Wondering what cellular cleansing can do for you?

 Technically it can be considered fasting as you are giving your body a break from digesting food.  The best analogy that I can use to describe cleansing is to imaging that a grocery store closed for a week but all of the employees still showed up to work as usual that week.  This may seem insane because without customers the store would go out of business, but if there were no customers to deal with and clean up after for a whole week a lot of things could get done that there normally isn't time to do.  Every inch of the floor could be cleaned and polished, all of the walls could be re-painted, all of the old electrical wiring could be stripped out and replaced with faster and more energy efficient wiring that would eventually save the store a lot of money in the long run, and when the week was over it would look like a brand new store on the inside and they could have a "grand re-opening".  This is exactly what will happen to the inside of your body if you cleanse after having eaten a poor diet for several years.  At a grocery store the customers come first and in the human body digesting food comes first, so if there is no food to digest for 2 days your body won't simply take time off and do nothing, but will instead in it's infinite wisdom spend that time working on things that it normally doesn't have time to deal with because there is constantly new food entering the body that needs to be digested, assimilated, and eliminated. This is what cellular cleansing can do for you.

What are you waiting for?

I've been giving my body the most optimal nutrition possible for the last 14 weeks. I have been extremely happy with my results. I didn't really want to try a diet. Diets might work temporary but once you stop you gain back the weight you worked so hard to lose and sometimes more. I really needed a complete change. My eating habits were  horrible and I had no energy. So when I heard about cellular cleansing I was intrigued. This system is a sustainable lifestyle,  not a weight loss program. Its a body composition system that helps build lean muscle  while burning fat. The cleanse supports the bodies natural cleansing processes with whole food nutrition. Which is exactly what I was looking for. My clothes have been falling off of me and I've had to go shopping. So I decided to finally clean out my closet. I have huge piles of clothes that no longer fit. YAY!! I feel like I'm dreaming. It's so hard to believe how much weight and inches I've lost. Now I see nothing is impossible. I wish for everyone who has a goal to go for it. Don't wait, don't make excuses. Just go for it. You only have one body and one life why not take care of it. 

Let's talk about snacks.

Healthy Snacks are actually an  important part of your daily intake and will assist you in your weight loss. Going for more than 3 hours without eating anything usually leads to overeating during meals. Snacks should be eaten between meals to help prevent overeating about every 2.5 hours and should be  under 90 calories. By doing this you  will keep your metabolism going, give you energy and make sure your  sugar levels are where they should be. By choosing the right snacks this will make all the difference in the world wether your goal is to lose weight or energy and performance. Choose nutrient-rich foods like Fruits, veggies, nuts, eggs, fiber snacks, slim cakes, whey thins, or  hummus. These are just some ideas to keep you moving through out the day. What you choose to snack on daily is just as important as what you eat  for your meals. This will help you achieve your health goals  and keep you going throughout the day.

Changes are amazing me

I'm going on vacation this week and I decided to get my hair cut and change the color. I have to say I love it. So I wanted to share this with my friends on facebook. As I was posting my photo I happen to go through my photo gallery on my phone and I found a photo that I took prior to the start of my cleanse. Well boy, oh boy was I shocked when I compared that photo with my photo from today. I guess we really never see ourselves for what we truly look like when we are so unhappy with ourselves.

Why do people cleanse? What is a cleanse?

A nutritional cleanse is a whole-body, internal cleanse using high quality nutritional elements that have been synergistically blended for efficient absorbability and maximum impact while giving the body an environment to release impurities, rejuvenate and replenish lean mass thereby greatly improving energy levels and overall health and wellness. If the nutrients we ingest cannot permeate our cells, the quality of what we are eating has no effect. Our bodies were not meant to have to digest plastics and all the other environmental pollution – indoors and outdoors – that we are all exposed to on a daily basis. Cleansing at the cellular level simply enables the cells to perform optimally in a naturally healthy state.

Everyone has their why. What's your why?

 Why? Why do you want to be healthy? Have you ever asked yourself that? Do you know why? I challenge you to make a list of why  you would like to be healthier. Everyone has a reason, some more than others. Are you living in the body you don't want to be in? Are you ashamed of what you see when you look in the mirror? How many times have you bought an outfit you didn't really like but it was the only thing you could fit into? Do you hide from cameras or behind someone in the shot with you?
Now my question to you is what are you gonna do about it? So many times people have no problem investing in eating out, Starbucks, ice cream, the list goes on and on but when it comes to their health they don't want to spend money. Not to mention the dr. Visits due to poor health. What are you willing to invest?

Balanced meal, What's that?

Preparing a well balanced, healthy meal could become overwhelming. Have you ever thought what exactly makes a balanced meal? The following essential components are needed - complex carbohydrates, lean protein, fiber, vitamins, minerals, and  healthy fats. I have to say the best part for me with isagenix is its a no brainer. During my weight loss stage I have 2 meal replacement shakes and a balanced meal. I simply follow a suggestive guide and include all the categories I mentioned above and bam I have a well balanced meal. You need to have 300-600 calories. 

Its important that you provide your body with a quality source of protein, this will help you feel satisfied longer, support muscle growth, and keep your metabolism going strong. For the optimal amount of protein you should have between 20 to 35 grams per meal. The right amount critical.

Complex carbohydrates provide a steady source of energy which your body needs. 1 cup of cooked oatmeal, brown rice, quinoa, or whole-grain pasta are healthy choices. Sweet potatoes, yams, beans, lentils, or a corn tortilla can also provide you with the fuel you need.   Any of these choices are low-glycemic and shouldn’t cause dramatic spikes in blood sugar that could lead to a crash.

Most fruits and vegetables have so few calories and are so densely packed with nutrients, including fiber, that there’s no strict limit to portion size, so adding more can be a great way to raise volume of your meal and help fill you up without over consuming calories. Fill half your plate at each meal with 2 to 3 cups of fruits and vegetables such as apple, pear, berries, broccoli, kale, spinach, steamed vegetables, or a mixed green salad. To add some color to my  plate, I add sliced tomatoes, or bell peppers.

 Healthy fats are important to your body’s health. I love to add pumpkin, sunflower, or sesame seeds to my salads.

Oh don't forget to add spices to your food. Who doesn't want a little flavor like fresh herbs and spices. I add cinnamon to my shakes. I absolutely love it. Plus cinnamon helps to boost your metabolism, same as cayenne pepper. Don't be afraid to spice up your food with seasonings.

So there you have it. A simple way to make sure you are getting a well balanced meal.
