Here is my attempt to provide a healthy alternative to popular weight loss programs/cleanses. Most of these programs work because they're specific, social, and time limited. Unfortunately they're also usually expensive. My option minimizes costs while also reducing the time spent cooking and thinking. Try it for 3 weeks and see for yourself.
