A GIANT HIGH-FIVE to YOU!! Congrats on completing all SEVEN days with such will-power and determination! Now, for tomorrow… what will be different compared to BEFORE the Detox? Will you be eating more veggies and drinking more water? And how do you feel? Did you lose some unwanted weight and are you less bloated and is your mind clearer? I hope so, and I hope that you continue on the healthy path you’ve just begun! XOXO
Jen, I havent done this but was thinking of doing so. Last week was way too crazy in my house! Usually when I cook quinoa or brown rice, I use broth instead of water, or oil/margarine and salt. I assume this is a no-no. What seasoning is okay for the grains and what, if any, salad dressing can I use? (Just in case I want to sub recipes)
Hey Jules! Broth is totally fine — it’s the sugar and processed stuff you want to avoid during the detox. I’d recommend veggie bouillon and/or a touch of olive oil/salt. All herbs and spices are fine too. I tend to use a basil/oregano/thyme/rosemary mix or curry powder/garam masala. For salad dressing, I like olive oil/ rice vinegar/ salt, or TJ’s Light Champagne Vinaigrette or Goddess Dressing. Enjoy!
Can you give a proper weight loss plan
But I need to have one glass of milk because I lack calcium.

Lots of info there! – Jen
I’m on day 7 and I am amazed- I haven’t been hungry, craving anything, or feeling deprived the entire week! The recipes have been anything but boring and make me look forward to eating fruit and veggies. I’m definitely getting your book and I plan on keeping this going! Thank you!
So glad, Juliette! Thank you for having the guts to try the detox! XOXO Jen
