Welcome to Day 21!!!!
Well, the final day of your detox program has finally arrived. Don’t be tempted to come off early, stay strong and finish out the program. After all, you’ve worked this hard for 20 days.
How Should I Feel Today?
On your final day of the program, you should find that you are feeling great and probably thinking a little bit about how you are going to miss how wonderful you have been feeling. Well, the wonderful feelings do not have to end. If you apply the tips we have been sharing and extend your newly developed habits into your everyday life, the good feelings can continue. Remember how much energy you have now and how well you have been sleeping. Once you start to reintroduce foods and resume some of your old habits, think back to this point and you may just find that a Coke or Twinkie just isn’t worth it…
Weight Loss
Do you want to continue losing weight even though the program is ending? A simple tip is to continue using Truestar shakes as meal replacements. You can replace up to two meals a day with shakes depending on how aggressive your weight loss goals are. Your other meals should conform to the 40-30-30 rule. 40 percent of calories from carbohydrate, 30 percent from protein and 30 percent from fat. A chicken caesar salad is a good example of a meal that meets these percentages.
Reminders
Have you acted on all of our recommendations? If you have, you are prepared to conclude the program and move on to the re-introduction of additional foods. If you haven’t, or perhaps you couldn’t get an appointment with your doctor for a few days, remember, you can stay on the program as long as you desire. It is actually quite healthy to continue doing Truestar shakes and the other supplements daily.

Welcome to Day 18!
As we have indicated over the last several days, you should really be enjoying this part of the program. You should be feeling great, experiencing energy levels you may not have experienced for many years, and you should find that as many as 70% of the symptoms you experienced before embarking on this purification have now disappeared or at least minimized.
While we are discussing how great you feel, let us pose a question? Have you found this program to be of benefit to you? If so, then why in the world are you not screaming this from the rooftops and telling all of your friends to go see Dr. Heather Cardin? Are you embarrassed? Why not share your success and become an inspiration to your friends and family.
We want to stress that this is not about the money. This is about people’s lives. People do not realize just how toxic they are or how wonderful they can feel by purging those toxins from their body. Please, tell someone you care about how this program has changed your life and make a difference in his or hers. Trust us, they’ll thank you!
How Should I Feel Today?
You should continue to feel wonderful today. As always, if you have questions about something that is concerning you, please contact Dr. Heather Cardin at askdrheather.net
Weight Loss
Have you tried adding some time in the sauna to your workout? Remember, sweating is the key to releasing those toxins and shedding those pounds. Stay hydrated and make sure you are working up a sweat. If you are walking on a treadmill for 30 minutes, but barely breaking a sweat, you are not receiving a good workout. The key is to sweat, sweat, sweat!
Reminders
Remember to fill out your Daily Intake Journal in your Purification Booklet and note how you are feeling. It is important that you develop this habit now, as you will want to continue this beyond the program as you reintroduce other foods into your diet. This is an important part of identifying what foods might possibly be making you feel bad or that you might be allergic to.

Welcome to Day 17!
An important part of maintaining the results you achieve from the program is continuing the process you have started of a healthy diet and good supplementation. Those are the two components we are going to discuss today.
Healthy Diet
These days it seems that there is a new ‘fad diet’ popping up almost daily. So, what diet should you choose? We recommended the Low-Carb Mediterranean Type Diet. Many diets you are familiar with are actually variations based on this diet. For more information about how and what to eat, download the reference sheet below.
Good Supplementation
In a perfect world we would be eating all the right nutrient-dense foods, freshly grown, without chemicals or additives. However, between what is available to Americans today and what we choose to eat, our diets are actually quite lacking in the nutrients we need to be healthy. Therefore, an important part of ensuring you are receiving the nutrition you need each day is good supplementation.
How Should I Feel Today?
You have reached the ‘good’ part of the program where you should have been feeling great for the past several days and that feeling should continue today.
Weight Loss
Make sure you are limiting your fruit and meat intake and focusing on your vegetables. With just 5 days more you want to make sure that you are maintaining the good eating habits you have developed over the last couple of weeks.
Reminders
Plan ahead for the completion of the program. Please don’t think that you will be able to adopt your old habits and still maintain the results you have achieved. Start thinking now about the changes you will make in your everyday life.
Recipe of the Day
Garlic Salmon Fillets
Ingredients:
- Salmon fillets, skinned
- 1/3 cup extra virgin olive oil

