It’s Officially, Day 6 of the Turkey Challenge and you’re probably starting to see the results that you want. Many people reported yesterday pounds and inches lost, as well as an increase in energy.

If you are experiencing these changes, great job! Keep going and continue to Stick with It!

If you’re not noticing more energy and healthy weight loss, let’s figure out why.

• Have you gotten rid of all of your tempting foods? If no, then are you allowing any of these foods to tempt you away from the system?
• Are you getting enough fiber? If constipation is an issue, there are many natural solutions, like prunes or Isagenix FiberPro™.  Each are effective solution, which you can easily incorporate into your diet. Not only does Isagenix Fiber Pro include five types of plant fiber. IsaFlush® is another option and contains nutritious magnesium, which can help the colon relax and work more effectively.
• Are all of the members of your support team helping you? Are any of them hurting you? Sometimes people don’t want loved ones to change out of fear. If there is a “problem person” on your support team, talk to them about really helping you succeed.
• Is excessive stress a barrier to changing your health? Do you eat to comfort yourself? If yes, then find another way to alleviate stress, like running, walking, reading or meditating.
• Are you following the Eat Right Plan or the Isagenxi 9 Day System as closely as you’re able? If you’re not, then commit to following the two remaining 4 days as closely as possible.
• Are you getting enough sleep, drinking enough water and exercising every day.  If not, these are keys to improved health and weight loss.  Go get your smilie faces!
• Journalling will also hep.  Write down every calorie that passes your lips. Keep in mind, our max is 1500 during the Challenge.

Your health is worth the time and effort that you are investing. If you’re doing well on Turkey Challenge, GREAT! If not, then it’s never too late to change your habits and commit to greater health. You can absolutely do this!

Good luck today!

Of course you have heard and understand the the truth behind the statement, “You are what you eat!”  But, have you considered the possibility that, “You are what you think!”  When interviewed, every time WINNER in anything will tell you that they always new that they would get what they wanted.  They never allowed any other thoughts to enter their minds. This cute story exemplifies this beautifully:

TINY FROGS

There once was a bunch of tiny frogs … who arranged a running competition. The goal was to reach the top of a very high tower. A big crowd had gathered around the tower to see the race and cheer on the contestants…

The race began… No one in the crowd really believed that the tiny frogs would reach the top of the tower. You heard statements such as: ”Oh, WAY too difficult!!” ”They will NEVER make it to the top.” The tiny frogs began collapsing. The crowd continued to yell, ”It is too difficult!!! No one will make it!” More tiny frogs got tired and gave up… …But ONE continued higher and higher and higher… This one wouldn’t give up! He was the only one who reached the top! All of the other tiny frogs naturally wanted to know how this one frog managed to do it? A contestant asked the tiny frog how he had found the strength to succeed and reach the goal?

It turned out that the winner was DEAF!!!!

The wisdom of this story:

• Never listen to other people’s tendencies to be negative or pessimistic. They take your most wonderful dreams and wishes away from you — the ones you have in your heart!
• Always think of the power words have. Even our own.  Everything you hear and read will affect your actions!
• BE POSITIVE! And above all, be DEAF when people tell you that you cannot fulfill your dreams! Always think: I can do this!

Keep your attitude in mind as you continue on your journey towards health and wellness with the Turkey Challenge, it’s important to stay focused on why you are doing this and how you can reach—and maintain—your goals.

Did you know that nearly 95% of Dieter that lose weight, gain it back in a year!  This is because people follow diets and then stop when they reach their weight loss target.  They go off the diet and regain even more weight than they lost.  Now, is the time to start planning your maintenance program for life!  With the right attitude and the right plan you can achieve your goals and keep your results long after the Turkey Challenge is over.  YOU CAN DO IT!

Eating Right and Nutritional Cleansing aren’t really diets,  they are both healthy was to live a long. And both can help you hold onto all of your Challenge Rewards—including weight loss.

As you continue with Challenge, you may feel vitality returning to your body, see the pounds melting off and lean body mass building. When you complete Challenge, don’t abandon the changes you have made— embrace this NEW YOU!

If you have more weight to lose, or want to continue to improve your health and fitness, Stick with IT!  If you are following the Isagenix 9 Day program it will be time to move on to the Isagenix 30-Day Cleansing and Fat Burning System.  It is the ideal choice for those individuals who want to keep lose weight with a flexible program.

If you have reached you weight loss goal, Stick with It, continue to make good choices, but have a little bit more flexibility.  If you are following an Isagenix program, move on to the Total Health and Wellness Program to help you maintain the health gains from the 9-Day or 30-Day System. This system helps you maintain higher energy, lean body mass and a healthier lifestyle.

So, as you continue to reap the benefits of the Turkey Challenge, don’t worry about those frightening diet stats—you are not on a diet. You are being introduced to a lifestyle that will help you reach and maintain your long-term health goals!

