Marie-Josée Parent: “ Hello! I've often tried tons of things and I always give up. This new detox is perfect because I'm motivated right now... motivated because I'm overweight, I feel heavy, I have inflammation, I hurt everywhere and when I say everywhere I mean from head to toe and I feel really bad, unhealthy. I want it SO MUCH to work. I believe in it 100%. I have confidence in your products and in Jacynthe! I officially start tomorrow morning Wednesday! I already have almost everything I need. I'll give you my news at the end of this detox! I can't wait to talk about the BEFORE and AFTER! Thank you for EVERYTHING and especially for these magnificent videos which are so inspiring!!!”
Ginette Helie: " Hello addicts, my first day. When I got up, I did my beauty ritual. Then I had my yellow juice (a sip), then essential fiber with black cherry juice, then a yellow fruit smoothie. I'm waiting for my bulk salad, for dinner with an MJ kale and spinach soup. I already feel full of energy. Oh! Yes, I also had a coffee with MCT oil. - The detox is going really well. I haven't missed a day. I'm proud of myself. It makes me experience beautiful emotions, joy among others. Next year, I'll definitely do it . I've become aware of a lot of things, like the taste of sugar, eating more good fats. Since August, I've been part of this beautiful community that allows me to elevate myself a little more. The detox, which I will surely do next year, has allowed me to realize a lot of things, that changes in my diet were necessary. Having been vegetarian, it wasn't difficult. I'm like Sylvain, I pay attention to my diet, I take MJ vitamins and supplements. Of course, after the detox, I continue to eat salad before meals. The morning ritual with yellow juice, fiber, yellow smoothie, coffee with collagen and MCT, I keep this routine. I feel so good on all levels: physical (stretching, walking twice a day for 2 years), mental (depressive tendency), spiritual (for me the most important). Thank you Jacynthe for everything. I'm 67 and I feel like 50 . Claire Charland: " For several months, I have incorporated several routines into my daily life, including complete collagen, Tonic Yellow, rice protein, MCT oil, coupled with regular gym sessions and long walks. I was proud of my successes and full of energy!! Since the gyms closed and the winter cold, I lost my bearings. But since yesterday, seeing Jacynthe's overflowing energy doing her exercises at home has encouraged me to create my own routine! It's the boost I needed!! A big thank you!!" Marie-Pier Ouellet : “I feel so much better, well nourished, energetic. The collagen, the whole food, my proteins and all my supplements make a huge positive difference in my well-being. And what about the workouts on MJ Tonic! I feel boosted for going back to work and playing with my daughters.” Dominique Lafleur : "For about a year, I've changed my diet. Salad, fiber, amiodarone, whole grain, TCM oil, avocado... exercise. I lost 25 pounds. I'm back to the size I was before my two pregnancies at 48. I feel great!" Josée-Anne Bernatchez : “ For the past year, I haven’t been able to live without salad! It’s life-changing. ” Martine Charpentier : “ My teenagers loved the MJ protein bars!!! A great way to help supplement their diet.” Amélie Caron : " Your rice protein is the only protein powder I can digest! And I can assure you that I've tried many different types of protein on the market, and I've always had digestive problems and bloating. Thank you for your great products!" Philippe Nadeau : " It's true that even for men, weight can be very self-conscious! This eating plan has helped me a lot. I've lost 30 lbs in a year and a half and I have so much energy!!!" Marie-eve Aubin : " I've lost 16 pounds with this lifestyle. I've introduced essential fibers, metabzen, green tea, collagen, and the whole thing. Of course, I'm moving and I've eliminated sugar from my life, but I have, yes, regained my figure, which I've wanted to regain for a long time without success, but I have an intense energy that I haven't had for a very, very long time. Thank you for allowing us these products, but for sharing the knowledge that has allowed me to find myself again." Johanne Patry : " I started the superfoods: complete collagen, protein meal bar and salad. I started training again 2 months ago and I'm not eating super well yet, but I have energy like I've never had before, which encourages me to go further, thank you." Sylvia Ta-pe: " When we came back from the mountains, my husband, who is also participating in the challenge, prepared chicken for us with the salad and classic sauce chosen by Sofia. Excellent!!! Sofia, a loyal little Maison Jacynthe addict, is also participating in the challenge. Today, we went on a 4-hour family hike in the mountains to continue adopting good habits that will help us stay in shape. Pépito accompanied us with a vanilla protein shake + collagen + MCT + Nigella seeds + macadamia milk." Chantal Primeau: “ This challenge is so motivating! It syncs perfectly with “dry January” (January without alcohol) and my 16-hour intermittent fasts that I also started again this January 2nd, as well as my year-round cold showers and my meditation sessions. The too much sugar consumed during the holidays gave me physical pain and fatigue. After 3-4 days without sugar or too many carbohydrates (max 30g) I already feel detoxified and my body stops asking for it. Today was my Day 1 of the gourmet detox challenge here and it’s the first time I’ve eaten the bulk salad and Jacinthe vinaigrette. Wow! What a great way to break the fast around 1:30 p.m. with this salad, nuts, egg and the shot of yellow juice. I’m finding my energy and vitality again. It’s already bliss! I’m also incorporating the exercises.” I used the dressing to marinate the chicken for dinner. Tomorrow I will break my fast with the Complete and Collagen. And I am making another order of bulk salad, chocolate protein and essential fiber (and muffin mix if they are back). Thank you for your posts, beautiful community, you inspire me a lot! » Rachele Lévesque Parsons: “ Since starting MJ I have incorporated the yellow juice every morning…I start with the fiber and then the yellow juice. And if I am hungry I eat my breakfast. But now I have been adding rice protein for a few months because I need to add protein to my diet. And I like it. I have difficult digestion so these products help me. I am going to try the new proteins… I am 67 years old and I have adopted several of their products. I have started cycling every day again and doing yoga stretches… Thank you for everything.” Julie Jeanne Gaudreau: “ I just saw the detox challenge that Jacynthe is offering tomorrow and so I decided to humbly share my story here with you, dear addicts. I won't even post it on my own FB page. I discovered Maison Jacynthe a little over two years ago. This planted a seed in me to want to change my life for the better. It started with a facial at the Montreal house. Then came facials (serums), several readings and the trigger was. So I did what spoke to me to make a difference. So in December 2020 I took the plunge towards a healthier diet. After a month of healthier eating, I decided to take my courage in both hands and weighed myself... 184 lbs for 5'-3 which probably means more at the beginning of my adventure and I didn't want to know. This morning on the scale I am now at 150 lbs. I simply wanted to share my little happiness with you. You have to know how to listen to yourself and above all love yourself. A big thank you also to Jean-Yves Dionne because he helps me a lot in his explanations on the ketogenic mode and to respect Jacynthe because even though I am not vegan or vegetarian there is a respect for what suits us and I do not feel judged. If this can help you, a little boost, a spark that will make you click that I had my mission of 2022 will already be largely fulfilled. Happy New Year 2022 dear addicts. Take care of yourselves. ** I looked for a long time for photos of me in full... sorry for the crappy hat, it's pretty good, one of the only photos of me that I had of me in full before my transformation and two of me at the Christmas party at the Château Frontenac 3 or 4 years ago... the front and back of me in a blue dress was taken this summer. Virginie Gonthier: " Hello Jacynthe, I started the lifestyle you propose about three years ago. I have regained energy and I have a better awareness of my body. As soon as I consume something that is "empty" I immediately feel the impact it has on me. I have regained my size before my two pregnancies and I feel ready for pre-menopause, I know that with the supplements it will help me. I feel well equipped to get through time! It's so simple and caring. Thank you. " Fred Michaud: " (Lack of essential fiber, complete and chlorophyll sweet mint in the photo) for me a "detox" lifestyle involves a healthy diet, healthy thoughts and a healthy skin routine. I find it very important that the three come together. I only recently discovered the lifestyle that Jacynthe offers and it did me so much good to discover it since it meets an ideal that I had long set for myself. How lucky to have this lifestyle presented without even having to create it, here it is presented in all its splendor. Discovering Jacynthe, it's as if a world that I had been looking for for a long time was open to me. Seeing her so fulfilled, in her lifestyle, gave me the right to be the person I want to be, even if it differs from those around me. Whether it was by reading ''Breathe Happiness'', listening to her shows ''Vive'', her live shows and all other videos, Jacynthe allowed me to want to feel like a Woman in my role as a woman. She allowed me to see things very differently. Nothing happens for nothing, I know it and I discovered it at an opportune moment in my life. So I am doing the ''Detox'' challenge, accompanied by my mother and my boyfriend, to once again anchor this magnificent way of life in mine. Thank you very much for all the good you do for us Jacynthe, your authenticity allows others to achieve their goals. Annie Miller: " Happy turn July 2017, I was 41 years old. I had just, a year before, met my soul mate, my other half, the one who is perfect for me, the one who asked me to become his wife that summer. Without knowing it, that day the long-awaited life was settling in, a little flower, which took up residence in the cozy little nest that I prepared for it month after month. Immense joy, exponential happiness, my heart already swollen with unconditional love: I was going to be a mother. And suddenly: realization in a surge of panic. I was 41 years old, I was pregnant and I was putting products whose compounds were unknown to me and unpronounceable on my body and face... suddenly terrified that these products would affect my baby of love. I emptied my (yes yes "my") cabinets of all these products that cost me a fortune. Light: but why had I never had this realization before. Yet I am an intelligent, critical and informed woman... while happily emptying my cabinets, I came across my after-sun serum, my Soyeuse and my bobôme! I went without delay to MJ in Ste-Thérèse and I restocked my cabinets Ah there I was good. I felt safe. Today all, ALL, my personal care products (face, body, hair, ...) are MJ products. I would not back down a single step. When I was pregnant, I had very mild gestational diabetes. New awareness. I learned about carbohydrates... and their effects. I changed my eating habits and told myself it was for good. Our daughter arrived in the spring of 2018 and we got married in the