Can you believe you’ve finished 6 days!? Are you sad or RELIEVED that tomorrow is the last day? 🙂
Delish & Healthy-ish With Jen Reilly, RD 
I am so excited to have completed Day 6! Now for Day 7! I’m ready for this, as for Day 8… I plan to keep it up! I FEEL FABULOUS!
Awesome news, Mary! Isn’t it amazing how powerful food is?! Make sure you’re getting your supplemental Vitamin B12 & Vitamin D, but other than that, the Detox plan can be your constant and long-term deal! Congrats! 🙂 XOXO Jen
Ack! My boyfriend and I are on Day 6 (loving the Detox by the way) but all of the recipes you’ve linked to suddenly went away. I get an “error, file not found” message from Trader Joe’s whenever I click them (they worked this morning). I have a copy of Skinny Dish coming in the mail, but I was going to use recipes for dinner tonight.
Any idea what happened?
Still happening, Holly? If so, give me your email and I’ll email recipes to you! Sorry! xoxo Jen
It seems to have sorted itself out. My copy of Skinny Dish also came (love it!). We finished the Detox and loved it so much we’re going to follow the general guidelines 5-days-a-week in perpetuity! Thank you so much.
Great news, Holly! That sounds like a tremendous long-term health plan. Congrats! xoxo Jen
Hi! I noticed on your link there is no nutrition info for the Mango Lassi. I’m wondering if there is a way to get that? I am a member of Weight Watchers and I have to track my points! Thanks!!
Not sure why it’s not there! Per 1-cup (8 oz) Mango Lassi: 113 calories, 1.5 g total fat, 0 g saturated fat, 0 mg cholesterol, 100 mg sodium, 21.5 g carbohydrates, 2 g fiber, 15.5 g sugar, 1.5 g protein, 23.5% vitamin A, 28.5% vitamin C, 13.5% calcium, 5.5% iron – 🙂 Jen
hi jen!
i was wondering your thoughts on corn? i see it is in a lot of the meals but i have never heard that corn is healthy or detoxing. it is almost impossible to know even if the organic stuff is truly organic. this is my second time doing the detox and i do love it! i just omit any corn products. still am curious why you have chosen to incorporate corn! thanks! -alison
Hey Alison, Great question! Organic corn is pretty benign, and it doesn’t have the inflammatory effects of gluten. You’re right, it’s not perfect by any means, but it helps people get through my detox. If you can do it w/o corn, more power to you!! XOXO -Jen
Awesome! Thank you so much!
Hi Jen!
Thanks so much for sharing this wonderful plan. Just a quick question on Day 6. I thought going dairy-free wa sthe way to go for this detox diet. Is yogurt okay for the mango lassi?
-Anu
Hey Anu! The mango lassi in the detox is yogurt-free and dairy-free. It’s still delicious, I promise! 🙂 XOXO
Lol! Really? Let me know how to make it without yogurt. The recipe to the link says the following ingredients. Clearly I’m missing something 🙂
1 cup frozen Trader Joe’s Mango Chunks
1 cup plain or vanilla yogurt (low-fat or fat-free is ok)
1/4 cup orange juice
1 tsp Organic Agave Nectar
1 Tbsp Organic Flaxseed Oil (optional but recommended)
And of course I’m just now seeing your note with the ingredient list. Sorry for the confusion!
Anu! I just realized that the mango lassi link was wrong! I literally woke up in the middle of the night last night thinking “oh my gosh, i wonder if people are asking about yogurt because it’s the wrong lassi link from the TJ’s site?!” I fixed it above, but here is the one you need: http://cooktj.com/trader-joes-recipes/mango-lassi-0
I am breast feeding and I also work at night until midnight . Should I add another meal when I work nights?
I imagine you’re hungrier than the average person, so I would listen to your body and eat another healthy meal. Breastfeeding burns 500 calories a day! xoxo Jen
I am on the 6th day and still feel quite bloated. Is that normal?
Could be all the extra fiber and beans? Did it resolve itself?
Is there anything I can substitute for the tomatoes in the Garden growers special? I’m not a fan of tomatoes!
Thanks
Use any veggie! Which you’ve probably already done by now…. I like a pepper/cucumber combo too. 🙂
I love this detox and return to it frequently for inspiration and rebalancing. Thank you for sharing it. I notice the link for the greens is no longer active. Is it available elsewhere?
Is there something I can substitute for the cucumber in the garden growers?
Green peppers? Celery? Pick your favorite raw veggie and go for it!
Dear Jen, I am now on day 6 and I just wanted to write a few lines and thank you for this wonderful website. I am so happy I found it cause it has really helped me through this detox! The first two days were terrible, I had head ache and was totally out of energy, but already on day 3 things started to change and now I feel like a brand new person. The recepies are amazing and I will definitely continue eating according to this (but add some coffee and some more carbs once in a while :)) But THANKS for doing this, I will recommend it to everyone who wants to do a detox!
Great! So glad it’s working for you! xo – Jen
