"This was my first time doing any sort of cleanse so I can tell you I was really nervous at first, because I was on a limit of what I could eat. Day 1 was hard, by 9am I was craving my mid-morning snack because that is when I am used to eating it, but on 5he cleanse you are allowed 2 pieces of fruit a day so I grabbed my piece of fruit. I was also starting to feel lightheaded and sick to my stomach, but I was determined to finish this cleanse and told myself I could do it. I got a huge water bottle and probably filled it about 6 times through out my day. By 5pm I was starving I had no idea what to do, and it is partly because I worked out after work and I wouldn't suggest doing that again! If you are going to workout then choose something low impact such as Yoga, walking or Tai Cheng.
Since Day 1 was a little rough I took it easier on the second day. I knew what to expect so it was a breeze to get through, but I was feeling a little exhausted and that is because of the low calorie intake, but I just pushed right through it. The Shakeology cleanse is a calorie restricted cleanse. So you are still eating it is just restricted to a low number of calories which can lead to low energy.
On day 3 I was absolutely exhausted and I felt like the day was never going to end. Time was moving so slow and no matter how much water I drank I could not stay full. I thought I was going to be stuck on Day 3 forever. Overall, Day 1 and 3 were the hardest, but I had the mindset I was determined to do this and stick with it and I knew this was going to benefit me and make me feel better after completed. I lost a total of 5lbs in 3 days!! Never thought I would have come close to losing that much weight in 3 days. Afterwards I felt a great sense of accomplishment and I felt great about my body. Next time I do the cleanse I know what to expect. I know what kind of mind frame you have to have, but I would drink way more water than ever, get lots and lots of rest, and certainty take it easy on the intense workouts for those three days."- Alyssa
