It's a documentary about an Australian guy who, because of his excessive lifestyle, has become fat, has a disease called chronic urticaria (hives), and takes several medications for his disease. His plan is to drink only fruit and vegetable juice for 60 days. As he does this, he travels across the U.S. talking to people about what he's doing.
On his website www.rebootwithjoe.com he has several different plan lengths you can choose from (3, 5, 10, or 15 days). I've chosen his 15 day plan. You can view the .pdf for this plan at: http://www.rebootwithjoe.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/06/rbwj_15dayplan-FULLR_2.pdf
Today was my first day and I took photos of each thing I ate so you can get an idea of what the first day of this plan looks like.
Right when you wake up, you'll drink hot water with lemon and fresh ginger root.
(I also took my usual spoonful of cod liver oil plus a multivitamin, milk thistle, CoQ10, and 5HTP)
Breakfast is "Berry Apple Cinnamon Bake" which is berries, apples, raisins, cinnamon, nutmeg, & coconut oil baked for 45 minutes. I usually have one egg scrambled w/broccoli, zucchini, tomato, mushrooms, & feta cheese for breakfast, so this was a struggle. I wanted my egg!
Morning snack is "Carrot Apple Ginger" juice. This is delicious!
Lunch is "Reboot Green Salad" which is leafy greens, 4 vegetables of your choice, olive oil, vinegar, & salt & pepper. You get a side of "Carrot & Sweet Potato Fries". This meal was very good. Mmm
Afternoon snack is another 8 oz of the Carrot apple Ginger juice.
Dinner is "Kale Avocado Salad w/Vinaigrette" which is kale, red cabbage, tomato, avocado, olive oil, balsamic vinegar, honey, basil, garlic, salt & pepper. I think this one had too much garlic.
You also get a side of the same fries from lunch and "Sauteed Greens w/Garlic" which is collards, kale, or chard sauteed with garlic, oil, salt & pepper. This tasted good too, but mouth was very garlicky afterwards.
Before bed you can have herbal tea. I always have a cup of Dandelion Root tea before bed so that's what I had.
