Whole Body Detox Diet TestimoniesSince I read a book on the Western Diet I've decided to try to eat more Organic & Healthier. Someone mentioned the Green Smoothie Diet and I came across your website. Just the reading on your website and the Free Start up kit has made me even more excited about my new lifestyle change. I have passed your website on to my family & friends! Thanks so much! ~ Cherripye I just want to sincerely thank you both for providing such a professional, well-thought-out, and deeply informative web site and start up kit. As someone who has studied wholistic health, nutrition, and herbal studies, I approach most websites like this with caution and a skeptical eye. Cleansing can be dangerous when the focus is purely on elimination rather than helping the body to cleanse and restore itself. I am very glad I found this. For as much as I'm aware of many of these principles I am excited to have some outside guidance and inspiration. Thank you very much! It is rare to come across people who honestly want to help make health more attainable to all. ~ Danielle "Since doing my first guided cleanse with you last year, I have continued to improve my lifestyle in regards to diet, which has also had beneficial effects on my emotional, psychological, and spiritual health. Many thanks for the knowledge, and support you both provide in the guided cleanses. It has made a huge difference in my life." ~Mary F., British Columbia, Canada
"I just wanted to tell you how much I love this website. When I get one of your emails in my inbox it brightens my day. Thanks for all you do and thank you for the passion and joy that is evident in your work!" ~Kathleen
"Well, first of all everything I have made so far has been delicious, and secondly, it has been much easier than I anticipated to stick to the "prescribed" cleanse...I'm really enjoying the healthy abundance of good foods running through my body...and it is perfect timing as I have been trying to transition dairy and sugar out of my diet." ~Monica, Massachusetts
Thank you so much for guiding this detox. The recipes were delicious, not just for a cleanse, but for regular every day eating. It was really helpful to have a focus for the week. It's difficult for me to do something like this on my own, but knowing there was a whole community out there along with me, and you two as "cheerleaders" made it so much easier. I will definitely do the cleanse again. Thank you again for this wonderful gift you are giving to the community. ~ Wilderness, Massachusetts
hello gals, ~ deer, Massachusetts I just found your website and it is AWESOME! I got all the information I was looking for from your site to begin my first detox. I am really impressed to have found all that I was looking for on one site. Keep up the good work. ~ Rachelle I am so excited and happy to have found this website, I've been back and forth trying to find a complete yet simple page with real and accessible info about organic food, guidelines, detox etc. Your website has all these and much more. I have made it one of my favorite sites. I admire you both and congratulate you for this great contribution. ~ Lizzette I just completed my week and I feel really good. It felt good to completely eliminate all meat, dairy, wheat and refined sugar. I already have a plan to repeat this with two friends over the summer. Thank you, I learned so much. ~ Pharr, Massachusetts What an amazing site you have set up - I'm so excited to embark on the whole body detox diet. Your website is incredibly thorough and easy to navigate. You have provided exactly what I've been looking for and I just know I will get great results! Thanks again, and take care! ~ Sara, Ohio Thanks so much for posting these great recipes. I am now on an allergy elimination diet and these are perfect!!!! ~ Cathy, Colorado Just to thank you for your great contribution to mankind and being there for people like us...God bless!!! ~ Nayana, Mumbai, India About two years after my second daughter was born I was feeling unhealthy, fatigued, moody and about 30 pounds overweight. All the dieting tips I tried just made me frustrated and confused about what to eat. I was fed up and starting to resent food! Then I found your detox website. The holistic information and sensible approach was the first thing I found that made sense. The information and tools I received put it all into perspective for me. Creating my own detox plan using your start up kit and recipes helped me kick start my weightloss. During the initial detox I lost 20 pounds! It just slid off...it felt like I wasn’t even trying!! I learned some great new habits during the detox that I kept up with and the weight continued to come off. Now, three months later, I'm 30 pounds lighter, full of energy and feeling so much better. The best part is that it feels like my body is finally clearing out the extra weight and that I'll definitely be able to keep it off. ~ Amanda, Colorado Just had to thank you for the wonderful web page and all your great information!! My father was very recently diagnosed with cancer and is trying to change his diet and way of life. I forwarded the info and both my folks really appreciated the info. My mom is currently reading a book on detoxing and said your website is much more informative and user-friendly. They, in turn, forwarded it to many of their friends! ~ Karen, Idaho
