Cleansing

I often times have done a three day cleanse after a workout program has ended. I feel it helps me prepare for the next challenge of whatever workout program I go with next. It is also helps me feel so much better. If I lose a small amount of weight that means I have eaten extremely clean. Have any of you tried to do a cleanse and if so what have you done?

    I've tried several times to do a cleanse but haven't been successful at it. I don't know how I can go a day or 2 without eating food. Maybe I should give it a try again

    Do you have any recommendations of a cleanse regiment? I am unsure of what it entails, what to eat, not to eat, etc. I would really like to do one.

    Melissa,

    I do a Shakeology cleanse. I have a green tea in the morning, then about an hour after I have my first shake. At lunch I have another shake. Midday I have a piece of fruit with green tea. For dinner I have a large salad with a white protein and as many veggies as you would like on the salad. For a snake shake number three comes into play. You can lose anywhere from 3-12 pounds with the three day cleanse. I really do feel better as well when I do it. I know there are other cleanses out there. I would have to do some more research and let you know.

    If you do find out about any others I would appreciate it. I hate to "google" something and not being real familiar with what would be the proper, healthy way makes me hesitant on trying anything that I would find. I could follow along the lines of what you do. I have a protein mix I use regularly that I could substitute where you drink your Shakeology. As for the green tea you drink is it something special you buy or is it regular green tea you can get from the store. I have green tea bags at home that Iike to drink.

    Hey Melissa~

    Yes, I do exercise during the cleanse. It's recommended that it not be hard core exercising as you are decreasing the amount of calories you will be eating for three days. As for the green tea. I just use tea bags and have those twice during the day. If you want to use those protein drinks you have then you can do that as well. I am not sure of your shake, but mine has a lot of nutrients in one shake. So look at your label and make sure you are not depriving yourself of anything ok.
