Shakeology Cleanse and Detox

Many people around the nation have heard about the Shakeology cleanse, and for good reason! Cleansing and detoxing have taken the health industry by storm. Unfortunately, many other cleansing and detox plans require near-starvation, eating or drinking strange, smelly concotions. It doesn't have to be this way! The Shakeology cleanse is a better way for you to accomplish your goals while taking in the nutrients, probiotics and minerals your body needs to thrive. 

The Shakeology cleanse is also different from many other programs not only because you continue to get the nutrition your body needs, but because it is focused on cleansing your system rather than losing water weight or crash dieting. As we all know, crash diets NEVER work... even if they're called a "cleanse"!

At the end of the cleanse, your body will not be starved or weakened. You will have given your body the chance it needs to refuel with amazing nutrition while gently flushing toxins from your body. Although most participants do lose significant weight, it never deprives you of the nutrients you need including protein, probiotics, minerals, phytochemicals, amino acids, antioxidants and more.

Even better, the Shakeology cleanse keeps you "fueled up" throughout the day by staying on a typical eating schedule: Breakfast, lunch, dinner and snacks along with plenty of water.

How to do the Shakeology Cleanse

The Shakeology cleanse is limited to three days. During the cleanse, we recommend that you avoid overly strenuous workouts or intense exercise. Your body will be running a calorie defecit during this time and needs to focus on cleansing and recovery from toxins. Here's the low-down:

• Drink two to four liters of water per day. Pure, filtered water is best.
• One or two pieces of fruit. Apples are popular because of the fiber which helps keep you full and assists in cleansing.
• Two cups of unsweetened green tea, organic if possible. There are phytochemicals in the green tea which have been shown to possibly assist in fat burning along with caffeine, which is also considered a thermogenic and can supress hunger.
• Breakfast: Shakeology with an apple followed by green tea.
• Lunch: Shakeology with an apple or banana followed by green tea.
• Afternoon snack: Shakeology
• Dinner: You'll be ready for a meal, so enjoy a salad of mixed greens and veggies with a lean protein (fish or chicken breast) and a light dressing (balsamic vinegars are a fabulous low-calorie option).

Stay away from all dairy, nuts, fatty meats, soy products, and anything else not explicitly listed above. It will be a challenging three day period, as all cleanse programs are, but your efforts will be rewarded!
