Feeling tired and listless and a bit too fat?
Well Christine’s has a plan that will soon fix that
It’s a 4 day diet that gives you a start
The instructions are simple, no need to be smart
Linda’s support each day, while not part of the plan
Made me think she’s my number 1 fan
To say it was easy would not be quite true
By the end of day 2, I could have eaten my shoe
But then on day 3, 4 pounds were gone
That gave me inspiration ..I would go on!
Day 4 was quite something, with all the prune juice
Suffice it to say, not only clothes became loose
Then on day 5, I was 6 pounds lighter
My future as a thin person was looking brighter
I was out of that rut that we all find ourselves in
You know the one: “I’ve no time for the gym”
Will it continue? What did I learn?
If I stick with Christine’s, I’ll have self confidence to burn!

I was quite happy with my detox. I lost 4 lbs in 4 days. I found the food quite enjoyable and satisfying. I did feel more energetic and lighter. I was surprised to only lose 4 lbs. but I was not disappointed and made me feel motivated to continue eating and exercising the right way!
Thank you Christine, see you at the gym!

The 4 Day Detox Results Pt. 4
More success stories from the 4 Day Detox:
"I had unfortunately fallen of the exercise and healthy eating wagon. I desperately wanted to get back in shape and rid my body of the extra weight I had gain over the last few months. Christine’s note about the detox was exactly what I needed.
I am thrilled to report that I lost 10 lbs and I am feeling great. I am back into an exercise routine; I have great energy, and no longer feel bloated.
The detox is easy to follow and very empowering – especially when you get the results you are looking for."
Adrianne's Ohalloran
"Here's my testimonial to add to your growing list of results.
I decided to try Christine's 4-Day Detox as a way to jump start the inevitable New Year's Resolution to get back to eating right. And it really worked! I lost 5 pounds over the 4 days, and have noticed a dramatic reduction in my desire for bread and desserts (my biggest weakness). The 4-day plan focused on combining specific foods, which were easy to prepare and surprisingly satisfying. I must confess that I don't think I will ever develop a taste for prune juice - but it's only required on one day,which is very manageable.
These immediate results have given me the motivation to maintain a much smarter style of eating - more fruit and veggies, less 'filler'. I would encourage anyone to give it a try - it's so easy and effective. Thanks, Christine!"

The 4 Day Detox Results Pt. 3
Hello Christine, here's my result.
I weighed in on a Wednesday night but didn't start the detox till Friday. By the time I did my final weigh in on the following Tuesday afternoon, I had lost 12 pounds. I chose to detox on a Friday through Monday as I am an operating room nurse and it was easier to eat regularly on the weekend (not mention, drink all that extra water!) I felt a bit tired and head-achy the first two days as the detox kicked in full tilt. To remedy this, I drank extra lemon water or caffeine free herbal tea with great results.
I prepared my food Thursday night. Cut up the celery and portioned it out. Added some vinegar and chili pepper and it tasted great when I ate it on day 2 and 4 (trust me, I don’t normally like celery). The raw tomato was also good sprinkled this way at each meal. Cooked the squash and portioned it out. The day 4 squash can be cooked with the apple if you need to cook more (it’s yummy). The stewed tomatoes were good with the vinegar and chili pepper as well. Tomatoes have different chemical properties depending on whether they are raw or cooked. That’s why the difference depending on the meal.
One of the biggest things I learned from this diet was what ½ a cup actually looked like. There are Glad small round containers you can buy in sixes or eights (can’t remember) but they are ½ a cup in size. With the combinations of food and drinking the water first, I actually felt full. I was really hungry the first night, but as I drank more water the following days and ate around 6pm, I was going to bed comfortable.
My plan to keep it off is to pay better attention to my portion sizes, keep down the starches/carbs (but not eliminate). I like the lunch with the squash, beans, tomato juice and eggs. It is easy to take to work, warms up easily and fills you up. I’m adding in pork and fish at the dinners, salads (easy on the dressing) and some healthier snacks when I’m hungry instead of just staying hungry and ignoring it (getting grumpy).
My wedding dress for January 22, 2011 thanks the Detox Diet for the breathing space!
Best of luck on your journey.

