<strong>Welcome</strong> to your Spring Forward Detox Program. I am so<br />
excited and I know you are too. My overall philosophy is<br />
based on bio-individuality; that no one diet works for<br />
everyone. So I encourage you to listen to your body and get<br />
in tune with what will work for you during the detox process,<br />
Remember the goal of this detox is to feel radiant, renewed<br />
and recharged.<br />
You are about to embark on a journey that will be life<br />
changing. You will find everything you need to successfully<br />
follow your program with ease. Please read through all your<br />
detox materials so you feel confident and supported.<br />
During this detox program, you will focus on nourishing all<br />
the aspects of your life so you can feel balanced. You will be<br />
getting an email everyday from me with tips and suggestions<br />
for your daily detox. The detox is broken down into 3 phases:<br />
Pre-Detox, Detox and Transition. You are guided through<br />
every day so detox is fun, pleasurable and easy. You can feel<br />
lighter, brighter and more fabulous when you are finished.<br />
Cheers!<br />
Laura<br />

Wednesday, April 24 th – Signed Waiver Due<br />
Please email your signed waiver to Laura@VibrantHW.com NO LATER than<br />
Wednesday, April 24 th . If you fail to do so, I will not be able to include you in<br />
the group cleanse, and I want you there! The waiver is on the last page of this<br />
document<br />
Saturday, April 27 th – Pre-Detox Start Date<br />
The pre-detox phase will last 4 days. During this time we will begin to remove<br />
the foods on the “avoid” list (will be provided) over these first 4 days. This is<br />
also that time to rid your home of foods that will not benefit your cleanse to<br />
reduce temptation. It is also the time to look over the recipes and prepare for<br />
the week. Many of the soups and salads can be made in advance.<br />
Wednesday, May 1 st – 7-Day Detox Begins<br />
For the detox, you will receive a meal plan, shopping list, and recipe book. You<br />
may feel free to replace any meal or snack for another meal or snack, as well as<br />
add healthy forms of protein to any of the meals. The Detox Guide that you<br />
will receive has great tips on adding protein.<br />
Wednesday, May 8 th – Post-Detox Transition Begins<br />
This is perhaps the most important part of the detox. During this time, you will<br />
begin to introduce certain foods back in to your diet. This is the time to make<br />
decisions about what foods are unnecessary and which you would like to keep<br />
in your diet. It is very important to introduce foods back in slowly (every 1-2<br />
days) and record how you are feeling. You will receive meal plans for 4 days<br />
and tips on transitioning from then on.<br />

Some things to keep in mind:<br />
1. Everyone will react differently to this cleanse. Common side<br />
effects can include headaches, increased bowel movements, and<br />
lowered energy levels. While these may be normal feelings,<br />
modifications can be made to the diet plan. Please contact me for<br />
assistance with any modifications or side effects. If at any time you<br />
feel that this is not the right time for your body to cleanse, please<br />
feel free to end. The materials are yours to keep for any time that<br />
you feel is right. If at any time you are uncomfortable, please stop<br />
the cleanse and see your medical professional.<br />
2. It’s ok to eat more food- in fact, its encouraged. If you are<br />
feeling hungry on this cleanse, it is important to make sure you are<br />
eating enough. Feel free to add in an extra snack or see your Detox<br />
Guide for adding in healthy protein sources.<br />
3. I am at your disposal! Please feel free to contact me on our group<br />
Facebook page or at Laura@VibrantHW.com for questions,<br />
suggestions, inspiration, or anything else you might need! It is what<br />
I am here for and one of the great things about the detox- that I am<br />
able to offer personalized attention to you to help you reach your<br />
goals. The Facebook group is also a great resource, as everyone in<br />
the group can post about how they are feeling and new ideas.<br />