The Whole Body 7 Day Detox Diet was just what I needed to turn my eating habits around. I love to eat sugar and I also find myself eating wheat and dairy products because they are quick. The most helpful thing about the detox week for me was being told what to eat and being supplied with the recipe. Instead of dreading what to make for dinner, I looked forward to it! When I saw the detox plan, I thought this is something I can definately do, but I knew I had to plan and set aside time to make this my number one priority. I looked forward to not having to think about what to eat and being able to prepare new recipes. The banana bread was really really good, and the cherry almond shake too. I didn't even need the other desserts and snacks because I was so satisfied with the meals - and it fed my whole family for a week! Planning is everything - it sets a positive intention. I'm going to keep doing it! ~ Angela, Colorado “What I enjoyed most about working with this detox diet plan is that I was able to make this very elemental shift in how I approach the notion of a "detox." My prior experience with detoxing was that nearly all of the detoxes I tried (many!) created a violent reaction in my body and mind. I know that these reactions are the release of toxins, and after this release I did feel better... but working with the Whole Body Detox Diet helped me realize it doesn't have to be violent. It really can be gentle! The effect this has had in my life is that when I begin to feel sluggish or intuit that my digestion has slowed down, I can refer to the detox ladder and eliminate foods for a few days as I choose. If I am still not feeling as vibrant as I'd like, I have the skills and knowledge to tweak my diet intuitively. The connections I made while on the guided detox were invaluable: I gleaned that I really can clean my body with love! I don't need to detox my body violently! The choice is mine.” ~ Holly, Indiana Just wanted to let you know how incredibly good I feel. Thank you!! I'm so glad I did this. I'm running and jumping through the house, been exercising everyday, my body feels light and relaxed. I've been running like an animal through the landscape... awesome things are happening in my life. Just thought you'd like to know. ~ Andy, Colorado I am doing well on the detox, and very much appreciate the support, and all the wonderful combined wisdom on the website. It's obvious you both are very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about sharing what you know. The website is terrific! Love the recipes! I am finding that I do better, and have more motivation, with a little help. I have tried detoxing before, many different ones, and never quite fulfilled my intentions with them. Perhaps I was not aware enough of what I needed orr didn't have the right tools. This one feels great, and I know it will be easy to succeed… Of course I have some detox symptoms, but they are mild and manageable. And the benefits are rolling in. I already feel energized, need less food, focused and clear… I am eating lightly...and not feeling hungry. I hadn't thought it would be this easy, as I have been hypoglycemic most of my life. The light food fills and nourishes me. I don't find I need protein at every meal and I'm getting lots of high quality plant based protein. I'm not missing animal protein at all… No cravings for the old way of eating. No cravings for anything. This amazes me…I'm really liking this moderate approach to cleansing, thank you. ~ Mary, Canada My favorite new detox food? All of them! I especially love green smoothies. I love the tongue scraper and body brush. My detox symptoms are pretty much gone...the bambino also had detox symptoms and hers are gone too. I think the tea must have really helped... also all the nice raw snacking really was huge for the extra energy. I am definately experiencing some really positive changes in my body, definately building on some extra energy, feeling excited for the future! I’ve been sleeping well also. Thanks again. ~ Erin, California Thank you for your wonderful inspiring e-mails and for this program. I was unable to make the call yesterday, but I was out at the park with the kids, having a great time in the sunshine. I wanted to let you know that I feel great! The first two days were really tough for me. I was traveling and spent most of my time in the airports, driving, or on the airplane. Not easy to follow my detox diet... but I did it! I was really proud of myself. I did not give in to any of my usual temptations while out of the home, not a single one! I had a low grade headache the first two days, but it quickly dissipated upon returning home to my family. Also, I took a break from my usual long walks with the girls and took a long nap with them yesterday and also went to bed at 8 with them last night. Good to get some much needed sleep - it was a welcome change from my exercise routine. Your e-mail about sleep yesterday spoke to me! Enjoying my morning smoothie and detox tea right now. Big bottle of