Welcome to Day 16!
“It is the mark of an educated mind to be able to entertain a thought without accepting it.” – Aristotle
With all of the diet trends and new health information constantly being presented to you, how do you know what to believe? Well, Google is your friend! Do not be afraid to challenge anything we have presented and research it for yourself. The findings we have presented to you and will continue to present to you over the coming days are the result of our intense research into optimal health through nutrition. We continually challenge the ‘norm’ to ensure that we do not simply believe the marketing of some pharmaceutical company, food manufacturer or even supposed ‘health agencies’. Thus, we encourage you to do the same. You should feel free to challenge things that do not instinctively sound or ‘feel’ right to you. Over the years we have found that when you discover the truth (for example the way we feel about whole food nutrition) it just resonates deep within you.
How Should I Feel Today?
You should continue to feel wonderful today. As always, if you have questions about something that is concerning you, please contact Dr. Heather Cardin at askdrheather.net
Weight Loss
Remember to limit your fruit, sweet potatoes and yam intake. As we have said numerous times, cruciferous vegetables are your best friends. Drinks lots of water, exercise and sweat! Perhaps you have lost some weight, but remember, you are not done losing weight on the program. If you have just begun to lose weight in the last several days, keep up the good work and you will continue to see positive results.
Reminders
Don’t forget our first 3 suggestions:
1. If you have an upcoming physical or are on medications you would like to possibly come off of, schedule an appointment with your doctor before you come off the program. Your test results will show vast improvement and this is your opportunity to put your best foot forward.
2.Plan to SLOWLY reintroduce foods into your diet. Don’t think that you can simply indulge on Day 22 and your body will comply.
3.Let your friends, family and co-workers know that this was not a diet. Inform them about the lifestyle changes you are making and you’ll be surprised how much support you will get!
Recipe of the Day

Welcome to Day 15!
Unless you are living in a biosphere (which we are pretty confident you aren’t!), you are not isolated from those around you. Friends, family and co-workers all play an important role in making any lifestyle change.
Our third suggestion for you before you come off the program is to let those around you know that the changes you have made over the last few weeks are not temporary. Let them know that this isn’t just a diet that as soon as you complete it you are going to resume your old eating habits.
One purification program graduate noted that before the program he was drinking several Cokes a day. Coke was his vice. After he completed the program, naturally, his wife brought a Coke up to him at work one day, as she always had. He was strong and resisted, but this highlights the need to make sure that you identify the bad habits that you are not going to resume and share that with those around you, especially those who care about you. This will help them to avoid introducing unnecessary temptations as well as avoid the embarrassment of having to turn down some food or drink they have given you or picked up at the local fast food joint.
Remember, “He who fails to plan, plans to fail.”
How Should I Feel Today?
You should continue to feel wonderful today. As always, if you have questions about something that is concerning you, please contact Dr. Heather Cardin at askdrheather.net.
Weight Loss
Remember, don’t wait to get hungry. Waiting increases cravings, lowers your blood sugar level and can lead to fatigue. Make sure you are eating small meals throughout the day. If you find you are getting hungry between meals, consider doing a shake halfway between those meals and also make sure you are getting at least 8 glasses of water each day.
Reminders
Make sure you are having 1-3 bowel movements each day during the program. If not, make sure that you are drinking enough water. Remember, you should be drinking at least 8 glasses of water a day.

