Disclaimer:
As with any change in diet, we recommend that you consult your doctor before
beginning the cleanse and detox. If you are allergic to any ingredients DO NOT
include them in your detox, instead please use an alternative.
Also, there are plenty of pre-made juice cleanses you can order locally or online,
if you wish to do so instead of following this 3 Day Juice Cleanse & Detox that’s
perfectly ok. Do what works best for your own schedule and convenience.

GUIDELINES
WRITE OUT WHAT MEALS AND SNACKS
01 YOU’RE GOING TO HAVE FOR 7 DAYS.
A lot of people tend to pick a few meals they like and
then repeat them (ground chicken, salmon, shrimp,
beyond meat, asparagus, etc) it’s the easiest way to bulk
cook plus you’ll know you’ll enjoy them which is key to
you being consistent. Having a different meal in your
meal plan every day means you’ll be cooking 5 or 6
things at the same time which is time consuming and
stressful.
02 GO SHOPPING
Bring the “Grocery List” given in this program with you
to the store and be meticulous. Of course you need
some type of tupper-ware for your snacks and main
meals, bear in mind storage and costs. (Amazon has
plenty of meal prep containers that are low price and
great quality). Many of the days you’re cooking for you
need to be able to store the food in portions or in bulk.
Just think about everything you need and how you will
store it. You can even go as far as prepping and freezing
your morning smoothies ingredients minus the protein
powder and liquids (save that for when you’re ready to
blend)

In this next section you will be given plenty of
essential nutritional information that will help
create healthy nutritious meals full of goodness.
The idea isn’t to “go on a diet” in the typical use
of that word, but to offer you a different
approach to meals and how you may currently
view food.
With the information in this section, your
refrigerator and groceries shopping list will
definitely receive an upgrade.

SAMPLE MEAL PLAN NUTRITION
Sample meal plans for the day included, feel free to modify as needed to fit your own dietary
options. These are only examples, eat whatever food you like from the “recommended protein,
carbs & veggies” options. Try to stick to the guidelines that have been laid out for you if you
want to create quick and fast results.
If you’re still hungry… add another protein meal w/ veggies, eat more healthy snacks like raw
almonds or other mixed nuts, another low carb/no carb protein shake (do not starve yourself).
It’s always better to eat “more healthy” options if your body is calling for more. Always listen to
your body, but do so in moderation.
A palm size serving of most meat has about 25 grams of protein, but check food labels
whenever possible. *A fist sized portions of rice/potatoes has about 40g Carbs

STRETCHING
DETOX PRE/POST
STRETCH GUIDE
Standing Hamstring Stretch
Stand tall with your feet hip-width apart,
knees slightly bent, arms by your sides.
Exhale as you bend forward at the hips,
lowering your head toward floor, while
keeping your head, neck and shoulders
relaxed.
Wrap your arms around backs of your legs
and hold anywhere from 45 seconds to two
minutes.
Bend youR knees and roll up when you're
done.
52
STRETCHING
Piriformis Stretch
The piriformis muscle is a deep internal hip rotator,
located on the outside of the butt. Its primary role is
external rotation. Deep internal rotators, while
small, produce a lot of the movement at the hip
and are often overlooked. Since the piriformis
crosses over the sciatic nerve, if it’s tight, it can
result in sciatic nerve irritation. Stretching this
muscle can prevent potential future sciatica, or
help treat it.
Triceps Stretch
Kneel, sit, or stand tall with feet hip-
width apart, arms extended overhead.
Bend your right elbow and reach your
right hand to touch the top middle of
your back.
Reach your left hand overhead and
grasp just below your right elbow.
Gently pull your right elbow down and
toward your head.
Switch arms and repeat.
54
STRETCHING
90/90 Stretch
This modification of pigeon pose helps with
internal rotation of one leg and external rotation of
the other, so technically you're hitting both
movements of the hip at once. It's a good option
for people who have extremely tight hip flexors.
The front thigh is safely on the ground in a position
that doesn't cause too much stress.
Butterfly Stretch
Sit tall on the floor with the soles of your
feet together, knees bent out to sides.
Hold onto your ankles or feet, engage your
abs, and slowly lower your body toward
your feet as far as you can while pressing
your knees toward the floor.
If you're too tight to bend over, simply press
your knees down.
Hold this stretch for 30 seconds to 2
minutes.
Stretches hips, glutes, back, thighs
55
STRETCHING
Prone Press
Lie on your stomach, put your forehead on
the floor, and place your hand in line with
your shoulder with your elbow bent and
your forearms on the floor.
Slowly, press up, and push your front torso
off the ground, causing your lower back to
arch backward.
Keep your lower back arched for 30
seconds before bringing your forehead
back to the ground again.
Focus on your technique throughout the
stretch and repeat it three to five times.

