Preparing for your Purification Program

As a sat down to make me shopping list for this week, I realized that there were a number of things that I might need to grab at the store that I wouldn't have thought of had I not been starting my Purification Program this week. After realizing this, I thought that it might be helpful to everyone if I made a list of things that you might want to grab at the store before you officially start your Purification Program. Here is a list of groceries that you will want to grab before you officially start your Purification Program.

4. Lentils or Wild/Brown Rice- Lentils are recommended over wild rice because lentils have a higher protein content and less carbohydrates

5. Protein Sources- these will be added to the program on day 11 so you shouldn't have to worry about this week. I will give you a reminder about protein for next week.

6. Water- you will be drinking a minimum of 8 glasses of water a day so plan accordingly

7. Oils- these should be cold-pressed and unprocessed. Use only high-quality oils such as:

• Coconut oil
• Extra-virgin olive oil
• Fish oil
• Flax seed oil
• Grape seed oil

All of this information can be found in the Standard Process Purification Program Guide in the folder that was given to you with your products.

So before you go shopping, make a list of all of the supplies that you will need this week as you start your purification program!
