Well I made it, I successfully finished all 3 days of the Shakeology Cleanse! I was pretty nervous, I had attempted it once before and didn't make it through the second day. What was different this time? I had splurged a little too much over the Thanksgiving weekend and I was left bloated and craving sugar and junk. I NEEDED to get rid of that bloat and those cravings, so that's just what I did. I made my mind up, prepared everything that I needed and hit the ground running.
In addition to losing 2.8 pounds, I lost 2.5 inches!! YUP you read that right, my tummy was BLOATED, and I'm so glad to have gotten rid of that. My pants are fitting better and I was even able to buy a smaller size of jeans this morning when I went shopping!!
So am I glad I did the Shakeology Clenase? Absolutely!! My body is back on track and I love eating clean once again.I am full of energy and was back to working out this morning.
If you are interested in the details of the Shakeology cleanse and learning how you can get results like these (or better) keep reading, I'm going to break down the info here....
What makes the Shakeology Cleanse stand apart from the
others is that the Shakeology cleanse is not a true "cleanse". The Shakeology
Cleanse is a calorie restricted, nutrient rich cleanse. There are no strange
drinks made of maple and lemon or apple cider. With Shakeology you will be
satisfied and you won't be a zombie or feel like you are starving your body of
vital nutrients, because you aren't! The main point of the Shakeology Cleanse is
not calorie restriction but nutrient richness. The aim is to get the most
nutrients into your body with the fewest calories consumed. These calories are
to fuel your workouts and rid the body of toxins and hydration into homeostasis.
The result with this cleanse to have your body run more efficiently and the
weight loss is just an added benefit that most experience (you can lose anywhere
from 3lbs to 10lbs in just 3 days!!).
- Rid your body of fat
- Detoxify your body
- Jump start your weight loss and fitness routine
- Body rejuvenation
How does the Shakeology Cleanse work?With the Shakeology Cleanse your daily food structure remains close to the same as you’re everyday eating. You will still be eating every few hours with meals that are balanced and nutrient rich which will make up for consuming fewer calories. This means that you can still continue with your workout routine. Adding fruits, nuts, seeds, and the Shakeology fiber supplement can be done as you see fit. Your one solid meal a day, your salad, can also contain fruits, nuts, and seeds, legumes, and veggies along with four ounces or less of a white protein. The point is to keep you satiated and to avoid anything that is artificial - including your salad dressing. The Shakeology Cleanse is designed to optimize your body’s performance. You want to have enough food to fuel your day and your workout. By eating foods that are high in fiber and nutrients it is virtually impossible to overeat. With the high fiber, digestive aids, and enzymes, your body will be ridding itself of excess food and fat and flushing out waste.
Shakeology 3-Day Cleanse Explained:
Once again, this cleanse is meant to be done in conjunction with your regular fitness routine but best to schedule during your recovery weeks if you are doing an intense program like P90X or INSANITY. It is also a GREAT way to jump-start ANY fitness routine and weight loss by doing the cleanse the week before you begin and getting your body healthy!
First, most people WILL lose some weight but weight loss is not the goal of the Shakeology Cleanse. People with a lot of junk in their systems tend to lose the most weight from this cleanse. If you've been eating clean then there are less toxins and food left in your system to be rid of. While you may not lose much weight while doing the cleanse, your body will be ready to lose once you have finished and continue your fitness program.
Second, restricting calories can be stressful. Stress in the body releases the hormone cortisol and inhibits you from losing weight. This is the reason why you don't do the Shakeology Cleanse no longer than 3 days.
