We have finally reached the finish line! The cleanse is complete and not only did we do it, but we LOVED it! We have never felt so good our lives! We have learned so much from this experience and it has truly changed our mindset as well as our everyday choices. I could go on and on about how much we love it but if you have been reading our blog recently you already know that.

Now it’s time to let the photos and numbers speak for themselves.

We are now on Day 17 of our cleanse and loving every minute of it!  Throughout the past 17 days we have been asked lots of great questions and would like to share the answers with you!

“WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF A DETOX OR CLEANSE PROGRAM?”

A purification program (also know as detox or cleanse) can help you remove natural toxins from your body and help maintain a healthy body weight. Although our bodies are designed to rid themselves naturally of these toxins, it can become overburdened and result in sickness, diseases, cancer, and less severe symptoms such as stuffy head, fatigue, difficulty sleeping, digestion issues, food cravings, weight gain, reduced mental clarity and low libido.

“WILL I LOSE WEIGHT ON THE PROGRAM?”

This depends on how close you are to a healthy body weight. If weight loss is appropriate for your body, most people can expect to lose an average of 10 pounds.  The ideal weight management system is not a quick fix,-instead it is a long term commitment and this program will help you learn to make healthy choices become a habit and a way of life.

Day 9:

While weight loss is not the primary purpose of this program, we have been excited to shred some inches and lose more than a few pounds as a result of the purification program. Dr. Viehbeck has lost over ten pounds and Kelly is right behind him with a loss of 6 pounds and eight inches! Before and after photos will be posted at the end of the program. More importantly, we just FEEL better! We wake up easier, we have far more energy throughout the day, we sleep better, aches and pains have subsided, and we feel rejuvenated. We can think more clearly, multitask better and enjoy life more! I can’t believe how fast the first nine days have flown by.

Today we are sharing the recipe for Dr. Viehbeck’s favorite salad dressing!  The fresh garlic in this dressing is so good that you might never want to buy a bottled dressing again!

Vinaigrette Dressing

Ingredients…

2/3 cup olive oil

1 tablespoon Dijon Mustard

1/4 cup balsamic vinegar

1-2 cloves garlic, minced

1/4 cup water

Herbs to taste – we like to use Oregano

Preparation: Measure ingredients into a jar with a tight fitting lid.  Shake vigorously or use a whisk.  Tastes best after sitting in the fridge overnight and should be consumed within 2-3 days of making it.

Today is Day seven of our 21 day purification program. We are one-third of the way though and we are feeling better than before!

That aside, last night was a difficult night. The office was open until 7 p.m. and afterward we went to the sauna to help with the detoxification process. By the time we finally got home it was nearly 8:30 p.m. and we were starving! We should have made a shake mid afternoon, but didn’t and all I could think about was how much I wanted to eat dinner at Babe’s Fried Chicken in Frisco! This was my first craving for anything since we have started the process. I had forgotten what it felt like to actually crave food since I have felt so nourished on this program. As soon as we walked in the door we made a smoothie and warmed up some leftover vegetable soup on the stove. About half way though the smoothie my craving disappeared and I was extremely proud that I didn’t cave in! On any other “diet” I probably would have, but not with this…this is so much more than just a diet. It is truly a lifestyle. I have learned so much and I feel really good, which makes me not want to revert back to my old ways.

Let me just begin by saying how much we are LOVING this cleanse!  The only regret I have is that I didn’t start sooner.  I can not believe how good I am feeling and it’s only Day 5!  Before I jump too far ahead of myself, let’s go back to the beginning…

Last Thursday we held a Purification Program meeting at our office for those who were interested in learning more about the program!  What a hit…we had nearly 20 people in our waiting room that night!  Thanks to all of you who came and enjoyed the organic chicken tacos donated from Chipotle!

The next day we were excited to receive an order for some of the products people had been waiting for!
