Not even before reaching the half way mark of the cleanse, my habits started to change. Replacing shakes for meals was not a big deal. I started being more conscious of what I was putting into my body and how my body was affected. Planning what I would eat in advance for meals and snakes, made a huge difference. No longer would I be scavenging around looking for something to eat only to find greasy, high fat or high sugar foods. Healthy nutrition became so easy.
I completed my four cleansing days in the first two weeks. The recommendation was to do two days back to back in the first week and repeat the same in the second. I was genuinely surprised by the results after the first week and first round of cleanse. I didn't think it were possible to see those results in the second week but I did. The Cm's started to fall off me, yes I was replacing solids with liquids, yet the results still amazed me.
During the last week of my cleanse I was fortunate enough to receive a job offer working in a Helli-skiing resort. I packed my bags and my shakes and headed north. The lodge where I started work was beautiful. Great staff, lovely guests and delicious food was served for breakfast lunch and dinner. This would put my shakes to the test.
In the last few days of the program I started to gradually incorporated food back into my two meals that had been replaced by shakes. I didn't over load, but tried certain temptations. Yes, it was nice to eat food again but some foods just seemed different. I noticed the fat or the sugar or how much certain foods felt heavy in my stomach. Somethings just didn't feel clean, they left me feeling lethargic and low on energy. Now I don't feel the need to reach for those foods again.
After the two rounds of cleansing days I finished of the final two weeks with shake days. Toward the end, I started incorporating solids back into my diet. This time I really though that the results I would see would be minimal. To my surprise, they weren't. I have listed below some of the results I achieved that really surprised me.
My results:
Abs - Day 1: 92.5cm | Day 30: 82.7 | Total Loss: 9.8cm
Buttocks - Day 1: 106cm | Day 30: 98cm | Total Loss: 8cm
Thigh (R) - Day 1: 64cm | Day 30: 58cm | Total Loss: 6cm
Total Cm's* - Day 1: 838.5cm | Day 30: 787.8cm | Total Loss: 50.7cm
Weight - Day 1: 70.1kg | Day 30: 67.5kg | Total Loss: 2.6kg
* Measurements were taken from neck, upper arms (L&R), chest, diaphragm, waist, abs, buttocks, upper thigh(L&R), calf(L&R) and upper knee(L&R).
The cleanse has really helped me lean up. No longer do I feel lethargic and I always know where to turn when I need an energy boost. My athletic performance has improved and my mindset and mental clarity has changed dramatically. I would highly recommend this program to those wishing to achieve results in sports performance, weight loss and general welling. You will be pleasantly surprised.
