Last week I shared with you the 5-Day Jump-Start Reboot detox program I participated in from Manuel Villacorta’s book Whole Body Reboot: The Peruvian Super Foods Diet to Detoxify, Energize, and Supercharge Fat Loss. If you missed any of the videos, you can find them here:
As far as detoxifying programs go, this one was pretty easy. Although didn’t always relish the the smoothies I was drinking, none of them were awful. And most days, they kept me feeling full and I didn’t require snacks to get through the day.
I lost about four pounds over the week and had a little bit of trouble digesting meat over the weekend — so I know it did a good job.
If you want to ease into detox program or a healthier way of eating, I’d recommend this 5-day Jump-Start Reboot.
Words of Caution
It may take some planning to prepare for this program. Not all the ingredients are ones you can find at a regular grocery store. You may need to shop around or even order online. To help you will the latter, here are some links to the various ingredients used in this cleanse that I had to order online:
- Day 1: Camu Camu Powder
- Day 3: Pichuberries (also called Golden Berries)
- Day 4: Lacuma powder (I opted not to use this ingredient)
- Day 5: Purple corn kernels (for the Chicha Tisane)

Changing your eating habits can be tough. But it doesn’t have to be if you take a little time to think it out and create a plan.

Then you can create your plan, knowing that you have addressed potential obstacles and came up with some creative ways to handle them.


“If you eat too quickly, your body will push you to keep eating, and you can overeat. When people eat too fast, they never feel satisfied. Take your time when eating and savor the flavors of your nourishing food.”
“In Peru, people take two hours on average for lunch. In the United States, we typically take five to ten minutes. I understand that not everyone has two hours during a workday. Nevertheless, we can take at least twenty minutes to sit down, chew our food, and be present in the act of eating.”
“Eating should be a time of relaxation, awareness and mindfulness.”
“Mindfully selecting, preparing and eating whole foods should be as cherished as the air we breathe.”
If you would like to try the program for yourself, here are some links to help you get started.