You’re doing great, so keep up the good work and remember that we will be reporting results tomorrow!

• 21 Reasons to Cleanse and Replenish With Isagenix (livingdreamteam.com)

Total Body Internal Cleansing is hot topic, and for good reason. We live in a very toxic world. Herbicides, petrochemicals, hydrocarbons, heavy metals, food additives and synthetic drugs can have an adverse effect on our cells, internal organs and state of health. 20 million pounds of antibiotics were injected into our farm animals last year alone. There are so many insecticides and pesticides on our fruits and vegetables that these noxious chemicals seem to have become part of our food pyramid. We are chronically exposed to harmful substances.

Because our soils are poisoned with chemicals and pollution and are continually stripped of their nutrient base many of our foods are not supplying our bodies with the necessary nutrients – primarily minerals – to perform optimally. The nutritionally bankrupt body is an invitation to illness and disease.

America is in a true health crisis and preventable diseases are out of control. Cardiovascular disease is epidemic, 44 million people suffer from arthritis, 18 million have diabetes, 17 million suffer from asthma, 1 in 8 women develop breast cancer and 18 million children are obese. For the first time in history we are actually seeing a decline in the American life-span.

According to the Journal of American Medical Association, obesity, poor physical activity and the resultant associated illnesses are overtaking tobacco as the leading cause of preventable death in this country. Obesity cost America $117 Billion in 2000 according to the Surgeon General. Obesity has been linked to several serious medical conditions, including:

• Heart Disease and Stroke

• Type II Diabetes

• High Blood Pressure

• Osteoarthritis

• Gallbladder Stones and Dysfunction • Sleep Apnea

• High Cholesterol

• Chronic Back Pain

• Bladder Control Problems Such as Stress Incontinence

• Complications of Pregnancy

• Severe Depression

• Cancer (Uterine, Cervical, Ovarian, Breast, Liver, Multiple Myeloma, Non-Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, Pancreatic, Colon and Prostate)

“Visceral” fat (fat carried in the abdominal area) poses an even higher risk of heart disease, cancer and diabetes. Supporting our body’s natural cleansing abilities helps combat this problem.

Since 1976, the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) has been engaged in the National Human Adipose Tissue Survey (NHATS). In this study, adipose (fat) samples were taken from cadavers and elective surgeries from all regions of the country and the levels of toxins were measured. Twenty toxic compounds were found in 76% or more of all samples! These ongoing assessments have shown quite clearly that it is not a question of if we are carrying too many toxic compounds, but how much and how do they harm us. The ever increasing illness and disease in this country are indicative of how vital it is to cleanse and replenish NOW!

[1] Strengthen The Immune System. Cleansing impurities and flooding the body with high grade essential nutrients supports the immune system. Some studies indicate that a healthy dose of high grade, absorbable protein may strengthen your immune system by as much as 500%.

[2] Love Your liver. A clean, healthy liver supports metabolism and burns fat. A healthy

liver promotes normal thyroid function and when the thyroid is healthy, your metabolism and energy levels escalate.

[3] Support Healthy Brain Chemistry. When 3 your body can effectively absorb and digest fats and protein, it converts these nutrients into healthy brain chemicals. When your brain chemistry is aligned, you will make healthier food selections.

[4] Restore Antioxidants. Toxic compounds create “free radicals” that have the potential

to damage cellular DNA. Antioxidants are substances that block free radical formation and destroy already formed free radicals.

[5] Free yourself from stress. In herbal medicine, adaptogens are used to help the body

“adapt” to imbalances that stress the body externally or internally. Replenishing the body’s needed adaptogens assists in the body’s own self-regulatory systems, thus reducing stress.,

[6] Maximize Absorption Of Essential Nutrients. Maximizing absorption of nutrients helps to fuel the internal body to support all major organ systems including the circulatory, musculoskeletal and neurological systems.

[7] Aid Digestion. Herbs such as suma, peppermint, fennel seed and licorice have been used

in many cultures to support and aid in digestion. Peppermint is a nontoxic digestive remedy that can provide relief from gas, bloating, nausea and gastric upset. Peppermint has a calming effect on the smooth muscle of the intestinal tract and is felt to promote the flow of bile from the gallbladder into the small bowel, thus aiding in the digestion of fats.

[8] Rejuvenate Your Cells With Ionic Minerals. Minerals are the key to enzyme activation in

our digestive tract. When minerals are present, our intestines allow for ultimate absorption of vitamins and essential nutrients. Modern lifestyle has taken its toll on our digestive/elimination organs. Ionic (charged) minerals are the most easily absorbed by our body.

[9] Support Your Vital Organs. If your body is overwhelmed with impurities, gentle cleansing herbs and essential nutrients can allow it to eliminate impurities through the liver (the major detoxifying organ of the body), colon, urinary tract, sweat glands, skin pores and the lymphatic system much more effectively.

