February 2015 Detox and Juice Fast
Starting in early February I will be offering a group (or individual) juice fast and/or clean food driven detox as a way of eliminating the toxins accumulated throughout 2014 and the festive season, and cleansing from the inside out to improve energy levels, digestive function, mental clarity, sleep quality and the immune system to prevent the 2015 winter colds and flus and spring hayfever – amongst other benefits.
There will be 5 different juice fast or clean food driven detox options offered.
I will monitor all participants along the way, including using Bio-Impedance testing which will offer measures of biologocal age, cellular energy production, toxicity and inflammation levels and muscle and fat mass levels.
As an introduction, I will be offering a free talk at Surfcoast Wholefoods on Thursday 29th January at 7pm, where I will discuss the benefits of fasting and outline all of the details of the 5 fast or detox options. And the differences between each option.
Give your body a fresh start and a head start for 2015. It will love you!!
Below is a testimonial from a client who has previously conducted my longest juice fast on offer.
“I would absolutely recommend to anyone to do the 2 week fast followed by the 4 week detox which Tim recommends and supports you through.
You must be mentally prepared. Fasting is not an easy challenge, it is breaking all habits and living a very clean and simple life with minimum intake. Fast = juicing + herbal teals…THAT IS IT for 2 weeks!!!
Therefore some days are extremely tough and you just want to throw it all in…however you get past day 3, coffee cravings have gone as have the thirst for wine!
Day 4 is onward and upwards. Certainly not the energy you are use to but a lighter feeling indeed and not just because you are losing weight (which was not the reason I signed up to do this!!) but there is a sense of feeling very clean…cleansed!
Fast is finally over and onto the detox program, reintroducing simple, fresh, raw foods. Eating small meals, regularly. Not too dissimilar to the way I was eating but no wine, less socialising but a great new outlook on life.
My new outlook was you can socialise without food, without alcohol. You can sit around a pot of herbal tea of veggie meal and have an amazing time with your friends.
The process was to cleanse my body, which it did, then reintroduce whole foods which I did, and gradually bring back meat, poultry, fish, etc.
My partner and I did this together, his support was crucial, very much leant on each other. We didn’t exercise throughout the fast for obvious reasons, but once we started getting our energy back from our food intake we had healthy minds and so much energy. We achieved so much personally and physically throughout this program.
We met Tim weekly and had our tests done, I decreased weight, lost necessary fluids, lost inches and gained my youth. I am 33 years of age and came out as a 29 year old!! Got to love that.
Tim would talk us through the different stages, the feelings we were having, encourage us when we were at a low and reassured us we were on the right track.
Tim has been through the fast/detox many times and can help you through the feelings of doubt and can share the celebrations at the end of each week’s measurements.
Almost 3 months on and I still very much feel the benefit of the program.
My mind is clearer, I don’t feel the need to have a wine with dinner, eat a lot of raw, organic food, a lot of juices. I don’t crave sugar like I use to and I just simply feel great, healthy and full of energy.
Good luck!”
