Day's 3, 4 & 5 | A Day In My Life on the 21-Day Purification Program


Days 3-4-5 | A Day In My Life on the 21-Day Purification Program.

It’s been going very smooth. I’m down 6 pounds in 5 days and I feel great, have good levels of energy, I’m sleeping like a baby throughout the night!! Digestion and elimination is very smooth, no aches or pains and I’m exploring some new recipes on this 10 day vegan stretch of the program which I’m really enjoying.

I took 4 large Portobello mushrooms and sprinkled them with garlic powder, onion powder, a few flakes of oregano and basil and then cooked them in a pan with extra virgin olive oil and minced fresh garlic. Then after them becoming soft, I poured an organic crushed tomato-artichoke-capers-garlic sauce over it, let it simmer another 5 minutes and then enjoyed that along with some steamed broccoli. The Portobello was great because being able to take a fork and knife to something of substance and chew as if it were a meat type protein gave be a very satisfying sensation. It was very flavorful. Ironically, I got the jar or sauce at our local Costco. I was quite happy to see an organic sauce like this without any sugar or funny ingredients.

Last night we went over a friends house who is a veteran of my purification program and a few others. She cooked lentils, roasted broccoli, cauliflower and Brussels sprouts with capers and rosemary with a little olive oil drizzle and it was really nice. A little mixed field greens salad to start and it was nice to go out and eat with some friends that understand ultra-clean eating.

Still on track with the shakes/smoothies, fiber and cleanse supplements. I’ve just added the Standard Process’ Tuna Omega oil which I taking 2 caps with meals (3 times per day).

I continue to start my days with the same fruit smoothie although yesterday was my Thursday morning BNI meeting. There’s always a gigantic bowl of mixed fruit so I was able to easily stick to my plan for breakfast and still have a successful business meeting with 65 others.  Although the room had the wonderful aroma of coffee, I was able to easily get by with 2 cups of hot green tea.

Later in the afternoon I started back on my triathlon training program with a 5k run. I did better than I thought I’d do but obviously not as well as I would like.  Before I fell off my training I was up to running 10k. So it’s back to square one for my training. Tonight I will get on the indoor cycling trainer and then tomorrow morning an ocean swim.

What I love most about getting back to the clean eating of the purification program is the way it helps me dissipate stress and how much it improves my sleep and digestion.

That’s it for today. 6 days until Meat!!!

Standard Process 21-Day Purification Program - Day 2 | A Day In My Life


Day-2 | A Day In My Life On The Standard Process 21-Day Purification Program

So day 2 finishes up without a hitch. Woke up in the morning without the detox headaches and feeling like I actually got some restful sleep. 

Started the morning with a large glass of water and then choked down the 7-SP Cleanse capsules and went about my morning business.  After getting ready to head to the office, I made my morning smoothie, the only addition this time was a handful of froze pineapple. So this morning it was a combination of:

Blueberries, blackberries, raspberries, strawberries and pineapple (all frozen),
14oz cold purified water
2 scoops of SP Complete
1 scoop of Whey Pro Complete
1 tiny scoop of HAL brand stevia powder (From Whole Foods)

Blended on the highest speed my vita-mix can go.  It was a nice purple smooth as silk smoothie that I drank while en route to the office.

Mid morning snack: 10am I had 16oz cold purified water with 2 scoops of SP Complete and a little stevia extract

12:30pm Lunch was a mixed greens-mixed veggie salad that I made before I left the house this morning. I used the same vinaigrette from yesterday (I always make a big batch of it).

Mid afternoon snack: 3:00pm: Fresh Peach picked at Lane Orchard, GA 2 days before. Yum!

Late afternoon snack: 5:00pm: 16oz cold purified water with 2 scoops of SP Complete and a little stevia extract. Took my 2nd set of 7-SP Cleanse capsules.

Was an extremely busy day at the office and I was surprised I still had such a good energy level at this time of the day with this much of a patient load.  No headaches and feeling good overall-and very happy about it!!

6:30pm: Arrived home and my wife had steamed some artichokes (which are great detox foot) and some sautéed bella mushrooms and Vidalia onions which we had along with ½ cup of rice.

7:30pm: Had a couple figs. 

9:00pm had a large glass of water with my last set of 7-SP Cleanse capsules and 2 Tuna Omega-3 gel caps.

10:30pm – Went to bed. Day 2 a success! Onto day 3.

Standard Process 21-Day Purification Program - Day 1 | A Day In My Life


Day-1 | A Day In My Life On The Standard Process 21-Day Purification Program

So today I started the Standard Process 21-Day Purification Program for my 9th time. I wrote about my original experience, summarizing it all in one blog post which you can read by clicking here.  Since my original experience I’ve been counseling groups of 10-50 through the program and continue to work with people on an individual basis as well.  Mothers-daughters, husbands-wives, you get the picture.

One thing I have consistently experienced is that everyone does well on this program. Recently a good friend of mine, who is a type II diabetic that for the past year was having to take insulin, actually stopped being dependent on insulin. You can read about his 1st week off of insulin by clicking here.  He followed up with another blog after being a diabetic for 8 years and off insulin for 40 days. People do it for a variety of reasons, from wanting to lose weight or reduce their cholesterol, to learning how to control their diabetes or simply wanting to feel better and have more energy. 

For me, it’s simply just time to do it again. I personally like to do this program every 6 months to get back to the very basics of clean-healthy eating.  It helps me feel better, think more clearly, sleep better, digest better and gives me back that youthful energy that we seem to lose somewhere along the way. 

So today ended day 1 for me. I woke up, took my 7-SP Cleanse capsules, made a mixed berry smoothie (frozen blueberries, blackberries, raspberries & strawberries), 2-scoops of SP Complete and 1-scoop of Whole Food Fiber. About 14 ounces of water and 1 little scoop of stevia powder.

My 10:00am in-between meal snack was simply 2-scoops of SP Complete in 14 ounces of purified ice cold water, (shaken-not stirred).  At first it doesn’t taste great but you’ll get use to it. The SP Complete is a very nutritious shake mix but really doesn’t taste so good. That’s why I usually put a small pinch or stevia powder in it.  But SP Complete is a great source of nutrients and protein while you’re on the program AND, it instantly takes away any hunger pangs you may be experiencing.

Lunch was around 12:30pm and was a simple organic mixed field greens with mixed veggies salad. Dressing was a balsamic vinaigrette that I use either grapes or a bit of stevia for sweetness. Here’s a link to the recipe video where you can watch me make it.  Feel free to play around with the recipe. If you come up with something good, email it to me.

At 2:00pm I was getting a little hungry and in the mood for a snack. So I took a handful of carrot sticks and the vinaigrette for dipping and had at it.

3:00pm: started getting a mild bordering on moderate “detox headache”. Feels like a dull nagging ache at the right side of my neck extending up to the right occiput (where your neck connects to your skull).

Around 4:00pm I had another shake but this time it was one of my little variations.  I mixed 2-scoops of SP Complete in 14 ounces of purified ice cold water, 1 pinch of stevia and 1 tablespoon of organic cocoa powder.  This time I blended it up to help the cocoa powder dissolve and it made it a bit frothy.  At this time, I took my 2nd set of 7-SP Cleanse capsules.

In between my meals and in between meal snacks/shakes I’ll drink 16 or so ounces of water. If no one has told you by now, here’s how you figure out how to figure out how much water you should be drinking daily (active athletes should consult their coach as your fluid needs will be different). In general, take your weight, divide it in half. Convert that number into ounces and that’s how much water you should drink daily.  For me, 200/2=100. 100 ounces of water/day.

7:00pm: Dinner was eaten out. This could be a very difficult ordeal so you’ll have to speak up when it comes to eating out while on the 21-Day Purification Program. We went to a local place that serves some fairly clean food and I ordered some mildly sautéed julienne veggies in Olive Oil over a small amount of brown rice. I had about 4 forkfuls of the brown rice but devoured all the veggies.  It was good, filling and satisfying.

In order to satisfy my sweet tooth, around 9:00pm I had a fig, 2 dates and a couple prunes. 

10:00pm I had a hot green tea with stevia and sipped it as I watched a DVD and then I downed my 3rd and final set of 7-SP Cleanse capsules before going to sleep. Still have the “Detox headache”

I woke up at 5:45am, no alarm and feeling like I got a good night of restful sleep. 

No detox headache!!!

Now that’s what I’m talking about!

Day 1 complete… onto day 2.
