Joy dot: lilacs blooming everywhere

Hi Ally. Welcome!

I can't tell from your post if you took your time going through the steps and are just new to the forum, or if your are new to the program and did them quickly or all at once. If you did them quickly, it would be a good idea to spend some time now concentrating on each one to make sure they are very steady - they will support your staying detoxed.

After detox, most of us use natural peanut butter with no sugar added. You know, the kind you have to stir to mix the oil in when you first open the jar. As far as fruit juice is concerned, your body will tell you. I can't drink it, but I can use a little fruit juice in a recipe. Condiments are another area where it's an individual thing. I can use dijon mustard and regular mayonnaise, but I don't care for ketchup anymore and I won't use any kind of honey mustard sauce. Most fruits work for me, but I have them with meals, and I don't eat a lot of fruit. But there are other people who can't eat fruit.
