    Undenatured Whey Protein Shakes important part of cleansing and weight loss 

    “Cleansing” is a hot topic now in the U.S.  especially where I live in Colorado.  So in vogue now,  that it can cause one to just do nothing because of the daunting task to find a safe, reliable, and affordable system.

    There are many products and companies touting that they have the magic juice or ingredient to “cleanse” our body. However, data supports the importance of having a full spectrum nutritional intake to support the body in cleansing using both phase one and phase two pathways.

    The body has 2 main pathways of detoxification called phase one and phase two. Thus, it is important to  support our bodies with a mulititude of ingredients so it utilizes both pathways and not over burden any of our bodies natural cleansing abilities.  No single ingredient or process can achieve this goal.

    One very important component of cleansing to look for is the quality of protein one takes.  Because  Amino acids in protein shakes support the phase two process it is vital to purchase a high quality protein shake that is has a complete amino acid profile and is highly bioavailable.

    Independent testing shows that  bioactive ingredients other than whey proteins are important components in a meal replacement shake.  Some are  Cysteine, and amino peptide factors and growth factors.   When whey is heated the bioavailability of the food is compromised. Having a large array of  ingredients in one system is also economical.

    Look for a source of whey that is not the by product of cheese production, as this can harm the whey because of the heating that is needed.

    As quoted from an article written by Robert Harrison:

    “When the milk goes through a heating process (approx. 163 F), chemical modification and pH regulation to produce cheese. Each of these steps denatures (damages) the whey proteins.”

    Let’s look at one amino acid in particular:  Cysteine vs. Cystine

    “Biologically active whey protein that contains naturally occurring Cysteine is optimal for the intracellular production of Glutathione. If Cysteine undergoes any heating or processing, as all conventional dairy and dairy by-products do, it is denatured and converted to Cystine.”

    Glutathione is produced within our bodies and is vital for supporting phase 2 of detoxification. It is imperative that the protein profile offers our bodies this nutrition for safe cleansing.

    The Isalean shakes are undenatured whey protein from grass fed cows in New Zealand and are processed using a low temperature process.  They have the full amino acid profile needed to support phase 2 of the detoxification pathway.  This makes it the perfect compliment to the “cleanse for life” juice drink which supports the “phase one” pathway.

    Preventative health is more than just eating well and exercising.  It is finding a safe way to help rid the body ofharmful impurties that we encounter everyday. I have found that incorporating a comprehensive cleansing program that is easy to follow into my daily life has taken my health to a new level and has helped me reach my ideal weight and keep me there!

    Did You Miss This INDULGE WHILE YOU CLEANSE 

    http://dailyblabber.ivillage.com/entertainment/nancyodell.jpg

    “I lost seven pounds in, like, one week” isn’t the kind of statement you expect to hear from someone who’s had to cut back on her exercise regimen – but that’s just what Nancy O’Dell experienced after she turned from cardio to cleanses after being sidelined by a knee injury on Dancing with the Stars. The former daily runner tells PEOPLE that she turned to Isagenix, a cleansing and fat burning nutritional system, to maintain her physique. “You can eat as much as you want as long as you eat organic fruits and vegetables, and it has all the juices and stuff you drink with it,” she explains.

    Why wouldn’t you want to cleanse your body on a cellular level with Isagenix? 

    The information about harmful chemicals all around us is becoming more mainstream. Everyday there are articles, and news reports about how every day chemicals that we don’t even give a second thought about are being found to negatively impact our health.  In a recent letter from the Environmental Defense Fund they state “many of these chemicals have never been safety tested”.  So you ask might yourself, “what does this mean to me”?  Consider that one of the key issues the EDF is alerting us to is the fact that these chemicals have not been tested for their cumulative effects on our bodies, and they have not been tested on how they interact with each other in our bodies.  The National Geographic magazine in an article in the fall of 2006  addressed this very scary fact. So what do we do to help protect ourselves?

    Being in the medical field I was quite leery of, and continue to be leery of herbs for cleansing. So when I came across a proven system that was clinically tested, and had a proven track record of over several years, I became interested in learning more.  I had many questions and all were graciously answered by the associate who worked with me. I decided to use the system and within a few days had noticable results.  My weight loss and health improvement results were better than I ever dreamed they would be.

    Cleansing our internal bodies can be a simple and effective way to assist the body in releasing harmful impurities.  Isagenix offered me a way to “cleanse” my internal body while offering me a system with a proven track record, that has been clinically tested.

    If you would like to a copy of the National Geographic article or want to know more about the system I use, I invite you to view my web site and please contact me.    http://www.AileenHanson

    Re: Isagenix Questions: Keep it Flexible! Count Calories! Don’t Snack! Low Sodium! 

