21 Day Clean Cleanse

We are all looking for positive changes in the new year to come. Whether it is focusing on our health, losing weight, or spending more time in the gym, the start to a new year is a wonderful time for change.

Beginning on January 6th, Alyssa and I will be diving into a 21 day Clean Cleanse to repair our digestive systems, rid our body of built up toxins and lose some extra lbs 🙂  Below is our Clean Cleanse Grocery List. We find most of our followers are also followers of the Clean Program. However, if you are not familiar with the program, we highly suggest you read the book Clean by Dr. Junger prior to the cleanse. This will help you understand the purpose of the cleanse, changes you can expect for your health and your body,  and how to properly participate in the program.

We will be posting Clean Cleanse recipes, lifestyle tips and a look into our personal meal plans. The nice thing is it’s only 21 days! No one is saying you can never eat a wedge of brie cheese again, you just can’t eat it for three weeks 🙂 It’s totally doable and you will feel absolutely amazing!

So join us! Start off 2014 with a healthier and happier you. Feel free to send us a comment or an e-mail with any questions.
