The following is an excerpt from the "The Ultimate 7 Day Cleanse" on-line course. If you would like to enroll in the course, click here.

Our 7-day clean eating program gives you all of the tools to boost your health in a way that feels comfortable for you depending on your needs, lifestyle, and wellbeing.

You get to choose how you experience the cleanse.

We offer two options:

* Gentle Cleanse: 7 days of clean eating with juicing

or

* Deep-Dive Detox: 4 days of clean eating and 3 days of juice fasting

Regardless of which track you choose, we will be with you every step of the way with daily emails, video support, forums, written material, and delicious recipes to help you get healthy, transition into and out of a juice fast safely and easily (should you choose that option), and help you get the fullest, most amazing benefits from this week together.

The recipes are loaded with nutrients and are really delicious so you can enjoy them beyond the cleanse. You can also repeat the entire program at anytime to stay healthy.

Preparation

Many people in our community have reported uncomfortable cleanse experiences following other programs. The most common cause of discomfort is inadequate preparation, and transitioning too quickly back into regular eating. A successful and responsible juice fast calls for adequate transitions; both going in and coming out.

To cleanse and fast in the most comfortable way and harvest the fullest results, the foods you eat directly before and after a fast are very important. Our program contains a menu plan that is specifically designed for a gentle cleanse experience with easy recipes, video support, and tips for body work and other wellness practices to help enhance your results and minimize any detox symptoms.

Please follow the guidelines below before you begin the program for the most comfortable experience.

3 to 4 Days Prior To Beginning The Cleanse

Slowly eliminate the following items by about 25% each day until you've removed them:

* processed foods (pre-packaged food in a box, can, or wrap)
* animal protein (meat, chicken, fish, eggs)
* dairy products (milk, butter, cream, cheese, sour cream, ice cream)
* gluten
* grains
* fried foods
* sugar (refined sugar, artificial and natural sweeteners)
* caffeine
* nicotine
* alcohol
* recreational drugs

By slowly transitioning off of these difficult-to-assimilate items you will minimize potential detox symptoms such as headaches, sinus drainage, and achiness, and your cleanse experience will be easier and more comfortable.

If you consume several of the items above regularly, you may want to extend the preparation period and wean yourself off of them over the course of a week or two weeks.
