Cleansing and the Holidays

A lot of you may be wondering if doing your Isagenix cleanse during the holidays would be a waste of time and money.

The answer is definitely No. In fact--just the opposite. How many times has January arrived in your life and your “go to” best work pants are too tight? The buttons on your favorite blouse are gaping? And the very worst of all: those new shoes you got for a steal at the pre-christmas sale at Nordstroms are pinching your feet and you haven’t even left the house yet? Or you get on the scale on January 2 and almost faint. You had a great time at the parties, tasting and nibbling those special homemade goodies made by someone’s Aunt Edna—and even allowed the hostess to send a baggie of them home with you.

It doesn’t have to be that way every January! It’s still 2 ½ weeks until January and you don’t have to start 2008 feeling disgusted with yourself. Think about how would it feel to start the New Year feeling good, feeling great about yourself for a change?!!

The holidays are a great time to cleanse and you will still have fun and feel fantastic on top of everything else!

Everyone else will gain while you lose weight—and since your body will crave healthy foods & snacks if you EAT healthy foods and snacks, it will be effortless on your part because you will have overcome your cravings for unhealthy foods during your cleanse. This is one of the greatest benefits and “side effects” of the Isagenix products. And it happens because the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat-Burning System products are filled with 100% of the body’s nutritional requirements, making cravings become a thing of the past. You need only arrange your schedule so that your “Cleanse Days” do not fall on Christmas Day or New Year’s Eve, and your “Shake Days” do.

For example, start your 9-day cleanse on Wednesday, December 19—making your Cleanse Days Dec. 19 & 20, and Dec. 26 & 27. On your Shake Days (Dec. 21 through 25 and from December 28 on), you’ll be drinking your delicious Isagenix shakes in place of two meals: either breakfast & lunch, or breakfast & dinner. This adjustable Shake Days schedule allows you to eat sensibly in the evening if you’re at a party or if your traditional Christmas dinner is mid-day or mid-afternoon.

Keep in mind that the Isagenix Cleanse for Life Drink is not just as cleanse nor is it a fast–the 4 oz of Cleanse for Life juice with 8 oz of water is wholesome, liquid food! You are not starving yourself, and because you aren’t, you won’t be as tempted by all the goodies around you at parties and holiday get-togethers as you might expect. More likely you’ll find yourself gravitating toward the vegetable platter and feeling happy about it! You’re going to feel great, have more energy, and experience the most restful, peaceful sleep you’ve had in years.

The key words here are “eat sensibly.” You can do it! Have a couple of Aunt Edna’s homemade Hungarian cookies—it’s Christmas and it’s okay! You are going to find that your body will still respond to the cleansing juice, snacks and shakes, and you will be amazed at how the Isagenix Fat-Burning System will help you shed pounds during the cleanse and after. You can eat sensibly during the holidays and still enjoy yourself.

HINT-HINT: You can complete a 9-day cleanse by Christmas if you begin it on December 12, 13, 14 or 15. Enjoy a Christmas in your favorite party clothes and start your New Year feeling on top of the world!

Think about how great you’re going to look and feel!!!
