Phase 1

Days 1-10 Meal Guide

The first 10-days are so important!

We will take everything in your life that causes your body stress, and put it on hold. 

 

Stress + Poor Diet + Over/Under Exercising = INFLAMMATION + UNHEALTHY GUT

1. START EACH MORNING WITH A GLASS OF WARM WATER WITH LEMON. YOU CAN ALSO ADD 1 TBSP APPLE CIDER VINEGAR AND 2 DASHES OF CAYENNE PEPPER.

2. TAKE 2 PROBIOTICS DAILY

How it Works

For 10-days, we’re going to heal your gut, and eliminate the main triggers that cause inflammation. 

Each Day:

Pick ONE meal option for breakfast, lunch, and dinner.

Pick ONE snack option for morning and afternoon snacks.

 

focus on what you CAN have, not what you can’t — this is not a diet, this is a chance to heal.
