Shopping List
YOU WILL NEED:
Before and after photos and measurement - please take the photo and measurements before going to bed on Friday night and then again on the morning of day 15.
Scales – preferably the bioelectrical impedance variety so you can also monitor body fat and hydration changes daily.
Soft tape measure – The National Heart Foundation of Australia now uses waist circumference over body mass index as a risk factor determinant for heart disease. Use your navel as the landmark to ensure consistency in the measurement. Ideal ranges are: Men less than 94cm Women less than 80cm
Journal - recording your measurements, thoughts and feelings throughout the cleanse is an excellent idea. The cleanse works on a mind, body and spirit level and is designed to make you acutely aware of the relationship you have with food, yourself and others.
Water - drink lots of water 2-3 liters and preferably filtered, to help flush out toxins
Drinking bottles – Stainless steal bottle is preferable over plastic. Most people find preparing sufficient juice in the morning for the whole day works best. After having a glass or two in the morning, we found sipping juice from the bottle throughout the day worked well. Stainless steel will keep the juice fresh longest and hides the contents from prying eyes. We use Eco Tank bottles from our local health food shop.
Drinking straws - it is best to drink juice through a straw. This helps to slow down the rate to consumption and increases the exposure time of the juice to the salivary enzymes allowing for faster assimilation into your body. Holding the juice in your mouth for a few moments and “chew it” before swallowing will further enhance the action of the enzymes in your mouth.
Himalayan Rock Salt - found at health food shops. 2-3 little rocks every hour or so, either dissolved in water or placed directly into tongue. Some of the benefits of Himalayan Salt include:
- supplies the body with the combined energy of 84 essential ionized minerals which the body can hold for up to 24 hours.
- harmonizes the alkaline/acidity balance in the body and assists in normalizing blood pressure.
- dissolve and eliminate sediments associated with kidney stones, gall stones and various forms of rheumatism arthritis.
- helps reduce craving for addictive desires.
- helps with skin diseases by cleaning from inside out.

Apple cider vinegar - always wash your fruit and vegetables. Non organic produce can soaked for up to 5 minutes in the sink with approximately 1 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar for every 2 litres of water. This helps to remove waxes, chemicals, herbicide and pesticides.
