45 Day Total Body Detox 2024
By Stephanie Ray, ND, BCN
Your journey on the 45-Day Total Body Detox has come to an end. Congratulations! You may be wondering, “What do I do now?” The simple answer is that you can incorporate the strategies you’ve learned into a lifestyle that will help you maintain the progress that you’ve achieved.
Food Suggestions After the 45-Day Total Body Detox
Stay on cooked foods for the first 5 days. Add grains and legumes into your diet a little per day for the first 5 days, increasing to two servings a day on day 6 and maintaining until day 14. Going forward, add grains, legumes, and raw foods in accordance with your blood type. If you notice gas or slowing of bowels use Good To Go®, make sure you are chewing well, and increase warming foods according to your blood type. Remember, raw foods need to be chewed thoroughly as they are very “cold” to the digestion and slow it down.
Continuing Supplementation After the 45-Day Total Body Detox
The supplements in the 45-Day Total Body Detox were selected to help the body eliminate acidity and restore the alkaline reserve while balancing hormonal, adrenal, and endocrine function. You may wish to continue these supplements for daily maintenance.
Suggested Maintenance Intake: (These may be adjusted, as needed or desired)
