DETOX & WEIGHT LOSS
15 DAYS
This retreat has a minimum duration of 15 days and can be extended up to 20, 25 or 30 days.
Levels: Initiate and Intermediate
Are you tired of following complex diets and nutrition plans with fast results promises to lose/gain weight and still can’t get the intended results?
At Quintinha do Mar we believe that weigh oscillations may not have a direct and exclusive connection with the nutritional capacity of the food we eat. To gain or lose weight is also a reflexion of the way we relate with the act of eating itself and the food energy.
Anxiety, emptiness and lack of self-esteem are emotional factors that may determine a feeding compulsion. The individual seeks to fill a void or compensate an area of his life that’s out of balance, by eating big amounts of food in a short amount of time.

Conscious Kitchen – The importance of the food energy
“The best medicine is not the cure but the one that prevents the disease.”
The prevention of diseases depends in the maintenance of balance of yin and yang, of the energetic relations between flavours, of the food and associated organs.
“It is necessary to know the properties and actions of every food, in the flavour point of view, in the action over each organ and in the action over each body meridian. It is equally necessary to know how to mix ingredients in order to avoid contrary effects.”
Sichieri, R.
In our detox program we use the directives of the energy dietetic (Traditional Chinese Medicine) to diagnose** and establish a protocol** that looks at probable causes and takes care of the individual as a whole (emotional, physical, mental, … causes).
This program is an invitation to transform all your Bodies.
Physical and energetic body: Through the synergy of food, exercises and physical activities;
Emotional body: Traumatic events identification and resignification;
Mental body: Reprogramming thoughts and limiting beliefs.

By the end of 15 days we may observe positive changes. This program will give you the necessary support and impulse for you to implement healthier habits in your routine and who knows change your life completely.
You may choose to extend the presential program or participate in our online follow-up.
*The definition of which organs are in excess or deficiency, and the definition of the protocol to fortify and tone the involved organs, is obtained by the therapist from the diagnosis structured by the Five Elements Theory (Traditional Chinese Medicine).
What is detox?
As the name says it’s a detox, a purification, a cleanse, a sanitation of body, mind and emotions. Besides the cleanse we are going to have the chance to nourish your body.
Did you know that… The simpler the recipes the more nourishment to the body?
The less ingredients the body must process, the simpler the digestion, the easier will be the absorption of nutrients, allowing the digestive system to rest and, consequently, accelerate the vital regeneration of the body.
The simpler the food, the clearer our thoughts and the better prepared we’ll be to understand the subtleties of life.
How does it work?
As soon as we receive payment for the reservation, we will send you an ebook with guidelines for preparing for the retreat and we we’ll send a survey meant to gather your personal data and medical history information.
On the day of arrival, an introduction and preparation for detox will be made.
The diagnosis with the Chinese Medicine and Naturopathic Therapist and Naturopath – Rita Antão. After the evaluation a personalized detox plan will be designed following the orientations from the principles of the Traditional Chinese Medicine.
During the retreat detox tea, soups and juices/milkshakes will be served according to your diet plan. All meals are free from dairy, sugar and gluten. Stimulating and inflammatory drinks will not be served: coffee, alcohol and sugar.
