Are you ready for summer?

I know you want to feel great in your skin this summer (who doesn’t?!), but I’ll bet you aren’t willing to give up all your favorite foods and starve yourself silly. Good things you’ve landed here! I’ve been there and done that – it’s no fun, and I can tell you it doesn’t work for the long haul.

I’m Karen Farmelo, a Culinary Institute of America trained chef and culinary health & wellness coach and I know there’s so much confusing advice out there about how to lose weight, feel good, and look great for summer. 

I know what it’s like to try every diet that’s out there, including detoxes that limit what I can eat to just a few items or force me to drink nothing but liquids for days. That might work for some people, but truth be told, it’s never worked for me.

What did work is cleaning up my diet by switching to a balanced, whole foods diet. One that is full of fruits, vegetables, leafy greens, whole grains, fermented foods, and yes, a moderate amount of meat too. That’s why I created the Reset Your Eating Habits: 5-Day Whole Foods Detox for Beginners. It’s five days of easy on your digestive system whole foods and self-care practices designed to give your body a break so it can release accumulated toxins. As a result you’ll digest better, sleep better, and have more energy. What’s not to love about that?

The Summer 5-Day Detox is perfect for you if you:

  • Want more energy for your busy and demanding life

  • Find yourself dragging at 3:00 PM and use sugar and caffeine to make it through the day

  • Experience belly bloat after eating

  • Feel tired all the time even though you’re working out and eating right

  • Work out a ton and still don’t get the results you expect

  • Want to hit the reset button on your metabolism so your body becomes a fat burning machine

  • Get breakouts on your face, shoulders, and back even though you thought you were done with acne

If you’re eating right and exercising, but still not losing the weight – it’s likely your body needs a detox! Detoxes are so important in our busy and over-scheduled lives. Let’s face it – we live in a polluted world, and even if we’re eating the best foods and drinking the best quality water, we’re still exposed to toxins in the environment all around us. Even more, many of us are eating foods that are filled with chemicals, artificial substances and pollutants, and it’s more than our bodies can handle.

 

If you’ve been gaining and losing the same weight over and over for the last few years, a whole-foods detox can break that cycle and help you lose the weight for good.

 

Regular program pricing is $97. But, sign up before Wednesday, July 16 and get Early Bird Pricing. That’s just $77!

 

When our bodies become overloaded with toxins, our systems get clogged up and end up storing the excess toxins in our fat cells. When our fat cells get filled with toxins, they can’t get burned off, and even worse: we tend to store MORE fat! A detox is the only way to release those toxins from your fat cells and allows the fat to finally burn away.



“I have done multiple detoxes over the years with various degrees of success. I was over-the-moon with the deliciousness and simplicity of the recipes, the fact that my family enjoyed them too, and that I lost - no joke - 6.3 pounds in one week! I feel great and continue to eat gluten and sugar free.” -Caroline S.



“I love the fact that it is only FIVE days! That, along with the simple recipes and prep tips made this the first detox I have actually completed. On day 5 I felt better than ever with tons of energy and mental clarity. I was also happy to see that I lost 4 pounds and my belly is flatter and recovered from the holidays!” -J.D.



“The 5-Day Detox was just what I needed and exceeded my expectations of what was possible in 5 days. First off, the recipes were delicious and I had so much food that I had plenty of leftovers all week when I needed them which kept me on track if I got hungry between meals. By day four, my energy was steady throughout the day, I was more focused at work, and I slept through the night which had not been happening. I lost 3 pounds of excess weight and reduced my anxiety by half. All in 5 days. Thank you!” -Megan C.


Detoxes can help to: 

  • Rev up your metabolism.  A properly done detox can be great for re-setting your metabolism and burning fat that's been clinging to your body for years.

  • Give your body a break!  Digestion takes a lot of energy, and it's important to give our digestive systems a break every now and then so they can repair damage done from foods that can damage them, like fried, processed, and sugary treats.  

  • Reset your habits.  Have you noticed that you're reaching for the candy bowl more often than before?  Are you drinking more wine than water these days?  Cleanses are great for helping you become aware of your bad habits so you can start changing them.   

  • Make you feel better than you’ve ever felt before. Many of my detox clients tell me they have more energy, sleep better, and have more drive for life than ever before – pretty incredible for just 5 days!

 

Yeah, but…will this really work for me?

I know there are a lot of detoxes out there promising to be a miracle cure, but the 5-Day Detox for Beginners is different because it focuses on introducing lots of healthy, nutrient dense foods into your diet rather than restricting you to a few foods and drinks.

Many people have already gone through one of my 5-Day Detoxes and have had incredible results.

This detox is for you if:

  • You reach for a can of diet cola and a chocolate bar when the clock hits 3:00 PM.

  • You usually eat pretty well, you find yourself craving the opportunity to lighten up this spring

  • You know you want to eat better, but you’re just not sure where to start

  • You want to find out how to feed your body for real instead of following another fad diet

  • You know things need to change, but you also know you need some support and guidance to get healthy the RIGHT way

Get back on track with your eating habits in a way that won’t leave you feeling hungry or deprived.

Kick you sugar habit to the curb.

Lose from 2-14 pounds (this is what REAL people have experienced and most of them have kept it off!)

Frequently Asked Questions

I’m really busy - will this program work for me?

Yes, I get it; we’re ALL busy these days. But the reality is that feeling heavy and frustrated isn’t helping you squeeze more productivity into your day. This detox is quick, easy, and WILL make a difference.

Many detoxers have told me that their families have just eaten all the foods along with them with little to no complaints. Plus, a 5-day detox is much quicker than most programs you’ll find out there, and I’ve created a lot of done-for-you materials to make this as easy as possible.

How do I know if I need a detox?

Detoxing is a personal decision, and it’s something that I do on a regular basis for a number of reasons. First, I just love the way I feel after I take a break from eating unhealthy foods and focusing on getting high-quality nutrients in every meal.

Second, the reality is that our world is becoming increasingly polluted. We ingest toxins through the water we drink, the air we breathe, and even the materials that are around us. Then add in the chemicals that we have in our homes and workplaces, and that means pretty much everyone is carrying a toxic load.

When our bodies get overexposed to toxins, our liver does the best job it can to protect us, and it does this by wrapping toxins in mucus and storing them in in fat cells. (Um, yuck.) When the toxins are stored in our fat, we can’t burn that fat until we release and process that toxin! The reality is that no matter how much you exercise, eat right, and manage your stress, you won’t be able to lose that stubborn belly fat until you partake in a detox and get rid of those toxins for good.

What kind of results should I expect?

Many people tell me that the best thing about this program is that they never realized how bad they were feeling until they started feeling better than ever before. Many of them share that they wake up feeling like they have more energy than they know what to do with, their skin clears up, and they feel awesome in their clothes.
