Day 7 - This is it!
Every time I complete my own 7-day detox, I really enjoy this last day.
Whether you're continuing on for another 7 or 14 days, today is the day you can breathe a sigh of relief...
You Made It.
Another week or two of following the fasting days then days 3-7, 2 shake and 2 meal format should be no problem.
And if you're finishing up today, I'd like you to just take a moment to reflect.
Think about these things:
What have you given up that you didn't think you'd be able to?
Did you cut back or eliminate caffeine?
Can you keep the daily caffeine out or reduced?
Are you able to continue with vegetarian based lunches?
If you could add berries, some almond milk and other healthy additions to your Daily Detox Shake could you keep it going every morning?
What else has changed?
How can you keep this momentum going?
As I said before, my aim is to help you reach your goal, but I also want to introduce you to a new healthy lifestyle.
You Really Are What You Eat
I also wanted you to break some of your ties to food and for you to realise that you're stronger than you think...
And, I want you to take what you've accomplished and keep going strong.
If you’re not continuing for another 7 or 14 days, my highest recommendation is to continue with the All-in-One Daily Detox Shake every morning (you can now add ingredients to make a yummy smoothie - recommendations here), and carry on as much as you can using days 3-7, in your day-to-day life.
Have a cheat meal on the weekend and go out and enjoy life with friends...
But during the week try to earn that night out.
Today's Take-Away
Whether this is your 10th detox or your first, what you will have accomplished over these past 7-days is remarkable...
Very few people even have the mindset to at least attempt a lifestyle change, 2-day shake fast, and full-body detox like you’ve just accomplished.
You are now part of a small exclusive community that has stood up and decided that their body is something that is theirs to take care of.
Whether you realise it or not, you’ve taken ownership of you.
You powered through 2 days of only drinking shakes when others were eating, and you passed on unhealthy, inflammatory foods that surrounded you on a daily basis.
You Are In Control of Your Health, Body & Life
Please let that set in...
This detox provides every nutrient your body needs to strengthen full-body detoxification and repair, but it was you that set the wheels in motion. You didn't have to... I'm sure it would have been much easier to have a few drinks or grab some quick unhealthy processed foods on the run. But you didn't - you made a promise to yourself and you stuck to it!
You Did It!
What that means is going forward you can do it again and again...
And, if you string enough of those days together, you're living a realistic, healthy lifestyle. That's all there is to it. It doesn't have to be complicated.
Simply try to stay as close as you can to the Days 3-7 meal plan with some additions to lunch and dinner (additional healthy protein, fat, and carbohydrate options) and you can add some berries and/or a banana to your morning shake (recommendations here).
Then 1-2 nights/meals per week you can indulge in some foods you would rather not live without.
(I follow this same method myself.)
It can be that simple...
And you can do that - you just proved it these past 7 days!
And, if you’re continuing with another 7 or 14 days, you’ve got this!