[10] Lose Weight And Feel Great. Studies have shown that fat cells can provide the perfect environment for holding onto impurities. This is our body’s natural mechanism for protecting itself from dangerous, possibly deadly impurities. Cleansing aids in the body’s ability to flush fat and increase metabolism.

[11] Eliminate Unhealthy Cravings. The healthy body will crave healthy things. The unhealthy body will crave unhealthy things. Cleansing and replenishing allows the internal body to create an environment that craves good, nutritious food.

[12] Enhance Cellular Communication. Our cells want two things: good nutrients and a clean environment in which to communicate. Cleansing provides our cells with both.

[13] Build Muscle. Cleansing and then replenishing with natural organic whey protein provides the body with essential amino acids that are the building blocks for the development of lean, dense muscle.

[14] Restore Normal Sugar Levels. Abnormal sugar levels have been linked to serious health challenges and are often the result of weight gain. Effective weight loss and fueling of the body can aid in the body’s ability to restore normal sugar levels.

[15] Beautify the Skin. Our skin is the largest organ of our body. Cleansing and replenishing rejuvenates our skin, making us appear younger and more supple.

[16] Create Abundant Energy. Better sleep cycles may be achieved through cleansing to provide the body with stamina, energy and mental clarity throughout the waking hours.

[17] Balance Your Hormonal System. Cleansing and replenishing can balance hormone levels and lead to a feeling of constant well being, increased stamina and increased sexual desire.

[18] Slow the Effects of Aging. Toxins and nutritional deficiency can lead to premature aging

on an internal and external level. Cleansing and replenishing allows our cells the ability to attack the affects of aging head on. A younger appearance along with incredible energy is often the result!

[19] Renewed Desire To Exercise. Often times when you cleanse and replenish the body with high grade essential nutrients you have a renewed sense to start an exercise program The health benefits of exercise are endless.

[20] Enhance Elimination. Refined. processed, low fiber foods, animal fats, lack of exercise,

dehydration and an ever-increasing level of stress all contribute to an irritable bowel and to sluggish elimination from the intestinal tract. Cellular cleansing and replenishing with fiber rich nutrients allows for better colonic elimination of impurities and is essential in the prevention of intestinal disorders.

[21] Ultimate Quality of Life!! Cleansing and refueling the body is a revolutionary approach to optimal health and weight management. “Traditional Diets” are often imbalanced and neither strengthen the immune system nor rid the body of toxins. Imbalanced diets rob the body of essential nutrients and only offer temporary results, Why not embrace a program that gives your body the right nutrients, the right balance and the ability to once and for all chronically defend itself against the battle of the bulge?

• Where Can I Buy An Isagenix 30 Cleansing and Fat Burning System (livingdreamteam.com)

There is a very simple formula by which you can determine the most effective heart rate for you to lose weight and get fit.  Broken down into basic terms your heart is a large pump that pushes oxygenated blood from your lungs to the rest of your body.  Your muscles depend on this oxygenated blood to perform like God intended them to.  In addition, your heart rate not only tells you how hard you are working, but also whether or not your workout is effective in your efforts to lose weight.

If you would like to learn more about how knowing your heart can help you to lose weight you can visit our site below. If you would like to get more information about Isagenix systems, products and paks and how they can work in tandem with a solid workout regimen to help you to reach  your fitness and weight loss goals, then you can either call us toll free at 1-866-982-DIET (3438) or you can visit our website at http://www.cleansebenefits.com.

“Have you tried the HCG diet yet?” That was the question going around my local gym at the beginning of this year.  I will admit, it intrigued me.  I had put on about 10 pounds over the previous holidays – on top of the 10 I had yet to lose from baby #4.

Even though I knew the claims sounded too good to be true, I kept hearing more and more people talking about it.  Then on a visit to an Anti-Aging Clinic to get my hormones tested I saw a brochure that said they offered the HCG diet.  Just the previous day a gym acquaintance had casually glanced at me and said those dreaded words, “Are you having another baby?”  She was so embarrassed when I shook my head No, but I was even more shocked.  Did I really look like I was pregnant?  Had I really put that much weight back on?

During the free consultation at the clinic, they offered to tell me more about the HCG, and in my vulnerable state – I said, “Yes!” and started right away.

Honestly, giving myself injections did not bother me. I was the one in science class that liked dissecting the pig. What did bother me was that my 18 month old would mimic me pulling up my top and stabbing myself.  Remember they are always watching!

What also bothered me was the all out, full blown hunger that I experienced during the HCG diet!  I have never been so hungry in my life.  And because I was so hungry I was not pleasant to be around. My husband and children never said anything, but I realized I was a raving witch (or substitute a b for the w).  I have never had so much compassion for the children and adults around the world that have to live with that kind of hunger every single day.

I also noticed that if I strayed just a tiny bit from the 6 kinds of vegetables or 3 kinds of fruits allowed, especially if I had any fats at all, my weight would immediately go up.  So basically slip up once and all of your starving for the last 2 or 3 days was for nothing!

Did I lose any weight?  Yes, I did lose about 14 pounds in about 30 days on the HCG diet. (I could not finish the complete 40 days).  I also gained more than half of that back in about a week!

That is when my husband put Isagenix back in front of me.  Isagenix got me back to my pre-pregnancy weight before, so he wanted me to try it again.

Wow – what a difference.  I guess sometimes you need to experience something else to make you appreciate what you already had.  With Isagenix I wasn’t anywhere near as hungry. Yes, sometimes a cleanse day can be a little difficult, but it is just one or two cleanse days – not a whole month!  With Isagenix I lost the weight I had put back on from the HCG diet, plus another 7 pounds.  All in about 3 weeks – and at a fraction of the cost of the HCG.

So on Isagenix, I could mess up a little and be human without blowing the whole thing, I could eat chocolate every day, and be someone my family enjoyed spending time with – and have great weight loss results!

I promise, no more seeing if the grass is greener on the other side, Isagenix is the solution for me!

Isagenix did!  Here’s what they found:

‘Just what is it that makes Isagenix’s IsaLean® Shakes superior to other meal replacement drinks? Isagenix’s no-compromise, quality ingredients!

We’re are all bombarded every day by product advertisements for Shakes and other meal replacement drinks that are filled with mediocre and sometimes suspicious ingredients. Companies might say the products help people lose weight quickly, but they’re lacking in nutrition and often unsafe and unreliable for long-term weight loss.

IsaLean Shakes are different. Isagenix uses only high-quality ingredients to create the perfect balance of protein, carbs and fats designed to boost metabolism and weight loss while preserving muscle and promoting health. IsaLean Shakes contain superior nutrition compared to other meal replacement shakes on the market. IsaLean Shakes contain exclusively sourced IsaPro® Complex, the highest quality whey protein concentrate and casein protein from the world’s largest dairy group in New Zealand, whose standards exceed the USDA organic standards. The cows are pasture-fed and not treated with hormones or antibiotics. The protein in our shakes is extracted from the milk using a proprietary technology that no other company in the world can mimic. As a result, IsaLean Shakes contain lower lactose levels and a superior amino acid profile. IsaLean Shakes also contain Ionic Alfalfa™—our proprietary blend of supercharged rare Earth minerals to keep the body running at peak performance.

Here’s why Isagenix’s nutrient-dense shakes beat the competition and have helped hundreds of thousands of people to shed unwanted pounds and achieve optimum health:

1. Low Sugar. Isagenix shakes have far less sugar than other meal replacement drinks. There’s half the sugar than you’ll find in Slim-Fast Original Shakes.
2. Fill You Up. Isagenix shakes have seven grams of dietary fiber to help you feel fuller, keep blood sugar stable and support heart and colon health. Other shakes like Myoplex® Original have half the fiber, which could leave you with a half-empty tank and scrounging for snacks later.
3. Charge Your Batteries. Isagenix shakes are packed with 16 vitamins and minerals, which means you won’t run out of steam halfway through the day. IsaLean® Shakes have more vitamins and minerals including vitamins A, C, D, E, B6 and B12 than what you’ll find in Herbalife® ShapeWorks® Shakes.
4. Complex & Complete. Isagenix shakes are engineered with the right balance of proteins, carbohydrates and fat, which boost your metabolism and help you lose weight.
5. Break It Down. Isagenix shakes have the digestive enzymes many people lack in order to facilitate proper digestion and absorption of nutrients. Many Shakes you’ll find at your grocer or wholesale store lack these enzymes.  This process helps to break down the carbs, protein and fat for maximum results.
6. Lose the Pounds, Not the Nutrition. Isagenix shakes give you optimal nutrition, not just rapid weight loss. Unlike other companies, we use the highest quality ingredients, which produce the highest quality results.  Did your shake change your life?  Isagenix is transforming figures and lives everyday!
7. Pure as Gold.  Isagenix shakes include the highest quality of whey protein, dairy farmed in New Zealand because of its purity and fabulous taste. It’s also antibiotic and steroid-free.  This deliciously complete meal replacement contains 23 grams of the highest quality New Zealand whey and casein protein from grass-fed cows with no added hormones or antibiotics, as well as filling fiber, calcium and vitamins to support your body’s vital functions. This perfectly balanced shake also contains Ionic Alfalfa™, our proprietary blend of 70 super-charged minerals, trace minerals and alfalfa juice. Active enzymes in each serving helps maximize the absorption of key nutrients.’
