The prices deterred me when I first learned about Isagenix, but when I did the math and realized I would only be spending $9/day for 2 meals and 2 snacks, which would actually be saving me money on my grocery bill, I hurried up and ordered a 30 day Energy and Performance Pack. I have to admit, I was hardcore with my products for about the first week, then I skipped days here and there and forgot to do certain products certain days. I ended up stretching my 30 day system into about 45 days. Other than incorporating these products into my diet, I did absolutely NOTHING DIFFERENT than I was doing before. Still bogged down with patients and studying for boards at the time. Still only going to the gym 1-3 weeks; however, my energy was like nothing before. My 1-3 lackadaisical workouts per week after 12 hours at school became powerful and more efficient. I was able to get through the day seeing patients without needing 3 cups of coffee to barely get me through. I felt GREAT! However, my trip with my husband to Jamaica was fast approaching and I wanted to look even better :) Also, I needed to compensate for the good 5 lbs I would probably gain at our all-inclusive resort. So, then came the 9 day cleanse..........
When everyone hears the word "cleanse" they automatically think "bathroom." However, this is NOT A COLON CLEANSE!!!!! So, everything was normal in that department for all those wondering ;) The second thing people think is "Oh, you must be so hungry and lethargic." However, this cleanse supports your bodies fundamental, nutritional needs in order to prevent these feelings. I had NO COFFEE - I can't even tell you last time I started a morning without it - and felt more energetic than I ever could with coffee. Also, no withdrawal symptoms that you typically get if you quit coffee cold turkey. I have to admit, the cleanse was definitely hard at night when I would see my husband eating and smell the food, but I was determined and I had a goal. So here's how it worked:
I chose to do the pre-cleanse days which I stretched over 3 days. I did a shake for breakfast and a shake for lunch, a healthy 400-600calorie dinner (I usually go for a nice salad with grilled protein), and 2 IsaSnacks between meals. On cleanse days, I had 4oz. of the Cleanse for Life drink with 2 glasses of water 4 times per day with 2 IsaSnacks between - so 3 Snacks - with 2 glasses of water. I never once felt lethargic or tired on these days and, like I said before, business in the bathroom was per usual. The 5 Shake days in-between were the same as the pre-cleanse days. I even cheated a little on the third shake day when my husband and I spent the day at the lake with my friend, Christina and her boyfriend. We went out for dinner and I had a blackened haddock salad with a fresh lemon juice drizzle; however, I also partook in a glass of red wine, a few chicken wings and a few fried shrimp :) I must say though, I was EXTREMELY proud of myself for having absolutely NO DESSERTS for 11 days straight! WOW! That is probably a record for me and my sweet tooth. So, now that the cleanse is over, I must say that I FEEL GREAT AND LOOK GREAT! I am extremely pleased with my results and will have no guilt indulging in Jamaica. The 9 day cleanse is a great way to give you a boost into Isagenix and get your weightloss/fitness goals rolling. Here's my results on paper:
