So as I mentioned yesterday, I'm starting this week with a Shakeology cleanse to "start clean" and hopefully break this plateau! I didn't do perfect on this yesterday but I'm still seeing results! The cleanse is fairly straight forward:
Shakeology cleanse directions:
1. Drink a shake for each of your three daily meals using water instead of milk to mix it. Add fruit to 1-2 of these shakes.
2. Flush your body by drinking plenty of water! Drink at least 3-4 liters of water per day. Eliminate any sport drinks, soda, alcoholic, caffeinated, and high sugar drinks. One cup of tea or coffee is allowed without added sugar or creamer.
3. Eat a light dinner (I actually normally do this for lunch as that's usually my biggest meal of the day) consisting of a salad with 4 ounces of white protein (fish or poultry) with a small amount of salad dressing that is light in calories (vinaigarette, olive oil, etc).
4. Repeat for three days.
This week I'm only doing a two day cleanse as my travel arrangements and weekend plans made a 3 day program near impossible. Two days can still have a good effect though so don't let missing that one day deter you from trying this!
I started yesterday at 160 lbs and 26.1% body fat. As of this morning, my weight is 157and I'm not checking for expecting my body fat to change much as the purpose of a cleanse is to rid your body of the toxins that build up in our systems as a result of the not-so-clean foods we all eat on a regular basis.
As I'm traveling tonight and will not have my scale on Wednesday morning, I can't promise that I'll be able to provide a final weight for this cleanse (trust me...I wish I could!) but I'll do my best to find a scale and get a final number. After the cleanse, I'll stick to my usual plan of eating healthy and controlled portions to meet my nutritional guidelines.
I'd love to help you try this!!
