Fresh Start Diet
Duration: 2-3 weeks
This temporary eating program is designed to help take stress off of your digestive tract so as to provide an environment for proper healing and repairing of the digestive tract. Make up a lot of VEGETABLE BROTH—see recipe on bottom of page. Drink lots of this broth. It is full of minerals.
At the end of your “Fresh Start Program” please refer to the body of your report and implement those recommendations.
WHAT TO EXPECT FROM THE FRESH START PROGRAM
The first day you may feel slight discomfort by having changed your regular mode of eating, but do not allow this to disturb you, for it is natural. About the 3rd or 4th day the bowels and kidneys will begin to move freely. As a result of this cleansing process, you may experience symptoms of headache, perhaps nausea, gas, and a few aches and pains. Do not be alarmed. These symptoms are quite natural and to be expected. About the 5th day you should start to feel a surge of energy.
If you start this program—STICK TO IT! Don’t try it one day then quit. Follow the instructions and you will be surprised at how refreshed you feel at the end of the process.
BREAKFAST FOR EACH OF THE SEVEN DAYS
Fifteen minutes before you are ready to eat breakfast, squeeze the juice of a lemon in a medium glass of hot water and drink it.
