100% Isagenix

Ok, so here is the story. My business partner put out a challenge for his team to see who would take on the challenge of eating nothing but Isagenix food products for a week, two weeks or a month. I am jumping in at the one week challenge and I started today.

What is so significant about this challenge? It means eating high quality nutrient dense food all week instead of the usual chemical laden food that we find in our food supply. Even if you haven't read my posts before you will know that our food supply is bankrupt of nutrition and is polluted. You can't put anything in your mouth that isn't touched by some form of chemical.

So I decided to try to eat only nutrient dense super food for a week. I bought an inner body scan scale that lets me know not only my body weight, but body fat, water weight, visceral fat, metabolic age and more. It is the coolest scale I ever saw. Learning ones body fat is so much more important than body weight. You could be tall and thin, but be obese. What? How can that be? It is the percent of body fat that is the important number because that lets you know how healthy you are...or not. The higher the percentage the better chance you have for illness and disease. You know like heart issues, inflammation, and a whole host of other health problems.

Through my research and my health coaches advice I picked up a great book called "The Longevity Diet" by Brian M Delaney and Lisa Walford. This book is all about CR(Caloric Restriction) and the positive effects of restricting your intake of calories on your longevity. Not just restricting your caloric intake, but making the calories count. That means NO EMPTY CALORIES!

I am actually very excited about trying this experiment because I'm just tired of looking at food that I know is not good for me. Searching for quality food in this country is exhausting. Just because you go to a fancy restaurant and it costs you a lot of money doesn't mean it is good for you. If you don't have the money and go to a fast food restaurant please be aware that if you choose to eat that kind of food be prepared to pay the consequences. Trust me when I tell you that no good can come from eating this type of food.

The food that I am eating this week is made up of a nutrient dense super food that comes in the form of a shake. I also am eating meal replacement bars and some snacks which includes an oatmeal raisin cookie and a fiber bar. I start my day with a 50 calorie dark chocolate square that is filled with vitamins and minerals and green tea. I know it sounds crazy to start your day with that, but it provides mental clarity and it curbs my appetite. All in all, I will be consuming about 1,500 calories with 23 grams of fiber. Who knows, I might end up on this regimen for more than a week. At least I know what I'm putting in my body and it has tremendous health benefits as well. I'll keep you posted on my progress.
