21 DAYS OF LIVING A CLEAN LIFESTYLE. MEAL PLANS AND MOVEMENT TO RESET. DISCOVER YOUR
BEST BODY AND FIND A NEW WAY TO LIVE YOUR LIFE

This 21 day reset is designed to achieve long-term results by empowering you to discover
a clean, healthy lifestyle that is right for you; a lifestyle that will transform your body and
mind. This program is not about depriving oneself or setting you up for unrealistic expec-
tations. Rather, you will be inspired to discover your best body and mind through clean
plant-based eating, movement and self-care that you can incorporate into your everyday
living long after these 21 days are over. This isn’t a diet or a restrictive set of rules, this is
a plan that will help you create and live a lifestyle that will set you on your path to a long-
term transformation!

How in 21 days will we do this? We will start with the most important foundation and
decision we all make each and every day - the foods we decide to eat. The foods we put
into our bodies are so critical to our overall well-being for they help to keep the gut and the
microbiome that is found in our bodies healthy. Basically, the microbiome is the commu-
nity of bacteria that exists in our gut, mouth, lungs, skin, and brain and helps to regulate
and determine your hormones, immune system, energy levels, sleep, sex drive and more.
Did you know that 90% of your serotonin, a main contributor to feelings of well-being and
happiness, is found in the gut?

What you put in your body affects every part of your life and food is the easiest way to
control how we feel on the inside and how we can manifest our own best bodies and con-
trol how we look on the outside. Eating should be done with intention and the food you eat
should be working for you and with you! What you will learn in this 21 day reset is how to
create a healthy and sustainable relationship with the foods you eat and to give your body
the nourishment it deserves. We are all creatures of habit and we all tend to follow the
everyday routines we create in life. This 21 day plan will empower you to establish healthy
food habits whereby your eating routine will simply become part of who you are and how
you live the majority of your life.

While creating a healthy, clean food routine is key to properly nourishing your body and
mind, in order to look and feel your best we need to also seek to create a healthy life bal-
ance. This balance comes from movement, self care, career, love, sex, relationships and,
ultimately, how inspired and satisfied you feel. Therefore, this 21 day reset will also help
you dedicate the time in your day to ensure these areas are being met so that you are truly
living a life of balance.

I am excited you are ready to commit on this 21 day reset. Yes, this plan will take some will
power and, yes, there may be aspects of this plan that you may find hard at times. But I can
assure you, if you put forth the effort, time and commit yourself you will be on the path
to discovering your best body, to finding new ways to live your best life, and to feel happier
and more empowered. Your transformation starts now!

FIND THE WHY
“THE MIND IS EVERYTHING. WHAT YOU THINK YOU BECOME”

-BUDDHIST PROVERB

Life can shift so much when you create space for what matters most for YOU. The only
thing standing in your way to being in this “right space” is you. It’s time to ditch the
excuses and be who you want to be. A helpful way to prepare for your 21 day reset is to
reflect on why you have begun this journey and to ask yourself the following basic ques-
tions: Why did you buy this reset and what is driving you to start this journey? What do
you hope to achieve through this plan? Why do you want to eat clean and live a healthy
lifestyle? The good news is that by purchasing this reset you have already overcome the
hardest part of making any type of life change and that is to simply take the first step.
This plan is meant to be your guide but how far you take it comes down to your commit-
ment and it is so much easier to commit yourself when you know WHY you want this
and WHAT you hope to achieve.

If one of your “whys” is to lose five pounds for example, I want to suggest that you may
have the wrong “why”. Feeling like your best self does not automatically come from
losing five pounds from your body for what really matters and what will lead to sustained
success is how you FEEL inside. Think of this plan as an opportunity to feel empowered
from the inside out for in order to realize your best self you must begin by feeling good
about who you are. Losing five pounds is an outcome after you’ve done the work to be at
your best and this is where feeling empowered comes from. The ultimate goal for anyone
really is to live your best life, be happy most of the time, feel free in your body, and to
feel like your best self. If you achieve this, you will shed the pounds, your skin will shine
brighter, and your energy levels will increase.

