So...a week ago I ventured into the 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse with a lot of enthusiasm. I can tell you now that I found the whole process to be very do-able and I barely felt myself get "hungry" throughout the 3 days. When I did get the hunger pain it was because it was time for a shake or dinner. The green tea was very nice too...I mean I drink green tea pretty often but to have it only twice each day made it that much more enjoyable. :)
When all was said and done I had lost a total of 5.5 pounds. I am sure the weight was mostly from the "cleaning" process but I feel that doing this maybe 2 times a year will be a good way to get that taken care of. :)
Now a friend of mine asked me...What are you doing this for? She didn't see any point to it since everything just builds back up once you are finished and she didn't see that I needed to lose any weight. Her question did give me pause....Why was I doing this? Well....after a little reflection I realized that I wanted to do this just to do it...just to say that I had tried it and I survived without a headache...without having starvation pains...without any withdrawals to my morning ritual of bacon/eggs and coffee. (I did miss the habit of having my coffee...but not the coffee itself...if that makes sense?) Plus this cleanse is one of the most healthy ones available....where else can you get the nutrient dense daily intake with so few calories attached?

Now imagine having 3 of those each day! I just can't deny the fact that this thing is GREAT! :)

Cindy, I believe in cleansing for the simple reason that my mom survived stomach cancer thanks to fasting which is one of so many types of cleansing. Here is the story.
ReplyDeleteWhile the academic doctors were telling my mom that she had stomach ulcer, an alternative doctor (with academic background)gave my mom a recipe for a 20 days fast. It`s not a general recipe for everybody. This doctor is prescribing according to the patient's problem.My mom did twice 20 days fasting. She was scheduled for an operation after that. Never told the academic doctors that she was fasting not to upset them. After the operation the comments of the doctors operating on her were that the cancer was localized, no metastasis. They were surprised and told my mom was lucky. Usually people do not survive stomach cancer because it`s very agresive. What happened with the fasting was that my mom didn`t feed the cancer cells while fasting, that why they localized and didn`t spread. The theory behind fasting is that because we don`t give food to the newborn cells, they 'feed' on the weakest - the sick ones. That why at the beginnig of a fast we feel a bit weak,but after the 3 day we have a wave of energy and don`t feel the hunger very much. Myself I did a week and later 2 weeks of fasting (prescribed by that doctor).That was long time ago (10y). My fasting was for cleansing purposes.Lost weight and gained it back. I wasn`t following any diet or lifstyle. I like sport and was on the go all the time, but liked also sugary things...Now I`m adopting the primal eating and I don`t have problems with sugar cravings. All this to say, yes, cleansing is good for the body! The experts say that if you want really good ,full body cleansing, you have to fast min one week, but I`m not going into this topic. 3 days is better then none:)