The 4 Day Detox Results Pt. 2
Here is another message from a member about the results she received on the 4 Day Detox:
Hello Members,
I am impressed, again! Yes, again, with Christine’s “4 Day Detox ” programme.
In June of 2010, I stood on my scale and moaned. Over the years, gaining 2 pounds a year had not really bothered me because I am quite tall and could hide the extra 15 pounds that I was lugging around. However, I had 3 reunions to go to over the summer and I was determined to look my best, which meant doing something fast to lose my thickened waist and protruding tummy.
I had dieted before so that I knew that I could lose some weight on a high protein-low carbohydrate diet, and I could also lose some weight by giving up my white wine, which I consumed like pop in the summer heat on my back deck. But I wasn’t motivated to do either because of a been-there-done-that attitude. I had read the testimonials at Christine’s about the “4 Day Detox” programme and was taken with so many excellent results in only 4, but really 5, short days. Besides, Linda mentioned that one of the pluses of the diet was that it prepared you for your preferred weight-loss programme.
I was truly pleased with how uncomplicated the diet was. The various foods were simple to prepare and surprisingly tasty even though unadorned by salt, fats and sugar. You do drink a lot of water but when you know that you are flushing out all the toxins your body has accumulated over time, you are very motivated to keep drinking. The daily work-outs were actually pleasurable, sort of like a mini boot camp where you know you would never push yourself that hard if you were doing it by yourself. Besides, through perspiration you are helping to rid your body even further of toxins.
After the 5th weigh-in, I had lost 4 pounds. I was delighted because I could see that the bloat in my tummy was gone and my clothes fit so much better. I then started on a simple food-combining diet and continued to work out twice a week. By December of 2010, only 6 months later, I had dropped another 6 pounds with this combination of better eating and regular exercise.
However, by the end of the this past holiday and the beginning of January, I had started not to gain weight but to feel sluggish what with all the holiday treats and the sip-sip-sipping of wonderful wines to usher in the new year. Once again, I turned to the “4 Day Detox” programme, knowing that if it worked once for me, well, twice would be even better.
This time, by the 5th weigh-in, I lost 7 pounds and was over-the-moon happy with how much better I felt, plus giving me a little wiggle room as I was now a few pounds below my ideal weight. Motivated to keep off those unwanted pounds, I immediately booked training sessions and started back with enthusiasm on my food combining diet with portion control.
Finding the right way to lose weight with diet and exercise is a very individual choice. For me this “4 Day Detox” programme worked really, really well, as it was not difficult, I enjoyed every moment of it, and the results were terrific. Jennifer Gilfillan

The 4 Day Detox Results Pt. 1
Hello Everybody,
Here are the 1st results I have gotten from The 4 Day Detox:
It Works !
I've just completed the 4-DAY DETOX and I couldn't be more pleased with the results. In addition to losing about 6 lbs., I feel more energetic, clear-headed, 'lighter'. The program itself is no hardship - you eat and drink, and exercise, according to plan and it works! On the fifth day, the final weigh-in, I felt almost at a loss how to proceed, since one will always start gaining once back to 'regular' eating. I solved my dilemma by making a soup of all the 'prescribed' ingredients and having that at least once a day. The program also taught me portion control or rather how by combining certain foods, 1/2 cup at a time, you're fulfilled. I'm now more mindful of what goes in 'the front door'. During the program I was never hungry.
The program is a good kick in the gluteus maximus to start the year. It has gotten me to the gym every day during the detox and ever since I finished it. Highly recommend it!
Kaija Ryynanen
All the best
Lynn Mitchell
Right now we can't take any more people on the program, however, I am working on a new program which should help anyone get back to their ideal weight within 30 days !
Christine !
