If you haven't tried the Shakeology Cleanse yet, let me go over it with you. This is a 3 day cleanse that will get your body in peak state to lose weight, and reset your gut so you feel like a new person. No joke. I've actually done the Shakeology cleanse three times now over a year, and I haven't been sick all year. The reason Shakeology is the perfect product for a cleanse is the antioxidants, super-fruit, super-protein, probiotics and digestive enzyme that it includes are out of this world good for you. The Shakeology Cleanse is really a “performance cleanse” and totally different than any other cleanse you will ever do in your entire life.
The rest of the article explains exactly how to do the 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse. I even include an image you can download and print if you want to keep it handy and stick it on your fridge. But before we get into that, you will need Shakeology to do the cleanse!
You Won't Be Hungry
Most cleanses deprive your body almost fully of calories and nutrients. Compared to any of the cleanses you have heard of, the Shakeology Cleanse is more like a buffet in Las Vegas. Most cleanses are designed to rid your body of toxins by removing pretty much anything you would enjoy eating, and really deprives your body of nutrient dense foods in order to reset your body to a homeostasis state. This is why if you ever see anyone that is doing a cleanse, they are likely very mad at everyone, hungry, and tired.
The Shakeology cleanse is completely different! You end up eating a nice amount of calories, and a ton of nutrient dense foods. The whole goal is to get the most nutrients into your body, with the lease calories possible. Basically giving your body a “shock” of healthy foods, exercise, and lots of water over a three day period. You will not be hungry, trust me. The result is your digestive system will return to an optimal state, and your gut will get a nice cleansing! Most of us need it. Trust me!
How Does Shakeology Cleanse Work?
With the Shakeology cleanse you will eat every few hours like you normally should, but you will make sure that your meals are made up of a nice balance of proteins, carbohydrates, fats, and fiber. You will have three servings of Shakeology per day, which will give your body that super boost of veggies, fruit, and protein. You will also workout during your Shakeology cleanse each and every day. You will have so much energy this will not be an issue.
For liquids, you will want to make sure you drink a ton of water, but cut out alchohol, coffee, fruit drinks, soda, and so forth. When I did the Shakeology cleanse, I drank a ton of water. It really helps the detox process by flushing everything out.
