CHALLENGE

This article is based on Dr. Rudy & Jeanie Davis’ DVD presentation
“Life in the Fast Lane - the 21-day Challenge” from the series Healthy
From Inside Out.

aturopathic doctors Rudy and Jeanie Davis have developed a sensible do-it-yourself detoxification plan that
they have successfully used for over a decade to help
patients regain their health. Their 21-Day Challenge consists
of three weeks of eating a well-balanced nutrient-dense diet
followed by a three-day water fast.

Are you tired
of doing the
same things
with the same
poor results?

The 21-day diet supercharges the cells of
the body with nutrients from a range of
super-foods and kick-starts the body’s
cleansing process.

The three-day water fast, which follows
the 21 days of healthy eating, frees up
energy that would normally be spent on
digesting food and provides your body with time to use
the nutrients you took in during the 21 days to repair and
rebuild tissues.
Rudy Davis says, “People who have gone on this program
say it has changed them forever.” Are you tired of doing the
same things with the same poor results? Are you interested
in changing your life? Then maybe it’s time you
tried the 21-Day Challenge.

Part 1: The 21 Day Program
Here is what you need to do for the 21 days
leading up to the fast.

1

- Increase Water
For 21 days increase the amount of water you drink to 6
cups per day. The brain is 85% water and even slight dehydration can raise stress hormone levels which, over time can
damage both the brain and the body.

2

- Increase Raw Food Intake
Cooked foods dominate most eating plans. To vitalize
your body and begin the restorative process, begin eating
more raw foods than cooked. Raw foods should make up
eighty to ninety per cent of your diet.

Cooked foods slow down life processes and accelerate aging.
Eliminate all animal products, sugar, white flour, heat-damaged oils, and all processed foods.

3

- Eat Less
You should eat about two to three cups of well-chewed
food per meal; no more.

4

- Consume Foods That Provide Optimal Nutrition
Eat a wide variety of fresh fruits and vegetables.
• Choose organic foods as much as possible.
• If you can’t get organic foods or can’t afford to buy organic
foods, ask the Lord to bless your food. He can make it better than organic.

5

- Consume Good Fats
DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) is an omega-3 fatty acid
making up a large portion of the grey matter of your brain.
Fatty acids are half the weight of the brain. During the 21
days of optimal nutrition, eat only good fats. Don’t eat any
margarine, butter, mayonnaise, or vegetable oil.
Include only cold-pressed nutritional oils to
ensure optimal nutrition for your brain. If
you’re not getting enough essential fatty acids,
you’re not experiencing optimal brain activity. A good source of balanced fatty acids is
Udo’s DHA Oil Blend. The DHA comes from
seaweed, not fish.

Other sources of good fats to include in your diet for 21 days
are avocadoes, cashews, brazil nuts, flaxseed, green leafy vegetables, olive oil