You may be wondering what are my “whys”? My whys are to feel strong and confident
in my body, to eat without guilt, and to know what I am putting in my body is nourishing
me because food is the foundation of everything. I feel empowered by how I look on the
outside because I know how much self-care and work I have put in to being nourished
and healthy in the inside.

YOU deserve to feel good and to live in a body that you feel confident in. Why are you
going to commit yourself ? Why do you want this?

RESET GUIDELINES
In my 21-day rest, I have written and gone into depth about each part of this reset and
why each element matters. I did this because it is vital for you to understand why you are
committing to these life changes and healthy routines. If you know the why behind what
you are doing you are much more likely to have this 21-day routine become your routine
for life. So, here is a concise summary of the basic guidelines to finding your best body
over the next 21 days:

• Eating three clean, plant based meals a day (you can add in a healthy snack or two if
you like as well)

• Committing to a 12-hour food break from your last meal of the day to breakfast the
next morning

• Incorporating movement into your day at least 5 days a week

• Giving yourself at least 25 minutes a day for self care

• Mapping out and tracking each of your 21 days by writing out what you are going to
eat each day and when/what your movement and self care activities will be

To keep you on track, I have provided you with the following:

• What you can eat and recipes

• Ideas and a guide to eating out

• Tips and tricks to help you successfully transition into a new, healthy lifestyle routine

• A calendar for you to map out each of your three weeks

• Workouts you can do at a gym or at home

• Self care ideas

Even though this reset provides you with the tools and information you need to be suc-
cessful, success ultimately depends on you and the commitment you give this reset. But
know this, if you commit you will feel inspired, empowered and transformed after 21
days. You will know how to eat to nourish your best body, you will feel energized from the
movement in your life, and your spirits will be high from the self care you give yourself.
Most importantly, you will be able to take what you have learned these past 21 days and
transform the rest of your life!

5
PLANT-BASED EATING
I want to be clear about one thing; what you eat in these 21 days is not about restriction,
calorie counting, deprivation or following unrealistic rules. The “meal plan” you will be
following in these 21 days will not only be your food guide for these three weeks but will
help to build your relationship with healthy foods for the rest of your life. The foods that
comprise this meal plan will help you look your best while transforming and empowering
you to be your best.

The meal plan you will be following is comprised of plant-based foods. What does plant-
based mean? It doesn’t require you to be vegan, vegetarian or that cannot ever consume
animal protein but following a plant-based diet does mean that you rely mostly on plant
foods, fruits, veggies, leafy greens, whole grains, nuts and seeds. When you’re plant-based,
you focus on eating natural, whole plants and unprocessed foods that are raised and
grown with care. The benefits? Well, what we eat builds our bodies from the inside out.
That’s why food is the easiest and most effective way of bringing about visible changes to
your external appearance while enhancing how you feel and your outlook on life.

My meal plan emphasises that every lunch and dinner plate to be at least ½ vegetables
(aim for more, if you are able). The other ½ can consist of a starch (rice, quinoa, farro,
lentils, chickpeas, potatoes etc.) OR an organic, humanely raised protein. While not a
requirement, I do encourage you to be fully plant-based during this 21-day reset and to
try to forego animal protein. Why? Our body uses A LOT of energy (including our beau-
ty energy) to break down animal products. Animal products take time to digest and break
down. While in our gut they can create toxins and bloat. It is advisable to give your body
a break from this during the reset.

If, however, you are one who feels you benefit from animal protein, I understand and
feel it is important to listen to the needs of your own body. But, try to limit your intake
of animal protein during the reset to no more than 3 times a week and pair your protein
with veggies only - not starches. Mixing starches and proteins is not optimal for digestion.
Once the 21 day reset is over, assess how you are feeling and if you feel like your body
needs animal protein, listen to that! Eat it, make sure it is organic and humanely raised
and pair all protein meals with a plate that is at least ½ filled with veggies!

