This is actually an Isagenix cleanse and detoxify program that also results in healthy (and speedy) weight loss. I've done the 9-day cleanse three times and lost around 10 pounds each time.
The program is NOT starvation by any means since it includes highly potent nutrition. The first few days were hardest for me, but as my body adjusted the hunger and cravings nearly disappeared completely.
It's not so much feeling hungry as that you have to give up doing much chewing for awhile, and we are all used to chewing. However, I was amazed at the increase in my energy level and in general an increased vibrancy in skin tone and even mental clarity while doing this cleanse.
About the 9 Days
The first two and last two are cleansing days, meaning liquids only. You also drink LOTS of water, so trips to the bathroom tend to be quite frequent.
During the middle five days, you have a meal replacement shake twice, and then eat a sensible and well-balanced meal of your choice once each day. The shakes are delicious and do satisfy hunger.
Snacks:
The Isagenix cleanse includes these chewable snack tablets, 5 per day. They're not particularly tasty, but not bad either. They are not considered
optional, since they help keep blood sugar stable. I found that they DO help me to ignore cravings, and at least it's something to chew.
Natural Accelerator Capsules:
These were formulated based on natural thermogenics and contain neither Ephedra nor Ma Huang.
Other Options:
Isagenix Cleanse also offers a 30 day cleanse program for those who find the 9 day program too restrictive. The goal toward detoxing is the
same, however with slower results. The 30 day program is also recommended as a maintenance plan after the 9 day cleanse.
Why it Works:
Fats and cellulite tend to stick like glue to toxins stored in our bodies. Release the toxins and the fat follows. Whether weight-loss is a
goal or not, cleansing on a regular basis is recommended to clean out our inner organs and thereby prevent disease.
Why Cleanse?
Cleansing internally is a practice used by most cultures since time began. This cleanse is designed to feed, not starve the body as was often done in the past.
