No, not at all. On day one everybody will start the program by enjoying easy to prepare, tasty foods that are part of our special Anti-Inflammatory Diet. On days two and three you will have a choice between continuing with the Anti-Inflammatory Diet or switching to two days of very nutritious vegetable juices and vegetable broths Detox Meal Plan. On day four you will start to eat juicy and easy to digest whole fruits and vegetables. On day five, the final day of the program, you will return to eating the rich Anti-Inflammatory Diet that will fully prepare the stomach so you can eat normally on the following day, after finishing the Detox program.

We have been running Detox Retreats and Programs for many years, and we are affiliated with www.amwellness.org which runs Detox Centers in many different countries. The Anti-Inflammatory Meal Plan contains delicious food preparations and the Vegetables Juices and Broths are packed with extra nutrients, minerals, vitamins and fibers.  So we have never seen anyone feel hungry during the program. To the contrary, everyone has experienced a sense of fullness an satisfaction. Our clients are often surprised how easy it is.

Detox symptoms such as headaches, constipation or tiredness can be quite common, especially if people are used to drinking coffee several times a day. In order to avoid any unpleasant symptoms, we recommend that all participants follow the Preparatory Guidelines, that you will receive immediately upon choosing your program. These can be implemented at least a few days prior to starting the detox program. These Preparatory Guidelines will help your body prepare to detox, opening up all major detox pathways, thus easily avoiding any detox symptoms. A special easy to find Ayurvedic preparation will also be recommended to help an effective but gentle colon cleanse. This helps you establish regular bowel movements. The program also includes an easy, gentle liver and gallbladder cleanse, which will help these very important organs of elimination and detoxification regain their optimal functioning. However tiredness may still be experienced during the core two days, especially if you choose to do a juice fast. Thus, it is advised to take time to rest and relax as much as needed during that time.

At the end of the program, on the last day, you will certainly feel lighter and happier, with more energy and vitality. Your mind will feel clearer, too. You will naturally gravitate towards wanting to continue a good, balanced, healthy diet. The end of the program is also the perfect time to make a resolution to start following the most healthy diet for you, incorporating all the good lifestyle practices you have learned during the program. We will support you to create your own healthy and balanced diet and lifestyle routine.