The more you eat clean, plant based meals, the more you will only want to eat this way.
You will instinctively want to continue following this food routine for eating a predomi-
nantly plant-based diet will change and lessen unhealthy food cravings. I can assure you
this reset will completely change your relationship with food! Plus, your skin will be bright,
your gut healthy, your mind clear and your body energized. Get excited to forever change
your relationship with food and you will reap the benefits.

MOVEMENT

Exercise is SO good for you. It is a major stress reliever, maintains heart health, improves
self confidence, maintains a healthy body composition and releases endorphins. Sweating is
also one of the most underrated detoxifiers. If you have the privilege of being able to move
and exercise your body, you should as having the power to shape and fine-tune our bodies is
an amazing gift. Incorporating exercise into your day-to-day routine will not only add years
onto your life but will empower you as you watch your body become fine-tuned due to your
hard work and dedication.

During this 21 day reset, I require you to ’move’ five to six times a week. Movement could
mean yoga, pilates, cycling, working with a personal trainer, hiking or using some of the
at-home/gym workouts I provide in this reset (see pages 69- 74) , or a combination of all
of these activities. Whatever movement mix works for you, it is important for to know that
movement is as critical to your success in this reset as the food you eat. Exercise should
always be something you do because you love, honor and respect your body, NOT because
you want to punish it. There are countless ways to move, so let’s get started!

7
MOVEMENT
TIPS FOR SUCCESS
1
Schedule it! Make your movement schedule at the beginning of each week, just like you
map out a plan for your meals. At the start of each week, identify, detail and schedule
in exactly what your movement activities will be for each day. For example, plug in the
classes you are going to take and sign up ahead of time so you are committed or plan
and write down your own gym or at-home gym days. Cardio? A band circuit? Write it
down in your weekly calendar. Then commit, show up, work out, and enjoy!

2
Do what you enjoy! Find out what you enjoy doing and what you don’t. Perhaps you
prefer the energy, motivation and instruction that comes with classes for they are a great
way to learn techniques, forms and movement. Or maybe you would rather take a run
outside and do an at - home ab circuit after. If you don’t have the resources for class-
es, remember that you can find great workout routines on pages 69 - 74 of this reset. It
doesn’t matter what workout you do as long as you find something that you enjoy doing
that challenges you and feels good for your body and mind. If you are having fun (or
at least feeling good once you complete your workout,) you will have greater success in
incorporating movement into your everyday life.

3
Make it social! Finding someone who has similar goals and exercise interests as you will
help you keep focused and motivated. Go to classes or a run together and make it some-
thing you do before you have lunch or go to a coffee shop together. This is a great way to
make working out more fun and keep you accountable.

8
SELF CARE
TAKE
CARE
OF
YOUR
SELF

A healthy, clean food and


movement routine is key to
properly nourishing your body
and mind but in order to look
and feel your best we need to also
create a healthy life balance. What
you eat and movement obviously
matters SO much but it’s
important to know that if you
experience chronic stress,
unhappiness, heartbreak or have
a job you hate this will also affect
how you look. Your body radiates
how you feel inside. Your body also
holds onto bloat and weight when
you are stressed or unhappy. There-
fore, you need to incorporate your
thoughts and feelings in order to
achieve your health and wellness
goals.
During this 21 day reset you need to dedicate the time in your day for self-care and
reflection to help you live a life of balance. Maybe you enjoy writing in a journal every-
day to work through your thoughts and feelings. Maybe taking a meditative bath is what
calms you. If you need a social outlet, call someone you love, have dinner with someone
that pushes you outside of your comfort zone or listen to a good podcast. If you need
more suggestions for what to do for self care, I have provided you with some good
self-care ideas on page 21.

Taking 25 minutes to an hour of your day to dedicate time for YOU is so important. To
help you dedicate this time during your 21 day reset, write down and schedule time in
your day for self care. YOU DESERVE IT!

