Pre-Prep

Ok, So I've decided to do the 21-day Standard Process Purification Program. I read the information in the Patient Guide and decided to start practicing some of the guidelines. I gave up coffee - ouch! I cut back on alcohol. I started buying and cooking some of the foods on the program - namely lentils, brown rice, butternut squash and sweet potatoes/yam. I also made up some of the salad dressing in the patient guide. I did not give up bread or oatmeal - I eat these regularly and I will have to give these up when I start the program. I'm not a big meat eater, so I haven't really given that up since I don't normally eat much meat anyway. I did not adhere to the 1/2 cup of Lentils or Rice during this practicing phase.

Believe it or not - I've already lost 5 lbs! No kidding....but I'm coming up to a weekend event and I know I'll be eating and drinking non-healthy foods...will probably be back up those 5lbs I just lost. Oh well....I still feel like I'm better mentally prepared to do this.

Because of the "practicing" I've already done, I have a plan in mind:

Breakfast: SP Complete Shake with 1/2 frozen banana and berries
I'll use water or maybe fresh squeezed orange juice and Flax seed oil

Snack: don't know yet

Lunch: 1/2 sweet potato (or Yam), cooked butternut squash, raw zucchinni (or maybe celery) and bell pepper, 1 apple, 1 orange

Snack: don't know yet

Dinner: 1/2 cup Lentils or rice, Salad with Spinach, bean sprouts, 1/4 avocado, zucchinni, celery mushrooms, salad dressing recipe from patien guide (I might add a kiwi and blend)
SP Complete shake with 1/2 banana and berries.

I'll fine tune all this when I'm in the all the way!
