Isagenix Snacks

I really love the Isagenix snacks too - they taste like ovaltines and really do keep your appetite satisfied, especially during the cleanse days.

I now have a container of these on my desk at work and find they are a great help in getting me through the day. My health and fitness is a top priority to me and I love the fact that I can snack on something that I know has a high nutritional value - its quick, easy and relatively low cost.

I work in a very busy, fast paced environment so Isagenix Snacks are perfect!

Side Effects - 'Niacin Flush'

Some people experience a "niacin flush" (a blushing effect with itchiness) when starting on the Isagenix program. This can be quite alarming if they do not know what it is. It's a good sign actually.

 So make sure you read the below! It would be awful for people if they quit the program out of ignorance.

Here are some articles below my friend Robert found from a google search on "niacin flush". I have not experienced the 'Niacin Flush', but a few of my clients have so please read on...

 "To sum it all up, the niacin flush is actually a very healthy reaction from your body! You shouldn't be alarmed when you get it; actually the very opposite! It means your body is healing itself."

In brief: ~ niacin (vitamin B3) dilates the blood vessels ~ blood flow to your outer body is increased ~ this enables better delivery of nutrition and removal of toxins. It can also be associated with itching which soon passes in an hour or so. Good news is your body quickly adapts to the level of niacin and you won't have the flush effect for long if you continue use at a similar level. If you get the flush it can indicate you've been somewhat deficient in niacin; acute deficiency leads to Pellagra which ultimately leads to dementia and death. So whilst a flush may be temporarily unpleasant (and I know!) you can be grateful that the products really do work to help improve your health.

If you do not have the flush it can mean your body is likely already used to similar levels of niacin. If you can't handle the brief symptoms then try some aspirin.

 "An aspirin regimen of 325 mg is effective in suppressing niacin-induced cutaneous reactions. Increasing the dose to 650 mg does not provide additional benefit."

Two short articles follow that are very worth reading... from http://www.oralchelation.com/faq/answers24.htm "...

Most of the toxins in the body are stored in fat cells. These fat cells can hold on to toxins for years, never letting it go until some "event" (like sweating or exercise). Then, the fat cells give up their toxins and they start leaking out into the surrounding tissues. You can have a slow-leak batch of fat cells that are poisoning you constantly. Much of the disease that plagues mankind certainly comes from the constant slow leak of toxins from these fat cells. These fat cells, like the millions of others, are all within a fraction of an inch of some capillary, but IF that capillary is clogged (as most often they are), and if the blood cells move through them only one cell at a time (single file), then you can see that there is not much chance for those toxins to be cleaned up by the flow of blood. If you could find something that would increase the size of these capillaries, and not cause any harmful or adverse reaction, you can see how beneficial this would be. In fact, niacin [vitamin B3) does this -- it causes these miles of tiny capillaries to increase in size. It is the INCREASE in size, partly, which causes your skin to get red. While there are miles of these capillaries all through your body, it is near the surface of your body where the arteries are NOT! So, as all the large surface of your body, your skin, is nourished by these small capillaries, and as the capillaries get larger, you can naturally see how the skin would show that increase in blood by getting red! But, there is something else going on... There is another substance to learn a bit about -- it is a hormone called "histamine." You know of this substance when you buy "anti-histamine" medicines. Without getting into a long story on that, the "anti-histamine" substances are meant to reduce the action of histamine -- this is usually NOT good! What does histamine do in the body? Well, first it can be produced by EVERY cell in the body. And, it is nature's warning signal. Whenever a cell is in danger (as, for instance, from a mosquito bite!), the cells that are in danger emit histamine. That wonderful hormone has the ability to send a message to those places in the body which change the blood flow -- to send more blood (water) to that area to provide the nutrients needed to heal the problem, and to carry away the toxins. So, when a mosquito bites you, the area around the bite itches and swells. That is the action of histamine coming to the rescue -- bringing extra blood to supply nutrients to the cells that have been poisoned by the mosquito bite, and to carry away the poison. When a cell is completely overwhelmed (as when it is loaded with toxins) it is in such apathy that it can't even release histamine -- in other words, it is so sick that it can't even call for help. Now, take a look at those cells near the capillaries. They are often loaded with toxins and there is never enough blood flowing near them to take the toxins away. Now, put some niacin in your body! The capillaries increase in size. How much? I don't know exactly, but often at least double in size. Now, you have two blood cells going through the capillary, side-by-side. The chances that this increased blood flow can take away some of those toxins is at least double what it had been. As those poor cells start coming back to life -- getting rid of toxins, they rise UP to the level where they can send out calls for help. They send out small quantities of the hormone, histamine. Histamine causes an itchy feeling anywhere it goes. It also causes the body to send more water (blood) to that area, but what YOU experience is the red skin and the itchy reaction from histamine... So, you should seek the niacin flush. It does a great deal of good for your body -- increasing blood flow, taking nutrients to areas that are starved, and taking AWAY some of those toxins that cause illness, tiredness and disease... Niacin is a vitamin that has a "getting used to" level. In other words, the first time you take niacin you may have the flush. If you keep taking the same amount each day, you will have the flush, maybe, on the second or third day, but by the fourth day you won't have any flush.... Yes, the itch and redness can be very dramatic sometimes. And, hardly anything will reduce that experience except time. You should not jump around a lot with a large dose one day and then no niacin for a few days. If you do that, your body will lose its "tolerance" to the niacin and you'll have a big reaction on the day when you take a large quantity... ~ ~ ~ ~ from http://www.mens-total-fitness.com/niacin-flush.html Niacin Flush - What is it? Many people have experienced the annoying, sometimes downright painful sensation of niacin flush at least once during their life, and probably didn't even know what it was. Niacin, by nature, is a great way of reducing your cholesterol. Many over-the-counter cholesterol medications include high does of niacin, among other ingredients. However, one of the unfortunate side effects of taking doses of niacin is the effect explained below, called "niacin flush". Niacin causes your capillaries (small blood vessels) in your body to get wider (bigger). The capillaries are usually extremely small and blood passes through them very slowly. The inherent problem with this is that capillaries are the main way for your body to rid itself of toxins. Your arteries, in comparison, are much larger than capillaries and can carry more blood and at a faster rate, but they do not come near the majority of your body. Arteries are the "highways" of your body and capillaries are more like the small town road that you exit off of the highway from in order to get to your house. Your house, in this example, would be a cell somewhere in a remote part of your body that is full of toxins. Without sufficient blood flow (oxygen, and everything that comes along with it), this cell cannot rid itself of its' toxins. Now, imagine your city widening the road that leads by your house -- the traffic would increase right and they would probably increase the speed limit from 25 to say 45 or 50 right? Well, the same is true for your capillaries! They will carry more blood, and at a faster rate. The end result is that your cells now have more blood to rid themselves of toxins throughout your body as the capillaries get wider! How does this relate to niacin flush, you ask? Simple. Niacin causes the capillaries to get bigger, and the end result is the "flush". The increase in size of your capillaries causes, in some cases, a redness on your skin in the areas that it is occurring. This is the first part of niacin flush. The second reaction of niacin flush is the annoying, and sometimes painful itch that comes along with it. This itch is actually healthy! The reason you are experiencing this itch is because the niacin has allowed more blood to reach your cells to remove toxins from them. As toxins are carried away and your cell becomes healthier, it is finally able to "call" your body for help! Your body responds by sending what is called a histamine to the cell. Histamines cause you to itch, but they also allow your body to send more water, blood, and nutrients to the area that called them. To sum it all up, the niacin flush is actually a very healthy reaction from your body! You shouldn't be alarmed when you get it; actually the very opposite! It means your body is healing itself.