9
12 HOUR BREAK
An important commitment for you to honor during your 21 day reset is to give your body
at least a 12-hour break (more if you can!) from your last meal of the day until your first
meal the following morning. The easiest way I find to do this is to be done eating for
the day by 7pm which allows your body the opportunity to properly digest food before
sleep and the fasting period. This is because it provides your body a chance to reset and
cleanse itself. There are other benefits from giving your body at least a 12-hour food
break, including:

ENHANCED DETOXIFICATION

Your body is constantly trying to detoxify itself 24 hours a day. The body uses a lot of
energy to detoxify, but it also uses a lot of energy to digest food. If your body is not busy
digesting food it can focus its energy on eliminating toxins and healing. Giving your body
time to focus solely on cellular repair through the process of a 12-hour fast can be incred-
ibly beneficial for optimizing detoxification.

REDUCED INFLAMMATION

Fasting “turns on” the NRF2 gene pathway, which not only produces a dramatic increase
in antioxidant protection and enhanced detoxification, but also decreases inflammation.

WEIGHT LOSS/WEIGHT MANAGEMENT

Boosting your resting metabolism helps your body burn more calories throughout the
day, even while you rest. Fasting also increases your levels of adrenaline and noradren-
aline, hormones that help your body free up more stored energy (that’s your body fat)
during a fast.

Yes, there are many health reasons to commit to giving your body a 12-hour food break
plus it puts more focus on eating whole meals and gives you less time to snack - especially
helps you avoid late night snacking. Getting into this routine will take a bit of will power,
but you will be so glad to discover the true meaning of “break-fast” each morning!

10
GOOD MORNING
WHAT IS THE BEST THING TO DRINK FIRST THING IN THE MORNING?

Good morning! You just woke up and have been fasting for a solid twelve hours. You’re a
blank slate and your body has gone through repair mode through detoxification. Your
immune, nervous and digestive systems have been reset and your blood sugar and hor-
mones are rebalanced. You are ready and in an ideal condition to start your day.

So, what’s the first thing that touches your lips to keep this level of optimization going?
My go-to recommendation is to start your day by waking up with a glass of warm lemon
water. The pectin from the lemon aids in digestion, helping to make lemon a phenomenal
detoxifying food. Water with lemon also helps curb your appetite and boosts satiety. Flush-
ing toxins and energizing your digestive tract sounds like a great way to start the day, right?

Treat your body and coat your stomach with warm water with lemon when you wake.
Then enjoy your tea, breakfast and the rest of your day!

11
GOOD RELATIONSHIP WITH YOUR PLATE
It is so important to have a good relationship with food. Do not count calories for calories
‘in’ does not mean calories ‘out’. It is not about the quantity of calories you are eating
but about the quality. Shift your thought process and stop worrying if you are eating too
much, too many calories or too much fat and start asking yourself am I getting enough
nourishment? Food is not the enemy, food is nourishment.

Eating clean, plant-based foods and shifting your mindset can really help you have a dif-
ferent relationship with food. Food is joy, it’s about tasting and experiencing really good
meals and, ultimately, it is about making you feel your best. Having peace with your plate
will change your thought process and any guilt you may have. Having peace with your
plate will also change the outside of your body. Your body knows if you feel stressed and it
most definitely knows if you feel guilty about what you just ate. These are all stressors on
your body which will raise your cortisol which then can cause adrenal fatigue and increase
belly fat. Everything is intertwined and each part of life is so connected. Having a good
relationship with food will change your body and the best way to form a good relationship
with your plate is to eat clean, healthy, whole nourishing foods.

During this 21 day reset, map out your meals for the each day starting with breakfast and
going through dinner. This will help with all of your food prep and planning including
your grocery list and shopping, cooking, and where, when and what you will eat when you
dine out. Most of all, mapping out your meal plan will keep you on track and set you up
for success!

