By eliminating processed food & chemicals from our eating; while increasing our intake of fruits & vegetables we will see these Benefits:

• Boosts Immune System • Energy • Hair & Skin health • Anti Aging • Benefits from increased antioxidants • Reduced Disease Risk • Sugar Addiction solved by Clean Eating • Cravings subside dramatically when staying consistent for 3 weeks. • Refined sugar is VERY addictive, the more we eat...the more we WILL eat! • You will not feel hungry all the time! (Eat when you are hungry!)

• Don’t Diet! Just Eat for Health! • Eat for the physical body & energy levels you want! • Clean Eating delivers BOTH promises • Clean Eating does not require dieting. • You actually add food instead of taking it away.

DRINK PURE, CLEAN WATER

(squeeze fresh lemon in the water)

Please • Ask in group for substitution ideas • Ask for advice & HELP within the group. • We are here for you! • Please commit to yourself to all 30 days & see how you feel! • You deserve this! • CFC recipes use everyday ingredients

A few TIPS to make life easier this week:

• You can prepare/chop your base salads and store them in the fridge and when you’re ready to eat them just add your protein and maybe some avocado and you’re good to go.

• If something needs to be used in the fridge use it, switch days of the meal plan or change the meals around so you can use everything in the fridge.

• DO NOT WASTE THE FOOD. • Make breakfast a habit and if you have very limited time in the morning,

prepare breakfast the night before. • Always have nuts, fruit, tin of salmon or tuna with you so you can have an

emergency food supply so you don’t ever skip meals. • Try and eat every 3 hours. This helps keep you full and maintain your energy

through the day. • Drink plenty of water • Go organic as much as possible-sometimes they are on SALE! • Grass fed meat is much better for us. (the cows are much happier and

healthy). • If you fall off your plan, get back on and don’t stress about it.