Clense Day

Wow - I was amazed by how easy the clense day was.

To start I was quite concerned about the cleanse days as you basically don't eat anything at all, apart from the Clense for Life drink and Isagenix Snacks.

In the beginning, I felt quite light headed and realized that I had not been drinking enough water. Its really important to keep your fluid intake up, because even though I was never hungry during the day I did feel a little drain which I put down to dehydration. I guess you do get a lot of fluid from wholefoods that you would usually be ingesting.

By the very end of the day at about 9pm I did start to get hungry. Advisors from Isagenix say that if you are experiencing hunger on the night after a day of clensing it is best to take your Ionix Supreme shot and head to bed. Drinking more water always helps.

I was overall very suprised at how painless and easy the cleansing process was. I woke up the next day and felt lighter, although still a little sluggish. Now, after only ten days on the products I am feeling amazing - I honestly cannot believe what a difference they are making to my overall energy levels. Also, I can actually feel my body asking for the products which means that my enzyme systems have been fully activated and are loving whatever the Isagenix is doing - more on that later...

Day One : Precleanse

woke up at 9am

quite sluggish

I got up and my flatmates and I were laughing about how little I weigh - only 42.5kg. I'm on the program to build lean muscle mass and clense my body. My flatmates are builders and property developers - they were laughing as I weigh the same as the bags of concrete they throw over their backs everyday when they are on site. One of them told me that if I wanted to put on weight I should 'do this, do that' - 'well, I've tried that - but I think I'm onto something incredible...' but they weren't listening.

As I walked out the door to go buy some purified water, one of them yelled out - 'Grab me a protein shake for breakfast?'. I said, 'Why don't you try an IsaLean Shake?' He didn't want to. His choice, I thought as I looked at the nutritional panel of the brand he asked me to buy. I actually caught him examining the label as well after he'd ingested it. Interesting...

As the boys went for a surf, I stayed back this time. I filled out my commitment sheet and recorded all my measurements:

****

I then mixed up my first IsaLean Shake - one of the first ever in Australia! I was surprised at how good it tasted and how well it mixed with the water. I consumed hundreds of protein shakes as I have trained for years and they usually taste terrible and do not blend well with water. In fact, in my experience protein shakes usually don't mix with water well at all. It was also very filling. I did not get hungry until the late afternoon.

That night, after taking my shot of Ionix Supreme I slept like a log.

exercise : one hour surf, housework - 2 hours, we did a big clean up which involved a lot of lifting. I never went hungry.

cheat: my wholefood meal wasn't the best choice - I grabbed an organic vegetable and lentil pie.