MINDFULNESS
DAILY MINDFULNESS
PRACTICES
What is mindfulness?
Mindfulness is a type of meditation in which you focus on being intensely
aware of what you're sensing and feeling in the moment, without
interpretation or judgment. Practicing mindfulness involves breathing
methods, guided imagery, and other practices to relax the body and mind
and help reduce stress.
Meditation can help you experience thoughts and emotions with greater balance
and acceptance. Meditation also has been shown to:
Improve attention
Decrease job burnout
Improve sleep
Improve diabetes control
Incorporating mindfulness exercises while detoxing will help you get optimal
results during this challenge; because you will not only detoxify your body, but your
mind as well! Each day has been assigned a mindfulness exercise and journal entry.
Studies show that journaling is one of the most effective ways to practice
mindfulness because it helps you explore who you are on a deeper level and better
sort out our thoughts and emotions. Remember, the goal is to get our minds right,
so that our bodies will follow.
Dedicating 10-30 minutes each day to your mindful exercises and journaling is
sufficient.

AN ASPIRATION.
Decide on an aspiration. Just ask yourself this question: What is my heart’s aspiration?
Pause for about 20 seconds. Do this a second or third time and write down what comes.

DAY 6
MINDFUL BREATHING
This exercise can be done standing up or sitting down, and pretty much anywhere at
any time. If you can sit down in the meditation (lotus) position, that's great, if not, no
worries.
Either way, all you have to do is be still and focus on your breath for just one minute.
1. Start by breathing in and out slowly. One breath cycle should last for approximately 6
seconds.
2. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth, letting your breath flow
effortlessly in and out of your body.
3. Let go of your thoughts. Let go of things you have to do later today or pending
projects that need your attention. Simply let thoughts rise and fall of their own
accord and be at one with your breath.
4. Purposefully watch your breath, focusing your sense of awareness on its pathway as
it enters your body and fills you with life.
5. Then watch with your awareness as it works its way up and out of your mouth and its
energy dissipates into the world.
If you are someone who thought they’d never be able to meditate, guess what? You are
halfway there already!
Think of a time when you felt really proud of yourself/your body. What was happening?

MINDFUL
OBSERVATION
This exercise is simple but incredibly powerful because it helps you notice and appreciate
seemingly simple elements of your environment in a more profound way.
The exercise is designed to connect us with the beauty of the natural environment, something
that is easily missed when we are rushing around in the car or hopping on and off trains on the
way to work.
1. Choose a natural object from within your immediate environment and focus on watching it
for a minute or two. This could be a flower or an insect, or even the clouds or the moon.
2. Don’t do anything except notice the thing you are looking at. Simply relax into watching for as
long as your concentration allows.
3. Look at this object as if you are seeing it for the first time.
4. Visually explore every aspect of its formation and allow yourself to be consumed by its
presence.
5. Allow yourself to connect with its energy and its purpose within the natural world.
Journal Entry: Make a body timeline. Write down a timeline of all the things your body has been

MINDFUL
AWARENESS
This exercise is designed to cultivate a heightened awareness and appreciation of simple
daily tasks and the results they achieve. Think of something that happens every day
more than once; something you take for granted, like opening a door, for example. At
the very moment you touch the doorknob to open the door, stop for a moment and be
mindful of where you are, how you feel in that moment and where the door will lead
you.
Similarly, the moment you open your computer to start work, take a moment to
appreciate the hands that enable this process and the brain that facilitates your
understanding of how to use the computer. These ‘touch point' cues don’t have to be
physical ones. For example: Each time you think a negative thought, you might choose
to take a moment to stop, label the thought as unhelpful and release the negativity.
Or, perhaps each time you smell food, you take a moment to stop and appreciate how
lucky you are to have good food to eat and share with your family and friends.
Choose a touch point that resonates with you today and, instead of going through your
daily motions on autopilot, take occasional moments to stop and cultivate purposeful
awareness of what you are doing and the blessings these actions bring to your life.

MINDFUL LISTENING
This exercise is designed to open your ears to sound in a non-judgmental way, and
indeed to train your mind to be less swayed by the influence of past experiences and
preconception. So much of what we “feel” is influenced by past experience. For example,
we may dislike a song because it reminds us of a breakup or another period of life when
things felt negative. So, the idea of this exercise is to listen to some music from a neutral
standpoint, with a present awareness that is unhindered by preconception.
Select a piece of music you have never heard before. You may have something in your
own collection that you have never listened to, or you might choose to turn the radio
dial until something catches your ear.
The idea is to listen intently, to become fully entwined with the composition without
preconception or judgment of the genre, artist, lyrics or instrumentation. Don't think,
hear.
Journal Entry: Imagine what your life is like when you’ve made peace with your body.
Write down how you feel, how you spend your time, how you talk to yourself, how you
feed and move your body. Write in the present tense like it’s already happened.

MINDFUL
IMMERSION
The intention of this exercise is to cultivate contentment in the moment and escape the
persistent striving we find ourselves caught up in on a daily basis. Rather than anxiously wanting
to finish an everyday routine task in order to get on with doing something else, take that regular
routine and fully experience it like never before. For example: if you are cleaning your house, pay
attention to every detail of the activity. Rather than treat this as a regular chore, create an entirely
new experience by noticing every aspect of your actions.
Feel and become the motion when sweeping the floor, sense the muscles you use when
scrubbing the dishes, develop a more efficient way of wiping the windows clean.
The idea is to get creative and discover new experiences within a familiar routine task.
Instead of laboring through and constantly thinking about finishing the task, become aware of
every step and fully immerse yourself in the progress. Take the activity beyond a routine by
aligning yourself with it physically, mentally and spiritually.
Who knows, you might even enjoy the cleaning for once!
Journal Entry: List 50 things you like about yourself. This is going to be challenging. Even if you
don’t make it to 50, I challenge you to list as many things as you possibly can that you like, love or
are proud of about yourself. Don’t hold anything back.

APPERCIATION

DAY 11
MINDFUL APPRECIATION
In this exercise, all you have to do is notice 5 things in your day that usually go
unappreciated.
These things can be objects or people; it’s up to you. Use a notepad to check off 5 by the
end of the day.
The point of this exercise is to simply give thanks and appreciate the seemingly
insignificant things in life, the things that support our existence but rarely get a second
thought amidst our desire for bigger and better things.
For example: electricity powers your kettle, the postman delivers your mail, your clothes
provide you warmth, your nose lets you smell the flowers in the park, your ears let you
hear the birds in the tree by the bus stop, but…
Do you know how these things/processes came to exist, or how they really work?
Have you ever properly acknowledged how these things benefit your life and the
lives of others?
Have you ever thought about what life might be like without these things?
Have you ever stopped to notice their finer, more intricate details?
Have you ever sat down and thought about the relationships between these things
and how together they play an interconnected role in the functioning of the earth?
Once you have identified your 5 things, make it your duty to find out everything you can
about their creation and purpose to truly appreciate the way in which they support your
life.
Journal Entry: After completing today's mindfulness exercise, journal about the 5 things
you felt usually go unappreciated. Answer the questions that were presented above in
the exercise.

MINDFUL RUNNING
WORKOUT
It's easy to zone out on a run, especially if you're on the treadmill. Instead, set a timer to go off
every 90 seconds so you can stay engaged as you run. Below you will find outlines of things to
consider to help you have a more mindful workout, but they can apply to any part of your run.
The great thing here is that you can apply this to any length or style of running workout.
First 90 Seconds
First, bring your attention to your breath. Notice the way it feels as it enters your nose, fills your
lungs and how your body feels as you exhale out. Notice your rhythm and cadence.
Second 90 Seconds
Notice the way your feet strike the ground and how your body feels. Notice the sensations and
which muscles are working the most. Notice the rhythm of your feet and the cadence of your
stride. Notice your thoughts.
Third 90 Seconds
Bring your attention to your core: Are you activating your abs, obliques and lower back? Are
you running with good posture or are you slumped forward?
Repeat as necessary until you finish your workout, ending by slowing your pace down more
and more, until you come to a stop. Notice your breathing and thoughts; any negativity should
be set aside as you refocus on your form and breathing.
Make sure you take time to indulge in your post-workout high, too! Check in with your body to
see how you feel. If you've completed your workout mindfully, you may be feeling calm yet
pumped with determination. That’s one of the benefits of this kind of workout.

MIND-MUSCLE
CONNECTION
The idea behind the mind-muscle connection is simple: If you consciously and
deliberately place your attention on the contraction of the primary muscle you are
working, the quality of the contraction is enhanced. In other words, the more your mind
is focused on the muscle contracting, the greater your gains will be.
Studies have shown that placing mental attention on your muscles as they're
contracting literally causes a higher percentage of the muscle fibers that you're aiming
to use for the movement to 'activate.'
78
DAY 13
MINDFUL MUSCLE
CONNECTION CONT.
Acetylcholine is the neurotransmitter that stimulates your muscles to move.
The more active mental attention you bring to the muscle that's being contracted, the
more acetylcholine that's produced, leading to an enhanced quality in the contraction.
During today’s workout, use these four words to guide every rep:
1.Fast
2. Hold
3. Slow
4. Repeat
Using this slow, resistance-based approach to each rep allows you to keep your mental
attention on how your muscle is moving, whether the muscle fibers are stretching, and
contracting the chest throughout each part of the movement.
The same approach can be used for each individual exercise, regardless of muscle. Hold
and squeeze at the climax, slow on the resistance, and mentally focus on (or even talk to)
the muscle group you are working to take your training to the next level.
Journal Entry: Let's escape! If you could choose any place or scenario (real or imaginary)
to place yourself in right now for your comfort and relaxation, where would it be?
Describe it in as much detail as possible.

YOUR BRAIN
One final exercise: Go back through your two week detox journal and write down positive
influences, great conversations, and celebrated wins. Remember those fun moments with
friends. Recall that well-done work assignment. Scrub your brain with the good and positive. Help
your mind become more aware of the wonderful things about life and overwrite those things
that don’t deserve your attention.
Once you finish the 15-day mental detox, let a few of your favorite exercises become a habit. Make
them a part of your daily routine, and eventually you won't even realize you are doing them.
