The UltraShake

This shake makes for a quick, delicious breakfast as well as a filling and enjoyable snack you can eat any day on the program, either for your morning meal or for a snack. The UltraShake provides essential protein for detoxification, omega-3 fatty acids from flax oil, fiber for healthy digestion, increased elimination from flaxseeds, and antioxidants and phytonutrients from the berries and fruit. It will sustain you, even out your blood sugar, and help you control your appetite throughout the day. It does require that you invest in rice protein powder. I prefer detoxifying hypoallergenic rice protein. While it can be expensive, it replaces meals and facilitates your detoxifying and weight loss during the week. My favorite is UltraInflamX by Metagenics. You can find details on this product in Section 10, where I discuss supplements.
