Just made the Frittata for breakfast:) I have kept going since the last detox and lost another lb and a half! Altogether 12 lbs and I've never felt better. Thank you!!

Jennifer

Wish I took a pic of my winter veggies before everyone ate them! Hottest item at dinner. It was a delicious organically thin day!!!!

Dana

Since my first detox in October 2014, I have lost 35 lbs. I have a better understanding of how to use fresh vegetables and fruits, and from Mia’s guidance (lol, and patience), I use my Ninja almost every day, to make unbelievable smoothies, dressings and soups. I have tackled cooking fears, tried tons of new food, and fought off cravings for the stuff I thought I needed ( halloween candy still threatens, but now I also have a green smoothie with straw in the fridge when I need a quick something). Rolling my collard greens up today, elevating my leg with a sprained ankle and dislocated toe, I felt really proud. Just sharing, since Mia Russo Stern asked how our day was going. P.s, I fell walking out to my new compost bin!”

Bethel

Thank you!! You truly changed my life!!! I'm praying I have the strength to stay on track after day 10...may turn it into a 20 day detox The words thank you don't seem enough!! I've never felt better! The greatest change has been to my spirit...I've never felt so positive! So grateful!!

Elisa

Thank you Mia!! I am totally loving it. And it's more fun because my husband and son want to do it too so I have 3 people to cook for. So glad I did it now before he leaves for college - he would have missed it! And omg that sweet potato soup is AMAZING.

Holly

This was so much fun! I LOVED all the recipes you shared with me. You truly have a gift--thank you so much for sharing it with all of us. Keep inspiring my dear friends looking forward to the next detox. I love you so much! xoxo

Patty

Just wanted to say thank you soooo much. I think you have inspired all of us in so man ways! I had not used the food processor in 10 years - now I actually look forward to trying new recipes and creating fun, healthy foods! Will be in touch ...XO

Lauren

I loved our daily chats. In fact I left work early everyday to get to my kitchen, open up our Facebook detox pg, cook and learn new recipes. I'm really a terrible cook and up until the detox I barely knew where the pots and pans were kept. Now I am learning everything and I'm loving it.

Allison

I wanted to share some reactions I am having to this incredible experience. Yes, I have lost weight, and I cannot deny that has been highly motivating. But I am also amazed to feel differently on a moment-to-moment basis. It seems like I am sleeping heavier, deeper. I am less irritable: my mood is both more pleasant and more constant. I feel more energetic. There is a spring in my step that wasn't there before. It's sort of a combination of emotional and physical lightness. And of course there is the empowering feeling of self-efficacy that comes from taking charge of my health like this, taking care of myself, knowing what to do (thanks to a certain leader extraordinaire), and being able to stick to it (which, I will add, I would NEVER be able to do without the ability to eat RAW CACAO). One thing I had heard some people say they got as a benefit from a cleanse is their skin clearing up--and in my case, I haven't really noticed any change in my complexion. But that's just another part of learning about my body and how it works. Overall, I am just amazed at how transformative this has been. I really do want cheese, a bagel, and a Cadbury Creme Egg, but I can't argue with how good I feel. Hope you all are having similar growth, improvement, and success! We are almost there!

Lara

So excited to say I'm down 6lbs and feeling great.

Luisa

The sunflower pate is amazing!! My very first homemade smoothie! Love the vitamix. Pineapple kale.

Nicole

My skinny jeans fit !!!!! The joy that filled my body this morning when I easily zipped up these pants is indescribable.

Denise

Mia! 21lbs and living my best life. Made so many changes personally and professionally and truly believe your programs jump started this! You saved ME. So much love for you and grateful for your beautiful soul and gift for motivating and helping others in the kindest way.

Jolie

After a week of clean eating with your Organically Thin recipes, I lost six pounds and feel healthier and more energetic than ever. I love the on-line group discussions about healthy eating. It's so important to make the extra time (not much) to care about the food we put into our bodies. Thank you for teaching me about the morning elixir, green juice, and a healthy life style.

Beth

Joe and I both lost. We are up to 8 lbs!! I can't believe how Not hungry we feel.

Jamie

The carrot soup was sooo good!! And I love the cranberry flush it was delish!

Tanya

Soup was amazing!!!!!! Last night's carrot, parsnip amazing too!!! I'm not a huge soup lover but BOTH ARE FABULOUS. Lost another pound today. 2 total!!!!!:))). Mia, you're awesome. Slept great and headache gone:))) xo

Liz

It is easy not to cheat on this detox because the food is so good! I feel like I'm at canyon ranch or something like that...

Kristen

I'm really surprised that I am not craving sugar?!?!!

Claudine

True story: last night my husband goes "what's up with your eyes? They're extra shiny and clear.

Nicole

I just celebrated my 3 year maintaining 100lb weight loss. I always think of you and how much I appreciate all you’ve done for me. Thank you for giving me a future.
Angela

Mia, the recipes are all fabulous (especially loved the carrot parsnip and sweet potato soups), your videos are extremely helpful and your daily blasts are all filled with amazing suggestions on ways to nurture your mind, body and spirit!! You are an awesome role model and cheerleader! Thanks for everything.

Lisa

I am doing well and continue to eat well. I have slowly introduced some other items into my diet but I did the strict diet through April 25 and have lost total of 14 lbs. Feel wonderful and will be in touch. God bless you for sharing this with all of us.

