You're wrapping up your first week of the Action Plan, but first you have to make it through the weekend. Today, assess your energy level, mood, and overall health since you started cleansing. Do you feel energized or sleepy? Fired up or frustrated?

"Food sensitivities can lead to lots of different problems -- like brain fog, anxiety, insomnia, digestive issues, and congestion -- so make a note if any of those symptoms seem to have improved," advises naturopathic physician Brooke Kalanick. And above all, don't judge whatever it is you do feel. Realize that a big change like this one can affect mind and body across the board.

On your drive (or ride) to work, turn on some soothing music -- or just sit in silence. When you come to a stop, use that moment of stillness to take a few slow, deep breaths. If you travel by public transportation, act as a "human tape recorder" by tuning into all the sounds around you, suggests mind-body expert Kate Hanley. "Because we tend to home in on just one sound, reversing the way we listen can give our brains a break and leave us more refreshed," she explains.

And stop! Ask yourself what's really causing your rant -- do you feel stuck? Resentful? The idea isn't to bury your feelings, but to get at the heart of what's bothering you most, and keep yourself from perpetuating a story rather than a solution to change whatever it is that's bothering you.

Each day this week, eat five or six small meals rich in fruit, vegetables, and other complex carbs. Supplement with organic, hormone-free animal protein if you want. A typical meal might be three ounces of protein (the size of a smartphone), 1/4 to 1/2 cup carbs (whole grains, sweet potatoes, or fruit), and unlimited nonstarchy vegetables like leafy greens. It might also be an apple with almond butter or a smoothie.
