REBOOT TO A HEALTHIER YOU {BY STEPHANIE SOMERS}! 20 Mar 2012

Hi All-

I did my first 3 Day Lithe Foods Detox Meal plan and I thought you might like some feedback.

I decided to do it on a whim. When I saw you posted that there was one meal plan up for grabs, something inside me said, "Go for it!" You see, I have been super stressed lately and thought I generally do not eat junk, I do drink wine and coffee and could use a few more veggies in my daily regimen. But my goal was more to detox my mind more or less. I have always said the state of your mind reflects the state of your body. 

My overall opinion of the meal plan is very good. I liked the convenience of not cooking! I loved that the plan was heavy on the juices and liquids since I never drink enough water and I really believe the liquids kept me hydrated through my Lithe workouts over the 3 days. The food tasted good but keep in mind I will consume anything regardless of flavor if I think it is good for me. 

My energy level was a little low when I was doing my Lithe classes in the evening during the 3 Day Detox meal plan. But I just did my best and pushed through the classes at a less vigorous intensity. But interestingly my energy level during the day and especially my mind's clarity (which was really my reason for doing the detox) was super strong. I attribute that to the raw foods. I was surprised that the size of the meals were so small compared to my normal serving sizes. But I never craved for anything and was not hungry ever. Even when my assistant Mary and my husband Chris were eating french fries, drinking soda, and flaunting their delicious smelling sandwiches at me during lunch all 3 days! That tells me the meals were balanced. I typically get hungry a lot between meals. 

The only alterations I made to the meal plan was adding a few celery sticks to the dinner meal and I dashed a little cayenne or added fresh ginger to the soup and salads just because I like foods that bite back! And today, day 4, really I miss the morning green drink that I enjoyed for breakfast over the past 3 days : (  

Highly recommend for someone stressed or in need of some brain detox. I feel good and plan on incorporating this into my life seasonally. 

Thanks guys. I think you are on to something here!