SAUCES, SPICES & FLAVOR
NUTRITIONAL YEAST

Nutritional yeast is an inactive yeast made from glucose. Since it is inactive, it does not
grow like baking yeast, so it cannot be used as leavening. It has a nutty, cheesy flavor and
is often used to emulate cheese in vegan dishes. It’s especially healthy for vegans as it has
so many B vitamins and is fortified with B12. It also tastes amazing. I use it on top of avo-
cado toast, pasta dishes, and veggie dishes.

COCONUT AMINOS

Coconut aminos is a great soy-free swap for tamari in marinades and dipping sauces. The
sauce is made from “sap” (actually coconut-blossom nectar) from coconut palms. The sap
is fermented and then blended with sea salt. It has a salty-sweet taste with a buttery finish.
It is delicious. I use it on so many veggie and grain bowls to give them flavor.

SALSA

A clean organic salsa is a great thing to have on lockdown! You can put salsa on salads,
rice grain and veggie bowls - just about anything! It adds a great flavor. If you buy it in
the store, make sure its organic and clean (no added sugar) or try recipe on page 47

46
SAUCES, SPICES & FLAVOR
The key to keeping simple, fresh, plant-based foods full of flavor is knowing good sauces,
spices and toppings to put into veggie grain bowls, pasta, salad dressings, etc. To help you
add flavor to your meals, here are a few delicious sauce recipes plus a few amazing things
and spices you should always have in your pantry!

SNACKS
THE ART OF SNACKING

Did you know that sometimes if you feel hungry, you’re actually just thirsty? Try drinking
a big glass of water or a cup of tea between meals. I highly recommend focusing on eat-
ing meals and trying to avoid snacking. There is nothing wrong with snacking but I have
provided you with all the tools you will need to eat whole, full nutritious meals. While on
this reset, try to focus on eating meals. However, if you are hungry and need more food
please listen to your body! Here are a bunch of “Your Best Body” approved snacks.

SNACK RECIPIES
RANDOM SNACKS
• Roasted Seaweed Snacks (can be found most every market)

• Avocado on a Rice Cake. Use a plain rice cake, spread ½ an avocado and
finish with juice from a ¼ lemon, salt and pepper

• Chopped Veggies and Hummus dip. Any veggies are fine! I love Cucumber,
Radish and Carrots

• Olives dipped in Hummus

• Mary’s Gone crackers with ½ an Avocado (can be found at Whole Foods


and most every market). Simply dip cracker into avocado

MATCHA ENERGY BARS


1 cup Dates, pitted and quartered
1/2 cup Almonds
1/2 cup Cashews
1/4 cup Hemp Seeds
2 teaspoons pure Vanilla Extract
1 tablespoons Matcha Powder and additional for sprinkling
2 tablespoons Cacao Nibs
¼ cup unsweetened Coconut Flakes

Combine almonds, cashews, hemp seeds, vanilla, and 2 teaspoons of the mat-
cha powder in food processor or vitamix and pulse/blend until well-combined.
Mixture should stick together like a dough when pressed. Add cacao nibs and
pulse just enough for cacao to be dispersed throughout. Line a small baking
dish with parchment paper (so bars are easier to remove later) and add bars
to dish. Use hands or the back of a spoon to press the mixture down until it is
compact and smooth. Sprinkle coconut and additional matcha on top and press
down with back of spoon. Place dish in freezer for 1 hour then remove bars by
pulling out parchment paper. Cut into 8 bars and wrap with parchment paper
if desired. Store in fridge for up to 1 week

50
SNACK RECIPIES
CHILI ROASTED CHICKPEAS
1 can or 15 oz. Cooked Chickpeas
2 Tbsp. Olive Oil
2 tsp. Cumin
2 tsp. Garlic Powder
1 tsp. Chili Powder
Pinch of Sea Salt

Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Toss the chickpeas, spices, and olive oil together
in a bowl until well coated. Spread the chickpeas in an even layer on a baking
sheet and roast until crispy or for about 30 to 40 minutes

KALE CHIPS
1 large bunch Kale
2 teaspoons Olive Oil
1 heaping tablespoon Nutritional Yeast
1 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1/2 teaspoon Paprika
Salt to taste
Cayenne to taste

Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Wash and dry kale. Note: It is crucial to dry ev-
ery bit of water off of the kale. If kale is moist it will steam in the oven and the
chips will turn out soggy. Massage oil, one teaspoon at a time, into every nook
and cranny of the kale. It’s important not to drown the kale in oil and to distrib-
ute the oil evenly. Mix all spices together, then sprinkle over kale. Toss until fully
combined. Spread kale onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Bake for
20-25 minutes, tossing half-way through. When you take the chips out of the
oven, they may still feel slightly soft. Let them cool for 10 minutes and they’ll
crisp up

EATING OUT
While preparing healthy, home-cooked meals should become part of your weekly routine,
eating only at home is not a requirement for this reset. The ultimate goal is to live a healthy
lifestyle that you can sustain so it is important to learn how to eat out when when eating at
home is either not an option or desired. Going out and finding something healthy to eat is
much easier than you think with a little planning, forethought and helpful hints. Here are
some tips and ideas for how you can stick to your eating goals and enjoy your time eating out
without guilt:

BE PREPARED
I encourage you to keep close by a list of the foods you can eat to help you navigate restau-
rant menus. A list of everything you can eat is provided for you in this reset on pages 13 - 19.
.
SIDES
Your best friend while ordering off a menu are the side offerings. The sides on a menu are of-
ten whole, healthy foods and a variety of vegetables, mushrooms, broccoli, spinach, etc. You
could order one side or try ordering a variety of sides and mixing them together. You will
then have a nice variety of foods and your meal will be really fun... promise!

NO BUTTER
Steamed and no butter please! Always ask for the veggies to be steamed instead of sauteed
and always ask for olive oil instead of butter.

ASK YOUR SERVER


Your server is there for you. Do not be afraid to ask your waiter questions about what is in
your dish. Understanding what makes up a dish will enable you to take actions and make
alteration requests so that your meal aligns with your needs.

SIMPLIFY AND CUSTOMIZE


When navigating a menu look for and order the most simple items that resemble what you
want and then modify if need be. Let’s say a salad you want is on the menu but it has cheese
and bacon and comes with heavy dressing. Simply ask your waiter to hold the bacon, cheese
and dressing and add in cucumber and avocado with lemon and olive oil for dressing on the
side

should know is that all of these fears can be overcome with knowledge. Embrace these
tips and tricks and you will discover that nothing can hold you back!

Even if you have been doing things or living life a certain way for a long time doesn’t
mean you can’t begin making changes now. And, it is okay to let things evolve so give
yourself a break and don’t get frustrated if you aren’t there RIGHT now for it doesn’t
mean you won’t get there.

TIP #1
Avoid fruits after the morning. Fruits are not a good idea for dessert because they digest
very quickly and they back-up after a heavy meal. As a result, you could bloat and in the
long-term hold onto extra weight. The exceptions to this are bananas and acai which are
not digested as quickly, so can be combined more easily with other food. With that being
said, fruit is very healthy and should be a part of anyone’s diet. To keep it simple, I sug-
gest eating fruit in the morning, on an empty stomach, and to avoid fruit after the noon
hour. Fruit takes only 20 to 30 minutes to digest so you can enjoy all of the other foods
you love after the morning time.

TIP #2

Map out your week. Decide on Sunday what exactly your week looks like: what meals you
want to make, what groceries you need, when will you be able to get your movement in.
Mapping it out will not only help you grocery shop but will set you up for meal prepping
and ensure you get your daily movement in.

TIP #3
Meal prep. To make your life in the kitchen and grocery store easier, I suggest eating the
same exact meals for three days in a row. First, decide what you want to have for break-
fast, lunch and dinner. Let’s say you are going to do a banana and coconut yogurt for
breakfast, a large detox salad for lunch and a garbanzo bean truffle pasta for dinner. You
then create a grocery list for those meals and get enough groceries to make each of these
meals for three days. You know what you will have for breakfast. You can make a big
batch of salad dressing for the next three days so when lunch comes all you have to do
is put your salad items in a bowl and dress it. For dinner, cook enough noodles for three
nights, saute your mushrooms and throw it all together, keep it in the fridge and reheat it

56
TRICKS & TIPS
the following nights. Why? It helps you from making excuses! You get home from work
and the last thing you want to do is cook; well you have dinner ready in your fridge. This
way of eating really helps keep you on track, saves you time, and reduces your trips to the
grocery store.

