The Blood Sugar Solution 10-Day Detox Diet: Activate Your Body's Natural Ability to Burn Fat and Lose Weight Fast (19 page)

Your template for the ten days is simple. While the daily to-dos are the same, the recipes and daily theme are customized so you’ll know exactly what to cook, eat, and focus on each day. All you have to do is follow each step carefully and the results happen automatically.

Here is the plan you’re going to follow for each of the ten days. I encourage you to do each of these practices at roughly the same time every day, to balance your biological rhythms and help your body heal:

1. Take your measurements and track your results in your Detox Journal or online tracking tool.
   
2. Walk (or do another form of moderate exercise) for thirty minutes.
   
3. Take supplements as directed.
   
4. Make your Breakfast Detox Shake (take PGX with a glass of water just before eating).
   
5. Eat a snack (optional).
   
6. Have lunch (take PGX with a glass of water just before eating).
   
7. Eat an afternoon snack (optional).
   
8. Enjoy dinner (take PGX with a glass of water just before eating).
   
9. Write in your Detox Journal, recording your experience and answering that day’s focus questions.
   
10. Practice the Take-Five Breathing Break for five minutes.
    
11. Take your UltraDetox Bath.
    
12. Sleep for seven to eight hours.
    
13. Throughout the day: Drink eight glasses of clean, filtered water.
    
14. Throughout the day: Be mindful of the power of a media fast during the program and limit your use of phone, e-mail, and screen time to essential work or personal activities. I promise the world will still be there when you get back.
    

The elements included in the 10-Day Detox are designed to work together to create powerful results. You don’t have to believe or understand them—just do them anyway. They work automatically. Once you do them, you will discover their hidden synergistic powers of healing. Here’s everything you need to know about how to do each of the practices:

Do your daily exercise first thing in the morning to jump-start your metabolism and set your day on the right course. If you’ve never exercised before, start with thirty minutes of gentle walking. If exercise is already part of your life or you feel ready for slightly more strenuous movement, go for it! You might be surprised by how motivated and energized you feel.

Each morning, before your walk and before you eat breakfast, record the following stats in your Detox Journal or online tracking tool. Research shows that the simple act of recording these numbers multiplies your success and increases weight loss:
