Mid-way week

Scott Schwab:

Alright challengers, this week is the mid way week. This is a great time to see what you are doing well and where you need to improve. Modestly, a person can lose 2 pounds per week and with 4 weeks left, you have the ability to lose 8-10 pounds by being disciplined.
Here are a couple of points to remember when going into the rest of the challenge:

1) Avoid sodas and sugar drinks-they do nothing for you
2) Drink water to replace sugar drinks and equivalent of half your body weight in oz
3) Avoid eating after 7pm
4) Eat 6 mini meals throughout the day and make sure you have food every 2 hours
5) If you haven't done a cleanse, do one and eliminate toxins from your body
6) Avoid processed foods and fried foods whenever possible

Here is a list of cleanses that you can implement for great results:

Master Cleanse:

Day 1-6
Morning:
Drink Sea Salt with 25-32oz of water (It is important to do this early and before you have to leave. Plan on being on the toilet for at least 30 minutes).

Throughout the day:
Mix
12 tablespoons of fresh squeezed lemons
12 tablespoons of grade B maple syrup
1/2 teaspoon Cayenne pepper
into 64oz (1/2 gallon) of distilled water

Evening:
1 cup of Smooth move tea
Drink this elixir throughout the day. No food. You may think you are not getting enough nutrients, but this elixir provides 1500 calories daily. You do not need to eat any other food, just drink the elixir. Yeah you will be hungry, but push through. You can do this cleanse upwards of 10 days, but I recommend doing it at least 3 to get the benefits and 5 to truly see a difference. We just coached someone through the process for 5 days and they lost 11 pounds!

Prune Juice Cleanse:

Morning:
Begin your day by drinking 16 ounces or more of prune juice (unsweetened, if possible). The prune juice is not primarily to empty the bowels, which it will do, but rather to draw into the intestines from every part of the body such toxic matter or body waste as may be there, and eliminate it through the bowels.

After beginning with the sixteen ounces of prune juice, within one half hour take an eight ounce glass of undiluted apple juice. Swish each mouthful thoroughly (called chewing). Then, 30 minutes later drink a glass of plain water (preferably distilled), followed 30 minutes later with more apple juice.

The general procedure is: 16 oz. of prune juice first thing in the morning, then, 8 oz. of apple juice 30 minutes later, and 8 oz. of distilled water after that; repeating the juice and distilled water each 30 minutes throughout the day. One gallon of apple juice is consumed each day for an average size adult, or one ounce per pound of body weight. (This of course is an approximate and suggested dosage, as age, ability to hold liquids, etc., determine the capacity for each specific case.)

Repeat this detoxification for 3 consecutive days. Thus, approximately three gallons of mucus and catarrh will have been eliminated and will have been replaced by three gallons of juice. This has resulted in speeding up the re-alkalinizing of the system.

During the three-day cleanse, take one or two tablespoons of olive oil three times a day, to aid in lubricating bile and liver ducts, etc. On the fourth and subsequent days, we begin taking vegetable and fruit juices, along with raw fruits and vegetables to slowly ease your body to solid foods. On the fifth day eat solid foods by avoid sugars, foods high in salt, processed foods, and fried foods.
