Hi Katherine,

I just wanted to tell you I completed the 7 day detox and I feel so great.

I have lost 6lbs, do not feel like I need more my morning coffee, the flushing of my facial skin from rosacea has dramatically reduced and I am so excited to wake up each morning and make a green thickie for breakfast!!

I am a stay at-home, homeschooling momma of 3 littles and at times so busy I would forget to feed myself!

I would go most of the day without eating and then snack on random things.

I gained 60 pounds the last 6 years during pregnancy.

I have lost 30lbs but recently plateaued and have felt so frustrated.

I’ve tried everything from paleo and keto to the point where I didn’t know what to eat or how much and felt like even eating fruit was bad for me which thankfully it’s not!

What a game changer for me. Thank you for sharing a simple but effective program.

I’m so excited to continue another week with this plan!ThankfulStephanie

FAQs

What desserts can vegans not eat? ›

Whether you follow a vegan diet or you're hosting guests who do, planning your meals can take a little extra work. Most desserts use at least one animal-derived ingredient—whether it's eggs, honey, milk chocolate, butter or other dairy products—which makes them a no-go for vegans and those on plant-based diets.

Are raw vegan desserts healthy? ›

They feature a short list of wholefood ingredients, making them a more nutritious alternative. As they are generally made without wheat, dairy, eggs or refined sugars, they also tend to be suitable for a coeliac or dairy free diet.

What is surprisingly not vegan? ›

Beer and Wine

Isinglass, a gelatin-based substance derived from fish, is used as a clarifying agent in some beer and wine. Other non-vegan ingredients sometimes used are casein (from milk) and egg whites.

Do vegans eat cheesecake? ›

No, cheesecake is not usually vegan because it's made with dairy and often eggs. My recipe is 100% vegan and dairy free, of course!

Can I lose weight going raw vegan? ›

The raw vegan diet can be an effective way to lose weight while also providing a wide range of health benefits. However, it is important to be aware of the potential side effects and to plan your meals carefully to ensure that you are getting enough nutrients.

Which is better vegan or raw vegan? ›

A raw vegan diet has pretty much the same benefits but advocates of the raw food diet claim that eating their food raw is healthier because eating food raw completely preserves the nutrients and enzymes in it.

Is raw vegan anti inflammatory? ›

Along with colorful fruits and vegetables, healthy fats such as avocado, nuts and olive oil, and plenty of whole grains, the plant based diet has powerful anti-inflammatory effects.

What sweets can a vegan eat? ›

Fruity Sweets: Many fruity sweets, such as Skittles, Starburst, and Sour Patch Kids, are vegan-friendly. Hard Candies: Hard candies, such as lollipops and candy canes, are often vegan-friendly.

Can vegans eat dessert? ›

Turns out, you don't need milk products, eggs, or any kind of dairy at all to achieve the luxurious and rich flavor of some of the best sweets out there. From strawberry shortcake pops and vanilla cupcakes, to fudge pies and sugar doughnuts, here are the best easy vegan desserts for you to try out this week.

Why can't vegans eat cake? ›

The non-vegan ingredients in such cakes are usually butter, eggs and milk. White flour may be a nutritional loser, but it is not an animal product. White sugar is a close call. It is normally considered vegan, but actually it is often whitened in a process that uses animal bones.
