Day 4 The 'worst' is over

DAY 4 YOU SHOULD BE releasing toxins as the' worst' is over. You should be eating pretty simply and even making new discoveries on how to make tasty, fat-free salads .

Below are additional comments and answers on the cleanse from Frederic Patenaude:

If you've been experiencing very strong cravings, it's probably because you have drastically cut the amount of calories you eat on a daily basis. So my advice would be to start eating a lot more than you've had so far, and try to eat more sweet fruits like mangoes and bananas and smoothies made with them.

If you've found it fairly easy to go through this cleanse, then you're doing fine so keep going the same way.

For today and tomorrow, keep focusing on eating mono meals.

Also I want to make it clear that what I say should not be viewed or interpreted as medical advice. What I do is share my health philosophy but it's up to you to evaluate what applies to your own particular situation.

Q: For some reason I have more gas then usual. . . please tell me if this is par for the course?

A: It would be normal for some people at this point to experience some gas. Avoid too many combinations and also avoid snacking all day.

So u should all have settled down on this cleanse by now. There are all kinds of things like lymph flushes etc. u can do without doctors orders to keep yourself clean. U don`t need to buy all those expensive cleanses that u see people peddling on the TV infomercials OR spend money on colonics. PLUS most of us that have colonics go back to eating badly immediately so it makes no sense, a proper waste of money.

Here are more recipes from FREDERIC PATENAUDE to get u through the next few days.