water here for later on. Many, many thanks, I feel wonderful! ~ Krissy, Colorado Cleanse is going fabulously, thank you. I love the recipes, we are eating well, loving the tea and find the info you've provided really helpful. We are experiencing some detox symptoms and I was happy to see your email with a link to that. Your website is really a wonderful resource, you both have done such a great job at making it accessible. One thing we keep saying is ‘they’ (meaning you two and the website 'voice') are so gentle, so inclusive, so encouraging… Thanks and peace, ~ Deer, Massachusetts Planning was a lot of fun! Making a list, for pre-planned meals is a great way to get organized for shopping trips (especially when one has to chase around a little one in the store). I really enjoyed the structure that was brought to my days during the detox. Waking up and knowing exactly what I was going to be doing, instead of dilly-dallying around until lunch, set my days up with surprisingly positive results. At first, I felt the program, for me, would be a breeze. As it wasn't much of a stretch from my normal eating habits. Then in the midst of the week I found it to be quite difficult to stay on track to the commitment. I had to reach deep to find the determination while temptations were present. If you call feeling rebellious a syptom, I had it. I so wanted to just give in at times (we took a road trip so it was really hard to stick to the program then). So, I had to look deep into myself and ask why was I really doing this? When the answer came, continuing was easy. I felt clear and light, with not only my physical self but with my internal self as well. I would recommend this plan to anyone who is feeling lost with where they want to be with their diet. This plan is a great way to ease into a healthy wholesome way of living. For that someone who is lost, and feeling like a change is needed to their eating habits, this packet is priceless. For it isn't just a detox plan, it's a way of life. And, who can put a pricetag on finding true health? ~ Melissa, Oregon My husband and I planned meals, shopped and encouraged one another throughout our first detox experience during the Holiday Recovery Group Detox. We had fun trying new foods and new recipes, and we've decided to make all of the ones we tried staples of our ongoing diet. During the detox, we both experienced detox symptoms, but by the time we hit day 5....we were feeling powerful!! New and clean are words that accurately describe how we felt. The effort that went into planning and executing the detox was well worth it. We've proven to ourselves that good, whole food tastes great and makes us feel great. ~ Tamara, New Jersey After trying to lose weight for several years in my 50’s, I decided it was an impossibility. Now, despite being very well educated on natural foods since the 1970’s, I finally learned the critical pieces for my health success during Holistic Health Counseling from Jo and the guidance of both Cindy and Jo, through the Holiday Recovery Detox. I have begun losing weight and I am confident I will return to my most healthy body weight. More importantly I am restoring my health, building my immune system, and feeling more alert and energetically young! ~ Pamela, Colorado I have wanted to email you how much I appreciate you both and sharing the detox challenge and diet for us.... and especially all the time you took on the calls to go into detail with my questions... I want to be able to send a great note explaining how I have been blessed by the process... I am just gonna send you a simple "thank you" for now because it's important to me to let you know it has made a great mental and physical difference for me personally. Thank you so much for all you have done! ~ Alisha, Idaho I'm grateful for the group process during this detox - yesterday's conference call helped strengthen my motivation, as well as this morning's journal quote - "The important thing is this: to be able at any moment to sacrifice what we are for what we could become." Good medicine... Also I have found that the shopping preparation beforehand and the meal menu planning to be great supports. Part of my problem has been with not planning ahead, and then after work at the end of the day, being too tired and unmotivated to want to cook something nutritious. I like the graphic format of your 7-day menu planner in the deluxe program, and wondered if you would consider making available a blank form that we could print off the computer. I'm already thinking ahead about how to keep this up once the detox is over. Also the journal was just the support I needed this morning when I woke up head-achy and unmotivated and slightly anxious. I sat outside in the sun with my breakfast and journal and felt through your questions and my answers that my momentum was returning and more clarity as to why I wanted this for myself. Last year I downloaded your free kit, but didn't go ahead with the detox until I received your invitation to do it with the group. I will share this with others, as I feel your program's philosophy is intelligent, safe, and supportive. ~ Kate, Massachusetts Return from Detox Diet Testimonies to Home Page |
