Day 2 Cutting Nutritionally Deficient Foods and Adding High Protein Diet Foods

Today is April 10th and…

WE ARE EMBARKING ON A VERY EXCITING JOURNEY!  Welcome to Day 2 of the Total Transformation Challenge!

This journey will help you transform and experience good health, youthful vitality and healthy weight loss. To help reinforce healthier habits, you may wish to write about your journey in a daily journal. Write down your dreams, hopes, challenges and record your calorie intake.  This will both encourage you and keep you honest!  Start writing Now!

Remember too that each participant in the Challenge is asked to Weight themselves each day. If you still need a tracking chart email Gabby@CleanseMyself.com.

You will also be keeping track of your good choices and prizes will be awarded to the those that stick to the plan and make great choices!  Our goal for the Total Transformation Challenge is to encourage you to Eat Healthy, so you will be asked to count  your calories and make good choices.  Both things that we already know are good for us, but we don’t always do.

If, right know you know your are struggling with good choices and you are consume unhealthy foods, today is the day to begin reducing your intake of sugar, fatty, processed foods and even caffeine. Start this process by gradually cutting back on nutritionally deficient foods:

• If you’re going out to lunch with co-workers, skip the cheeseburger and enjoy a grilled chicken salad with only half the dressing you normally use.
• Substitute green tea or water for your second cup of coffee.
• Instead of choosing a sugar cookie as a snack, eat a fresh pear or celery sticks with a tablespoon of peanut butter.
• Choose whole-grain bread instead of white bread.
• Whole-grain pasta is a delicious substitute for standard pasta.

If doing everything at once feels too overwhelming, cut back on one unhealthy food every day until you’ve reached your goal. This gradual substitution will allow your palate and body to better adapt to a healthier diet, which will make it easier for for you to continue your Transformation!

Try to really think about what you eat.  Remember the old saying, “You are what you eat!”  Well,  it’s true!  So, if you are currently facing the reality that putting unhealthy foods in your body gives you unhealthy results, today you will start doing something about it!! Today is the start of a NEW HEALTHY YOU!  Today you will CONTINUE your transformation!

Watching this will help you quit some of those “Bad” foods –

Now, let’s make sure you have a plan to follow and you have the cooking supplies that you will need.  Now is the time to run out for meal and snack preparations that you will need for the rest of the week.

It’s a good idea to determine your snack and meal plan for the week now to reduce the opportunities to stray from the Challenge Guidelines.

Here are some things to think about when you prepare your meals:

High-protein diets have become a popular way to lose weight because emerging research has hinted that protein may be able to satisfy hunger better than either fats or carbohydrates.  WebMd says, “High-protein diets may help people lose weight — at least in the short term — because dieters tend to feel full longer when they eat more protein. This alone can cut down on snacking and lead to fairly rapid weight loss. Combine speedy weight loss with the satisfaction of feeling full, and it’s easy to understand why high-protein diets are popular. Unfortunately, many people gain back the weight once the diet ends.”

Good choices include:

Nuts, Yogurt, Beans of any kind,  Lean Cuts of Red Meat, Eggs(Hard Boiled is Best), Chicken w/out skin, Tofu, Pork Tenderloin, Fish of ANY kind and of course IsaLean Shakes and Bars.

REMEMBER:  Everybody needs to Drink 80 oz of Water, Sleep 8 Hours and Exercise for at least 20 Minutes every day of the CHALLENGE!

EAT RIGHT, DRINK RIGHT,  SLEEP RIGHT, EXERCISE RIGHT and You Will FEEL RIGHT!

Today is a Shake Day.  Today you’ll have 2 Shakes and One Meal – 400-600 Calories, but Mark your calendar NOW! Saturday and Sunday WE CLEANSE!  So, get what you need now!

HERE IS YOUR DAY PLANNER FOR Monday – Friday this week:

Morning

When you wake up, drink 1–2 glasses of purified water. If you have Ionix Supreme now is the time for 1-2 oz and if you must 1 Cup Green Tea or other Tea is OK.  Coffee is not a great choice – sorry, but there are only 35 more days!

Breakfast

Mix 2 scoops of IsaLean Shake with 8 oz. of purified water. Take 1 Natural Accelerator™ capsule.  Mid-morning

Have a small snack.  Pick one option from the “Sensible Snack Ideas” chart in your Isagenix System Guide or from the Tips section below.  This snack should equal 100 calories or less.

Lunch

Many people following an Isagenix Program eat their meal during lunch to help break up the two shakes. If you prefer, you can eat your meal for dinner. Eat a balanced meal of 400-600 calories (400 if you are having snacks, 600 if you are not).  Protein, veggies and whole grains are great food options. Skip the butter or fatty dressings.

Mid-afternoon

If you’re hungry, have a piece of fruit, cucumber slices, 1 IsaDelight Plus, a few stalks of celery or a few unsalted raw almonds. Take one Natural Accelerator capsule with your snack or with water . 100 calorie max.

Dinner

You’ll either have your second shake or your meal for the day. See below for good meal and snack choices and then check out these recipes -> Low-Cal Entrees CLICK HERE.

Tips:

We want to make sure that you have made a list of all the healthy steps you will be take during the Challenge and all the snacks and foods you’ll need to have on hand.  If don’t have them already, this step is important and may take some extra time today. Here’s what you will need during the Challenge: Meals Ideas: SEE ABOVE 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 favorites! 1 cup plain nonfat yogurt topped with 1 Tbsp. IsaCrunch ½ cup 1% fat cottage cheese topped with 1 Tbsp.  3 slivered raw almonds or 4 cherry tomatoes 1 hard boiled egg with no salt 10 raw almonds soaked in water in the fridge over night Whole wheat sesame flat bread  topped with ½ Tbsp. all-natural peanut butter 3 oz. tuna or salmon, packed in water, served with 1 sliced plum tomato and drizzled with fresh lemon juice ½ cup steel-cut oats topped with ½ cup fresh berries 1 cup blueberries, strawberries or raspberries and 1 brown rice cake ½ cup red and yellow pepper, celery, or carrot strips dipped into  4 Tbsp. humus 1 cup mixed melon balls (cantaloupe, watermelon and honeydew) topped with 1/4 cup nonfat vanilla yogurt 1 brown rice cake topped with ½ Tbsp. raw almond butter ½ a sliced apple or pear with 5 walnut halves 1 navel orange with ½ cup nonfat plain yogurt Also try IsaDelights and Isagenix Slim Cake Cookies! Cleanse Day Support Options for Saturday and Sunday:  The less snacking 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
