Doing Your Shopping

One thing I forgot to mention...Nature's Pantry is closed on Sundays. So try not to put off your cleanse week shopping for Sunday in case you need to go to Nature's Pantry. It's also a smart idea to take 30 minutes or so to map out the meals for your first day or two ahead of time so you're not hungry as hell and struggling to think of something to make.

You do not need to buy the probiotic, colon cleanser and dandelion root tincture. These, and more, will be in your cleanse kits which will be in this week. I'll let you know as soon as it's all here and ready for you at the studio.

I had a question about non-fat/low-fat variations of foods. You can eat anything you like that's called "non-fat" or "low-fat" during the prep week but during the cleanse we're not thinking about fat except in the context of eating good fat and giving our bodies fat, like avocado and olive oil, when we're feeling *really* hungry. We're eating all natural foods during the cleanse week so we are really not eating things that are in boxes or cans anyway. If unsure, just ask!

If you want to know about a food item that's not on the list, please just ask me! You can ask here on the blogsite so everyone can learn from it or email/call me.

I have a question about frozen fruit and frozen edamame, are they approved?? I was also wondering where the flaxseed oil is I could not for the life of me find it at Nature's Pantry I'm sure I was probably overlooking it but thought I would check with the "cleanse crew" to see if anyone found it.

Peace

Frozen fruit is ok but unless you're making a smoothie of some kind, it's usually not desirable in terms of texture, etc. Make sure there are no additives (like frozen peaches in syrup or something like that).
Edamame is approved for days 5 and 6 as it is considered a protein in terms of its digestability.
I'm blanking on where the flaxseed oil is at NP but one of the store people could easily tell you since it's a hot seller. I want to say it's in the "fridge" section of the herbs and supplements department but that's just a vague memory guess.
Love,
