Standard Process 21 Day Cleanse – Day 13

SSDD – Same Stuff Different Day. I am really happy that I am on this journey – I feel amazing.  I did a little bit of a cheat today, I had steamed artichokes and brussel sprouts – it seems so pathetic to think that my CHEAT on this cleans has been to eat cooked veggies.  I am pathetic.

Welcome to Day 13 of the Purification Program.

You are 9 days away from meeting your goal.  From here on out, unless you are feeling bad (in which case you need to discuss your situation with your health care provider), we want to begin preparing you for completion of the purification program.

Some people just cross the finish line, are happy they have completed the program and go back to their normal lifestyle.  If this is what you are aiming for, no problem.  However, most want to capitalize on this as the first step in a new direction.  They want to maintain the results and begin their journey towards maximizing their genetic potential.

So, how do you maintain the results you have achieved thus far?  Do you want to continue losing weight?  Do you want to come off hypertension medications, antacids or anti-depressants?  Well, we are going to provide guidance to help you over the coming week.

First, and most important, you need to schedule testing with the doctor who has put you on the medications you are wanting to work towards getting off of.  At the conclusion of this program you will be in the optimal position to be tested.  Make sure you have your appointments set before you come off the purification program (ideally on the last day or two of the program.)

How Should I Feel Today?

Not to sound like a broken record, but today should be more of the same.  You are one day closer to completing the program and, to be blunt, here’s how you should be feeling…

You should feel more in control, more at ease, more at peace with your own body, more charismatic, more sensual and overall just more alive!  In other words, you should be feeling GREAT!  The good news is that this great feeling should continue on through the rest of the 21 days and beyond the conclusion of the program, assuming of course that you incorporate some of the changes you have made into your everyday life.

Weight Loss

Are you using your newfound energy for working out?  I know we have mentioned this multiple times, but sweating is KEY to losing weight.  Drink lots of water and sweat, sweat, sweat.

Reminders

If you are experiencing constipation, remember to drink at least 64 ounces of water per day.  In addition, be sure to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits with high fiber content.  Eating a beet a day will also encourage regular bowel movements.  Talk with your health care professional for other recommendations.

Standard Process 21 Day Cleanse – Day 10

I screwed up so badly! Today is the 10th day and I get to eat meat on the 11th day.  I am a little pissed actually I had been living into the future where I was going to be eating fish.

Depressed but feeling fine.

Welcome to Day 10 of the Purification Program.

If you are planning on introducing lean protein such as chicken or fish into your purification program, you are only one day away.  At this point most people can’t wait!  So that you can plan your shopping, remember, you should choose organic, free-range, antibiotic-free and hormone-free protein sources if possible.  Things to be avoided are cured, smoked or luncheon meats.

How Should I Feel Today?

The main thing you are probably feeling today is a craving for meat.  Other than that, you should be feeling strong and energetic.  This is an important day, as you should be feeling good before you begin to reintroduce meat into your diet.  If you do not feel like your energy has returned, speak with your health care professional before reintroducing meat tomorrow.

Weight Loss

As you progress through this program, you may desire to add additional weight loss support products.  You can do this during the purification program or afterwards.  These products are available from Julie.  Finally, today we are discussing the third body type.

If your weight is primarily in your hips and butt, this is a problem with ovaries in women and testicles in men and is an indication of estrogen dominance.

Women, discuss the following protocol with Julie.

Chaste Tree 2 tablets in the morning (only do this if you still have your ovaries)
Ovex P 2 tablets twice per day
Flax Seed Oil 1 tablespoon per day
Reminder: Eat lots of cruciferous vegetables!

Men, discuss the following protocol with Julie.  Please also note that in addition to the weight in your hips and butt, you will most likely also exhibit weight in your belly.

