4 week Whole Food Challenge Starts Monday!

The goal for this challenge is to get rid of the foods that way me down. I will be following these rules Monday through Friday for each of the next 4 weeks. No Dairy, No wheat, No sugar, No red meat, no alcohol. I'm free to eat and drink as I wish on Saturdays and Sundays.

Each of the weeks begins with Monday as being a Cleanse Day. On Monday, my only food will the juice that I will make in our juicer that morning. I'll be making enough juice to last all day long.

For Tuesday through Friday my

menu each day looks like this:

6-9am: Breakfast (Smoothie or Juice)

9-11am: snack 

Noon Lunch: Salad or soup

3-4: snack (smoothie or veggies)

5-6pm: Dinner (Salad, grain bowl, chicken or fish)

6-7pm: Dessert a couple of times during week

pm or later: Chamomile Herbal Tea
