    As you prepare to begin your cleanse, you'll want to ensure you stay healthy throughout the process. When done right, a cleanse can restore your body and have you feeling healthier in a matter of days. While some cleanses leave you feeling sluggish, deprived, or unmotivated, my cleanse and reset builds you back up and energizes you. In just five days, you’ll experience a rapid reset that will leave you rejuvenated. So how do you prepare your body and mind, so you stay healthy during your cleanse?

    Hydrate! Hydrate! Hydrate!

    Start hydrating a couple of days before you even start your rapid reset. This will help prepare your body for the cleanse (although you should be hydrating daily anyway). Be sure to get in at least eight cups of water every day. 

    Rest and Repair

    Getting a good night’s sleep is critical to maintaining your physical and mental health. Keep in mind that some of you will be drastically reducing the usual amount of carbs, proteins, and sugars your body is used to eating. It could be a bit of a bumpy ride at first, so treat your body and mind right and get your rest.  If possible, get seven to eight hours of sleep each night. 

    Eat Consistently

    Try to plan your meals or snacks, so they are spread out evenly and consistently throughout your day. A general rule of thumb is every three to four hours. On my cleanse and reset plan, you'll be getting more than enough nutrients for your body to feel energized as well as satisfied all day. However, there are cleanses that will leave you with little energy and often hungry. Spacing out your meals consistently can keep you energized and curb some of your hunger and cravings throughout the day.

    Fill Up On “Yes” Foods

    There are many choices of fresh, whole foods to choose from while you cleanse and reset. My rapid reset provides you with tasty recipes and a list of “yes” foods; many of which are found under the unlimited servings category. Fill up! Packed with the vitamins and nutrients your body needs, these nutritious “yes” foods will keep you healthy and satisfied. Although you'll be cutting back on carbs and protein, you'll still be taking in enough to promote a healthy and safe cleanse.

    Stop the Sugar Demon

    You know that feeling you get when you crave something sweet? I mean have-to-have-it-now, kind of crave. When you’re so used to filling your body with sugar, then go without for a bit? I often refer to that as the sugar demon. You’ll be cutting out almost all sugar for your cleanse, and it may not be pretty. If this is you, prepare for a challenge, but know that you can do this! Sugar leads to inflammation, and you know where that will get you; prone to pain, illness, and disease. So, do your body a favor and cut out the added sugar. Besides, you may find you can do without a lot of the sweet stuff after you’re through. 

    Following these quick tips will help keep your body strong and nourished during your cleanse. Give me five days to help you reset your body and mind. Start your transformation today.
