The Shakeology Cleanse lasts 3 days. Every day, you may drink 3 glasses of Shakeology with any ingredients you'd like to add, one piece of fruit, a salad with light dressing and a 4 oz piece of lean meat. Your salad can be however big you want to make it with whatever veggies you want to add, but keep your dressing to one serving! And no croutons or cheese! Drink AT LEAST 8 glasses of water. You may continue your scheduled workout program, just be sure to back off if you feel you're pushing too hard. The sweating helps though!

Good luck!!!
Can't wait for tomorrow! I really need this!

Allie, the ice helps a lot! You know what else is great, if you have a health store where you are, find some PB2. It's powdered peanutbutter with less fat and only like 50 calories a serving instead of 200. It only has peanuts in it and it goes great with Shakeology!
We do, we have a local place and Earthfare. I will check it out today!

I didn't know my arms and legs could be different. The right side is bigger. I measured 3 times like in the P90X book. I have a question I drink Green Shakeology and it's not good plain can I add some juice so it tastes good?
My arms and legs have been different at different times, usually within an 1/2 inch to an inch. It is not unusual.
DeleteOk thanks! It's hard to find the same place to line up the tape measure every time and I thought maybe I was doing it wrong.
DeleteI tried to post my measures before and they disappeared. I hope I get right again because I did not write down.

I not do arms because I not think they work from cleanse. I have lot of bloating around the middle and the hips.
I have a lot of bloating in my belly too from a bad cheat meal 2 days ago. This is supposed to help clear out all the garbage that causes that bloating and push it out so make sure you keep drinking water and know that it is okay if you have a little stomach upset tonight. This can especially happen if you are new to Shakeology because it's a lot of nutrients to take in at once from actual plant sources and our bodies aren't used to breaking all that down if you don't eat like that regularly. You might be retaining some water in your arms, Pilar. I definitely get swelling in my fingers. I notice it around my wedding ring.
DeleteI have a question. i dont eat chicken and eat some fish. Can I eat salmon or something else or does it have to be chicken?
ReplyDeleteAmber, you could make something like a cobb salad with an egg (no cheese please!). Just try to keep to egg whites or if you have to, only one egg yolk. You can also try a poached egg in a spinach salad with some lemon juice. I think fish like salmon or even tuna (chunk light is best, albacore is high in mercury) would be fine as long as you keep it to 2 or 3 oz and keep your salad dressing really light because fish has a lot of fat, though it's the good kind of fat. Just make sure your fish is wild caught and not farm raised, please. Less heavy metals.
DeleteToday is done and it got really hard by the end. Trying to go to sleep early to make it easier to stay out of my fridge.
ReplyDeleteDay 1 down. Hopefully everyone got through it okay. I can't believe how much water I drank to get through it!
ReplyDeleteI made it through day 1. Let's hang in there for Day 2!
ReplyDeleteLast night was hard my family went out for dinner and I stayd home. I hope today is less hard.
ReplyDeleteOof, Pilar, you're right. Last night was hard! A couple weeks ago when our power was out, our neighbor ran a cord from their generator to our house to power a few space heaters and as thanks, I had baked them cookies. I had saved the extras buried on the bottom of the freezer and of course last night in bed, my husband pulled them out and started eating them. I could have killed him! They are all gone now so I am hoping there aren't any other sweets he has stashed somewhere that are going to come out tonight!
ReplyDeleteOMG last night was so hard for me too I could not sleep at all. I kept having to get up to go to the bathroom LOL I think it is working but my boyfriend is really annoyed with me. I do not care. It is hard but now I feel it working.
ReplyDeleteI'm definitely noticing my body is flushing out a lot of water. Through my whole workout this morning, I was sweating profusely and I noticed toward the end I stunk! I woke up really sweaty too so I think that's a positive sign of losing some water retention.
ReplyDeleteI sweated a lot in my workout yesterday. I have been going to the bathroom A LOT! I am off to work out now. PS Don't go to Costco, too many samples to avoid!
ReplyDeleteLadies we are halfway there!!!
ReplyDeleteMade it through the day! I need to go to bed though because I am hungry. Tried chocolate shakeology with peanut butter...yum!
ReplyDeleteToday has been very long. I am so tired and hungry. I must sleep to because I am so hungry. I am happy last day is tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI am glad there is only one day left of this! We've made it so far! Yay! Tonight was sort of rough. We met some family at a pizza restaurant and everyone else got pizza and I had to special order a cheeseless salad. Boo. Oh well. I did it, it's over, and I don't have to worry about uncomfortably tight pants after eating a bunch of carbs and fat so, that's a triumph!
ReplyDeleteGreat job ladies sticking with it!
There will be no church for us today. Andy has an ear infection (I'm sure of it) and I will probably have no self control if I see the food spread afterward! I think after this weekend, I'm going to have to switch Shakeology flavors. Thank goodness tropical strawberry comes out soon.
ReplyDeleteLast day, ladies! Hang in there!
Very glad today is last day. I had bad headache last nite and today it was still hurting. I am also ready for different flavor no more choclate.
ReplyDeleteMy husband has a fever so I have been trying to keep up with all 5 kids on low energy. I am doing though! I am ready to eat food again tomorrow. How do we hold on to our weight/inches loss? BYW Love the green shakeology with strawberries :-). Definitely will be ordering some!
ReplyDeleteThe best way is to keep up clean eating and stay away from foods that cause a lot of bloating/water retention. So, the less you can eat that is processed or contains flour or sugar along with making sure you hydrate adequately will keep this off. And whenever life puts you in situations where you can't avoid eating something unhealthy or you find yourself eating poorly for a while, you can do another cleanse. This should help make sugar less desirable, though, now that it's all out of your system!
DeleteGreat job, ladies! You made it! Don't forget to take your measurements and post them tomorrow!
ReplyDeleteWe made it! I had a sample pack of chocolate shakeology and actually got one more shake out of it this morning! Well here are my measurements:
ReplyDeleteCW: 195.4
C:40
W:35.5
H:40.5
T: 25.5
A: 12.5
I lost a total of 3.4 lbs. and 3.5". Yeah! I definitely notice a different in my waist and chest. I don't look or feel bloated. I am going to keep close track of what I eat to see what makes me bloated and what doesn't. We are suppose to have pizza in the office today, and I have a feeling if I eat it, I will be bloated. I think I will go to Subway instead. I can't wait to see everyone else's results. Go Team!

