FAQs
1. Is there a shopping list?
a. Since three is no set menu and you are allowed to mix and match the recipes that
sound the best to you, there is no shopping list. Be sure to sit down prior to the
cleanse, review each recipe, and gather the necessary ingredients. Its best to do
this prior to starting so that you dont feel overwhelmed with shopping and cooking
during the week or find yourself missing something when your hunger begins to
rear its ugly head.
2. What is the 12-hour fasting window?
a. When planning your meals, try to leave a 12-hour gap between the times you
finish your last bite of the day to when you eat breakfast the following morning.
This fasting allows your body to produce the proper hormones that optimize
metabolism and detoxification.
3. Im experiencing a headache, low energy, cravings, mood swings, etc.
a. These are most likely symptoms of detoxification. Hang in therethey will pass and
you will start to feel amazing! Think about cleaning your house it gets messy before
it starts to shine doesnt it?
b. Heres a few tips to help you get over the hump. These suggestions should get those
toxins flowing and help eliminate them so you can begin to nourish your body.
i. Drink plenty of water Even though you are drinking NutriBlasts, your body
requires water not only to stay hydrated, but also to help keep your bowels regular.
When you increase fiber consumption, you can clog up if you dont add water to
your routine. The whole idea is to move things along.
ii. Sweat it out Toxins are eliminated by three avenues; the digestive tract, the
lungs, and the skin. Performing light activities to work up a sweat will not only
remove toxins through your pores, but will help get lymph fluid moving along
(see massages below). Other options to induce a good sweat include a dry or
wet sauna or steam room.
iii. Pamper yourself with an at-home spa day Dry brushing and Epsom salt baths
are great additions to a cleansing plan. Brush off dead skin cells and soak in the tub
with heavy-metal binding salts to help speed along the process.
iv. Massages Massages do more than relax sore muscles. They stimulate lymph
flow. The lymphatic system helps remove debris and waste that the body
no longer needs. By circulating blood and lymph your body will recover from
detox symptoms more rapidly. If possible, opt for a manual lymphatic drainage
or a deep tissue massage; they both work wonders!
v. Have a headache? - Try some green tea to help curb a caffeine withdrawal.
Whatever you do, dont give into the coffee habit. Crave sweets? Give it time to
The 180 Cleanse: A 5-Day Fresh Start
subside. Resist the temptation to eat sugary foods or processed carbs. If you
must, add in a bit a natural source of sweetness like more banana, a pitted date,
some berries or a slice of apple.
vi. Just Breathe! Yoga and breathing exercises (known as pranayama) help release
built-up toxins by way of the lungs. Yoga is a wonderful cleansing component
as it connects movement with your breath. This takes care of the sweat
component, too!
4. Why am Im experiencing a change in bowel habits?
a. Most likely this is due to a sudden increase in fiber. If constipated, be sure you are
still drinking plenty of water to push it through your digestive system. If you are
experiencing more frequent bathroom breaks, you may wish to cut back on the high
fiber recipes and include more of the protein options. This is your bodys way of
adapting to a change in diet and will most likely pass. For any abnormal bowel habits,
please consult your physician.
5. How much sleep should I be getting each night?
a. Try to get at least seven hours of sleep each night. Ideally, eight or nine hours of
quality sleep is recommended.
6. Can I eat _____?
a. A clean diet rules out a few foods, but shouldnt leave you feeling deprived or restricted
in any way. There are plenty of acceptable foods to choose from. We encourage you
to stay away from sugary sodas and sweets, the white processed flours and breads,
gluten-containing grains and breads, alcohol, caffeine, processed meats, and dairy.
7. What if I get hungry; can I snack?
a. Weve provided a list of healthy snack options. While we encourage you to stick to
the three meals each day, we do not want you to go hungry. Be sure it is true hunger
and not emotional triggers such as boredom, unhappiness, or just out of habit.
Alternatively, you may need a larger portion at one particular meal to help starve
off hunger until you reach the next one.
8. Can I switch between levels?
a. Once you choose a plan, try to stick with it. However, if you are struggling or find one
level isnt meeting your expectations, then it is perfectly acceptable to switch it up.
9. Can I substitute ingredients I may not like or are sensitive to?
a. Absolutely! If you are changing a recipe for fear you may not like a certain ingredient,
I encourage you to give it a try. Our recipes are made with foods that provide a wealth
of nutrients. If you are allergic or sensitive to an ingredient, then yes, please change
it to suit your needs. We often get asked for banana, nut, or avocado replacements.
Some good choices to use instead are frozen mango, pear, unroasted cashews,
Greek or coconut milk yogurt, pumpkin or other type of seed, coconut butter or
other nut butter.
