I've been a fan of Shakeology for about 6 months now and drink it every day for breakfast. It's even replaced my daily Starbucks fix. So, when I heard about the 3 day Shakeology cleanse, I wanted to give it a try. I've always been a skeptic of cleanses because traditional cleanses contain very few calories and nutrients leaving you lethargic and famished. On the Shakeology Cleanse I'm eating frequently and consuming about 1200 calories per day. The point of this cleanse is not calorie restriction, but nutrition efficiency. The aim is to get the most nutrients possible into the fewest number of calories. The goal is to put all of these calories to use as a part of your exercise program, to rid your body of undigested foods and toxins, and to bring your hydration levels into homeostasis. The result you’re after is not weight loss—though it will likely occur—but for your body to be running more efficiently
So far, the cleanse is going well. I'm on Day 3 and feeling really good. Aside from having to pee every hour, I feel lighter, more energetic, and I'm starting to see my abs again. The shakes are really filling so I haven't been hungry at all, which I was worried about because I certainly did not want to starve myself! I've even been able to continue my normal workouts. I felt a little tired when I woke up this morning, but that could also be because I got sucked into watching the Bachelorette until 11:45pm last night!
Here's the Weight Shakedown:
