From the book "Quantum Wellness Cleanse"
Talk show host extraordinaire Oprah Winfrey has made no secret of her latest round in her ongoing battle of the bulge and after trying Kathy Freston's 21-day Wellness Cleanse the television staple sang its praises and even blogged about it.
In Freston's new book, "Quantum Wellness Cleanse," the bestselling author offers readers a away to lose weight and improve overall health by eliminating what she calls "the big five."
Freston claims ditching caffeine, gluten, sugar, alcohol and animal products for just 21 days will change your life by changing your tastes, curbing cravings and giving you more energy.
She believes her diet isn't about depriving yourself, but rather, replacing those foods with healthier choices.
