WHY MY WEIGHT LOSS DOCTOR'S PLAN IS NOT FOR ME

2019-04-09 · YouTube · Foodie Beauty · 18 min

Chantal explains why she is rejecting a weight-loss doctor's recommended plan (which emphasizes lower carbs and animal-based protein/fat including processed meats and cheese) in favor of attempting the Medical Medium 28-day Healing Cleanse: four weeks of only raw fruits and vegetables plus supportive practices (celery juice, smoothies, large salads, raw soups, meditations). She cites hormonal/ovarian cyst concerns and cancer links to processed meats as reasons the doctor's plan isn't right for her, describes the cleanse's sample menu, acknowledges difficulty given a history of binge-eating and addiction to animal products (especially cheese), and announces she will start the 28-day challenge with daily accountability videos, lighter exercise, and grocery shopping to prepare.
