Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse: My Real Experience
BusinessAlright, I finished my initial 9 day Isagenix cleanse this morning, Monday, November 9th. As promised, I’m back to tell you about my experience.
First off, my Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse review starts the day before, October 27th. I was sure my supplies would be here but they weren’t even though UPS said it had already been delivered. So I walked over to the neighbors and found my packages delivered to someone else. So I packed my stuff and was ready to go the next day. I’m just mentioning this so you can note that October 28, my start date, to November 9 is actually more than 9 days. The first thing you’ll learn about the Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse is that it’s actually 11 days if it’s your first time. I’ll explain why in a second.
The Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse consists of 2 parts. They are smoothie days and cleanse days. The cleanse days consist of a liquid diet 4 times a day of their main product “Cleanse For Life”. That plus lots of water and some vegetables, as well as some nuts. Shake days consist of meal replacement shakes like another of their flagship products, the “IsaLean Shake,” as well as a frequent meal and snacks. Frequent meals and snacks keep you from feeling too hungry throughout the day. Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse Nutrition
The premise is that your body will get all the nutrition it needs through the right foods and products. So you won’t be as hungry and your metabolism will stay on all day. Also, your body should get rid of all the toxins that you have stopped taking in that store the fat that will start to melt away. So where does the Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse begin?
Days 1 and 2 are actually shake days. Now, if you’ve been taking the products for a while, skip these first 2 days of shaking and start your cleanse right away. If you are new to the system, take a 2 day shake to chemically balance your body before starting so you don’t shock your system too much. But even shake days can be a bit of a surprise.
My first two days of smoothies were pretty good as far as hunger goes. The problem I had was stopping the caffeine. Cold turkey for 2 more days with no caffeine for a couple of days before that. So my second day of smoothie I woke up with quite the headache. Thank goodness I work from the comfort of my home as a successful network marketer because it allowed me to go back to bed. A day later everything was fine. However, I can’t blame cleanliness for my caffeine withdrawal.
So the Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse goes like this: 2 shake days, then 2 cleanse days, followed by 5 shake days, and finally 2 final cleanse days. Throughout the eleven days I did not feel deprived or hungry. It really wasn’t that hard to keep up with meals, shakes or snacks every two hours.
My biggest challenge during the Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse was actually the last 2 days. These were also cleaning days. My wife, two children, and I went out of town to visit his family for the last weekend of the cleanup. That’s hard. A diet of liquids and snacks with relatives who are very hospitable and want to invite you to eat everything. Even more difficult could be the time sitting in a car and driving for 5 hours or more. You tend to want to snack excessively. I’m sure I would have eaten a bit better without the road trip.
However, I do notice a higher energy level. Usually my wife and I trade every once in a while for driving time on the way there and back. This time I drove the whole time and I felt comfortable doing it. I never got tired or lethargic and drove the full 10+ hours. I would have to chalk it up to the Isagenix 9 Day Cleanse because I can’t remember the last time it happened without exchanging at least once with my lovely wife. I even made a comment to my father when we got back.
So overall, the Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse was pretty good. Oh, and by the way, I lost 14 ½ pounds and over 18 inches off my full body measurements. Not bad for 11 days. I am very excited with my results so far and even participated in the Isabody challenge. Maybe I’ll go into more detail about what that is in another article. One thing that I have not done and that they recommend is to start exercising. I wanted to try and get real results as to what the actual product was doing before I started working out. So I’m going to continue 7 more days on the 30-day program before I start working out. However, I don’t want to wait much longer because I want to compete in the challenge. Wish me luck with that, it looks like the competition can be pretty tough.
To sum it all up; I did the cleanup on the day of 9/11. I have more energy and alertness. It is not too difficult to control food intake. While the flavors of the product aren’t very exciting, who wouldn’t be happy to lose 14 ½ pounds and over 18 inches in just 11 days? So far, I am satisfied enough with the Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse to jump right into the Isabody 30-Day Challenge and continue my Isagenix journey.
