There was a problem with my Mail Chimp Email settings, but I think it has been fixed…you should have received it this morning?
Let me know if you haven’t…thanks!!
Hi Sylvia!
I also did not receive the meal plan, would you be able to email it to me too?
Thank you!
Emailed it …did you get it?
I’m having great difficulty hunting out the Haloumi salad with mint dressing recipe,so far searched in vain.Here’s hoping!
Just sent it.:)
Hi Sylvia
I did not receive the meal plan either. Would be much appreciated if you could email it to me.
Many thanks
Jane
Just sent it!
Hello there! I tried subscribing also but it did not work. Would love to try your detox!
Sure- No problem, I will email it to you Mel!
Did you get the confirmation message? The most common reason people don’t receive it is because there is typo in the email address.
Hi!, I suscribed but I haven’t received the menu plan yet….
This is wonderfully done!! I love what you wrote. I have a certificate in Plant-based Nutrition from Cornell and an a certified instructor for the McDougall Starch Solution Program. You are on the right track, keep up the good work!
I am happy to have found your site and can’t wait to try some of your recipes, they all look so delicious.
I signed up to receive your emails and it states up top that when you sign up you get a detox plan along with menus but I did not receive them. Are they on your site or Am I missing something?
I received the menu and detox plan this morning. There must have been a delay in receiving my email. Thank you for all the wonderful recipes.
I want to thank you for the ethnic recipes you have published. My husband loves them and I am happy he does.
He even adds the ingredients needed to make your dishes to he shopping list!
Ahhh.. thanks. I hope I’m not making him too crazy with the list, as I know my list of ingredients can get a little long at times. 😉
Hi Sylvia, i started making the dextox tea and drinking the same, can you let me know how many glass i should drink ideally a day and for how many days.
thanks
Kiran
Hi Kiran, There are no “shoulds” here. I drink it throughout the day, just refilling it with hot water. But we are all different. Try it for week and see what you think and how you feel.
Hi, I just signed up and already got the menu, can’t wait to start cooking. Will decently recommend to my friends.
Thanks so much Rosely!!
Wonderful website! Recipes look awesome! Want to do your detox plan, as my ‘story’ is so similar to yours. So happy to have found your site, &look forward to making so many of your delicious-looling recipes. Thank you!!
Thanks for visiting the site Sylvia….I’m happy you are here! Similar stories, and we share the same name. 😉
Hey I am interested in the meal plan? Please send to me. I would love to blog my results.
Interested in receiving your detox plan – currently on chemo for breast cancer. Any other tips you might have? Totally need to detox… Obviously! ;).
I will email it to you.I’m so sorry to hear you are going through chemo, I honestly can’t begin to imagine how hard this would be. How has your appetite been? What are you craving?
I’m not an expert, but what I would tell a friend is…
Be kind to yourself and gently nourish your body with clean, fresh, plant-based foods, made from scratch. Limit anything processed in addition to white flour, sugar or overly heavy foods. Think wholesome, real food with the focus around fruits and vegetables, organic if possible.
Sending you love and healing today.
Hello, I just LOVE your Blog. I signed up for the Detox menu but haven’t received it and wondered could you please send it to me? Many thanks in advance.
Sure thing, it’s the way!
I’d love to try this as well but did not get the email. Thank you so much.
Jennie, do you remember what page you signed up on. I seem have one missing link and can’t seem to find it. Do you know if you were on a recipe post?
I have the book “prevent and reverse heart disease” but a lot of the recipes all for sweet potatoes. I try and try and cannot stand them…what can I substitute?
Thanks!
Do you like winter squash? Like butternut?
No unfortunately I don’t. The only squash I like are spaghetti and zucchini.
Hi Sylvia! My story is similar to yours… have always been thin and able to lose weight easily. Have put on 10lbs in the last 18 months and can’t seem to shake it. Thinking about trying the detox plan and have a couple of questions:
– Did you snack, or stick to only 3 meals a day? If you snack, what do you recommend?
– I only have a small French press. To make a quart, could I just pour over a fine strainer instead?