    Hello
    I am starting the cleanse Monday … Few questions … I would like my cleanse days to be Monday n Tuesday so can I do the pre cleanse for 1 day instead of two ?  And then only do 4 shake days to get my cleanse days on a Monday or Tuesday?
    Sure, keep it flexable. Make it fit your life so that you can stick to it.
    Yes, you can pre cleanse for just one day. But why?  You will have an extra shake day on the end of your program.
    Here is what that plan looks like:
    Shake Sun, Cleanse M + T, Shakes W – SUN (5 Days), Cleanse M + T, Shake W.
    It sounds like a good plan.
    You will do well.
    I hope this helps.
    Call or email anytime.
    Stay Healthy
    I am starting the plan Monday so I will pre cleanse Monday 1 day ..  cleanse Tuesday and Wednesday and then do the shakes from Thursday to sunday 4 days and cleanse Monday and Tuesday to get on a cleNse schedule of Monday to start my 30 day program … ;-$ is that ok ?
    It will be a little tougher this way, but your result should be the same.
    I think you can do it.  Talking to you, I know you are really ready for this.
    Sticky to the program and not cheating is the key.
    Have you got some meals planed yet?

    Why would it be tougher this way ?
    Yes I have took some ideas from the menu u sent over and I will use them or brown rice and beans … Very simple basic and whole grains or veggies … But for the most part I will haveing hummus , tofu , brown rice , beans , or salad   Thanx again
    Tougher because the pre cleanse days give you the nutrients you need to be really healthy going to the cleanse days.  Also, the 5 shake days are easy compared to the cleanse days.  Making it just 4, will cut down on the number of ‘easy days’.
    However, you are unique.  You know, most people do not eat as healthy as you do and are not as mentally prepared for the cleanse days the way you are.  I can’t wait until you start.  It’s fun working with you because you are so committed.  Most people are looking for cheats and have all kinds of excuses.  You are determined. Keep me updated.
    Also, I don’t know if I told you this, but I used Amy’s organic frozen meals when I first started.  They counted the calories for me, provided variety and they were yummy.
    Stay Healthy

    I might so two pre cleanse days them and only 3 shake days then cleanse again but whatever is best I will do I go back to work next weds so I am trying to make my cleanse days Mon n Tuesday so when I go to work I can eat n not feel deprived … If u have any suggestions let me know .. I plan on starting Monday ! So I have from now till to Monday to figure out the days n plan it ! Thanx soo much
    Do the first plan.  1 pre Cleanse day, 2 Cleanse Days, 4 shake days, 2 cleanse days, 2 shake days.  This will work.
    Hey, I checked out the amys organic meals and some if not most are higher in fat then I expected … Most of them are 12 gms of fat or more … Is that ok ?
    It’s is exactly what I used on my first 9 day.
    I had great success!
    Ok I just picked some up but they r high in sodium too ! Is that ok??
    Yeah.  They are a little high in sodium, but they worked for me.  Salt really can make you hold water, but the amount in one meal will not effect you.
    Here is the math- There’s about 780 mg in the Amy’s meal in my fridge.  In each shake there’s about 115mg.   So, that’s 780 + 230 = 1010mg per day.  The recommended daily allowance of sodium is between 1,500 and 2,400 milligrams (mg) a day for healthy adults. Keep in mind that the lower your sodium, the more beneficial effect on blood pressure and the less water you will retain.
    So, 1010 sounds safe.
    Working with you is fun.
    Do you mind if I post some of your questions or put them in our Newsletter.
    Stay Healthy
    Sounds good to me ! And I would be honored if you posted my questions :-) I guess I ask good ones haha

    Do you know anyone with thyroid problems? 

    Something as common as a dough conditioner, potassium bromate, used in commercial bakery products has been associated with thyroid dysfunction. This ingredient may be used even in whole grain breads.

    Another major contributor to thyroid dysfunction  is unfermented soy. Soy isoflavones can wreak havoc on your thyroid.

    Read your labels. Keep yourself informed.

    Isagenix protein meal replacement shakes are made from the highest grade organic undenatured whey, not soy. You can read all the ingredients in the Isagenix product line on my home page: http://www.AileenHanson.com

    There are Isagenix Snacks include in your System 

    There are Isagenix Snacks include in your system and those are for cleanse days.  You can use them on Shake days to ward of cravings, but they are an important part of your cleanse day, so do not forget them!

    You’ll have 6 of them on a cleanse day.  Spread them out about every 2-3hours.  They will help you get though cravings.

    Other examples of things you can have on a cleanse day- hard boiled egg, 3-5 raw almonds or walnuts or half an organic apple or pear.  It is OK to have something like these snacks if you really feel you just ‘NEED SOMETHING”.   The truth is your body is still being nourished and you don’t need it, but you may want it and these are some very good choices.

    Remember the more closely you follow the program the quicker your results.  So, no treats other than the Isagenix Snacks is best, but make it work for you.

    On Shake days you’ll have 2 shakes and 1 meal 400-600 calories.  Make it flexible.  Start with a shake for breakfast and one for lunch if that works for you.  If you need something to snack on between those two meals or late night, the Isagenix snacks are ok, but so are the other snacks we talked about.  Remember to minus out the calories from your 400-600 meal.  Try having a 400 calorie dinner and a 200 calorie snack like apple with peanut butter or cottage cheese with fresh fruit.  Frozen organic meals are great for calorie counting and they keep you out of the kitchen if you are a nibbler.
    You’ll love your results!

    Let’s talk more on Facebook and if you don’t want to cleanse alone be sure to join our group cleanse on Facebook too!
