Pre-Cleanse Homework
Lesson 3: Find Your Detox Rhythm
Lifestyle
- Listen to the evening visualization before bed
- Sit down and make a plan for next week, mark your calendar and have fun planning
Food & Beverage
- Eat well, eat freely! Focus on vegetables, fruits, nuts, seeds, and fresh animal proteins
- Avoid wheat, milk, sugar, and processed foods
- Hydrate well! Avoid all beverages other than water and decaf tea
Breathing & Movement
- Challenge yourself with daily yoga, fitness or any other movement practice you love—just 20 minutes is great!
Planning & Shopping
- Do you have flax and/or chia seeds? If not, buy some
- Do you have coconut oil or MCT oil? If not, get some!
- Is your refrigerator packed with fresh veggies and some fruits?
- Have you made a big pot of “detox broth” for next week?
- Do you have some nice decaf teas ready for next week?
- Fresh lemon and spices for your juices?
hi just wondering if the probiotic drinks we are allowed during detox includes yokult
Hi Jennifer,
This is the link to the 2013 program – please access the 2014 program – here is the link:

Probiotic tablets are recommended for during the detox and ongoing. Yokult is not recommended during the cleanse as it is dairy based.
Kind regards

Hi,
I am wondering if the use of my hot tub is Ok during the detox week? I shower afterwards to get any chlorine that is on my skin off but was wondering about the benefits of relaxation and being warm compared to the chemicals one is exposed to by being in a hot tub?
Thanks,
Ken
@Ken – yes, great! Hot baths, hot tubs, all great. In an ideal world, it would be non-chlorine, but we just have to do our best and the benefits outweigh the drawbacks. Thanks!
Why haven’t I had answers to my questions
Hi Susan – I’m only seeing this here, but don’t see other questions. Is it perhaps on another page? Let us know how we can help…
I am experiencing pain in my leg muscles after the pre detox. Am I missing something nutritiously? I have tried walking to alleviate the pain and it helps somewhat while I am walking but as soon as I stop it comes back.
Hi Linda – that is certainly troubling! It is not uncommon to feel achy, as you might if you had a fever, but in all cases, for sure listen to you body and be careful. Are you staying well hydrated?
Can we use extracts? Almond, chocolate etc…..
@Sheryl – a little stevia extract in a very bitter juice is ok, but I’d avoid the others during the cleanse… though certainly not a big issue.
Can you put soaked chia seeds in your broth?
@Sheryl – Chia seeds don’t like to be heated, the essential fats are not stable with heat, so I would not recommend that. Ideally with lemon/water or even a juice that is a better choice.
I cannot access the visualization page. It tells me I do not have access.

@Michelle – are you trying this link? https://members.thegabrielmethod.com/detox-program/visualizations/
The idea of decaf tea with oil does not appeal to me at all. Can I just leave it out?
You can leave anything out you like.
I’m having trouble downloading visualizations to put on MP3 player. Can you help please?
I’m having the same problem.
Hi Dianne, please email help@thegabrielmethod.com and they will be able to assist you. Kind regards, Sherri, GM Team
Do we need protein?
Hi Sharon,
Protein is very important for the body. You can get enough during the Pre-cleanse and many leafy greens have a lot of protein as well which you will be juicing.
I hope this helps!

So we don’t use whey protein during the detox?
Hi Margaret,
Its best not to use Whey protein during the cleanse. It may seem that you are having no or very little protein, but for the short duration of the cleanse, your body will have enough reserves.