A couple of inches off, not bad!
Amber, I tried to reply to your post and it disappeared. Not sure what happened, but just wanted to say I'm sorry you couldn't make it through. You can always try again some other time and even just making it a day has its benefits. Don't feel badly!!!
Weird i do not know what happened. I will post what I said again. I could not make it and sat night i had a donut and could not stop. I was too embarrassed to post yesterday. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteAmber-don't feel bad! It could have happened to any of us. The night before this started I had some ice cream and chocolate from godiva!
ReplyDeleteGreat job Rachel :-)
I also cheated on cleanse yesterday at party. We had football party and i had some chips i could smell it too much.

Well, ladies, it's all over! Our winner is Allie! Allie, you should be getting a $25 Beachbody gift certificate in the mail some time this week!
ReplyDeleteEven if you didn't stick with it, good job staying accountable and honest! It's still a step in the right direction and you're a better person for trying! Thanks ladies!!!
Oh - one more thing ladies! I can tell you all this on here because this isn't part of the Beachbody site so they won't see this:
ReplyDeleteIf you decide you like Shakeology and are interested in buying more in the future, when you order it, make sure you order it HD (home direct). HD is the option you can pick if you want TBB to send you a new bag every 30 days. When you get HD Shakeology you get some free workout DVD's the first shipment and with the second one, you get a free shaker cup. That's not why I am telling you about HD, however.
I personally work the system. I order something HD, like Shakeology, get it in the mail and moments after I get it, I email customerservice@teambeachbody.com and tell them to cancel my HD. The reason I do this is because if you order something HD, you get free shipping! And Shakeology is expensive enough by itself. You won't get any slack from TBB for doing this either so don't worry about that. So anyway, if you were looking to keep using Shakeology and didn't get Shakeologied out this weekend, this is the best way to order it. It's kind of like getting a discount! :)
Thank you so much! I am excited! Thanks for the heads up about Shakeology. I was planning on ordering it in the next week or two and try replacing one meal a day with it.
ReplyDeleteJust finished Fire 45 and it felt good, sweated ALOT!
Congrats Allie way to go! That is awesome!
