This grilled tofu with cilantro pesto comes from Dr Mark Hyman’s 10 Day Detox Diet is really simple and delicious. This is a great vegan gluten-free dinner whether you are participating in the program or not. But, if you do do the detox, you will feel amazing.

I am totally basking in the afterglow of Dr Mark Hyman’s 10-DAY DETOX program. I’ve been sleeping better than I have in years and I have so much energy. I lost a bit of weight (that I gained on my trip to Italy and Spain) and my allergies (hay fever) have ceased as well. That is the power of rebooting your body and resetting your sugar levels. It is incredible.

As I mentioned in previous posts, that Dr. Hyman’s team picked Melissa Longmire and Rachel Joy Coleto to participate in the beta program from my callout on my Facebook page. We all took part in the detox together. They both enjoyed the detox and found it extremely beneficial.

Melissa wrote on Facebook: “I have struggled with my weight for over 10 years after having two children. Going from 160 pounds to 225…I stay within 220-226. I have very little strength when it comes having will power! Lack of support is a major downfall for me. I want to get back to how I was before children, back to being healthy! Back to feeling beautiful! Plus a challenge would be very welcomed!! As I love a competition even if it is with myself!”

After participating in the 10-DAY DETOX she said, “I was at 220 pounds at the start of the detox. Wasn’t as hard as I thought it would be. The recipes were great! Flavor were awesome! The whole thing was manageable. I only suffered caffeine headache withdraws for the first day and a half. I drank plenty of water. Even made some lemon, lime, & mint waters. I felt great the whole time, never felt weak or sick. I dropped only seven pounds but it is a great start. I’ve learned what to look for with ingredients, as well as getting my children to check the labels too.  I’m replacing bad sugar & ingredients with the healthier alternatives.”

Joy wrote a blog about her experience and was very active in Dr Hyman’s private Facebook group. On Facebook she wrote: “I am suffering from osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis and I am desperately searching for an alternative to the massive amounts of medication I am on. Some of the medications I am on caused me to gain weight, my metabolism has stopped and I need to reset my body. I need to do this detox to give my body a second shot at being healthy, overcoming illness and changing my body!”

After participating in the detox program, she said, “Wow…so the 10 Day Detox is completed and I have to say I am amazed at the results! In 10 days I have lost 11 pounds and 5.5 inches around my waist, hips, thighs, and arms. My inflammation has decreased by 90% and my pain levels have gone down tremendously. I have reduced my arthritis medicines from 4 to 2 and eventually I will be on none! Physically, I look and feel amazing but more so than that; emotionally and mentally I feel strong, empowered, and re-energized. This detox has truly redefined what it means to detox and to harness the power of food for what it was meant to do: nourish and heal our bodies. Whenever I heard the word detox: I thought of quick fixes, drinking disgusting liquids for 7 days straight, depriving myself of all solids, and eating foods that I didn’t like for the sake of ‘cleansing’. Dr. Hyman’s detox, however, was completely different. Dr. Hyman has created an amazing system that combines information and knowledge, great tasting foods, mental strengthening and relaxing techniques, and amazing supplements that all work together to re-start your body’s natural processes. I have increased confidence in my cooking skills and have more energy now than I have ever had on artificial energy drinks. I am down to two medications and look forward to stopping them all together! This has been a life changing experience and I am so grateful to have been chosen for this experience and to have met with all of you. I will definitely be continuing this after today!”

There were so many stories of incredible transformation like this in the private Facebook group. It was so inspiring. The power of food, exercise, meditation, and mindfulness is magical. And the recipes are delicious. This grilled tofu and cilantro pesto is so tasty. The best part about the recipes is that they are so quick and easy.

Rachel agrees. She said about the recipes, “So every day I am on this new way of life, I am noticing different things. I am a bonafide “foodie” and get so excited about new foods. Previously, I could not wait to try a new restaurant or to get take out and now I anxiously await each day to make a new recipe…I am my own restaurant.”

I highly recommend this book and program.