– Do the recipes in your weekly “nourish bowl” recipe plan work with the detox?
Thanks so much for such a beautiful and inspiring site!
Hi Holly! Yes, I snack, mainly at night, my hardest time to not eat. It’s like my mouth gets bored and just wants to chew!!! I cut up cucumber and jicama, squeeze with lime and sprinkle with chili powder – or cut up a really good apple. I try to stick to fruit and veggies- not always succeeding. For the tea- yes boil the water in the pot with the spices and roots, so it infuses well, then strain. Nourish bowl is great for the detox! Welcome to the blog.
well Sylvia your blog is amezing
Hello,I really look forward to try more gluten -free recipes. your upside down rhubarbe cake was a huge success tonight. Receiving your detox and menu plan would be wonderful Thank you so much. for your inspiration.
Loved your 5 Healthy bowls recipes! Looking forward to more!
This blog is helpful and useful to the readers and to the searchers. I admire your determination .Thanks for this great resource & I really appreciate your work.
Thanks so much! Really appreciate this.
always great content
I have only recently found your site and feel very inspired to cook more and to try to incorporate more veggies in my meals (slightly tricky when feeding a teenager).
Your writing is not at all preachy which is incredibly refreshing and you seem to understand the difficulties people face when little on time.
I have tried to sign up for your detox plan as your experience is exactly what is happening to me however however nothing comes through and I have checked my junk folder.
Many thanks,
Thanks so much- appreciate this Gillian and please check your folders for subject line “Welcome Gifts” and I also will resend. 😉
I don’t see a link to sign up for the guide. Is it still available?
Any of the sign up forms on the blog will get you the guide!
Signed up and yay! It was in spam, but I changed that and am so excited to try the detox and your other recipes! Thanks so much!
For those of you doing due diligence, here are reputable sites on the real evidence or as the case may be, lack of evidence, re “detox” diets. In short, detox is nothing short of quackery that is being peddled to make $. Really, if it sounds too good to be true, it’s because it isn’t! But don’t believe me, look it up. PubMed is a listing of professional (peer-reviewed) publications on all aspects of biology—a good place to start (google and social media sites being poor places to look for objective evidence).

https://sciencebasedmedicine.org/the-one-thing-you-need-to-know-before-you-detox/
In my line of work (biomedical research), I read the technical papers but I’ve pointed out some reliable layman friendly blogs for those who find real science too dull to get through…no hype, no grand claims, incremental advances…well, that’s how science works but it can be rough going if you aren’t steeped in the details. Small steps, lots of debating, reproducing studies, critical evaluation, skepticism…and if the data says we’re wrong, then we change our minds, because truth trumps belief every single time.
Bri, I appreciate your point of view. For the record, I don’t charge for this- it’s just something that has worked for me. I encourage everyone to make the best decision for themselves. We are all different and have different needs as well as ideas/beliefs about what is “healthy”. I’m not here to try to convince anyone of anything, merely share my experience in case it resonates.
These recipes look wonderful! Anxious to try as many as possible. I noticed in some of the recipes that you use tofu. I don’t like tofu so I was wondering if you could recommend a substitution
Hi Cindi…thanks for your comment. Depending on the dish- you could substitute whole beans, fish, chicken breast ( are you vegetarian?). But I guess I want to challenge you a bit here and see if you could give tofu, an honest try. 🙂 Yes, it’s an acquired taste/texture, I totally get it, but I bet, if seasoned well, you may eventually come to enjoy it? Good luck and let me know how it goes!
Excellent menu recipes! I’ll certainly give it a try soon, my personal challenge would be stay away from cappuccino and cookies at breakfast 🙂
Thanks again for sharing!
Thanks Manuela! Yes, fortunately, we ate all the cookies during the holidays, so its easier when they are not right in front of me!
Really impressed to see these wonderful creations…feeling connected as I have a similar style/approach to create something healthy, cross-cuisine & ofcourse delicious!
Great presentation & pics! First time on your site. Will definitely try some…