Cruciferous Complete 4 capsules per day
LivaPlex 4 capsules per day
Symplex M 4 tablets per day
Whole Food Fiber 2 level tablespoons per day
Tribulus 1 tablet per 50 pounds of body weight (i.e. 4 tablets for a 200lb man)
Linum B6 4 perles per day (if you prefer to add it to your shake, use Flax Seed Oil)
Flax Seed Oil 1 tablespoon per day (if you prefer pills, use Linum B6)

Reminders

If you are going to be introducing lean protein during this purification, remember that you do this tomorrow (on day 11), not today (a common misunderstanding).

Recipe of the Day

Bachelor Portobello Mushroom

Ingredients:

Portobello Mushroom
Garlic/Olive Oil Crushed
Butter, organic
Marinara Sauce (you can use the recipe from Day 2)
Tip: If you want to buy sauce instead of making it, look for a brand that has no sugar, high fructose corn syrup, “Natural Flavors”, etc…  (It must be just tomatoes, garlic, onions, salt, water, etc…)  Copollo Brand is an example of a ‘clean’ sauce.

Directions:

1. Medium Heat- Portobello Mushroom in pan for 5 minutes per side.
2. Add Marinara Sauce over Mushroom in pan and put over low heat for a couple of minutes.

One more day until the reintroduction of meat!

Standard Process 21 Day Cleanse – Day 11

What can I say – I had meat for breakfast. I had steamed salmon and I had meat for lunch, steamed chicken and I felt great eating it.  In the mid afternoon I had a little bit of a stomach ache – the first time during the cleanse.  Maybe I should take it a little bit easier tomorrow I am going for my colon cleanse with Julie again.

Welcome to Day 11 of the Purification Program.

Congratulations!  You are on the downhill side of your 21 days.  As mentioned yesterday, if you are going to introduce lean protein into your program, today is the day!

Remember, the portions should be the size and depth of your palm.  You can have up to two portions per day, if desired.  Once you start eating meat again, you can reduce or eliminate the whey protein.  As always, consult with your practitioner before changing your protocol.  Also, remember to still eat plenty of vegetables (twice as many as fruits).

How Should I Feel Today?

You should be sleeping really well and for the most part feeling energetic.  Many of your previous symptoms should now be gone.  If you have any lingering symptoms that concern you, please contact Julie to discuss your concerns.

Weight Loss

Have you been exercising?  If not, remember that exercise is a key component of losing weight on the purification program.  Unless you are older and/or have not been exercising, then it is recommended that you get a minimum of 20 to 30 minutes of exercise every day, up to 6 days per week.

Reminders

If you are introducing fish into your diet, remember, it should be deep-sea fish such as salmon, cod or sea bass.  Also, you should avoid farm-raised fish.  For more information on wild vs. farm-raised fish, check out this article.

Standard Process 21 Day Cleanse – Day 8

Not much to add today – feeling about the same, but the food is getting BORING.  Two more days and I can add cooked animal protein.  I am going to be having fish for breakfast – steamed and I can’t get it out of my mind at all.

I want MEAT.

Day 8 – Lunch

Welcome to Day 8 of the Purification Program.

Congratulations!  You are done with the SP Cleanse capsules.  Well, technically you should have 3 capsules leftover (go ahead and take those this morning).  If you have more than that leftover, you probably just missed taking them at some point.  Not to worry.  Keep taking the SP Cleanse (7 capsules 3 times per day) until you have finished the bottle.  However, you should also introduce the SP Green Food starting today as indicated in the Supplement Regimen section below.

How Should I Feel Today?

After 1 week on the program, you should be feeling good.  You should not be hungry or feel like you don’t have any energy.  If you do, you are most likely not eating enough vegetables during the day.  Also remember that you can do up to 5 shakes a day.  A key point to remember is that as long as you are eating healthy vegetables, you can eat as much as you want, so you should not feel hungry.

Weight Loss

As you progress through this program, you may desire to add additional weight loss support products.  You can do this during the purification program or afterwards.  These products are available from Julie.  Today we start a series of tips on what products to take for your body shape.

