You will focus on spring foods and the super glow foods (will get to), adding them into your diet as frequently as possible.

Tune in, Tune Up

Tap into the power of food

Tune In

signs, symptoms, cravings
Will stress this concept throughout the program. But the emphasis is this first week.
Tune in to your body, because if you are not aware of the problem you cannot find the answer.

If you don't know what is causing the cravings, you cannot overcome them.

If you don't know what your body is saying, you cannot tell it differently.

Take time to listen.

Cutting out

sugar, caffeine, artificial sweeteners, processed foods

crowding out

with delicious food!
Will stress this concept throughout the program.

Right now, don't focus on getting everything exactly right.

Focus on adding in the good!

Snack options

We will go over snack options and you will get a list. For now, think fruit, veggies, hummus, whole grain crackers, nuts, seeds, etc.

Breakfast

How can you elevate it?
In the future, I will share with you some of my favorite breakfasts. Until then, think one word: ELEVATE using the spring foods and superglow foods

Oatmeal: add blueberries & strawberries, ground flax, coconut oil

Smoothie - use greens and berries

Eggs - add spinach and kale

Even pancakes - add in a mashed banana and chia seeds, top with berries & ground flax

Don't forget to hydrate

what you pull out and break down needs to go somewhere
Water, herbal teas, make water fun! I will send more information that in the future. You can also look ahead in your workbook for information, although I recommend going day by day for the activities.

Salads,
Sandwiches

Kale: sprinkle with lemon juice, then massage the kale gently to break down the fibers

Wild Blueberries: Buy frozen at WF, TJ, Costco. Defrost some overnight to add to oatmeal, cereal, or just to snack. Make a quick sorbet with frozen blueberries and banana. Add to smoothies.
