What Is It?

We challenge you to eliminate dairy from your diet for 10 days. That’s it…just 10 days!

Why Would I Do That?

Why not??? Milk protein allergies and lactose intolerance have been linked to a wide array of physical symptoms. For some, it is as simple as lethargy or weight gain, for others crippling migraines and "autoimmune" type symptoms are a lifestyle complication. There is a great deal of research linking dairy to prostate cancer, breast cancer, type 1 and type 2 diabetes, obesity, high cholesterol, heart disease…have we got your attention yet? We are not here to bash dairy, for some, dairy products may be completely benign, but for others, it can be a silent (or not so silent) killer. Check it out; see if a dairy-free or dairy-limited diet improves your quality of life. It has helped many of us, which is why we want to share this challenge with you. What is the worst that could happen? Absolutely nothing…you have no reaction, no change, you go back to your cheesy habits. What is the best that could happen? Your migraines subside, your cholesterol plummets, your energy increases, your body seems lighter, your stomach calms down, you just FEEL BETTER. Tempting? Give it a try, it’s easy.

Who Is It For?

Just about anyone! For those who may be allergic to milk or lactose intolerant (many more than you may think), it is essential that you consider a dairy-free lifestyle. However, even those who do not appear to have milk sensitivities may benefit through increased energy, easier more permanent weight loss, and increased muscle mass. We can hear a few hecklers out there hollering for more proof. There have been numerous research studies which evidence the benefits of a dairy free diet, and there have been some inconclusive ones as well. The fact is, we as humans share many common health traits, but we are all still individuals. The only study that can conclude what is absolutely best for your health is your own. Prove it to yourself! Just remember, it is always advised to speak with a doctor before any change in diet. If you have any health concerns, consult a physician. None of the information provided within this website should supersede the advice of your physician.

When Should I Try It?

Since it is only 10 days, you can try it virtually any time. However, there may be times that are easier than others. If you can, try to do the challenge during a period when your travel is limited, and when you do not have any scheduled family and friend food gatherings. For the veteran dairy-free "foodie", these occasions are no problem, but they can be tricky when you are just starting out. Browse this website for helpful tips throughout our extensive recipe, product review, grocery shopping, and dining guides.
