Kick Start Fat Loss Detox Diet

HOW DO I KNOW FOR SURE IF I THE KICKSTART CLEANSE IS RIGHT FOR ME?

The cleanse was designed for those who are either looking to do a complete overhaul and jump straight into 'eating 2 run' or those who usually eat well but are going through a time where good habits have fallen away and need a 'reset' or a 'kickstart' to get back on track. The goal of the cleanse is to help you to boost your energy, recover from workouts faster and feel lighter and healthier.

IS THE KICKSTART CLEANSE VEGAN/VEGETARIAN FRIENDLY?

Yes. The classic version is vegan (while the fat-burner version contains fish, poultry and meat).

SHOULD I DO THE KICKSTART CLEANSE IF I'M IN RECOVERY FROM A BIG RACE I JUST COMPLETED?

Yes, this is an ideal time to do the cleanse (although you won't require the pre, during and post workout options you can try them when you get back into training)! The cleanse focuses on ensuring you get tons of anti-inflammatory foods to help you recover faster than ever before.

I HAVE FOOD ALLERGIES AND/OR FOOD SENSITIVITIES – IS THE KICKSTART CLEANSE RIGHT FOR ME?

The cleanse is dairy-free, gluten-free, soy-free (except for a small amount of miso in one of the recipes which could be avoided) and contains options for nut-free versions of everything. The only nightshades included are minimal tomatoes and a few bell peppers which could be easily avoided. A few recipes note modifications for foods that are known to be troublesome for some (such as bananas or apples). If you are sensitive to FODMAPs, there may be too many modifications to the menu to make this cleanse worth it for you, although the fat-burner version could be modified to fit.

I HAVE A HEALTH CONDITION – IS THE KICKSTART CLEANSE RIGHT FOR ME?

If you have a specific health condition, know that this program is full of only whole, real foods that are known to facilitate healing and recovery. I've had KickStart Cleansers with health conditions such as Celiac, rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia, IBS and colitis to all find varying degrees of success with this program.

I AM PREGNANT OR NURSING – IS THE KICKSTART CLEANSE RIGHT FOR ME?

I don't suggest making any drastic dietary changes when pregnant or nursing, however including more nutrient-dense and anti-inflammatory foods is always a good idea. This program is full of only whole, real foods and is not designed to be restrictive.

SHOULD I DO THE KICKSTART CLEANSE IF I'M IN FULL ON TRAINING MODE (IE TRAINING FOR A MARATHON)?

Yes, many athletes have done the cleanse even while working out daily. Either version can work, but the classic version provides more carbohydrates and so for an athlete in a heavy training cycle may work better than the fat-burning version. However, there are pre, during and post workout foods included in the cleanse to ensure your workouts are well fueled on either version.

IS THE KICKSTART CLEANSE PALEO FRIENDLY?

Yes. The fat-burner version contains fish, poultry and meat and does not contain any grains or legumes (while the classic version is vegan).

DO YOU INCLUDE THE CALORIE AND MACRONUTRIENT INFORMATION FOR YOUR MENUS AND RECIPES?

No. By eating only whole, real foods that are nutrient-dense and highly anti-inflammatory our hunger and satiety cues work much better than when processed foods and empty calories are being consumed. My goal is to put the focus on eating more intuitively, according to hunger and with a mindset of fueling your active body for optimal performance. If you are worried about weight loss, know that every KickStart Cleanser I've heard from so far has either lost 1 to 8 lbs or not changed in weight but ended up feeling lighter and less bloated by the end. All that said, the food outlined in the cleanse to use during running or working out do contain 'carbs per serving' information as that is important to know as an athlete for fueling purposes.

DO I NEED ANY SPECIAL KITCHEN APPLIANCES TO MAKE THE KICKSTART CLEANSE MEALS AND SNACKS?

The only absolute requirement is a blender. A good high-speed blender (such as a Vitamix or a Blendtec) is nice to have and makes the smoothies 'smoother', however all the recipes have been tested and work just fine in regular blenders also. A food processor is also very nice to have and there is one recipe (pre-run bars) that requires a food processor (there is a suggested sub if you don't have a food processor and cannot make the bars). Two recipes in the classic version call for a food processor, however can also be done in a blender.