If your weight is generalized and you are heavy all over (typical hypothyroidism), the thyroid is most likely your weak endocrine gland.  Discuss the following protocol with Julie.

Coleus Forte 1 tablet three times daily
Prolamine Iodine 3 tablets per day
Thyroid Complex 1 tablet three times daily

Reminders

If you have trouble taking all of the capsules each day you can try mixing them in with your shakes.  The first 7 days this makes for a bit of an intense shake (mainly due to the cayenne in the SP Cleanse), however now that you have completed those, you might consider this if taking the pills is difficult for you.

Recipe of the Day

Ginger Lemonade

This is a perfect pick-me-up beverage if you feel hungry or tired.

Ingredients:

2 inches fresh ginger root
3 lemons
2 quarts of water
Stevia to taste

Directions:

1. Wash and peel the ginger root.
2. Grate it finely over a bowl.
3. Squeeze the grated ginger mash with your fingers to extract the juice.  Discard the dry mash.
4. Bring water to a boil.
5. Remove from heat and add ginger and juice of 3 lemons.
6. Add Stevia and stir well.
7. Drink hot or chill for iced ginger lemonade by adding ice cubes and a fresh slice of lemon.

Don’t forget the new protocol today!

Standard Process 21 Day Cleanse – Day 4

Today was the best day that I have had so far, I am not feeling at all sluggish – but actually after my workout I am starting to get used to this.

One big note and suggestion is to cut all the veggies that you are going to use that day all in one session – it saves time and sets you up to have a snack if you need it.

I am feeling pretty great, at this point I think I have eaten more salad than I did in all of January.

Day 4 – Breakfast

Welcome to Day 4 of the Purification Program.

“Where the determination is, the way can be found.” – George S. Clason

How Should I Feel Today?

If you have been feeling rough the last couple of days we have great news for you.  Today should be the beginning of your ‘reward’ for embarking on this intense program of detoxification.  The average patient begins to feel more energetic and vigorous on day four.  If you have experienced headaches as your body has released toxins, these should lessen in intensity.  You should feel your energy beginning to return and surpass your ‘normal’ levels.  Many have stated that they begin to experience energy levels that they have not had for many years.  As a bonus, you should also find that you are beginning to sleep better at night.

One key point to remember is that everyone detoxifies differently.  Some experience headaches.  Some experience shoulder or back pain.  Some experience an upset stomach.  These experiences vary in intensity and duration, but most important to keep in mind is that it is all part of the process.  If you experience anything that concerns you, remember that your health care professional is available to discuss this with you.

Weight Loss

The more you sweat, the more you detoxify and lose weight.  Remember, this can be achieved through exercise, but can also be enhanced through the use of a sauna, steam room, etc.  Whatever you do, don’t try to fast, it can turn down your metabolism and in fact keep you from losing weight.

Reminders

Make sure you are having 1-3 bowel movements each day during the program.  If not, make sure that you are drinking enough water.  Remember, you should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day.

Recipe of the Day

Vegetable Angel Hair Zucchini “Pasta”

3 zucchini
16 oz cherry tomatoes (very flavorful) or 1 lb. regular tomatoes
1/2 small white onion
A few fresh basil leaves
1 or 2 cloves of garlic
1 red, orange or yellow bell pepper (not green)
2 tsp. dried Italian spices or oregano, basil, salt & pepper
A little Olive Oil (optional)

Directions:

1. Use a Spiral slicer to cut Zucchini into angel hair like strands.
2. Place all other items in a food processor or blender, and PULSE CHOP to obtain a “chunky” consistency.  We don’t recommend pureeing the mixture.
3. Pour sauce into a bowl and allow to “set” for 30 minutes to allow sauce to thicken.
4. Pour sauce over your Zucchini “pasta”.

Don’t forget to drink lots of water and sweat, sweat, sweat!
