For the purpose of this detox, here are the foods that are allowed and not allowed.
The idea is for the diet to be clean i.e. whole, unprocessed, no additives, no preservatives, gluten free, dairy free, sugar free, refined foods free, easy to digest and free of other common food allergens.
Allowed: fruit except oranges, vegetables except corn, grains - rice, oats, buckwheat, millet, tapioca, arrowroot, amaranth, quinoa, teff, legumes except soy, nuts and seeds except peanuts, lamb, poultry and fish, rice/almond/oat/coconut milk (no dairy), cold pressed oils, water, herbal tea, brown rice syrup, molasses, stevia
Not allowed: oranges, corn, gluten containing grains, soy, peanuts, beef, pork, processed meats, eggs, shellfish, dairy, margarine, pop, coffee, tea or any other caffeine, chocolate, soy sauce, mustard, relish, ketchup, BBQ sauce, sugar, honey, maple syrup, corn syrup, candy, desserts, most bread, pasta, cereal
I tend to eat a lower carbohydrate diet generally, so my consumption of some of the allowable things like rice, brown rice syrup and molasses will be pretty limited.
Yours in health,

Purging, Splurging, Psyching, Stocking
Detox day 1 is coming up on Monday November 2nd. I'm preparing myself by:
1. Purging - I don't have a lot of unhealthy food in my home, but I do have things like gluten-free allergen free, naturally sweetened cookies and soy milk that I won't be allowed for the 28 days of the detox. So I'm using up those things now for the next few days.
2. Splurging - I'm going to miss my soy chai lattés! So I'm relishing the last few before the big detox starts next week.
3. Psyching - It's going to be a fairly big change. Not that my diet is unhealthy, but the recommended foods on the detox are not necessarily things I eat every day like quinoa. We are all fairly attached to our eating habits and so making a big habit change for the next 28 days is an undertaking that requires getting into the right mindset.
4. Stocking - Shopping for things like quinoa and shopping around for recipes that fit into the program. Fortunately the guide book supplied with the Ultra Clear Plus gives fairly detailed menu plans and recipes.
Yours in health,
Pamela
