It’s day 3 of the cleanse and I wanted to give a report, along with a couple of my fav recipes! So far, I feel good. Yesterday had quite a strong craving for sugar, but knocked it out by using stevia in my cranberry juice mix before & after dinner. Have seen a small skin rash/blemish near my ankle, which is actually a good sign. Often as 
toxins begin releasing, we see skin outbreaks, rashes, etc. Don’t be alarmed. It should clear up in a couple of days as the cleanse takes these toxins out of the body.
With food, I want to make sure everyone is EATING ENOUGH! This is not a starvation cleanse, and you can eat plenty of foods, as long as it’s the right foods. Try to include even more fresh vegetables each day – even at breakfast! I will often incorporate at least one veggie in my breakfast – like spinach or tomato or celery. It can be done! If you are going to cheat (a tad bit) it’s best to do it during week two or three. A good, clean cheat is Dr. Praeger’s spinach or brocolli pancakes (they have a bit of potato in them) or veggie burgers. They are yummy!
RECIPES:
HUMMUS
Someone asked about chickpeas, and yes, they are allowed. I love to make fresh hummus and it is delicious!
Fresh or canned garbanzo beans
Blend with mixer.
Slowly add olive oil until creamy (not runny)
Add garlic powder and fresh lemon juice to taste.
Scoop with veggies, ricecakes or add to a salad!
BROWN RICE BOWL
This is a standby for me. It is so easy and simply yummy and satisfying.
Cook 1/2 cup brown rice
Cook 1/4 – 1/2 lb ground turkey, chicken or lamb
Optional: lightly cooked garlic pieces
While warm, put brown rice in bowl, top with fresh baby spinach leaves, veggies of choice (cucumber, carrots, tomato, onion, kale (steamed), radish, etc)
Put ground meat on top of veggies
Top with sesame seeds &/or a sprinkling of raisins (a slight cheat)
Drizzle with olive oil and fresh lemon juice.
(When not on cleanse, you can add feta cheese for a dish that is out of this world!)

I work as an actor and will be on set sometimes. Can you please tell me what are we doing for the next two weeks in terms of food or drink? I would like to prepare for work days ahead. ( especially if I can only get cranberry juice at a certain store for $7.00 vs. $10.00) thanks. And since my days may be on/off set, how flexible is the sequence?
Hi Rosemary! I understand the work days on the set for actors! The good news is, week two and three are less intense with the drinks. You will still be doing the water, lemon water and cran/flax drinks in the morning. The only other time you will do the cranberry drink is at night with flax/psyllium. All other times, replace the cran water with room temp water. Other modifications for week 2 and 3 is including a detox type tea (options listed, ie dandelion, milk thistle, red clover type blend found at stores) and increasing the flax and acai. The flax will increase from 1 tbsp morn & night to 1 and 1/2 tbsp morn & night, the acai to either 1 1/2 scoops or 2 scoops. Move as gently as needed, but increase to your capacity. If you make your acai drink with you to take, and take a detox tea bag, you should be ok. The food stays the same as far as elimination, but as I mentioned in last post, if there is a little “cheat” – week 2-3 would be the time. Let me know if you have any more questions!
Thanks for the update…I was mainly referring to the sequence of consuming liquids. I did not have my cran/water so I just had water. or meal times were off so could not fit in another cran +… or since it is chilly, I warn my lemon water.. or I drank Teccino with my morning oatmeal or more than 15mins pass before breakfast. or I have only taken acai twice. I guess I need to know the purpose of the sequence. I do get the need for liquids to flush out toxins. (addendum: my bowels are moving slow and just in the am)
