)
Why? To get your metabolism fires burning. Just like a car on a cold winters morning, you need to get yourself going.
Breakfast
Large Fruit Salad Berry Compote
1/2 small tub of blueberries, raspberries and strawberries Why? Berries are good for your liver. Nourishing the liver is key for detoxification.

Mid-Morning
Fruit Juice
1/2 a pineapple or more passed through a juicer
If you don’t have a juicer you can buy juice but make sure it is pure pineapple juice. Brandon uses a Vitamix, the same kind the juicing bars use, it's powerful and with a little added water it will give you a pulpy juice.

Before Bed
Drink a cup of warm water with lemon and enjoy the benefits of the weekend.
This detox is based on one we have been doing for years by an British woman, Gillian McKeith. We are very pleased with the results we get when using her detox and clean eating program.

Detox Results
I am feel free of aches and pains, no lies. My mind is clear and as free as the big blue sky. Best of all my energy levels gradually improved throughout the weekend. I am all ready to conquer a good week of training and start to see some awesome results. Most of all I look forward to a great sleep tonight and some solid food tomorrow. We are having oatmeal in the morning, oh how I will enjoy that first meal of the day.
Can I hear a Yee-haw? I know I have inspired two of my girlfriends to detox, I hope I inspire you too. Please share your experiences, I love hearing other peoples stories.
Until next time "Be Strong",
Miss Jane
