It's mid February and much to my dismay I'm still sporting my holiday gut....so much for my New Year's weight loss resolution. My 2nd shot at weight loss begins February 17th, Ash Wednesday, with my annual 45 day Lent Diet & Cleanse.
Here are some of the benefits of the Lent Diet & Cleanse:
1. Weight loss
2. Significant energy increase
3. Absence of muscle and joint aches and pains
4. Improved brain function...moods, memory & focus
5. Improved vision & hearing
Hands down this is one of the easiest and healthiest diet & cleanses one can do. It DOESN'T involve being hungry or starving yourself, counting calories, restricting food portions, taking supplements or herbal formulas. It works by cutting out refined sugars, processed foods and by eliminating and/or severely limiting your complex carb (grain) intake, then eating a natural diet (similar to what our great grandparents would have eaten) of primarily live (not heated above 105 degrees) and probiotic (cultured) foods.
This Wed. I will be giving a class on the 45 Day Lent Diet & Cleanse at my office. Come listen, learn, and possibly join some of us... misery loves company...just kidding, on this 45 day journey to optimal health. This diet & cleanse is a cake walk compared to most. Eating delicious, natural,live foods that satisfy the palate, nourish (build) the body, while at the same time detoxifying(cleansing) the body.
If you can't attend this class don't sweat it... I've got you covered. I'll be teaching classes every Wednesday night for the next 7 weeks. Listed below are the various Live Food Nutrition topics I will cover and my diet for the next 45 days.
