21 Day Purification: Day 21

It's your last day!  You should feel a huge sense of accomplishment and achievement as you have just made it through the emotional, psychological and physical highs and lows that come with the 21 Day Purification.  If you took a picture before you started the cleanse, make sure to take one again today to see what changes your body has made.  
Many people wonder, "Now what?"  The purpose of the cleanse is not only to detoxify the body, but also to teach you good, solid eating habits.  When you do something for 21 days, it then becomes a habit.  Hopefully you will carry with you many of the positive eating habits that you have learned throughout the Purification.  
There is also what is called the Post Purification Program  This program will help guide you as you reintroduce food groups back into your diet that were absent during the cleanse.  You will learn what works for you and what doesn't work for you, depending on your body's reaction and how you feel before and after eating those foods.  The Post Purification Program also includes a booklet with recipes ideas, a grocery list, and 30 days worth of food journaling to help keep you on track.  Dr. Jamie will talk with you to customize your Post Purification Program. 
Some of the food groups that you may want to reintroduce include: dairy (raw if possible!), grains, shellfish and eggs.  Processed, refined foods should not be a part of your diet.  Always strive to eat fresh, REAL food-in other words, food that rots!
Good luck as you continue your path of WELLNESS!
