In reply to Laura. Right, if the servings have more than one, yes enjoy one serving but if you are still quite hungry has a second serving if needed.

I might have missed this somewhere but most of the recipes you link to are 2-4 servings. When I do the detox I just eat 1 serving right? So if I make a smoothie that you say is 2 servings that should be the 2 smoothies I’m supposed to have that day, right (let’s say one for breakfast and one for lunch)? Same with the meals…most of them serve 4 so I should only eat 1/4? THANKS!

Brenda, I’m so thrilled to have found you, where have you been all my life? I’m so into healthy everything, and really tired of going to web sites thinking we are of like minds…BOOM! NOT…you’re the real deal, thank you for all you do, for those of us who walk the walk, but still need to milk(non-dairy of course) the brains of precious angels like you! I’ve been on a lifestyle program for over 13yrs & have lost 150 lbs, I went through all the BS “diet” plans, loss 60, gain 80 back…finally the light dawned! I’ve been a model & actress, had been anorexic, so NOT eating was/is a place I’ve visited many times. Part of my crazy diet mania was a fast that was 3 weeks, I lasted 2, it was only 3 protein smoothies a day, zero solid food, water/herb tea…I was working 6 nights a week & had a 3yr old & a teen! OMG what could I have been thinking of? Your detox/cleanse is so doable, and yes I Tivo Dr OZ everyday, no I don’t need to lose any more weight, but I totally believe in cleansing our bodies…it’s like what we do for our car, a little tune up. I went away from dairy milk only because Almond was less calories, then I ran out for a few days & my tummy was upset,(we had fat free in for hubs & kids) I was what’s different? DUH…Who knew? Not me, it also tastes so much better, I mean come on, blind taste test dairy tastes like nothing! Also adore coconut, soy…so much out there, I’m stunned by how many people don’t GET IT? This is 2014 my goodness, I have recipes emailed to me that are freakishly scary…like “Weekend Casserole” over the moon fat/carbs/SODIUM unbelievable…one had, I swear over 6,800mg of sodium per serving…just dial 911 before you take the 1st bite! Honey, I get my herbs/vities/organic stuff, from Swanson.com they have a great selection of almost everything. I usually buy my fish oil locally because I get a better deal…I’ve got nothing to do with them except I’ve been shopping there quit awhile now & they’re prices are good & fast S&H. I brought them up cause I just got a high protein & fiber hemp from them, I’m big on meal replacement smoothies just whenever I feel like it…this stuff is terrible! Holy cow, I tried everything to make it look & taste better…YUCK! What was I thinking of, miss know-it-all, blew it… looks & tastes like dirt (poop)! I actually love green juice and/or smoothies…this is so not that, HELP! When I stumbled upon your perfect web post I was/am in heaven, I’ve been here for like 2hrs, I have been up & down, but yup…you had me at your crustless coconut custard…Bless you and your family, Andrea

In reply to S&C. You just had that one smoothie and the lemon ginger and had that effect?? I find that very odd and I drink that smoothie all the time as do I drink lemon water.

Hi, Just thought it would be nice to warn people about the potentially intense aspect of this cleanse. Two of us started this morning with a lemon ginger drink and a strawberry/coconut/spinach smoothie. Since then we have both had the runs, nausea and generally felt awful! I get that a cleanse cleans you out, but this is not what I expected and not worth it to me. Note: we are both generally healthy but were just looking to eat a little less sugar and thought this cleanse would be interesting.

I just woke to start day three of this cleanse. It was easier than I thought but temptations were challenging. I even made the trip to McDonald’s and back with lunch for 2 co-workers yesterday!! The day is just starting but the scale has me down 3.5 lbs this morning!!!!!!!!! I feel great too. Now I just need to continue good habits and restart my workouts to keep this trend going!

Hi-
I have been a fan for a few months now and refer your site to anyone and everyone looking to make improvements in their lives, so thank you so much for sharing your knowledge and efforts! It has really helped me to get to a place I have been aiming for…I am just finishing up this detox/ cleanse and wanted to give some feed back. First, I loved the ease of the menu items. I have come to realize that eating right takes time and thought. You have to be prepared. So I made a shopping list and actually sent my hubby to the store! I love the morning tea. I have only recently started drinking tea and have acquired an affinity for the green tea with jasmine. The lemon adds a little zing that I enjoy just that much more! I made the soup first and then the quinoa salad with balsamic dressing. Both were better than I could have hoped for. I did not experience hunger pangs or cravings that first day and was super excited to hit the gym and still be going strong by the time I picked the kids up from school around 4 pm. I usually want a nap from 2-4 pm. I have been reading others’ posts and it seems I am an anomaly in that the first night I experienced a pretty significant bout of insomnia. I finally fell into a fitful rest around 4 am. Tried a different smoothie the second day and it too is something I will use over and over again. The lack of sleep didn’t seem to affect me all that much throughout the day and into the evening. I didn’t have as much trouble falling asleep but could have easily stayed up later. And today, here it is almost 11pm and I am still up…heading to bed shortly though. I feel great and wanted to thank you again! I am actually thinking about staying away from gluten and meat and most dairy for a bit longer. Blessing to you and your family for a fantastic 2013!

I am going to be starting this on Saturday. It will take me up until Christmas day! Than I can eat a nice meal. I do not want to ruin my current weight loss during the holidays and I am at a plateau. Hoping this kick starts my metabolism and I loose some weight (1-3 lbs?). Thank you for posting. I’ll post my results for others.

I really like all of the vegetables, I feel less bloated and really not interested in adding meat back right now. My digestion is much better.

After completing the 3 day cleanse I learned, as you did, that I am not interested in becoming a vegetarian because by day three I was thinking about what meat I was going to have the next day. 🙂 Other than that, it went very smoothly and I feel wonderful. Thanks to your site and some others, I feel I have been detoxing my body over the last couple of months which made this 3 day cleanse much easier. I didn’t have cravings because I haven’t been eating those things for awhile anyway. Thanks so much for sharing your experiences, your recipes, and your knowledge with all of us! I did the evening detox baths that were on Dr. Oz’s sight, and those were wonderful. The lavender made my skin so soft!

In reply to Chloe. Thanks so much for sharing chloe! Thanks for sharing your results and 4 pounds is amazing too! But I agree it wasn't even about weight loss more for detoxing. I'm so glad you liked the recipes!
