I Didn’t Eat Anything Today?

So you won’t find a food journal for Saturday for me because I was cleansing.  Seems sort of strange that I talk about eat more, eat often and then spend a day without eating.

I will explain my reasoning J

About 2 years ago Jeff was approached by a lady who was promoting the Isagenix Fat Burning Systems and she explained to him how these cleansing products and shakes were helping all kinds of people shed unwanted fat and that she thought that it would be a good product for us to offer to our clients.  Of course, Jeff was very skeptical, the whole idea of not eating anything for two days and then limiting your calories for 5 days and then not eating for another 2 days went against everything he knew about fat loss.  Sure, don’t eat and you will lose weight but usually that weight is muscle not fat.  But she somehow convinced him and he gave it a try.

When he got the products he read them thoroughly, got the instructions down to ‘T’ he took all of his linear measurements, measured his body fat and his weight on a scale.  He followed the program exactly as it was written and he lost 13 pounds in 9 days but that 13 pounds was fat, he reduced his body fat by 2.5% in 9 days.

So after a little further research and trying it out on me (I lost 7 pounds and 2% body fat in 9 days) and his brother he decided that this was a product that did exactly what it said it would. So we continue to use the products because we have never found anything else to be as good.

Here is basically how it works:

Our bodies are faced with an enormous amount of toxins such as chemicals from food, preservatives, pesticides and fertilizers.  Chemicals in our water. 700,000 tons of pollution in the air.  Chemicals from cosmetics and cleaning fluids and meat products  from animals that are injected with hormones, steroids and antibiotics.

These chemicals and toxins accumulate over time and cause the liver and kidneys to become overworked and weak.  One of the ways the liver deals with impurities is to increase body fat to enfold these impurities to protect the body from their influence. Diets are not successful for long term weight loss because they don’t address the need to cleanse the body of impurities.

So once a week or once every other week I cleanse my internal organs with the Isagenix Cleanse it is not fasting, there is a mineral drink that I consume on the day that I cleanse.  I eat very clean, we buy almost 90% organic, we filter drinking water, we buy ‘clean’ meat, eggs and dairy.  But I am afraid that that is not enough anymore in this world we live in.  So, I cleanse.

Tonight is mine and Jeff's 7 Year Anniversary so we will be heading out to eat some toxic food

Everything in moderation right?
