9 Day Cleanse Overview

Hey everyone.

Wow! What a trip.

I'm so glad I did the 9 Day Cleanse. It really helped me get back on track - Literally. It helped me realize what junk I put in my body. And also, how out of sync I am with my health. While doing this cleanse, I've had to re-evaluate a lot of things. Needless to say, I failed the grade.

However - This 9 Day Cleanse was a real eye opener for me.

I'm going to do a little break down for all of you, so that you can all know what to expect, should you choose to do this for yourselves.

First off, I was surprised to find out that this 9 Day Cleanse is really an eleven day cleanse. I started it with two Pre-Cleanse Shake Days, which they don't count in the program. I guess the purpose of these Pre-Cleanse Days is to prep the body for sudden weight loss.

When first starting off with my Shake Days, I took an accelerator capsule in the morning, along with a shake (chocolate). Then for lunch, I was able to prepare a nice, healthy lunch. For dinner, you're suppose to make a shake as well.

After my two Pre-Cleanse Shake Days, I started my 9 Day program with two Cleanse days. For this, I take an accelerator capsule in the morning, along with 4 oz of Cleanse For Life. You are suppose to take 4 oz of this Cleanse For Life 4 times a day with 8 oz of water. You are also suppose to take the Snack wafers which also come with the program. The wafers aren't bad, but I would prefer to snack on something else like almonds, carrots or a hard boiled egg. They have alternatives for snacking.

After the two Cleanse Days, I started on my Shake Days. They are the same as the Pre-Cleanse Shake Days. A shake in the morning, a healthy lunch, and a shake for dinner. You continue with five of these Shake Days, and then finally, there are two more Cleanse Days in the program.

It turned out to be a long ride, but well worth it.

Here are some of the benefits I saw as I was going through the program.


     - I lost 13 lbs in 11 days

     - I appreciated my food and savored every bite

     - I was not tempted to have caffeinated sweet drinks

     - Candy and/or other processed goodies were not as appealing

     - I was more inclined to eat healthy foods rather than junk food

     - I seemed to go to sleep quicker, stay asleep longer, and feel more rested


The total benefits far outweigh the weight loss which I experienced.

It really gave me a jump start to my "New" healthy life style and gave me an appreciation for my body and what I put in it.

The cleanse was long, but the lunches and the snacks helped change things up a bit. Next time, I will buy the vanilla shake, just because, with vanilla, you have more options; where as Chocolate can get boring after awhile. With vanilla, you can add fruit and other things. Just be sure to watch the extra calories.

This was a unique experience having done the cleanse, due to the fact that I was unable to workout because of my hurt foot. In a good way, this illustrates that you can still lose weight even without changing your way of life too drastically.

I plan on doing the maintenance program through Isagenix. I also plan to keep eating healthy and exercising. I would like to lose 115 lbs in a years time. That would be ideal for me.

I hope you all enjoyed my journey.

But we are far from over.

So please, keep on following along.
