Well, hello there! Welcome to Go Clean, Sexy You and join the revolution. Yes.

Revolution. What youll find in this book is not just a bunch of recipes (which are trs delicious, in fact) but a whole philosophy on how to live your life healthy, happy, and overall free of numbers like calories and grams. Our culture is obsessed with weighing, calorie counting, and other negative ways to treat our bodies. Its time to stop, and Ill show you how. More and more people are starting to make another choice, a choice to take charge and listen. And Im hoping you join us.

Who do we listen to? Our bodies. Our bodies have the answer for healing us. Our bodies know what we truly need to live optimally healthy lives. Our bodies know what is best for us, whether it comes to food, our relationships, our work, and our dreams. Our bodies pump blood without our knowing, breathe for us, keep us alive no matter what. Our bodies love us unconditionally.

When we choose to push and struggle, our bodies fight even harder to keep us in balance. Our minds can be so powerful, taking charge of our beautiful, wise bodies; analyzing every number on the scale (which we all know, if its not the number we want, we are in a bad mood for the rest of the day); Googling the latest quick fix; and constantly thinking of ways to fit into that dress size again. Our minds self-criticism and perfectionism can take over and override the bodys messages. Im here to support you in taming your mind so you can hear what your lovely body is trying to tell you. Youll be able to overcome the obstacles that leave you feeling exhausted every afternoon, that cause you to repeat unhealthy habits that keep you struggling, and that prevent you from losing those last ten pounds. As you navigate through the seasons with my whole foodbased detox plans, youll tap into your bodys wisdom; form sustainable, healthy habits; and develop a positive, loving, respectful relationship with your body.

There are tons of detox benefits you will be able to reap, but the most important lesson is that you can be free of the chains that keep you stuck and never feeling good enough. This takes time, and Im here to hold your hand during your wellness journey. The Go Clean, Sexy You revolution is growing bigger each day, with thousands of women (and some cool dudes) listening to their bodies, feeling at ease, and living full, beautiful lives. When you live the Go Clean, Sexy You way, you embody true connection to your body. Thats why listening constantly to what your body tells you will be the biggest part of your journey. A few months ago, a friend and I were joking around, and he said something that cracked me up.

But then his comment hit home: You cant really be sexy unless you are clean. Absolutely. Being clean simply means putting healthy, whole foods into your body; making decisions with integrity; associating with those people who fuel you, not bring you down; and managing stress with activities that bring you back to balance. When you are clean, you feel light. You have a sparkle in your eyes and glowing skin. Your thoughts are positive and loving, especially toward yourself.

As you walk with confidence because you are clean and light, well, that is true sexiness. Everyone will want what you have. You become a role model for your family, friends, coworkers, and even strangers. My client Michelle S. from Brooklyn, New York, posted this message, and its a testament to our mission: Good morning, sexy beasts!!!Just dropping a line about how inspiring and amazing each of you are. Every day we make the decision to respect our bodies and lavish them in delicious clean, whole foods.

And because we cheerfully tote our water bottles and healthy habits out into the world, OTHER people also reap the benefits!I was reminded of this when a coworker mentioned that she notices my meals for lunch and she has begun to rethink the way she eats. She even challenged herself to switching from soda to water this week!There is no telling how many secret admirers you have, but even if they dont join the revolution immediately, one thing is for sureyou are planting a seed. Continue being amazing and sharing your love for healthy hearts, minds, and bodies!xoxoMS I invite you to join our Go Clean, Sexy You revolution. As you learn how to connect with your body during the year, youll certainly feel clean and sexy. Plus youll plant seeds and inspire others to take care of themselves.
