Group Detox

My Group Detox Program is about food being delicious and healthy. You don’t have to feel deprived or hungry to reduce inflammation, increase energy and lose weight. Don’t have time to cook? Through cooperative cooking, the group shares the cooking responsibilities – cook only once for the entire group and receive meals for the remaining days!

DETOX. This two-week program is designed to make the detox process accessible and safe for everyone. Week One emphasizes preparing the body by reducing and slowly omitting certain inflammatory foods. The first week ends with a two-day smoothie diet, which includes three nutritious smoothies per day, plus approved snacks (if needed). Week Two follows a detailed meal plan with delicious recipes that focus on organic whole foods that help the body release toxins and restore health.

MEET. The group environment makes detoxing fun and social, while also providing built-in accountability. Two meetings include delicious food tastings, educational content and cooking demos while building a community.

CONNECT. A private Facebook group keeps you connected to your support network throughout the program. This platform is your resource for moral support, specific questions, and nutritional information. Daily posts cover topics such as nutrition, wellness and cooking techniques.

COOK. A one-week meal plan features 21 delicious organic whole food-based recipes. Each meal plan is seasonal and includes detailed recipes, grocery lists and step-by-step cooking instructions. Cooperative cooking means you’re not slaving away in the kitchen. Cook once for the entire group and get meals delivered to your door for the rest of the week!

EAT. Eat delicious food and feel satiated while detoxing (yes, it’s possible)! Expand your palate and try new foods that nourish your body, reduce inflammation and help restore health.

My name is Rebecca Warkol. I am an internist in Old Greenwich. I just saw one of my patients (can't tell you who because of HIPPA) who has seen you. I just want you to know that this is the first time that her blood sugar has gone down since she has been my patient. I am so happy. I have been trying to help her with her diet for several years. I went through your program with her and it sounds excellent. I spend my day talking about the importance of food and exercise, so I get it!

Thank you for running such a great detox program and fitting me in to your May group! It seems surprising to me that we already completed the program, but I am happy to say that I am motivated to stay with the program on my own for a while longer - and on to 80-20 after that!
This was a great reset for me in terms of thinking about what it is I eat - both as far as what I should avoid, but maybe more importantly what to include in my diet. I tend to put more thought in to my kid's lunch boxes than my own lunch. I am also excited to try out some of the recipes on my family - I know there are some they will enjoy too.
The most noticeable difference to me while on the detox was the reduction of inflammation in my body. I also appreciated loosing some pounds long the way, and hope to be able to continue that trend.
Thank you - I will be back in the fall or next spring for sure!

This is the real deal - was a great two weeks (started as 1 week but the whole group didn't want it to stop). Enjoyed the sense of community, the shared cooking, the positive effects (lost a few pounds), the varied menu and the clever (cashew based) sweets and the encouragement/guidance/knowledge from Tracy - wasn't too intensive or restricting. And it really works: by chance I had a blood test 2 weeks prior to the cleanse and so decided to get another on the last day of the cleanse to see if there was a difference in the blood test. The results were impressive: cholesterol went from 240 to 188; glucose went from 90 to 77; and BUN from 20 to 11. Thanks Tracy - will do it again next year, or perhaps even the end of this one.

I did Tracy's Detox Program In November for 2 weeks. My goal was to lose weight, feel and look more energized. I have lost 7 pounds and have reduced my caffeine intake to just one coffee a day, i am loving a healthier diet and have managed to stay wheat free since the end of the diet. Bread, coffee, chocolate and alcohol intakes were a big part of my diet and they are far less now. I loved the group approach to the diet, it was fun cooking for a group once a week and receiving the food most days, meant that the diet could be followed precisely and therefore was far more affective. Tracy provided us with all the cooking and ingredient instructions and was always just an email away if we had questions. I thoroughly enjoyed this diet (!) and will happily do it again in the New Year.

I did Tracy's January Detox -it was awesome! I had previously thought of myself as a relatively healthy eater. I now know that I had a lot of room for improvement. I have become much more mindful of what I consume. In the weeks leading up to the start of the detox, I was dreading it. I thought I would be miserable, hungry and deprived. In reality, I ended up enjoying it. It was fun, social and mind opening. I didn't have a specific goal in mind when I initially signed up. I then managed to put on a few stubborn pounds over the holidays. The extra pounds melted away during the detox. By integrating some of Tracy's healthy suggestions, I have been successful keeping the weight off without feeling deprived. I highly recommend her program to anyone who is interested in improving the quality of their dietary regime.

I participated in the January Group Detox program hoping to shed a few holiday pounds. I successfully lost those pounds AND I gained some great recipes, tips & knowledge. First of all, the group setting is fantastic - the group, led by Tracy, is an amazing support system. With a group setting, I found I didn't cheat, as I would have on my own. Second, the program is gentle - there are no crazy gimmicks or juice fasts here! There is a sensible method of eliminating the bad, and emphasizing the good. The first week is all about eliminating various toxins, so that when we enter week 2 and really focus on a specific eating plan, we are ready. The second week, with the meal plan is really amazing. Tracy outlines the cooking step by step, so it's not overwhelming. I loved all of the food and the recipes. I've come away with a lot of great ideas and healthy eating habits for me, which I will use going forward and will also share with my family.

I was somewhat daunted by embarking on the detox program, but Tracy prepared us so well and the regular group meetings were very helpful. I loved having someone turn up on my doorstep each day with 3 ready-made healthy meals which made the program so easy to stick to. Our group ended up extending the meal plan by another week, as we were enjoying it so much! Whilst I was hoping to lose a few pounds - I lost 5, my biggest health benefit was banishing the painful breast cysts that have been troubling me for years. I will definitely do the program again and am much more aware now of the importance of eating fresh and organic foods. Thanks Tracy.

I did Tracy's Detox Program in November for 2 weeks. My goal was to lose weight, feel better and start to change a few bad habits and it worked well on all counts. By the end of the detox I felt clear skinned, clear eyed, more energetic and lighter. The group setting worked really well. Tracy provided us with detailed instructions, shopping lists and menus and we each took turns to make the group's food for one day of the week - and looked forward to our deliveries for the rest of the week! Tracy provided us with great information and support and delicious healthy snack samples. Working within the group was fantastic and made the process so enjoyable. I was actually sad when it ended.

I recently did the January Detox and it was excellent. I learned so many new healthy recipes and discovered a passion for green smoothies. The program really taught me a lot about healthy conscious eating and I've been able to carry a lot of it into my daily life!
