questions about the 30-Day Total Health Makeover® program
I want to know more about ingredients in the recipes, and what to expect during and after the program.

What can I expect after 30 days on the Total Health Makeover?
Individual results will vary as the individual does. Typical results after following the 30-Day Total Health Makeover are weight loss, loss of a size or two in your clothing, clearer skin, better breath and body odor, reduced cravings and appetite, increased energy, and feeling of well-being. Not to mention the results in your cleaner and more organized home and closets, and your new look in clothes and make-up! The list goes on and on. I’m sure you will soon be adding to it yourself! The longer you stay on THM, the better you get! (back to top)
I’m following the 30-Day Total Health Makeover. What do I do when the 30 days are over?
When the thirty days are over you are going to be feeling and looking so fabulous we’re sure you’ll want to continue on and make this your lifestyle! Check out Marilu’s other books for more great recipes, tips, and information. You can create your own menus using Purple/Blue recipes for weight loss, Green for maintenance, and Yellow for special occasions and social events. Mix them up for a well-balanced week.

I’m a vegetarian and don’t eat fish or chicken. What should I eat instead?
There are plenty of vegetarian meals in the THM books. You may swap these tasty dishes with the fish or chicken meals, as desired. Our Message Boards are filled with support, ideas and suggestions for making this work. CLICK HERE FOR MESSAGE BOARD! (back to top)
I’m vegan. What should I eat instead of the meals with animal protein?
There are plenty of vegan meals in the THM books. You may swap the vegan dishes for the fish or chicken recipes, as desired, and use egg substitutes where eggs are suggested. Find additional support on our Message Boards. CLICK HERE FOR MESSAGE BOARD! (back to top)
When I'm done following the 30 days or an online class, can I go back to eating meat, dairy and sugar?
We think you will be so pleased with the results from your THM B.E.S.T.* body (*balance, energy, stamina, toxin-free), that you will choose to never go back to those health robbers again! THM is not intended as a short-term diet, but as a new way of eating – and living! Get support for your new way of eating by joining an online class! Click HERE for more information. (back to top)
What is Bragg's?
Bragg's Liquid Aminos is one of Marilu’s favorite seasonings and is sold in most grocery stores and natural food stores. It comes in a bottle; some bottles have a handy spray top. According to the label, it is a "formulated vegetable protein from pure soybeans and purified water only. [It] contains no preservatives, no coloring agents, no alcohol, no additives and no chemicals. [It] is also Kosher Certified and is not fermented." Most importantly, Bragg's tastes great (not too salty) and can be used on almost anything. It’s great on fish, scrambled egg whites, pasta (with a little bit of olive oil), and even lightly sprayed on air popped popcorn for a quick, healthy, nutritious snack. (back to top)
What is flourless grain bread?
Flourless grain bread is just another way of saying sprouted whole grain bread. If you can't find 100% sprouted grain bread (which is usually flourless), find the healthiest whole grain bread that is available to you and use that instead. Make sure it doesn't have dairy in it (of course). White flour (over-milled, over-processed) should be avoided as much as possible because it's very important for our bodies to have something to work on, i.e., chewing and digesting whole grains.

What is Miso?
Miso is paste made from soybeans and is an important ingredient in traditional Japanese cookery. Now widely available in this country, it contains all the essential amino acids and thus is an excellent protein booster. It also contains enzymes, lactic acid, and microorganisms that benefit the intestines; for this reason, it is helpful in the assimilation of complex carbohydrates such as grains and beans. It is generally used as a soup base and flavoring agent. Miso is also delicious in sauces, spreads, and dressings. Miso is available in the refrigerated section of your health food store.  (back to top)
What is food combining?
Simply put, food combining is eating your protein and your starch at different meals, and eating your fruit alone. The program makes it so easy, you won’t even realize you are doing it! There is more detailed food combining information in the Total Health Makeover, and following the 30-Day Total Health Makeover makes it easy – just follow the menus! (backto top)