Welcome to Day 13 – Almost 2 weeks down and 1 to go!
Congratulations! Two weeks down, one to go!
After having a meal, have you ever experienced symptoms such as fatigue, headaches, congestion, pounding heart and so on. These could all be indications of potential food allergies, along with other common symptoms including skin irritations such as rashes, hives, and eczema or gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea, diarrhea and vomiting.
As your program draws to a conclusion, you are going to be reintroducing foods into your diet that you have not consumed in at least 2 weeks. This reintroduction, if performed properly, is the perfect time to identify food allergies you may have.
This leads us to our second recommendation for you (remember the first was making an appointment with your doctor in the next week). We recommended that you plan to SLOWLY reintroduce items into your diet. This is key, not just for identifying allergies, but also just to allow your body time to figure out how to process these foods properly. After 2 weeks of healthy eating and training your body to release toxins you do not want to shock your system with all kinds of ‘bad’ food and drink.
One purification program graduate went to a gathering the day after she completed the detox. Over the course of a few hours, she had several glasses of wine. At the end of the night she wondered exactly how much she had consumed, so after doing the math (3 people, 3 bottles) she realized that she had the equivalent of a whole bottle to herself. Although she is not allergic to red wine, within hours of drinking she developed a rash on both arms and her upper torso that lasted 2 days. Her body was not able to cope with that much alcohol after 3 weeks of healthy eating and zero alcohol.
We will detail a reintroduction plan in more detail over the coming week.
How Should I Feel Today?
You should be feeling excellent, as detailed yesterday. At this point (with 7 days to go) you should be starting to feel like your body can handle just about anything you throw at it. Well, as detailed in the introduction above, you want to be careful. Don’t get ahead of yourself. Stay focused and no cheating!
Weight Loss
Are you still avoiding those cravings? Getting your cravings under control while on the program will help you to carry on limiting those carb-heavy foods after Day 21.
Reminders
Don’t forget, ideally 50% or more of the vegetables you are consuming each day should be raw or lightly steamed.

Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Eggplant
Ingredients:
- Stir-Fried Tomatoes and Eggplant

Welcome to Day 12 of the Detox!
How Should I Feel Today?
Not to sound like a broken record, but today should be more of the same. You are one day closer to completing the program and, to be blunt, here’s how you should be feeling…
You should feel more in control, more at ease, more at peace with your own body, more charismatic, more sensual and overall just more alive! In other words, you should be feeling GREAT! The good news is that this great feeling should continue on through the rest of the 21 days and beyond the conclusion of the program, assuming of course that you incorporate some of the changes you have made into your everyday life.
Weight Loss
Are you using your newfound energy for working out? I know we have mentioned this multiple times, but sweating is KEY to losing weight. Drink lots of water and sweat, sweat, sweat.
Reminders
If you are experiencing constipation, remember to drink at least 64 ounces of water per day. In addition, be sure to eat plenty of vegetables and fruits with high fiber content. Eating a beet a day will also encourage regular bowel movements. Talk with your health care professional for other recommendations.

Welcome to Day 11 of the Detox!
Most likely you have enjoyed a day of reintroducing meat back into your diet. Hopefully you stuck to the amounts recommended and didn’t overdo it. Remember to pace yourself, as you do not want to spoil 11 days of hard work!
How Should I Feel Today?
You should feel good after the reintroduction of meat into your diet. Many people find that they have more energy, especially at the gym, after reintroducing protein from food (as opposed to simply adding the whey protein into their shakes).
If you do not feel good, you should ensure you are tracking how you feel and what you are eating in your Daily Intake Journal. This is a key component of identifying what foods ‘agree’ with you and which ones don’t. If you find that something you have reintroduced makes you feel less than 100%, experiment with not having that again for a day or so, then reintroduce it and see if the same negative reactions return. If they do, flag that food as a potential allergen and discuss this with your health care provider.
Weight Loss
Have you not lost weight on the program so far? Well, don’t give up. Are your clothes fitting better? Do you notice that your face is looking healthier? It is entirely possible that you are losing fat even if you are not losing pounds. This is actually quite common and you will find that as you continue to eat healthy and exercise the pounds will then begin to come off.
As you are reintroducing meat into your diet, remember that you should not ‘fill up’ on meat. It is VERY important that you are eating lots of healthy vegetables and limiting your fruit intake. It is these vegetables (especially cruciferous vegetables) that will help you to become healthier and lose weight.
Reminders
Points to Ponder: Cruciferous vegetables have been shown in numerous studies to dramatically reduce your chance of getting cancer, especially hormonal cancers like breast, prostate and ovarian. Some studies have even shown a reduction in bladder and lung cancer.

Eating these powerful foods daily can make dramatic changes in the outcome of your life, so make them part of your diet from now on. Don’t let the good habits you develop during the purification program go to waste.
One patient said, “I had to learn to eat to live and not just live to eat.” Great advice! In reality, good foods taste good and after the 21 days you will surprised to find that almost any meal you like can be made in a healthier manner. The key is learning to use the right oils, right flour and right sugar (i.e. natural, unrefined sugar cane). Once you start cooking healthier you will feel better and love the way it tastes.
