ACT: Day 1

Good morning rainbow unicorns!

Ta da! It’s Day 1 of the Adventure Cleanse Tune-up. You’ve chosen your level (review post on levels), upgraded your cabinets and fridge, prepped yourself mentally and now it’s off to the races…well sorta, this week is transition week. After all, you’re still a new colt trying to balance.

Continue to slowly remove the coffee if you haven’t done it completely yet. Cut back to one cup per day and then mid-week try half caf/half decaf. The same holds true for alcohol. Cut back to no more than twice per week and choose organic red wine.

Reduce your meat consumption to no more than twice per week.

GET OFF THE DAIRY AND THE GLUTEN. Tomorrow there will be a great gluten post on the blog – read it! The processed sugar and refined carbs – they’re gone today too. See ya, wouldn’t want to be ya! We no longer want to look and feel like dumpy donuts. Got it?

Your big task is to balance between pushing yourself out of your comfort zone and being gentle this week. There’s no need to be in it to “win” it. Be in it to do better, feel better, to stretch your self-imposed limitations – that’s more than enough. You’ll know how much you can do.

You may feel some detox symptoms and that’s OK. Your body will be jumping at the opportunity to remove stored toxins. Unless you’re really concerned, don’t back away from the discomfort, move into it.

We posted some recipes in the ACT section of the Life Lounge and will continue to add more. Please check out the Kind Recipe section of the Life Lounge too and the recipes on my blog. Also on my blog under the Wisdom section you’ll find lists of amazing cookbooks – both raw and cooked. Experiment. I will definitely give you suggestions but since there are 4 different levels I will not be telling you what to eat everyday. Instead I’ll give you thorough guidelines that empower YOU to do the work. If I spoon feed everything to you then what will happen when it’s over – when my hand no longer holds yours?

Prayer: Please help me to open my mind and allow childlike curiosity to flood in. The voices that hold me back no longer serve me. Help me to turn their volume down.

Affirmation: I am capable, confident, intelligent, resilient and in charge. Health and happiness are my birth rights and I accept them with grace. Ease flows through my life.

Morning: Drink a large glass of purified water with lemon (add a wee dash of cayenne to awaken your circulation), followed by herbal tea or 1-2 cups of green tea, white tea or yerba mate. When you are hungry drink a 16-24 oz green drink. If you’re hungry for more, wait 20-30 minutes then try some gluten-free toast with almond butter or raw cereal or gluten-free cooked cereals, nut milk, chia pudding etc. If you consume fruit eat, it alone. Your tummy will thank you. Food combining definitely applies with fruit. A good digestive enzyme will help when not combining well.

God Pod Maintenance: Exercise is a HUGE part of this adventure. 35 minutes per day at least 5 days per week. Sooo, get your sneaks on and take a walk, jog, rebound, stretch, throw in a yoga DVD, dance, hula. MOOOOVE!

Dry brushing: Your skin is your largest organ of elimination. Dry brushing moves the lymph and removes dead skins cells in order to open the pathways. Start at your toes using upward strokes and work up to your nose! Go really gentle on your face and boobies – or avoid them all together. Circular motions on your butt and thighs really help to break up the yucky cottage cheese. If you can do saunas or best would be infrared saunas during this time – ohh, la la – speed the success!

Lunch: Depending on your ratio, load your plate with salad, raw delights (nuts, seeds, oil cured olives, avocado, raw pasta, pate, nori rolls etc), and appropriate cooked fare (beans, gluten-free grains, steamed veg, baked sweet potato…). SEE SHOPPING LIST.

Snack: A large and lovely green juice and/or some low-glycemic fruit (cancer patients with aggressive disease may want to choose veggies instead), nuts, seeds, brown rice cakes with hummus or guacamole, or almond butter. Get creative! And remember, good fats are great, just don’t go wild with them.

Dinner: Same as lunch for most. Level 3′s – this is your opportunity to include some cooked fare. Level 4′s keep it raw!

Dessert: Huh? Well, if ya need it and you DON’T have a huge sugar issue, candida, a sweet tooth that rules you, a little dark chocolate, a cacao pudding or a square of carob from time to time on the cleanse won’t kill ya. I make my own chocolate with stevia or yacon so that it’s safe for me. Please note that dessert will slow down the cleanse process. It really depends on where you are and what YOU want. But if you’re gonna snap, then snap off a piece of yummy and STAY ON TRACK!

Are you a laser bean or a sun beam? Laser beams are on the fast track, sun beams shine slow and wide.

HAPPY DAY 1!!!

I LOVE YOU!!!

Peace and level 3 (for me),
Kris

PS. If you’re doing colonics over the next 28 days, schedule your first one for next Monday – the day after our group fast. As I’ve said before, if you can’t fast then keep it light and bright. Enemas are great too and if that’s not possible then use a gentle herbal laxative ONLY for the cleanse or when in need.

PSS. MOST OF THE CONTENT FOR THE CLEANSE WILL BE ON THE FORUM.
