Book Released September 2010!
Detox diets and clean eating plans are all the rage right now in the weight loss arena but many of these diets promote the practice of fasting and total avoidance of many vital nutrients, which not only starves your brain and makes you grumpy, it is down right dangerous to your over all health and well-being. Unlike these restrictive-style diets, the Desert Detox Diet provides fresh, whole, nutrient-dense foods that were chosen for their natural healing and detoxifying properties, their superior nutritional benefits, and their ability to satisfy hunger. You will not only lose waste and weight, you will feel great in the process.
The Desert Detox Diet has two focused phases; the 3-Day Transitional Cleanse & Detoxification Phase and the 30-Day Clean Eating for Life Phase.
Phase 1 – The 3-Day Transitional Cleanse & Detoxification Phase is a soft, natural experience in body cleansing with an emphasis on altering dietary practices to give your body a chance to eliminate toxic waste build-up while forming a new found “back to nature” relationship with food. While providing a jump start to your weight loss efforts, this phase will revitalize your body, mind, and spirit by connecting you with natural, life-giving, nutrient-dense foods while weaning you from the commercially refined-processed foods that are weighing you down and literally zapping the life out of your body. You’ll experience improved colon health, purge accumulated toxins and strengthen and improve your bowel movements giving your digestive system the fibrous boost it needs for creative waist management.
During this 3-Day Phase you won’t be asked to fast on liquids, buy processed frozen foods or administer colonic’s on a daily basis. Instead, you will enjoy soothing and cleansing teas, whole rich fruit and vibrant vegetables bursting with enzymes, hearty soups & stews and restorative fruit and vegetable juices designed to provide nutrients that support and protect the liver, the main organ involved in detoxification. You will keep a steady flow of life-giving nutrients pouring into your body as you excrete toxic waste build-up from your body.
Phase 2 – The 30-Day’s to Clean Eating for Life Phase continues to provide you with vibrant, nutrient-dense, life-giving foods that encourage healthy elimination, improve energy levels and promote optimal digestion while teaching you nutrition and exercise strategies for reaching your maximum fat burning potential. You will learn how to eat to manage insulin response for safe and effective weight loss and how to create and maintain healthy-lean menus for life. During this phase you will re-introduce plant and animal proteins into your meals and begin to learn the secret of cycling starchy carbohydrates for maximum fat loss.
As you create a healthy, strong, and lean physique with the Desert Detox Diet Principles, you will learn a host of information for successfully changing your lifestyle that includes:

Antony A., Entrepreneur, Los Angeles, California “I am so inspired by your wonderful recipes and program. The Desert Detox Diet has provided so much happiness to my life and will do so for many years to come, I am extremely satisfied and feel the best I have ever felt, clean and pure. I have lost 15 pounds over the last 4 weeks, my pants are loose, and I have found myself trying on clothes I have not been able to fit into for a while, in fact, I have a full new wardrobe ready and waiting! The recipes are simple, flavorful and delicious. The menus kept me extremely satisfied and I have not had cravings for any other food. I do not like bad food anymore, I could totally do without it, in fact, I crave the food in your program. This has been such a natural experience for me, what a change; it’s nice to turn this corner!”
Agnes Pasion, Registered Polysomnography Technician, American Canyon, California “I’ve struggled with my weight for 10 years. In the past if I did not see results right away from joining the gym, I gave up but this time it was different. I lost 12 pounds, my stomach has dropped in size, my jeans are fitting better, and because I saw results right away, it motivated me to stick with it. To me this was not really a diet but a change in eating habits. It’s more like adjusting your relationship with food and making the right choices. The food was very good and super easy to prep. The Desert Detox Diet is a very easy way to get in shape. I plan on sticking to this way of eating, not only because I am loosing weight, but also because of what it has done for my skin. I use to suffer from adult acne. I tried everything to have clear skin with minimal results. After eating healthy, I totally see a difference! As a result, not only am I getting in shape and shedding fat, my skin glows and so does my self-esteem. I am so grateful and want to thank you Cathy for changing my life”
Sallie Fraser, Palm Desert, California “I was thrilled to lose a total of 8 inches from my waist, hips, and legs in just 4 weeks. The Desert Detox Diet was easy to follow and I wasn’t ever hungry. The recipes were great and I did not have my usual craving for sweets and chocolate. I felt good during the 4 week period and had energy to keep up with my work and exercise schedule. Thank you Cathy, I am inspired to stay on this healthy eating plan.”
