do any of you drink the olive oil/lemon juice when you get up? Sounds pretty tough to take.

bought the book today. I’m going to try the pre-diet week starting tomorrow. I hope this works because all the fruits, veggies, and health food store additives are going to be pricey.

What if instead of making your own broth, you bought organic vegetable broth? would this be ok to do? I have 4 kids and time is limited to prepare this…

Well, I am over 45 as well as my husband and we both had potbellies, we did this diet and he lost 10 lbs I lost 8 the first week and went down 4 more lbs weeks later. we were bad eaters and didn’t follow it to the letter (no excercise) but we still lost easy for those who find it hard to eat right. we fell off the wagon but we are getting back on this one. less than a year later i still only gained 5lbs of the actual 11. Everyone asked how did you lose the weight it stayed off for almost 9 months without the diet. Going back on tomorrow.

I had a hard time stomaching the UltraShake at first as well. I tasted really chalky and gritty. Although, I stuck with it and now I love them. The only fruit I use is organic blueberries and strawberries (frozen-cheaper). I have yet to take the full plunge into the diet, but instead I am taking it slow. I want to develop lifestyle habits not just go through the motions for a week. My main goal is to modify the diet for my 1 year old who has moderate eczema. I am hoping to find out what allergens can be triggering her reactions. Anyone else have any experience in this area?

Checked the book out of the library. I think I need to do this. Allergies, food sensitivity and chemical sensitivity are ruining my life. I need to detox.

I just started this diet today and had my first ultra shake and it was awful. I’m not picky when it comes to this kind of stuff, but my shake was just so bad I could barely drink it. Does anyone have an alternate recipe for this that has the same benefits?

I’ve been doing this detox a few times a year since 2008 and I love it!! I lose about 7 – 10 pounds in a week. It’s a great way to kick-start a diet or lose those few extra pounds for a special event. I modified the diet a little bit however because I didn’t have ultra shake or ultra broth.

For breakfast I have a glass of freshly squeezed juice (carrots, apple, organge, beet, celery juiced in a juicer), a glass of hot water with lemon and a cup of green tea. This will make you go to the bathroom right away! For lunch I had brown rice with steamed un-salted veggies and for dinner I had the same thing except added tofu. I had my berries for 2 nights and an occasional cup of organic vegetable broth.

The first couple of days are the hardest as you will experience headaches and fatigue because the shock your body goes through. But I promise it gets better. You’ll be amazed at how much flavour veggies have without adding extra salt, fattening dressings etc. By the end of the week I felt energetic, rejuvenated and skinny! I’m not going to lie–it’s very tough and by the end of the week you’ll want to throw your plate at the wall because you’ll get so sick of eating the same thing. But it is worth it. After the detox, continue eating healthy and you’ll keep off the weight you lost. It can be more than just a quick fix! Fantastic!
