1) Prepare your cabinet and refrigerator. Clear out items that will not be needed any longer such as highly processed foods and saturated fats (i.e. most Mayo's). Remember, you may live with someone who is not taking part in your diet modifications - allow them to retain 'real estate' in the cupboards or fridge.
2) Begin stocking up on the natural foods required to sustain you including a large assortment of fresh fruits and vegetables, natural juices (V8 juice is a good choice), and sprouted bread and wraps (i.e. Ezekiel brand). One key will be to not let yourself get hungry. You need plenty of 'real food' on hand to make sure your hunger is satisfied.
3) Begin taking time out now for silent meditation. Or, you may use music (such as 'the Ambiology Music Series') to clear the mind. You may need to begin with just five minutes but should work up to thirty minutes each day. Daily meditation has been shown to increase gray matter in the brain and is instrumental in developing and strengthening resolve. Learn more about Meditation's effectiveness at this previous Blog.
There are many detoxification programs advocating complete abstinence from all simple sugars, coffee, teas, and much more. Some say colonic cleansing with juices are the way to go. In this program, we will not completely give up coffee or tea (green tea is excellent for your health) but will find our desire (or need) for coffee is greatly diminished. I believe in sustainable change. Even small steps taken to make changes will yield huge benefits. Also, it might be wise to begin coming off of certain foods now. For example, if you eat a great deal of meat, try limiting meat consumption over the next few days to make it easier when starting.
Tomorrow, we will focus specifically on preparing the cabinet and refrigerator.
