AmyA's 2-Day Cleanse (plan including ingredients)

HI all,

Happy Thanksgiving Sunday!  I am looking forward to our 2-day cleanse beginning tomorrow!  I was reading Natural Health Magazine last night and was inspired by their diet detox, so I've combined their plan into mine.  It's a very gentle cleanse & I believe you'll find it to be easy and satisfying. 

This cleanse will help flush out all the toxins, food additives, pesticides that build up and will reduce inflammation & restore alkalinity within the body.  As a result, you will feel more clarity, energized and will be better equipped to fight all the colds and viruses around you.  The plan including ingredients is provided in the link below.

2 Day Cleanse

Enjoy the cleanse & let me know how it's going.

Join me for a mini Detox Monday & Tuesday?

Hi everyone --- I've missed you!

I just got back from Guatemala last week and have been indulging more than usual on comfort foods ;-) 

So, I've decided to do a mini detox on Monday and Tuesday -- thought I would give you a heads up in case you would like to join me.  I'll post ingredients needed for the detox on Sunday.  It will be a combo of green juice, green smoothies and other detoxing foods.

Have a great Thanksgiving,
AmyA
