Welcome to the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse! Congratulations on taking control of your health by caring for your body and feeding it what it needs to be slim, healthy, and vibrant! If you're like me, you really want to look and feel great! Battling excess weight can be one of the most frustrating, challenging, and emotionally draining experiences on earth. Many people struggle with a never-ending battle to lose weight and get healthy. Despite the numerous fad diets, exercise regimens, and magic pills for weight loss, Americans continue to grow larger and larger year after year. Diets abound, and the diet industry is huge. But the sad fact is that about 95 percent of people who lose weight on a diet gain it back in three to five years. You cannot lose weight permanently by strictly following any special diet, taking a weight-loss pill, or following an exercise regimen. You have to realize that losing weight involves a major lifestyle change. What do I mean by lifestyle change? First, you will have to forget about dieting! Typically, you "go on" a diet, which implies that at some point you "go off" it. A typical diet is something you do for a specified period of time. What usually happens when you "go off" the diet? You gain all the weight back. With this ten-day cleanse, we are going to retrain your taste buds to desire and crave healthier foods so you never have to think about dieting again. I believe the first step in losing weight is detoxification. Without detoxification, millions of people worldwide lose the fight to lose weight permanently. There are many factors that contribute to weight gain, and one factor that is most overlooked by traditional diets is toxic overload. Simply put, people often have difficulty losing weight because their bodies are full of poisons. The more toxins you take in or are exposed to every day, the more toxins you store in fat cells in the body. Toxins stored in fat cells are difficult to get rid of through dieting alone. You must first detoxify the body. Thus, the most effective weight-loss programs should focus on both fat loss and detoxification, which lead to overall improved health and wellness. I am a nutritionist, a certified weight-loss expert, author of the #1 bestseller Lose Weight Without Dieting or Working Out , and creator of the Detox-Eat-Move (DEM) System. For years, I've helped people lose weight without dieting so they can get their sexy back! The DEM System focuses on helping you detoxify, cleanse, and reset your taste buds so that you desire healthy, natural foods. Why I Created the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse Last year, after years of clean, healthy eating and detoxing, I was bedridden with mercury poisoning from my silver dental fillings! I had high levels of mercury in my brain, gut, liver, and kidneys. I couldn't get out of bed for two months. And when I did, just making the bed required that I lie back down to rest! My health, energy and motivation were at an all-time low. After a long and slow recovery last year, I decided I needed to do something to get my health and energy back, as well as lose the twenty pounds I had gained while bedridden. I created the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse after learning how raw greens can heal the body. Also, already an advocate of detoxing, I knew I needed to rid my body of excess waste and toxins that had accumulated as a result of the mercury poisoning. Once I created the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, I asked if I could get ten of my family members and friends to do it with me for support. I was pleasantly surprised to find that about 100 of them wanted to do it! We created a Facebook group to keep one another motivated. Because the results were so phenomenal, in less than two months we had about 10,000 people join the Facebook group and decide to do the cleanse with us. In just ten days, folks were losing ten to fifteen pounds, getting energized, reversing health conditions, and feeling better than they had in years. When I completed my first cleanse, I lost eleven pounds. My energy was high, my skin was radiant, and my digestion and bloating had improved. I felt renewed and motivated again! Before I began the cleanse, I had been taking twenty-four supplements a day to help my body recover from mercury poisoning. Since completing the cleanse, I have been taking only four supplements per day. I have such a positive outlook on my health and look forward to getting back to focusing on my life dreams and goals. The 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse is a detox program that will help you lose weight, increase energy, reduce cravings, and improve overall health. You will detoxify your body through elimination of certain foods for ten days and reprogram your taste buds to desire healthy, nutrient-rich foods. After you complete the cleanse, you will never have to count calories or follow complicated or expensive meal plans or measure food again. Your body will naturally crave and desire healthy, natural foods. During the 10-Day Green Smoothie Cleanse, you will give your body the quality nutrition it needs while cleansing your cells and insides. Vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients will be absorbed by your body more efficiently, allowing your cells to become like new as you begin to look and feel younger. What makes us feel old is sludge and waste in the body. Anti-aging creams and cosmetic surgery won't clean that out. Your skin will look more youthful because your cells will become tighter and healthier. Aging, dull, dry skin; puffiness; dark circles; and wrinkles will start to fade away. It is possible to look and feel better now than you did a decade ago. You will feel like you're growing younger, not older! In short, you'll learn how to become young, healthy, and energetic from the inside out. I guess you could say that I have fallen in love with green smoothies and want the world to know it! Every day, green smoothies change the lives of so many people, including my own family and friends. I've had thousands personally thank me for introducing them to green smoothies. Anyone who has tried green smoothies can't help but share the experience with others. I am committed to drinking green smoothies every day and getting as many people as I can to drink them as well. Will you join me in this journey to heal the body, lose weight and increase energy levels? By doing this, you will never have to worry about weight again. Are you ready to look slimmer, healthier, and sexier than you have in years? This is an amazing way to transform your health in just ten days.
