18-day Quick Start program
Setting Expectations for Success
STEP 1- The Induction Phase, Days 1-3
For the first three days in The Plan, you’ll eat only above-ground, non-starchy veggies, avoid all oils and refined sugars, and drink enough water (6-8 glasses/day) to stay hydrated. During this time, it’s recommended you do a kitchen makeover to create a positive environment for your success. Purge your pantry, fridge, and freezer of food that doesn’t support your new healthy choices.
STEP 2- The Therapeutic Phase, Days 4-18
For the next fifteen days, you’ll expand your food repertoire to include a wide variety of whole, plant-based foods— grains, fruits, beans, peas, nuts, and above- and below-ground vegetables. Continue to avoid refined oils and sugars. Use salt moderately. Keep drinking plenty of water. To ensure success, plan meals and prepare food in advance so you aren’t tempted to make last-minute unhealthy choices.
Repeat as Necessary. The Journal has tracking pages for two 18 day cycles. Share the experience with a friend or do a second 18 days – its your choice.
