People who have never done a cleanse before often want to know “WHY?”

They usually feel that the body should take care of detoxing on its own. Well, between the air we breathe, the water we drink and food we consume, we are constantly taking in toxins and pollutants.

The body desires a state of health and balance, but it needs the proper fuel to run optimally.  And even with the right fuel, the body still needs an oil change as does your car!!! You change your car oil on a regular basis, so why not treat your body with a maintenance program? After all we are talking about our body!!!  It should be treated with the utmost of care and love.   How does your car run when its neglected – without an oil change, or replaced clean filters? Not optimally that’s for sure –

My WOW Detox Program is an opportunity to change the oil (cleanse the blood), recharge your battery (immune system), and cleanse your exhaust system (kidneys, pancreas, colon, liver).

The end result is a healthy body full of energy, mental clarity, positive mindset and weight loss too!!

Did you know that when you eat is just as important as what you eat? Ideally you should eat breakfast within 2 hours of waking up. You should be fueling your body every 3-4 hours during the day.

Keep stoking your metabolism by having 2 snacks in between your 3 main meals. This will keep your blood sugar levels up!

Apple with Natural Organic Peanut Butter
Carrots/Celery with Humus
Plain Greek Yogurt with Crushed Walnuts (or almonds) and Berries of your choice
Baked Rome Apple topped with Cinnamon, Walnuts and a dash of Light Olive Oil
Organic Free Range Eggs – hardboiled, or make an omelette

On the go and need a quick snack? Here are some snacks that act like mini energy boosters:

Walnuts
Sunflower Seeds
Pumpkin Seeds
Sesame Seeds

The good news is that these snacks can be found in most convenience stores and airport shops.

Skip on the Sweets – Ok you are drained and you just need alitttle somethin’. Typically we are looking for the “Sugar “Rush”. But the truth is: sugar gives a temporary lift and with all things that go up you will come down and Crash. The bottom line is you feel worse than when you started. Add to that the never-ending sense of guilt!!!!

TIP: Never eat anything labeled “Fat Free” – that’s code for the fat has been removed and replaced with sugar.

CHALLENGE: Avoid sugar like the plague for 24 hours. Note how much your energy level increases.
