Welcome to Week 2! You may start noticing changes in the bloat around your middle and are experiencing clearer thinking.
Reminders for this week: make sure that non-starchy veggies make up at least half of each meal. Try adding frozen Kale or frozen Spinach to your protein shakes. It is pretty much flavorless and tastes good! Continue to consume at least half your body weight in ounces of water each day. Add fizz tabs, detox tea and alkaline broth to get even more liquids.

Learning More About Protein...
The typical American diet provides plenty of protein -- more than the RDA in most instances. The RDA represents the minimum amount of protein needed to fulfill protein needs in 97.5% of the population. This value is equal to 0.8 g of protein per kg body weight per day. The average mixed American diet provides more than double of this.
Let's break it down. Proteins are the basic building blocks of the human body. They are made up of amino acids, and help build muscles, blood, skin, hair, nails and internal organs. Next to water, protein is the most plentiful substance in the body, and most of it (around 60% to 70%) is located in the skeletal muscles.
