Is this the only salad and salad dressing to be consumed during the 3 day cleanse?
For this particular cleanse, yes, Elissa.
Hi,
Just been looking at your 3 day plan.
Would it be ok to drink caffeine free soya latte? Thanks
Edina, Again, that’s up to you.
Is it ok not to add red onion?
Also are there any more salad recipes.
Thanks
Edina, Definitely add red onion. We have tons of salad recipes. https://skinnyms.com/?s=Salad
This 2-days cleanse is under 1000 calories for each day. 900 to be exact…is that healthy? Also what to do after we are done. How to transition to gain the weight back?
Stephanie, The goal is to cleanse your system of toxins that have buildup from eating processed foods. Two days should not result in any significant weight loss.
Can balsamic vinegar be used as dressing instead?
Judy, Definitely!
The salad says 2 servings can you eat the entire salad while you’re doing this detox ?
Our detox recommendations are based on one serving.
I am not a cook at all. I am confused by the recipes. They do not have units of measure on many of the ingredients. Example is: 0.13 diced celery stalk or 0.02 all spice. I asked my ex-husband who is a chef and taught culinary school and he didn’t understand it either.
Michelle, You will need to click on US Customary instead of Metrics. It’s located in red just under “Ingredients”. Hope this helps. 🙂