Becky Nicholson, Physical Therapist Assistant, Geneva, Ohio “I lost 15 pounds on the Desert Detox Diet and went from a size 16 pants to a 12. I have had to buy new clothes and my shoes are even too big for me now! I feel great about participating and I learned a lot, in fact, I don’t think I’ll ever buy anything again without reading the label first. Resisting some of my favorites has been hard, but I also enjoy them more when I have them now. I no longer really crave “junk” food and I am grateful for that added benefit. Now that I have a better foundation, I will be able to implement permanent changes in my shopping and food preparation, which should help my family live a healthier lifestyle as well. I appreciate all of the work you put into this and I want you to know how much I appreciate being able to participate.”
Vjosa Pacuku, Mac Make-Up Artist, Hollywood, California “I want to tell you that you have changed my life! I feel amazing; healthier, lighter and cleaner. My stomach is flatter, and the cellulite on the back of my legs is gone already. My jeans fit better, less tight, and I actually had to give away a shirt because it was so baggy on me. A friend of mine who hasn’t seen me in 2 months saw me today and she couldn’t stop asking me what am I doing to look slimmer and I said, “you can buy the book on this detox soon, LOL.” Before the Desert Detox Diet I would go days, sometimes weeks, without having bowel movements and now I am regular and because of this, not bloated. I have felt satisfied nutritionally, I’m not hungry, and I don’t have any food cravings.”
Jackie & Derek Lloyd, Palm Desert, California “My husband and I are very happy that we participated in the Desert Detox Diet and we are committed to the new eating and exercise habits that we started. We lost a combined 19 pounds in the first three days of the cleanse, which motivated us to keep up with it. The menus were easy to follow, and surprisingly delicious. It took a couple of days to get used to our new portions, but now we finish meals completely satisfied. The exercise regiment took a real commitment, but when our clothes started to fit better (and then worse!), it wasn’t hard to keep at it. We see the Desert Detox Diet as more of a change of eating and exercise habits, which has enabled us to keep the 37 pounds that we lost off 60 days later.”
Marty Jaeger, Police Officer, Columbus, Ohio “I have lost 12 pounds, 10 1/2 inches and 7% body fat on the Desert Detox Diet. I feel lighter and mentally feel clear, and more focused. I have more energy than normal, my appetite is stable and I have felt no hunger pains or bad temptations. I’ve been extremely happy with the diet and like the structure of your program. I feel very good and have increased my weight training. I am confident that this diet will go a long way in my selection of proper foods to eat in the future and to be very aware of portions and timing. I’m starting to feel the benefits of the diet and workouts and have the confidence to continue this as a lifestyle change. Thanks sharing this life changing diet and way of life with me.”
Maria Pasqualone “I didn’t have much to lose but I did lose 6 pounds and when I started I was wearing a “snug” size 5 and now I am slipping into a size 2 jeans! I feel GREAT! Pretty soon I’ll have a legitimate excuse to go shopping.... YAY! All of the meals were SO YUMMY! ”
David Pasqualone, Stonegate Mortgage Regional Manager, Columbus, Ohio “I lost 36 pounds and 10% body fat following the Desert Detox Diet. Multiple people have told me that I look great and they can tell that I have lost a significant amount of inches. My clothes are falling off so I am going to have to buy a new wardrobe or invest in a tailor... the principles of the Desert Detox Diet have changed my body and my life forever.”
