The Skinny on Beachbody's 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse

I've been drinking Shakeology now for many months and can't begin to tell you how much it has helped my wife & I in addition to so many people we know and love.  But once I start telling folks about how great it is I simply can't hardly stop.  Who wouldn't want to lose weight, feel energized & lower their cholesterol, naturally by having one of these delicious shakes once a day?

So enough of the commercial.  You simply have to try it for yourself!  Why not?  It has a 30 day, bottom of the bag guarantee.  You can use it all and Beachbody will still refund your money if you don't like it.  (Also message me if you'd like to get Shakeology at a 25% discount off of retail)

Some time back I started seeing posts about this "Shakeology Cleanse".  It was all over Beachbody, Facebook and Twitter.  Lots of my fellow Beachbody Coaches & other users of Shakeology were raving about doing or completing the "cleanse".  I was a bit intrigued but obviously not enough to give it a try myself.  I was a little leary simply because I was either doing P90X, Insanity or RevAbs and feared "bonking" on my workouts due to the low daily calorie count during the cleanse.

Well last week I finally decided to commit to doing "The 3 Day Shakeology Cleanse".  I was in my "recovery" week of P90X between phase 1 and phase 2 and decided I would skip a few recovery workouts to get it done.  I had also just came off a week of Spring Break with my wife & boys.  I felt like my nutrition was decent during Spring Break but I have to admit that I had more than just one cheat day or one cheat meal.  I felt sluggish and icky for the first part of my recovery week and finally told myself "Just do it".  I started my 3 day cleanse on a Thursday morning knowing good and well it would be a challenge.  We had multiple baseball games scheduled with my 2 boys and ballparks don't cater to the health-minded population.  I planned accordingly and stuck to the plan to a T.

Final results astounded not only me but my personal Beachbody Coach and others.  I managed to drop a total of 11 pounds from Wednesday night leading into the cleanse until Sunday morning after the cleanse.  I'm not sure where it all came from but I can tell you that 2.75 inches disappeared from around my waistline!  I felt so much better, energized and ready to rock phase 2 of P90X and it's been a great week for my workouts and keeping my nutrition cleaner since. 

I highly encourage anyone to join me in working daily toward your own health & fitness goals!  I'll even help you for free.  Join me here.
