| CONGRATULATIONS ON STARTING A JOURNEY OF A LIFETIME!
During the Turkey Challenge you will be encouraged to Sleep, Eat, Drink and Exercise “Right”! All things that we know we should do, but often we don’t. During the Turkey Challenge WE WILL!
TODAYS TASK: It’s Time! Go on a SHOPPING SPREE!
Let’s go through our list of things you need to do before starting the Challenge. Do you have everything you will need for the challenge? How are you doing at cutting back on unhealthy foods? Have you talked with friends and family about supporting you through your exciting transformation? If you said yes, GREAT JOB! If you have not yet completed these tasks, then get on it!
Today, let’s go food shopping. Shop for the foods that you placed on your list that first day and remove tempting, unhealthy foods from your home. Before you hit the market, give away or throw out unhealthy foods that may lead you to stray from the Challenge.
OK! Let’s go shopping for fresh, whole foods and produce—organic is preferred.
Have fun with this shopping experience. Try new fruits and vegetables on your Shake Days. On Cleanse Days, unsalted almonds, fruits and vegetables that are low on the glycemic scale are a must: Think apples, berries, pears, broccoli and celery.
Here’s what you will need durring the Turkey Challenge:
Essential for All Days:
80 oz of Pure water (bottled or purified with a filter) EVERY DAY
20 Minutes or more of Exercise EVERYDAY
8 HOURS of Sleep EVERYNIGHT

Organic vegetables, such as broccoli, green beans, lettuce and tomatoes
Whole grains, such as brown rice and barley
Frozen Dinners by Kashi or Amy’s Organics
Snack Ideas: Losing weight is not easy. It takes effort and commitment. To ward off the hungries on Shake Days, having fresh and easy snacks that are low cal and healthy is essential. Try these yummy favorite:

Also try IsaDelights and Isagenix Slim Cake Cookies!
Cleanse Day Support Options: The less snaking the better but if you have to here are a few options-
- 1 to 2 IsaDelight Plus can be taken twice daily 30 minutes before eating Isagenix Snacks! or two hours after.
Important: the amino acids in IsaDelight Plus encourage natural production of mood-elevating brain chemicals which can help satisfy appetite. Amino acids found in protein from foods can interfere, so IsaDelight Plus should be consumed on an empty stomach.
- For a boost of energy or to manage blood sugar, eat ¼ apple or pear.
- 2 Raw almonds every 2 hours taste great with the IsaSnacks.
- Try a hard boiled egg wrapped in a letus leaf if you really feel like you ‘can’t make it’.
When you’ve stocked your kitchen with healthy foods that will enhance your cleansing lifestyle, you’re positioning yourself for success.
