Last November I decided to take a new approach to dieting. I heard about a lot of fad diets, cleansings and other ways to lose weight fast. I did some extensive research and I ended up with ISAGENIX. Yes it is a cleanse, but not one that should scare you away. It is a "Nutritional Cleanse". I gave it a shot. I gave it a 11 days. I am happy to say it worked. But it worked in ways that I never imagined. Not only did I lose 8lbs in 11 days. I lost 1 1/2 inches around my neck and I lost 2 belt loops. More importantly I felt great. My energy level was high. My attitude towards the little things was positive and I was making healthier choices of what went into my body. Do I still eat out and get a burger and fries? Yes. Do I still eat steak? Yes. Do I still have dessert? Yes. But I can only do this because of the smarter choices I make. Since November, I have had no soda, no fast food, no beer. I eat a lot more fish, salad and I don't usually snack on crap. Water and wine consume 90+ percent of my fluid intake. Overall, I feel great.
I want to share with everyone how my 1st 11 days went. I think this can be great start for people who want a change (how they feel) as the weather changes. It is called a 9 day cleanse, but to prepare myself I stretched it to 11 days. My plan is to do the 11 day program 2-3 times a year. And in between just maintain myself with smart eating decisions and exercise. So here is how the 11 day deal will look like.
Day 1 and Day 2: Isagenix Shake for Breakfast. A sensible meal for lunch (salad w/ grilled chicken, fish or lean meat). Isagenix Shake for dinner. In between meals I would snack on almonds and chocolate wafers (they supply the wafers). And finally the hydration part. Take your body weight, cut it in half, and drink that amount in ounces of water daily.
Day 3 and Day 4: These are the hardest 2 days. You drink 4 Liquid Cleanse For Life Drinks. It is not your normal cleanse drink because it has flavor, it has calories, it has vitamins, it has sugar and it has carbs. So for those of you thinking you are carb starving yourself, you are not. Again, in between the drinks you will snack on almonds, wafers and drink water.
Day 5, 6, 7, 8, 9: Same as Day 1 and 2. To be honest, I had days where I had to have dinner for work. What to do? Drink the shake for breakfast and lunch. And have the sensible meal for dinner. It was no problem. Were there days I was hungry? Yes. What to do? celery, cucumbers, half an apple, half a banana. Not often. Maybe once a day. Only if I needed it. On days 7 and 9 I had the shake for breakfast and lunch with salad and lean meats for dinner.
Day 10 and Day 11: Same as Day 3 and 4. To be honest again, by the 11 day I forgo the 4th cleanse drink and went right for a nice healthy meal.
Final Results: 8 lbs, 1 1/2 inches on neck and 2 belt loops. It has been 4 months and the results remain the same! But I am feeling that a cleanse is necessary because the last 4-6 weeks my eating habits and choices have not been same.
As far as maintenance after, everyone has there own approach. My was in the last 4 months with the exception of about 10-15 days I have nothing for breakfast except an isagenix shake. Now I add fruit to them. Sometimes for dessert I will add peanut butter or ice cream.
Of course everyone wants to know the price. For this 9/11 Day Cleanse it will cost $130. Remember that $130 includes everything you will need except for the sensible meals. Afterwards you can decide what other products you need to purchase. It is worth every penny. If not for the weight loss, but for the feeling of your body changing and feeling good about that change.
