Welcome to Day 4 of the 14 Day Detox!
You are doing great! You will begin to feel an incremental increase in energy over the next couple of days as your body begins to function more optimally. The food elimination may be a bit challenging; however, it is necessary to allow your digestive system to be free of inflammatory foods that impair optimal health. Stay strong and continue on!
TIP: Don’t know what to nosh on when you are feeling peckish? Consider eating side dishes, like steam kale with tahini dressing, roasted broccoli with salt and garlic powder through the day as my snacks. And drinking Yogi Tea through the day helps keep my metabolism going, and lightens the caffeine withdrawal.
