I will be changing my regular diet a bit for the 10 day cleanse. Here is the 1 page flyer that includes the program, products, and schedule = 10 Day Cleanse Phase.
Dietary suggestions that may enhance your results: I copied this right off the flyer IN BOLD so i could highlighted what I may do differently and what is reality, thanks to my wife.
Eat More: These 1st 5 suggestions are exactly how you should be eating anyhow. If you think your pizza, turkey sandwich, and breakfast cereal lifestyle can be fixed with this supplement program you are WRONG.
1 Veggies: salads during the day and steamed at night will scrub your system – i will have the salad bar at school and a bag of frozen veggies at night. No problem, i do this (most of the time) anyways.
2 Fruit: fibrous and low glycemic choices (apples, grapefruit, berries) – I am not going to discriminate between fruits. If I ever need to worry about the GI (glycemic index) of a specific fruit, I am at a bodybuilder body fat % (3-5%) or I have lost my mind. HELLO?!?! Attention regular people…you do not have to worry about GI index of your fruits (unless they come in a can).
3 Healthy Fats: avocado, nuts/seeds, olives/olive oil – 2 out 3 isn’t bad. I hate avocado.
4 Clean Proteins: feed muscle and reduce appetite (tuna and salmon will aid in cleansing; eggs/chicken/beef would be secondary options; stay away from processed lunch meats) – no problem here. I am a meathhead. So by definition I will have no trouble with clean protein. The only problem I have is making tuna and salmon my #1’s. I hate tuna and I can’t cook salmon. That is another reason I need my omega-3’s supplements in my diet.
5 Clean Complex Carbs: rice, hummus, oatmeal – I try to minimize my carbs in all forms as best I can. It is Former Fat Boy (that is me) rule #1. I will have a high fiber whole grain english muffin with organic peanut butter in the AM. I get most my carbs post workout from the salad bar during the week at school. The weekend is when I will have to watch it. Whole grain pancakes, 100 calorie sandwich thins, pizza, etc…creep back on the weekends. For this phase I am going to fight like hell to minimize those things. My wife will be my “real world” conscience.
Avoid or Minimize: Again, this is shit you should not be eating anyways! But lets breakdown my daily diet.
6 Fried foods, refined sugars, corn or white starches, or bread – 3 out of 4 is not bad. I do have the daily high fiber whole grain english muffin and / or 100 calorie sandwich thins, pizza on friday nights.
7 Wheat products: bread, crackers, etc. – Do teddy grahams count? They are my son’s favorite snack and my wife and I are convince those good people at Nabisco lace them with a narcotic.
8 Dairy: cheese, yogurt, milk, white sauces or dressing – This is where is starts to get dicey. I have a little 2% organic milk in my coffee or protein shake. A low fat greek yogurt at night. Cheese in egg omlets.
9 Alcohol: you’re on a cleanse…hold off for 10 days. They say that, but I have not gone 10 days without a drink since I was 21. I can do 1 beer instead of 3. 1 Knob Creek instead of 2. But i dont think i am going to give it up. sorry.
1 0 Coffee or soda: drink water or SPARK. Im not sure if I will miss my coffee. That will be a game time decision. Im sure I will have a couple diet pepsi or coke’s. I have never had SPARK so I have no idea what to expect. I was told by my sponsor and AdvoCare Sports Advisory Council member Dr. Tood Miller, that SPARK does give you the jitters like other “energy drinks”.
So there you have it. In summary, I will have to change some choices in my diet have to a strict compliance to the 10 day cleanse. Ultimately, I will not kill myself but I have not done a “cleanse” before and I want to do it to the best of my ability.
