Wear the band. Be TRUE to yourself.

BE STRONG

STRENGTH is the best way to describe the second week of TRUTH DIET
because you will be challenged. Most call it the toughest week, but I know you
will rise to the occasion. Wear your green band with pride—this is the week
that will separate you from ninety-nine percent of the people you know.

AFFIRMATION: I am strong. I am healthy. I can accomplish anything.

MOVING INTO THE DETOX
The goal is to boost mood, energy, productivity, clarify the mind, shed excess weight,
reset your metabolism and adrenals, support the digestive tract, reduce bloating, and
supercharge your hormones and your immune system.
We will rejuvenate, cleanse and support the liver, kidneys, lymphatic system, colon,
intestines, lungs, blood vessels and skin.

SUGGESTIONS
Get sleep! Try to get at least 7 hours every night.

Meditate/Center yourself: sit quietly, palms up and on knees, breathe slowly and deeply
from your diaphragm. Quiet your mind by concentrating on your breath. Do this once or
twice a day for 5-10 minutes every day. I’ve implemented meditation breaks into the
daily nutrition charts next to the ⌘ symbol to help remind you.

Avoid overeating and eating too fast, not chewing properly, and drinking during the meal
(affects HCI effectiveness/digestion in stomach). In simpler terms, when you drink a
beverage during a meal it’s like putting water on a fire. You inhibit your stomach acid
from fully doing its job, which can lead to bloating and upset stomach.

We will eliminate sugar and processed foods (including bars), dairy (except for kefir,

which is a probiotic), limit gluten foods, cut out soy, eggs and corn due to allergies, limit
nuts (except what is on the plan), and grains (aside from oats in the morning shake).

We will eliminate acid forming foods like coffee (by mid-week) and all animal products
(eggs included), flour, pasta, artificial sweeteners (not including stevia because it is
naturally alkaline), vinegar like balsamic (except for Bragg’s apple cider vinegar), and
dairy.

We will add fiber, flax seed, flax seed blends and/or chia seed, fresh lemon water,
organic cleansing and supporting teas, chicory (Teeccino as a prebiotic and for mild
laxative support), inulin (it’s in the Teeccino to help reduce fats and sugars in the body,
help digestive support and a host of other benefits), dandelion (for liver support), beans
(for added fiber, relax arteries and help reduce blood pressure naturally), Kefir (for
probiotic benefits), and bottled veggie juice or fresh pressed veggie juice (for cleansing
and phytonutrient support) and Lecithin granules to help break down fats and release
excess toxins.
