Look and Feel Amazing!
We know you want to!
It’s that time of the year again…
Right after summer, before the holidays and at the change of the season!
That’s right…. it is time for the Standard Process Purification Program.
Many, many people have done the 21 day program with us over the last five years and have had fantastic results. While that option is of course available for those who want it, Standard Process is now also offering a 10 day option!!!
Live your life in high resolution with the
Standard Process Purification Program
Are you hungry for good health? Experience the benefits of helping your body cleanse with the Standard Process Purification Program. The purification program combines a generous menu of whole foods with supplements that support the body’s ability to remove naturally occurring toxins. This promotes a state that allows for toxin release.
Much More Than a Cleanse Diet
The Standard Process Purification Program is not strictly a cleanse diet but rather a structured program that combines whole food eating with supplements, nutritious supplement shakes, and light exercise. The menu includes an abundance of fresh vegetables and fruit. Select proteins are added after the first few days.
Check out the guide here : Standard Process Purificaton Guide
Check out the last time we did the cleanse in the office for menu suggestions. Sample Menu

We plan to start as a group on October 1st so that it is easy to keep track of what day you are on but of course you can start whenever you want!

Comments Off on Cleanse Day 2.
Over the years I had been to many Standard Process seminars (the company that we use for the cleanse). Most of the people there had done the cleanse many times. I was intimidated by the idea that it was 21 whole extremely long days! I had to admit though that the people who did it regularly really did look healthier.
I started cleansing 5 years ago before a high school reunion. Three weeks before my high school reunion someone I knew was on his third week of the cleanse. I realized those three weeks passed and I couldn’t even remember what I ate or had done. There he was in his third week, had lost 10 pounds and looked sharper and clearer in his eyes. With three weeks until that reunion I thought why don’t I use that time wisely?
I was shocked at how easy it was for me. The cleanse is designed to supply the nutrients you need plus you are eating meals so you are never hungry.
I have done this cleanse every year since that high school reunion. Most years I have done it in the fall and the spring. Many people have now done it with me multiple times and we have seen fantastic results.
I usually start a cleanse on the 1st of the month so I easily know which day I am on but of course any time is great. I mention this because the three weeks between Thanksgiving and Christmas would be another perfect little window. December first is on the Sunday of Thanksgiving weekend. But of course any time is great.
Breakfast shake:
Blueberry, Lemon and Ginger

Lunch:
Parsnip Ginger Soup and Fruit Salad.
It was a large size and very filling.
Plus, my oldest and dear friends were in from out of town for the last 2 days and we had been eating amazing, wonderful food and drinking so I was ready for this cleanse.

Dinner:
Kale and Quinoa Salad.

Brown Rice Pasta with Veggies.

Baked Cauliflower.

In other news, I got my acceptance letter on the mail today! As of October 2013, I will be a chiropractic student! I’m so excited.

Happy spring!
Smoothie: apple celery cucumber smoothie.

Exercise: arc trainer, 30 minutes; weights, 30 minutes. I think the arc trainer is the hardest low-impact cardio machine I’ve tried so far. Everyone makes it look so easy! That’s going to be me, soon(ish).
Lunch: grilled tilapia and veggies over wild rice salad from Gourmet Garage, mushroom puree and roasted shitake mushrooms from Cafe Clementine

Dinner: soup & salad!

Smoothie: celery pear ginger, just because.

Celery Pear Ginger Smoothie
(makes 2 servings)
1 cup coconut water
4 scoops SP Complete (Dairy-Free)
2 scoops Whole Food Fiber
1 ripe banana
1 ripe pear
6 celery stalks, cut into smaller sections
1 inch section of ginger
1 cup water
Combine, blend and enjoy!
Lunch: No time for lunch today 🙁 I drank a lot of water and didn’t really feel too hungry though.
Dinner: I was at Whole Foods picking up more coconut water and figured I might as well pick up dinner too.

Two whole days left! I’m amazed at how quickly that flew by. The way I see it, time is going to pass no matter what, might as well make the most of it.

Smoothie: I’ve gotten my morning smoothie session down to 5 minutes from 15. At the same time, I have no idea what I have and have not done at this point but there’s still a few more recipes I’d like to try out.
Lunch: Today was the first time I had meat at Chipotle! Their chicken is antibiotic-free, and pretty tasty.

Spring is coming! Only 4 days until spring, and 5 until completing the cleanse. I feel great!
Smoothie: There’s something about fresh ginger that makes me all toasty and warm inside no matter what the weather is like. I’m really liking the ginger and cinnamon combination these days.

Smoothie: apple celery smoothie. I didn’t really taste the celery, so I added fresh ginger and cinnamon and called it a day.

Exercise: cardio, 30 minutes.
Lunch: We took a little walk around Tribeca during lunch and got some goodies. Billy at Bell Bates makes an awesome green juice. We asked him to add lemon, apple and ginger to ours. Lisa picked up some tangelos, which we had for a post-lunch snack.

I’ve been craving the chicken quinoa salad at Pecan ever since day 11. It’s even better than I remembered with a little basalmic vinaigrette.

Dinner: yummy beet & spinach salad, broccoli rabe & mushroom brown pasta, and potato leek soup
