Pre-Cleanse Preparation

I've received the documents needed to complete this cleanse. I can't share all of the details with you online, but I can share with you how I'm getting ready to start the 10-Day Cleanse on Tuesday. I will be hitting the local farmer's market tomorrow to get lots of fresh, local produce. This isn't a necessary step, but it will help me get motivated to get started!


Stocking the House with Good Food
Day 1 will be a liquid diet, so that's one day I don't really have to plan for. 
The other days will include the following items at our house:

  • Chicken, egg whites, turkey, fish (Costco/Local)
  • Fruits, veggies, and parsley (Farmer's market)
  • Rice, Oats, Buckwheat, & Quinoa (Costco has a great blend of these items) 
  • Cottage Cheese & Plain Yogurts (Hy Vee)
  • Pumpkin Seeds & Sunflower Seeds (Hy-Vee Health Market)
  • Stevia sweetener and Agave Nectar (already own)
  • Herbal & Green Teas (buying more just for fun)
  • Pomegranate Juice (Hy Vee Health Market)
This looks like a short list, but I am excited about the combinations that are possible. I will be starting a Pinterest board for the cleanse too. We don't typically have many grains or dairy here, but will try to use some of the items during the cleanse for variety. Dr. Wes will probably eat more of the grains than me since I am hoping to lose weight during the cleanse, and he is just cleansing and losing body fat. 

Buy a New Blender Ball
This again goes to improve my motivation and make it more exciting. A Blender Ball is a necessity, but a new one is not.  I also got out our blender as it will be living on the counter for the next 10 days. 

Hydration Items
I have a really cool water bottle that infuses fruits/veggies into the bottle without the pulp. I bought it Brookstone awhile ago and really like it. I will also be using a glass Life Factory water bottle and other various water bottles in the house. I think I will get a few ready to go each day with either lemon or lime or cucumber or combinations. 




If you are interested in doing a Metagencis cleanse through our office, talk to Dr. Wes or Dr. Jason at your next appointment and they will get you going!