Mary

I feel so good already- more energy and my stomach feels great. Even had willpower at my girls night tonight!

Jackie

So much more energy. Not tired and no sugar cravings! I really cannot thank you enough. This has been such a gift.

Stacey

I've been reflecting on this week and trying to put into words what an enormous change this program has made in my life. I'm not one for scales so, I can't quantify my results. I can share, however, that I was at my wit's end just before we started. I had just confessed to some friends that I was frightened and didn't know what to do to get ahold of myself. Would I constantly be hungry and tired? Had I become a com- pulsive eater? Would I forever fantasize about eating, and not just a taste of something special, no, overindulgence? I thought I should feel so much better after having quit sugar October 2018, but I was still struggling. I had looked into the cost of the most effective retreats and was willing to spend the mon- ey if I could find the time. But, it turned out the answer was much simpler. Mia, the recipes, practices, and coaching you offer changed my life. I cannot thank you enough. The shift has been phenomenal. I decide when and what to eat, and I make good choices. I'm not constantly hungry. I have plenty of ener- gy. My movement seems easier and more graceful. I'm even thinking more clearly and positively. I'm mo- tivated in other ways, too. What an absolute blessing this has been. Love and gratitude to you, dear Mia. I hope everyone had a similar experience.

Lori

Hi, it's Nancy. Just thought I'd identify myself because you might not recognize my post since my fingers are hitting the keyboard 6.5 pounds lighter. Thank you, Mia! I couldn't have done it without you. You're the best!

Nancy

OMG, I weigh myself EVERY day. Last detox I lost a total of 5.5lbs, gained back 2, but now I'm down .5 after day one. LOVE that I see this progress. It makes me feel so strong to look at some sugary treat and not cave.

Marilyn

Excellent recipe Mia! They turned out delicious, I love the flavors and the bit of heat! But...I might have had too much liquid or oil, they were very soft. Even when well done. They were very 'light'. I wanted to eat the entire batch!! Is this right?

Elisa

That’s why a 5 day cleanse with gorgeous recipes that are filled with nothing but nurturing plant based foods are called for. Your body will love you from the inside out. At the end of this Mia has you feeling like you can flyyyy!! Your sleep will improve too. But I bet your a sleeper no problem lol. Your skin will glow I kid you not. Ask Mia Russo Stern what she thinks!! Oh then you will be getting educated properly!! 🙌💞🌟 She is the ultimate goddess of all living plants

Lisa

Thanks again, Mia Russo Stern for your loving guidance, motivation and delicious recipes! You are an inspiration! I feel great - lighter and more energized. And I feel a noticeable difference in my neck and hips and shoulders -- which I assume must be decreased inflammation. Could you please share some of your recommendations for healthy food choices that you add into your non-detox days? I remember you mentioned Ezekiel, soba buckwheat noodles and black rice. 🙂 Also I remember reading a post I think about some sort of Hemp Berry Cereal. I don't know about that. What brand is it, etc? Are there any other foods that you find nutritious and good choices in general but not necessarily for detox/weight loss -- just for weight maintenance and overall good health? Thanks!

Tami

Thank you Mia Russo Stern for sharing your knowledge and thank you to all of you for sharing this journey with me. Sending love and light, until next time... ❤

Angie

Thank you Mia Russo Stern for an amazing 10 days. You are an incredible leader. Lots of incredible knowledgeandalwaysleadingwithyourheart!!Thankyou🙏

Wendy

I just had the delicious radish salad! The dressing was so light and refreshing. Looking forward to making the soup tonight. What protein do you recommend with it? xx

Jessica

I think I am more obsessed with food than ever - I never photographed my food before ? Also, when is the Spring Detox ???? Have to mark my calendar and do we get first dibs? Happy breakfast Ladies

Michele

I'm feeling a lot better esp after coming off medication. I'm finding I'm not hungry and only end up having the lemon water then smoothie then dinner. My family all loved the chicken and lentil soup! I'm looking forward to the curry cauliflower.

Marilyn

Beth

I am feeling really good on so many levels. I feel so energized, and I am committed to making this a lifestyle change beyond the 10 day detox. Taking time to take care of myself is new and wonderful. I en- joy learning the new combination of foods, particularly the numerous breakfast options. I was in an eat- ing rut, and find myself surprised that I am satiated. I am losing weight, particularly in the muffin top area. Some have mentioned to me that my skin looks great. I have seen the change too. My daughter remarked that my hair looks fuller. Thank you for your daily words of inspiration. It truly helps!

Mary

Elisa

Thank you Mia for all of your support and inspiration! How often do you do these detoxes? Please add me to your mailing list as I would love to do it again. xx

Kate

Mia Russo Stern OMG I am actually giggling right now... THANK YOU! YOUR recipes and guidance ap- parently have made me look good.

Tami

So excited to say I'm down 6lbs and feeling great. Glad I listened to Lisa And Mia's too.

What If…

You had a sweet Italian grandma

to help you shop and cook, only she was actually hip and witty, and she gave you a shopping list that sent you down aisles you don’t actually go, and every time you checked Facebook, there were supportive friends chatting and sharing tips and recipes, and it was fine to eat chocolate, and every time you made a recipe, it took no time at all and instead of feeling like a diet, it felt like you went to culinary school, and that hip not-grandma virtually tucked you in every night with words of encouragement, and then you realize you feel 100% more alive than you felt before, and you get on the scale and you are 5 lbs lighter?
