I stopped drinking ALL pop-soda before Labor day…it was hard at first since I was drinking two bottles of Pepsi a day at work=6-8 bottles a week …so knowing I have done that helps me know I do have some WillPower! so I say its itime for another challenge…No added suger….not on cereal or in coffe is easy to NOT do but what other things should I look for that might trick-me up?__Is chocolate allowed?_
Laurie, Only 100% pure chocolate…which doesn’t taste so good.
I've been on a sugar-free diet for medical reasons for 2 months now (4 more to go!). It's so hard! Sugar is in EVERYTHING! It's possible, but extremely limited. Very few cereals have 0g sugar and those without it usually have a sugar substitute; I finally found one in the organic aisle. Good luck!
My friend and I are about to do your Three Day Cleanse and i have a question about the ginger. It says to zest/finely grate the ginger in water. do you do the entire 1/2 inch piece of ginger per glass? Do you have any other tips or suggestions for us about to begin Cleanse? Thanks So much!
Leslie, Yes, the entire 1/2″ per glass. I’ll be starting with you….today for me! You can juice or make smoothies for the drinks. I prefer smoothies because it keeps 100% of the nutrients. To avoid it getting too thick, add extra liquid…water is great!
I would love the recipe and directions for the 3 day cleanse. Where can I find it?

I would like to start this cleanse but I would like to know how to drink this cleanse, like if that is all we are drinking or how often we have to drink it, what do we eat the rest of day or if we are even eating anything the rest of day.
Brenda, I’m not sure what your question is. Do you mean, you prefer a liquid cleanse?
Im starting this tomorrow. I am making my soup now.
I'm starting tomorrow. This will be my first detox! I have a quick question, why lukewarm water?
Megan, Lukewarm or room temperature is better for your digestive system than cold. Keep us posted!
i saw at the store in the organic section, fresh ginger root powder… would that be the same thing? (i bought the actual ginger root) but i was just wondering
also on the shopping list I saw that there are spruts, well stores arnt carrying them anymore due to health hazards (i was told by the produce section employees) are there any substatutions?
Brittany, I always recommend fresh ginger over the powder (processed). You can buy canned sprouts but instead, Bok choi, napa cabbage or green cabbage, thinly sliced can also stand in for the crunch of bean sprouts. Substitutes for Bean Sprouts… Bok choi, napa cabbage or green cabbage, thinly sliced can also stand in for the crunch of bean sprouts.
Is this drink something you do everyday? If not how often should you drink it
Sonjja, Sure, you certainly can. I drink this every morning, first thing.
