Love Your Body Fall Cleanse, Starting October 14th!

Hi Everyone,

I am sending a follow up post about the upcoming 10 day fall cleanse starting on Monday, October 14th, because I have had a few people ask me for more details about what the cleanse entails and what signing up will include from me.

Here is the scoop.  The cleanse will focus on eating foods that are more seasonal like root vegetables, leafy greens, squashes and certain grains like rice, quinoa, millet and oats and buckwheat. It will also include both animal and vegetarian sources of protein like fish, poultry and beans.  

We will avoid processed foods like white and wheat flour, refined sugar, alcohol and coffee.  If possible, red meat should be either eliminated or eaten minimally during  the 10 days.  

I will provide a 10 day menu plan with recipes.  There will be some repeats so you don’t need to cook everyday.  Also, while there will be a structured  menu plan given, it is there for inspiration and guidance but you do not need to follow it daily.  If you are like me and prefer not to be pinned down by a daily meal plan and just want to know which foods to incorporate and which to avoid, you will have a list of those foods as a resource.  

For those of you who are biting your nails over giving up coffee, remember, it is only for 10 days!  

If you are a coffee drinker, I will give you a protocol for how to give it up during this time.  It will be done incrementally to minimize the withdrawal symptoms.  

For those of you nervous about giving up alcohol for 10 days, it might be hard to forego your evening red wine or weekend cocktail but remember it is temporary and your liver will love you for it!  I will give you a couple of non-alcoholic beverage ideas to try during the cleanse to ease the pain!  

Here are some of the benefits of foregoing coffee, alcohol and sugar (after a couple of days)

• increased energy
• a stronger sense of well being
• getting in touch with your body’s own rhythm
• increased joy
• more clarity
• increased immunity for the  upcoming cold/flu season
• maybe a loss of a few pounds (I don’t like to promise this one, but it could easily happen)

Okay, I hope that gives you have a clearer sense of the cleanse and why it’s worth the effort of joining me on October 14th.  Below is an example of what a cleanse day could look like.

To sign up, please either email me: Lysa.Ingalsbe@gmail.com or call 845.594.2127.  You can send me a check or I can take a credit card over the phone (I am still figuring out how to do this). The cost is $25.

My address is 30 Nissen Lane, West Hurley, NY, 12491

Lastly, if you have a friend you would like to share this with, please do!  

Thank you, and remember to check out the below sample cleanse menu plan!
