January 16, 2014Ask A Nutritionist: Foods to Reduce Inflammation
February 4, 201425 people took on the HEAL Pre-Holiday Cleanse in December 2013 and made a commitment to their health by reducing or avoiding alcohol, sugar and other excesses over 14 days during the most hectic time of the year! Congratulations to all who participated! In conjunction with Dr Sara Celik’s LoseIt Tea, many of the participants lost weight before the holiday’s while breaking sugar and caffeine habits that they had be wanting to change! Participant received daily emails, daily recipes, and group support!
The response was amazing and here’s what people had to say:
“Tara, it was a great cleanse. I have been able to stop my sugar cravings, but I’m not testing myself. I don’t go near the stuff. I’ve stuck to the eating plan. I don’t do the recipes though, I’m a simple eater. I’ve eaten lots of vegs with hummus. I lost six pounds and have stabilized, my system. I understand that the weight loss is probably part water, but I do feel much better. Cheers and thanks again for introducing this cleanse to me”. Claire, Toronto
“I’m Really enjoying the teas. My goal was to get off coffee (yes I only drank less than one cup a day but I don’t want to drink it at all because it’s a crutch to get me going). I have so little appetite. It’s bizarre. Honestly I can’t remember the last time I was this disinterested in food. So far, my biggest challenge is eating enough. I’m thirsty and drinking to satisfy that but food – meh…I feel ok but really needing a sleep every afternoon (1-2 hours) and I feel much better afterwards and can get some stuff done” – Sue, Toronto
“I thought the cleanse was going to be a lot harder than it was. I was a bit worried when Shannon told me he signed us up. I am so glad we did it. Here are a few reasons why: I lost 4 pounds, but I look and feel like I lost more. Shannon lost 9, but after the Ironman he had decreased his training. He was also treating himself a bit food wise before the cleanse -ice cream 😉 Family and friends have been commenting on how god my skin looks. It also feels much softer. I cut out caffeine and after a few days I did not even miss it. I think now that it is over I will go back to only 1 cup of green tea in the morning – I used to drink 2 to 3 cups in the morning. I love the tea!” Robyn & Shannon, Toronto
I’m going to be running another group cleanse in March. If you’re interested in signing up, email: Tara@heal-nutrition.com / Subject Cleanse, pre-sale will start soon. Don’t want to wait for the group, and just want to try the teas you can have a look here at Dr Sara Celik’s LoseIt Tea!