TIP #4

Even more food prep. You can even take it to another level. Chop and store all of your
cut up veggies for your salad in multiple containers so you don’t even have to worry about
making your salad every time. Or, try planning out five days of smoothie recipes and put
each smoothie ingredient in ziplock bags so all you have to do for the next five days is
empty the zip lock into the blender. By prepping more foods now, you will thank yourself
later. I cannot say this enough - prepping will keep you on track.

TIP #5

Keep food with you at all times. If you work a nine to five, are in school all day, or have
a full day out of your house, think ahead! Keep your prepped salad with you.Same holds
true for taking a container of homemade oatmeal or cutting up and bringing veggies and
hummus or any other healthy snacks you had at home with you (these, of course, are just
a few ideas/examples.) We often make poor choices when we are over hungry and out
and about with no good restaurant options. It is these times when we make impulsive
decisions. If you have your clean food with you, it will keep you on track and even more
good news....it will also save you money!

TIP #6

Sauces and spices, please! Clean plant based food can be so much more fun and actual-
ly extremely enjoyable to eat with clean sauces and spices. I have provided pages full of
them on pages 46 - 48.

TIP # 7
Don’t stress about calories. The hope is for you to reach a fresh fit goal. Sure, when you
count calories you could reach your desired weight but you risk looking frail and missing
out on getting the nutrients you need. Instead of obsessing over calories, obsess over the
quality of the food. Here is an example: a diet soda has 0 calories while a green juice has
around 80. Which is a better choice? A drink that has 0 calories full of toxins and chemi-
cals or a green juice which is nourishing, filling and will make your gut happy and skin

57
TRICKS & TIPS
glow? Though a diet soda has the number “0”, the chemicals from the soda are not good
for your body and can even cause you to gain weight. This one example is meant to show
that you should focus on what you are eating and to not put your time and energy into
wondering what number it is.

TIP # 8
Watch your beverages. Most drinks people have throughout the day are actually bad for
you and this is where a lot of empty calories, sugar and fat sneaks in. You are at a coffee
shop and order a latte with almond milk. You think you are being healthy by choosing the
almond milk but what you don’t realize is a lot of places (especially poor quality chains)
use poor quality nut milk that has a lot of refined sugar in it. Ask your coffee shop if you
can see the dairy free milk container and check the ingredients to help you navigate! Juice
is another drink to keep an eye on for most store bought juice containers (especially the
ones that do not even need to be refrigerated) have so much sugar in them.

Obviously, not everything you drink is bad for you. Here are a few tips and drinks I sug-
gest that are “your best body” approved: Water (of course!). Hot or iced tea (green tea is
amazing for you.) Fresh, green juice (try to stick mostly with veggies and add in a piece or
two of fruit for sweetener and taste). Kombucha (check the labels and make sure they do
not add cane sugar - GT Kombucha does not use cane sugar and this is a good choice.)
Coconut water (admission...I LOVE coconut water. It is hydrating, very thirst quenching).
Matcha latte with an unsweetened nut milk or coconut milk and a dash of honey (matcha
is my personal favorite.)

As far as coffee goes, keep in mind that you do not need all the sweeteners and flavorings
added to your latte to make it taste good. Unsweetened nut or coconut milk goes a long
way in terms of taste. You could also add in some cinnamon or nutmeg. This spices up
the latte and makes it fun. If you need a sweetner, I recommend honey or stevia.

TIP # 9

Preview the Menu. When eating out, check the menu before you go. This gives you an
idea of what they have and lets you start to think about what you will order. Sometimes
it’s hard to make the right choices under pressure. Keep the list of foods you can eat with
you and remember, get creative!

