Notes

During Detox Week 3, be sure to omit the cheese completely. You may also need to omit the potato if you are excluding those, if that is the case use less water and perhaps add cauliflower maintain a thicker consistency.
Sprinkling sunflower seeds on top of your soup also helps with healing your PMS symptoms. Having pumpkin seeds during the menstuating and follicular phases of your cycle will help to support progesterone production in your luteal phase, as these contain high levels of zinc.
