Cleansing: Holiday Tips

How do I stick with a cleansing program and get through a holiday weekend like 4th of July?  This is easier than you think.  There is no reason you have do live in a bubble while using Isagenix.  Enjoy the foods in moderation you would normally eat over the holiday.  Here are some helpful tips:

• Use lean ground beef and put your hamburger on a multi-grain bun.
• Eat baked chips instead of regular.
• Eat a tossed salad instead of pasta salad or use whole grain pasta.
• Try filling up on fruits and vegetables which are in season during the summer.
• Drink plenty of water. 
• If you can’t live without that alcoholic beverage, choose low calorie varieties and drink in moderation.

After the weekend, get back on track by doing a cleanse day.  I like to think of my cleanse as my magic eraser.

7 Reasons to Cleanse

1.  Strengthen Your Immune System.  Cleansing impurities and flooding the body with high grade nutrients allows the internal body to strenghten the immune system.*

2.  Support Your Vial Organs.  Gentle cleansing allows your vital organs (liver, colon, urinary tract, sweat glands, skin pores, lymphatic system, etc.) to perform their functions more efficiently.*

3.  Eliminate Unhealthy Cravings and Support Healthy Brain Chemistry.  Cleansing and replenishing allows the internal body to convert nutrients and healthy brain chemicals that create an environment that craves nutritious food.*

More Than a Colon Cleanse

Have you ever done a colon cleanse?  If so, I bet you felt better for days to weeks afterwards.  Maybe you even lost a few pounds.  There a lot of benefits to cleansing the colon.  By cleansing the colon you eliminate impurities which are stored in the intestinal track.  But, what about the rest of the body?  Are the toxins we are exposed to on a daily basis only stored  in our intestinal track?  The answer to this is no which is why we need to cleanse our whole body.

The Isagenix® Cleanse for Life™ super juice eliminates impurities not only from the intestinal track but also from other vital organs.  It supports the brain, skin, kidneys, thyroid, liver, and cardiovascular system.  It also releases impurities which are stored in stubborn fat tissue therefore allowing the body to lose weight.

After having children I developed thyroid problems and struggled to lose weight for years.  By using the Isagenix® Cleansing & Fat Burning Systems, I was able to get the weight off and I no longer have to follow my doctor’s suggestions regarding my thyroid.  I’ve been able to keep the weight off for two years now by following the Isagenix® Total Health & Wellness System.  I know this would not be possible without following a full body nutritional cleansing program like Isagenix®.

Give Your Mom the Gift of Health this Mother’s Day

This Mother’s Day, why not give your mom the gift of health. 

That is exactly what I did two years ago.  That is when I sent my mom her first Isagenix program.  My mom is very active for her age but for so many years she had a big stomach which made her look pregnant.  Thanks to Isagenix’s Cleansing & Fat Burning Systems she no longer looks this way.  She is trimmer and healthier than ever.  After her first system my mom signed up as an Isagenix Associate and she now uses the Isagenix Total Health & Wellness program to maintain her weight and feel great.   It is so reassuring to know  my mom is going to be healthy for years to come.

How Do You Make Money?

I have had many co-workers and friends tell me that “I’m just not a salesman”.  My response has typically been “neither am I!!”  I have never tried to sell anyone anything.  Nor has my wife.  Instead, we have simply told others all of the wonderful benefits we have experienced using Isagenix.  The fantastic health benefits and the incredible financial success that is available to almost anyone who commits themselves to the lifestyle is nothing short of amazing!  My wife and I are on a mission to introduce as many people as we can to the opportunities that are open to those willing to reach out and grab them!  Try it and then tell all your friends.  Maybe you will have the opportunity to feel as blessed as we do!  To learn more go to the ”Cleanse Infromation“ link and click on “Business Opportunity“!  Weight loss results may vary.  Income level achievements are dependent upon an individuals business skills,personal ambition, time commitment, activity and demographic factors.     

Cleanse Day: Helpful Tips

I have been using Isagenix for almost three years now.  I usually get through my cleanse days without any cravings or hunger; however, yesterday I was struggling through my cleanse about 6:00 pm so I ate some cucumber slices which really seemed to help.  Here are some other helpful tips to help you on your cleanse days:

• Try a few slices of fruit, a small salad or other veggies (organic is best otherwise wash well before eating).
• Eat a couple raw unsalted almonds.
• Eat a hard boiled egg.
• Try to stay busy and avoid watching TV. 
• Go to sleep a little earlier to resist the urge to snack.

Survey: Can You Use More Success in Your Life?

Please rate the following on a scale from 1 to 10:

How important is your health?

How would you rate the current level of your health?

How important is your financial security?

How would you rate your current financial situation?

How important is your time?

How would you rate the amount of time you have to do the things you want to do but only dream of?

Did you take this survey and realize there are a lot of GAPS in your life?  Just over two years ago I found an opportunity that has helped me fill the GAPS in my life.  I am healthier than I have been in over 15 years, I have been able to more than replace the income of my full time job by working part time, and I have more time to spend with my family and do the things I want to do.

Is Cleansing a Scam?

I struggled to lose weight for years after having children.  I went to the gym 5 to 6 days a week and saw little results for my efforts.  I tried a variety of weight loss programs with marginal success and the weight I did lose I gained back plus some. 

Two years ago a friend told me about Isagenix.  I was very skeptical but desperate to lose weight for an upcoming class reunion so I decided to give it a try.  On my first program, I lost 6 pounds, 17 inches, and almost 2 percent body fat.  I was amazed!  Even better than the weight loss was the way I felt.  I had more energy than I could remember, I was sleeping better at night and I no longer craved unhealthy foods like sweets.

Because of the immediate results I saw it was easy for me to stay motivated.  I was able to exceed my weight loss goal and I have kept the weight off for two years now.  I lost a total of 65 pounds, 71 inches, and over 20 percent total body fat.  To see my before and after pictures click the “Cleanse Information” link and then click “Contact Me”.