summer of 2018. Between my professional responsibilities and my role as a new mother, landscaping work on the house and all the daily hustle and bustle, I forgot about myself. I made organic purees for my daughter, I scrupulously evaluated the nutritional quality of everything I gave her, but I didn't take the same care for myself. Later, when I had the time, my whole being vibrated for my heart, which had now left my body and was rocking in my arms. Summer 2021: small isolated episode of tachycardia (nothing serious ). Panic. Realization: I absolutely have to be fully and completely healthy. I'm a mom and I want to be here with my husband and my daughter. I never want to leave my daughter. I don't want to be torn away from my family. I want to fully enjoy every moment of this life and be at my best. By chance, I watch a video between Jacynthe and Valérie Dussault, nutritionist. That evening, I immediately contacted Valérie. That night, I read a lot about vitamins, proteins, and nutrition. And the next day I went to MJ: I stocked up on supplements and superfoods. By the way, I buy all the apothecaries (that's not a turn of phrase, I really bought them all... intense like that ) I wouldn't do without them anymore. They accompany my family on a daily basis. They are my base, my security in these let's say uncertain times. I receive the wise and so versatile advice and marked by great openness from Valérie. She makes things easy. I listen to the lives that Jacynthe offers us and once again, with all her openness to the different food choices of everyone, I am able to take what speaks to me, what motivates me, what makes me feel better. It's simple and caring. I am neither vegan, nor vegetarian, nor ketogenic. I am flexible and I like to add strings to my health bow: reducing carbohydrates and increasing the nutritional value of my foods, my ingredients and my meals. At MJ, I find ideas, tips, information, and great support that make my journey joyful, gentle, and simpler! Without knowing it, I've been participating in the Daily Gourmet Detox since last summer:- Tonic Juice in the morning on an empty stomach;
- Strawberry protein smoothie with cashew butter, collagen, and water (now I also alternate with a chocolate/vanilla shake with delicious MJ protein);
- For lunch, the bulk salad garnished with pecans, sunflower seeds, olives, TCM oil, with a source of protein (eggs, tuna, salmon, chicken, turkey, etc.) and a good vinaigrette. Sometimes, an apple, a clementine or berries for dessert and followed by a good infusion (tea or herbal tea. I tried Les Voyageurs offered by MJ: very good)
- For snacks: my version of Jonathan's muffins, nuts, a piece of cheese with raw vegetables, a protein-rich plant-based milk, etc.
- For dinner, a portion of bulk salad as an accompaniment to the main meal that I cook every evening with love for my precious family.
- I'm trying to integrate the Complete Diet but I'm having a little trouble. I sometimes let myself be won over by family treats (a pizza, a cake, chips, etc.) and I love these moments. To enhance the impacts of this beautiful diet, I add to my daily life:
- vitamin D
- Complex B
- Multi
- Omega 3
- Magnesium
- Silica and hair cocktail, alternately
- Collagen
- Vitamin C
- Zinc
- Green tea extract
- Brown rice protein
- Chocolate protein
- Vanilla Protein
- Avocado oil
- MCT oil
All that's left is to get back into training. For the first time in a year, I feel like I can get back to the more active life I had before. Thank you!
Chantal Fortin: “ Gourmet treat… I’m simply addicted to this vitamin-packed drink… I can’t wait for the next day! Complete + collagen (half citrus and half flavorless) all mixed with hot milk in my frother… yum, pure delight.”
Roxanne Joly: " A good salad received today before starting my dinner. I feel the effects of my body's detoxification today more than in previous days... Migraine and fatigue are the symptoms I have every time I remove carbohydrates from my body. I listened to myself and took a nap. I feel a little better, but I know that after this good bowl of nutrients, I will be revitalized. Happy detoxing everyone."
Johanne Brousseau: " Yellow juice is part of my daily routine now. It's a great boost to start a beautiful day. The bulk salad, or rather vegetables, is very tasty, and what can I say about the good practice of eating it every day before a meal. Thank you Maison Jacinthe, I live in the lower St-Laurent region, and the arrival of orders is of superior quality. I want to tame the complete collagen soon!"
Chantal Meunier: " Last day off, I treated myself to the full package. To start the day, tonic juice, matcha with collagen with total cuddle and MCT oil and fibers a little later. Prep for the shower, hair conditioner, dry brushing, first facial cleansing, chamomile water and exfopur, massage well and up in the shower. Floral shampoo and Floral shower gel When leaving, exfopur 10 mins with Soothing formula on spots and massage, rinse well. Cleansing oil and chamomile water, chamomile water and Tensor gel and gold serum. In the hair a little Soyeuse on the ends and Patchouli and Orange smoothing serum. For the body, I opted for choco-spice and Caramel Fir. For lunch it will be Jacynthe salad with a protein + my supplements as well as for dinner Jacynthe salad and protein. In the afternoon a good chaga and chlorophyll water. And 1/2 hour of exercise. Tonight it will be a cleansing ritual, but I will add a honey mask with a chocolate mask and hemp and chrysanthemum serum. In the evening, vitamin D, magnesium, and a probiotic. Before bed, my friend. Thanks MJ.
Marie-Pier Ouellet : " Salad, good fats, protein, whole grain, collagen, recipes. My body feels nourished and energized without any restrictions. On the contrary, it's all delicious, abundant, and vibrant."
