Two weeks until March 1st...
That is plenty of time to make changes that can produce great results!
A program like this if followed daily should produce any number of things. The list below includes emotional, mental, and physical things one might experience:
Option 1:
Get VERY seriously on the LEAP foods. Stick to them each day in earnest. ( See January 29th post for details.)
Option 2:
Do all of Option 1 but completely eliminate all refined foods, sugar, bread, pasta and dairy products. A little whole grain - quinoa, brown rice, is fine.
A sample days menu might be:
Option 3:
Follow Option 2 but eliminate all whole grains. In other words eat all LEAP foods and only LEAP foods.
Option 4:
Follow Option 3 but add in 2 days of only raw fruits and vegetables - no beans, nuts or cooked foods.
All of the options above can be practiced for the entire 2 week period or for less time. You may choose to do one for one week and another for 5 days or so.

Often on a program like this we don't see results because our choices are still reflect the (SAD) - Standard American Diet. For example, heavy salad dressings, lots of cheese, breads, meats, or sugary foods will mask the benefits of the nutrient rich foods on the LEAP. Cut them out as much as possible for quick, remarkable results.

Many of you have spoken about weight loss. Contact me for more personalized guidance if that is something you would like to do. We have 2 weeks and several options. They all involve the LEAP basics. The 5 food categories form your foundation.
Option 1:
Get VERY seriously on the LEAP foods. Stick to them each day in earnest. ( See January 29th post for details.)
Do all of Option 1 but completely eliminate all refined foods, sugar, bread, pasta and dairy products. A little whole grain - quinoa, brown rice, is fine.
A sample days menu might be:
- Smoothie or fruit salad for breakfast
- Fruit and nuts as a mid-morning snack
- Large salad with beans for lunch
- Green vegetable with hummus as a snack, or green smoothie (no dairy) for a snack
- Large salad, green veggie or 2, rice and beans, or other veggie - yam, potato, soup, or veggie omelet for dinner
- Fruit or nuts after dinner
- Lots of water, herbal teas to drink
Follow Option 2 but eliminate all whole grains. In other words eat all LEAP foods and only LEAP foods.
Option 4:
Follow Option 3 but add in 2 days of only raw fruits and vegetables - no beans, nuts or cooked foods.
None of these are harmful to your health. If you choose Option 4 let me walk you through the 2 day vegetable-and-fruit-only days carefully. You will be fine. Some of you may choose to do these days even as a fast - just drinking liquids
