FAQs

I’m ready to get started — any advice?

Yes! The biggest mistake people make is diving in too fast and getting overwhelmed. Remember, this isn’t a race — it’s a reset. Take it slow, give your body time to adjust, and listen to how you’re feeling. Big dietary changes take time, whether you have a stomach of steel or a more sensitive gut. Modify as needed, be kind to yourself, and trust the process. You’ll be so glad you stuck with it.

What’s your #1 tip for someone starting out?

Simple: give yourself grace. This isn’t just about a number on a scale — it’s about feeling better, sleeping better, moving better, and living better. I lost 10 pounds in my first month just by giving up alcohol, adding one shake a day, and sticking to the approved foods list. I added more supplements like fiber and greens as my body adjusted, and I averaged about 7 pounds a month after that.

I haven’t eaten healthy in a while — will all that fiber and veggies make me bloated?

Yep, let’s be real — your digestive system will notice the change. You might have more frequent bathroom trips and some extra gas for the first week or so. Totally normal! That’s why I suggest easing into it. Start with the basics, gradually add fiber, and keep simethicone (GasX) handy if needed. I only added half a scoop of Gut Health fiber after my first month — do what works for you.

Why aren’t there serving sizes on the approved foods list?

Because you honestly don’t need them. The beauty of clean, detoxifying whole foods is that you can eat until you’re satisfied and still lose weight. I never counted calories or measured portions — I ate from the approved list until I was full, and the weight came off. Simple, effective, and freeing.

You call yourself a “casual vegan” — do I have to be 100% vegan for this?

Nope. While it’s recommended to go fully plant-based for 30 days, I found what worked for me. I was 100% vegan for my first two months, then slowly reintroduced high-quality cheese, lean meats, and the occasional cocktail. The amazing thing is — your cravings change, and those “treat” foods don’t control you anymore. My health numbers at the doctor were the best they’d been in years. This is about progress, not perfection.

How do you stick with this when traveling?

Surprisingly easy. I’ve traveled internationally and for kids’ sports weekends and stayed on track. I bring my shake mix in travel containers, and if I’m driving, my NutriBullet comes with me. Otherwise, I’ll find a smoothie shop or ask hotel staff to blend my shake. Every hotel has a mini fridge and a plug for your blender. It’s totally doable if you decide you want to.