TIP # 10
Plan your Movement. Schedule your workouts for the week ahead of time just like you

58
TRICKS & TIPS
would your meals. If you are working out on your own put it in your schedule and hold
yourself accountable. If you are signing up for classes, I always sign myself up ahead of
time. Why? Because you usually have a no show fee and if my alarm goes off at 5:30 am
and I don’t feel like waking up, I will because I don’t want to pay a fee. When my trainer
is waiting for me at the gym I can’t not go. And, remember, you never regret a workout
when it’s finished!! Do what it takes to get there.

59
TRICKS & TIPS
SPIRULINA POWDER
Spirulina is one of my favorite tricks & tips. Without fail, every morning after I have this
spirulina in my smoothie I get an incredible burst of energy. Spirulina is one of the richest
plant-based sources of protein and is loaded with essential vitamins and anti-aging effects.
Adding just 1 tbsp a day has me feeling leaner and more energized than ever.

What is spirulina you may be asking? Well, it’s algae powder from tropical lakes. Brace
yourselves, dried spirulina contains about 60 to 70% protein. It’s actually considered one
of the few plant-based sources of “complete protein,” meaning it contains all essential
amino acids your body needs but can’t produce on its own. It’s also a good source of cal-
cium, iron, magnesium, and vitamins A, E, and K. Like other superfoods, spirulina may
strengthen the immune system; help with digestion; balance the body’s pH; reduce in-
flammation; deliver steady energy; cellular, radiation, and free-radical protection; support
healthy joints; and improve exercise recovery time.

I couldn’t recommend enough the importance of adding this powder into your morning
routine and smoothies. Click here to purchase the spirulina powders I use and love!

MOVEMENT
As I have mentioned, during this 21 day reset you are to ’move’ five to six times a week.
Again, movement could mean a great hike, run or any workout class you enjoy (yoga, pi-
lates, cycling, working with a personal trainer, etc.). This reset also gives you options of
workouts you could do at home.

Melissa Wood Health has amazing workouts that are pilates/yoga inspired. You are able
to do them at home, they make you feel good and they provide results. She offers five free
days upon signing up and a subscription service with access to her workouts for only $10 a
month. I HIGHLY recommend this as an option for movement. Click here to be directed
to her website!

I also have provided you with different workout circuits (upper body, lower body, core, full
body and cardio). You are able to find these workouts on the following pages 70 - 74. I
know how looking at a written out workout can feel overwhelming so I am providing you
with a visual. Each circuit has a video demonstration showcasing the workout. They are
living on my IGTV on my instagram and will be there whenever you need them. Click
here to see them!

LASTING RESULTS
The mission and the goal of this reset is to feel inspired, empowered and transformed by
the lifestyle choices you have made during these three weeks. But don’t think of this reset
in terms of 21 days; instead commit yourself to the new lifestyle will you create. Yes, when
the three weeks come to an end you may find it enjoyable to have a drink on the week-
end or enjoy a sweet now and then. Not a problem, because the healthy habits of living
a clean lifestyle that you will develop during these three weeks will carry with you for the
rest of your life!

During this reset I have intended for you to create a healthy base and this base begins
with having healthy habits. Do you know why healthy people tend to stay healthy? It’s
because their habits are healthy. We will become what we do the majority of the time. So
it stands to reason that if you tend to live a clean lifestyle and your habits are healthy you
WILL be healthy. If what you eat the majority of the time is clean plants and you want to
indulge in a slice of cake at a friends party on a Sunday, please do! But remember your
base and get right back to your clean lifestyle after.

It is actually insane what adding more plants into your daily food choices can do to your
mental and physical state. It is also insane that adding in more plant based foods will ac-
tually crowd out the desire to have other, less healthy, foods. Your taste buds change and I
have found I don’t have a lust for the foods I once ate.

Thank you for having me on your journey! You are killing it! #STRONGISSEXY
