I am not a fan of fad diets or wasting my time reading books about what foods I should eat to live longer. I am a fairly healthy person, but I do have a hidden love affair with bar food. There is nothing like a plate of nachos at 2 am. However, in an effort to grab the proverbial reins of my life, I have decided to try some new things.
I just started Isagenix. I ordered the box months ago and it never made it farther than the trunk of my car. I finally decided to open it yesterday and inside I found some pretty intense and very intimidating information. The first step is to measure all of your body parts and add up your “total inches.” My total inches are 283.75; however, I’m sure without my Victoria’s Secret push up, I would have a significantly lower total.
So I had two days of “pre-cleansing” where I had a sensible meal and snack and two shakes. The Vanilla shake taste more like a stale cinnamon roll and the wild berry cleaning drink taste exactly like watered down robitussin. BUT, to my excitement, a bottle of “snacks” were included. I unscrewed the cap and ripped out the cotton to find white wafers that look like industrial strength Tums. They smelled like cake icing so I went for a little cheat of a nibble. To my dismay, they were probably the worst product in the box coming in just past the “natural accelerator” supplement pills that taste like my pee smells after I have too much asparagus. It’s wonderful.
So, I am 2 pounds down in one day…I am trying to continue to cautiously embrace this Cleansing, but really…all this may do is make me hate life.
Ps, I am going to the LSU game AND the Saints game this weekend. Great fun you would think right? I did too until I read the tiny little green “success tip” box which read “Cleanse days are a good time to reduce and eliminate any caffeine, alcohol and/sugar consumption.” Really? This is day 2 of a 9 day process.
My apologies if you are unfortunate enough to encounter my harsh mood if I continue on this borderline starvation plan.
