I have a friend who is doing the Shakeology cleanse and I was thinking about doing it BUT... I hate the taste of Shakeology with water.... so I was wondering if anyone has done this with another kind of shake???? I wanted to follow the cleanse but using BSN Syntha 6 shake instead - would that be ok or dangerous.

Looking for advice.

    Never heard of a protein cleanse.


    But nothings wrong with using a different protein. Shakeology is overrated crap that beachbody markets to people who aren't knowledgable about supplements.

    Syntha 6 is a little high in sugar.
    Look for something like scivation or optimum nutrition whey in the future.

    Shakeology is really much more than a protein shake so simply switching from that just a protein supplement is not quite the same. The chocolate does take a bit to get used to with just water. I typically drink it with unsweetened vanilla almond breeze, add extra ice and it's pretty good. I usually do the three day cleanse after each completed round of P90X. Helps really get the salt out of my system.

    I did it for 3 days using my own protein powder with water (which yes, is yucky. 1/2 cup milk, 2/3 cup water and 3/4 cup of ice is delicious but I didn't do milk for this 3-day diet as required), same effect, quick drop of #'s so it's good for a contest or a head start b/c it is just water weight. And no, it's not too much protein or an overdose, 3 scoops of my protein is 78g which is less than I take in eating normally, I aim for 100.

    I don't understand how living off protein shakes for 3 days could "cleanse" your body.

    Eating clean for 3 days would do much better.

    The idea is just to give me a boost and then I will carry on with my clean eating...

    It is not JUST shakes you drink, check it out on her blog: http://myinsanejourney-laura.blogspot.com

    It is in insane shape and just did the cleanse to switch things up a bit... that is also my plan. The question was just if I COULD use a regular protein shake. I do try and eat clean and will continue but I am just looking for a head start.
