I am writing this note for all the people who were interested in my RESET/Detox program that I do at the end of every season. After posting on my twitter today, the response was quite extraordinary so as promised I would jot down for all those interested, what my system is, what I do and for how long. I am sure there are hundreds of Detox systems available and I am not here to claim any one is better than the other. I actually think that if you do a body "Reset" as we like to call it, every year, you feel better for it. I am sure there are lots on the market and lots of different views. My opinion is that the body thanks you for doing it, and the only thing worse than any particular system is not doing one in the first place. This is my view, and it works for me. I am happy with it and have just finished Day 1 today. I am not here to claim anything and am happy if people don’t care for what I do or think there is a better system out there. This is mine, I am very happy with it and will continue to follow it. I know how I feel after it, have done it before and do not want to take too many risks with new systems when I am straight back into hard work in January. Some people don't believe in these at all, and if that is the case with you, then more power to you. I write this note for those of you who asked all those questions on my twitter and sent me emails via facebook asking for more specifics. I got bombarded with questions so this was the easiest way to explain. I hope this answers them for you all.

I use Genesis Pure products all year round. For my body RESETS I use the Liquid Cleanse, GoYin, Cell Water and Nutrition by Genesis Pure to support my food cleanse, that is outlined below.

This company does not sponsor me at all. I chose their products last year after being put onto them by my friend who loves this sort of stuff. I liked the stuff and have used them ever since. I recently signed up to be a part of their program so as to buy the product cheaper.

My RESET Program then follows the following pattern and we have done it this way taking into consideration that I will continue to exercise during this period, but not heavily. My RESET is only 14 days duration and not very aggressive. I think the support of the Genesis Pure helps with detox and the avoidance of heavy foods on the digestive system allows my body to rest and liver and kidneys a little break. I still eat, unlike many other programs out there.

Day 1-7 Cleanse and Reset

The first 7 days of my Reset I go totally Organic and eat fruit and Vegetables only. I tend to eat a lot of salads and soups and remain very Alkaline in my food choices. I drink only purified water and use the Liquid Cleanse, Nutrition and Cell Water 3 times per day as a supplement to the eating program. I find this first 7 days very easy and enjoy eating fruits. I eat small quantities and always Organic. I find that I really flush a lot through the kidneys during this period and go to the bathroom quite extensively. In the later stages of this first week you can feel a little hungry but I honestly find that this goes away relatively quickly.

Day 8-14 Stabilize-Rebuild

This is where I introduce the GoYin and the Energy to the supplements I take and will introduce Wheat Free bread to my palate. I slowly bring in Organic Wheat Free Bread and eat Sandwiches at lunch. Still Organic Lentil soups, Fruit, Vegetables and now Bread make up most of my diet. I have GoYin with Fresh squeeze Juice as an additional hydration source now. Hydration is still primarily water. I find my body really starts to feel happy this second week and my body really feels stable. My hunger desires are gone and my skin feels very soft. I use the Energy product late in the week to give me a boost for my training sessions as I start to ramp up training. I am not a vegetarian but during this RESET I don’t eat meat at all. I will have my first hormone free meat meal for dinner on the 14 day, and will then begin to introduce other foods back into my diet.

It sounds like this is hard to do this program but it really isn’t. I like t, it is not too much and too difficult and I feel the build post this RESET is very quick. I have friends who have done longer programs, but coming back into training post these has been difficult.

This is my program. For those that want to give it a go, please feel free to and drop me a line and tell me what you think. I started Day 1 today on the 16th December 2009, so as to be finished for New Years Day to begin my build for Ironman China in March. For many of you, give it a go after the festive season and fill me in on how you guys went. Would love to hear about it. Hope I have been some help to those interested. Thanks for being a part of my Face book site. It is great staying connected with everyone.

Enjoy,
