Meal Plans 

I have decided that it's just too much to figure out what I'm going to eat for 10 days during my cleanse. So instead I am taking it in 5-day chunks.

The Herbal Cleanse I bought (see past posts for link) includes 5 Fiber Drink Mixes, Herbal Supplements and Probiotic Supplements. They give you a schedule for when to consume what and I included them in my meal plans below.

For the cleanse, I am NOT supposed to eat any sugar, fried or processed food. I am also supposed to eat 10 servings of fruits/vegetables and drink 8 glasses of water a day. {1 serving of fruit constitutes about a 1/2 cup and 1 serving of vegetables is 1/2 cup cooked or 1 cup raw}

It also says that you should not consume "white" carbs. So Whole Grain rice, bread, pasta, etc. is OK to eat.

I will not be cooking anything with butter or olive oil and will be staying away from artificial sugars ( bye-bye crystal light )

Here is my grocery list for the first 5 days {keep in mind I am buying for 2 people since Jon is doing it with me. That is why it seems like I spent a lot of money on groceries!}

[I already had Chicken, Protein Powder, Shredded Cheese, Tilapia, Whole Grain Bread, Whole Grain Rice, Whole Grain Pasta and Tomato Sauce so they are not included in the grocery list]

Produce:

Light Orange Juice (to mix with my fiber drink) I got Tropicana Trop50

Lettuce (for salads)

Lettuce Head

2 Whole Tomatoes

Cherry Tomatoes

2 Cucumbers

Grapes, Bananas, Watermelon, Cantaloupe

Asparagus

Zucchini 

Bell Peppers

Mushrooms

Cold:

3 Dozen Eggs

Reduced Fat Provolone Slices

Frozen:

Corn

Deli:

Fresh Ham Slices

Miscellaneous:

Vinaigrette Salad Dressing

The total came out to be around $80 (for 2 people) so 1 person should be able to do it for under $50. 

I also made a rough eating plan for the next 5 days. I am in no way, shape or form a dietician! I just know how to follow guidelines and know what is healthy/unhealthy. This can be modified if there are foods that you may not like. This is just how I plan to do the next 5 days:
