Isagenix – Week 1

My “30-day cleanse” package of products arrived within 4 days. I’ve never done a cleanse before as it’s always brought up nasty thoughts about sitting in the bathroom 80% of my day … this isn’t one of those. Instead, it’s quite simple. Most days I just replace my morning and evening meals with a meal-replacement shake that, to my surprise, tastes pretty good. Then, on the actual cleanse day, I’m taking this liquid 4 times / day … it tastes a bit funny, but isn’t something that would make you gag.

I did make a few trips to the washroom, but most of them were for #1, as part of the cleanse day is to drink a ton of water (which I drank about 16). I went pretty hungry, but not starving, so it was manageable. However, a couple days later, I discussed this with my roommate (who has done the program for a couple months already) and he said that you are allowed to eat, just not any big meals … good thing to note for next weeks cleanse day.

I feel a bit more energy, but it’s hard to really know if that’s just psychological or not. Some people claim headaches and the such, but I’ve had no side affects that i’m aware of.
