We had already consulted with Toby via telephone in early September so we kind of knew what to expect: eggs. Part of LVS' approach to heavy metal detox involves using fat and cholesterol which are effective in grabbing any metal toxins in the body. Tammy has been trying to eat 4 to 6 eggs per day for the past couple of weeks now and that emphasis on increasing cholesterol is going to continue here with protein shakes including a couple of raw eggs! Quite a dramatic change for us vegans!
The rest of the day included a wonderful lunch (last meal for a while for most of these folks!) and a couple of introductory lectures telling us what to expect over the 10 day program. There are 30 people in this program, which is about the average group size!
Most of the group took saunas between 4 and 6pm but Tammy's been exempted from this because of the effect of heat on her body just now. Instead, Tammy spent 5 minutes bouncing on a trampoline in the gym, per Toby's recommendation.

Day 1 ended at 8:30pm, when we were quite ready to sleep given that we're still just a little bit on Canadian time! Looking forward to that 5am walk and 6 am salt water flush? Not likely...

| Our cozy quarters. We had a bigger room at first, but this one came available last minute and is much closer to everything! |
