My Results with the Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse

(Partial) Results of the 9-Day Cleanse

Today is the official weigh and measure day after doing the the Isagenix 9-Day Cleanse. No, it's not a diet, it's a "cleanse" that has the curious side affect of taking off pounds. Whatever. :)

Now, I want to be completely truthful here, so this weight-loss is the result of the 9-Day Cleanse PLUS two pre-cleanse days when I was weaning myself off caffeine and sugar, but no matter how you want to look at it, my total weight-loss at this point is...

Fifteen and a half pounds!

I have *never* lost fifteen pounds in less than two weeks before! It makes my goal of 25 pounds in a month look very likely!

Reading other people's experiences I've seen where the day after a cleanse some people "splurge" and eat things they've been denied -- and I wonder what's going through their heads? Why would you take something you worked for, and knowingly sabotage it?!

Not to say I didn't cheat during my cleanse -- I did. But it wasn't planned, and it wasn't an entire day of cheating. In fact, the dinner at which I "cheated" was teriyaki chicken, rice, and salad, and I left a little of almost everything there. Plus, I didn't order my normal diet Coke or dessert, so I feel pretty good about the experience.

I guess everyone is different, but I don't want to go back to where I was. I don't want to eat the way I used to eat. Okay, sometimes when my wife is cooking something for the kids that's not good for this diet, I'll think, "Man, that smells SO good!" -- but that's just the truth -- it does smell good. But the truth is also that it isn't mine. It's not my food. It's not what I'm going to eat!

One more thing -- I haven't had any caffeinated drinks in about 10 days now. That's a freaking record for me for the past 20 years or so!
