Day 2 - Cleanse Phase


Sweet potatoes or yams are awesome, bake them for about an hour at 450 degrees and enjoy!

The true test is here - the weekend! Cheating is NOT AN OPTION, you WILL be successful on this 24 day challenge. Remember to resist temptation and have healthy foods available. If you get hungry and are tempted for junk then go for a walk or a run, just move, do anything to get your mind off of that craving.

Make sure you post your food journals for yesterday on yesterdays post, check the comment link for answered questions and recipe ideas. Aim to eat every 3-4 hours and eat enough.

I was very active all throughout high school (I played volleyball for 8 years), and after getting hurt my senior year my activity level definitely was not the same. I came into college 10 pounds lighter than I am now, and I want to get back down to that! I hope to lose weight, eat better, and not cheat for the next 24 days!

  1. Ok, I am pretty sure I responded to everyones posts from day 1, if I missed you please comment here and let me know.

    All of you did great on day 1, remember to eat enough, the cleanse foods are naturally low in calories. Eat protein at every meal, it will help your metabolism and keep you full.

  6. Zach - try eating a piece of fruit with the shake at breakfast. It should help keep you fuller. And do not hesitate to eat more raw veggies with that mid morning snack.

    ReplyDelete
  7. Eric - yes, that is correct. Think of the catalyst making sure you do not low muscle while losing weight, so when you are taking it you are feeding your muscles.

    Mid- shake
    Lunch - 3 grilled chicken tenders, red peppers & onions, salad with balsamic vinegar, strawberries & pineapple
    Dinner- salmon, baby carrots

    ReplyDelete
  22. Eric - yes, that is ok, a meal replacement shake a couple hours after dinner is fine.

    ReplyDelete
  23. Bryce - it all looks great, just add 3 egg whites to those 2 hard boiled eggs that you ate for breakfast, for a total of 5 eggs (2 yolks).

    ReplyDelete
  24. Lauren - yea, calories definitely looked a little low because you missed a solid lunch meal. Next time have a meal replacement shake or two somewhere in there so you get your protein up.

    ReplyDelete
  25. Elizabeth - rice is ok to eat during the cleanse, brown rice is reccomended.

    ReplyDelete
  26. Callie - calories still look low, try adding 2 real eggs to breakfast, your body will appreciate the fat from the yolks and it will increase your calories. Your snacks would be more complete with some nuts, not many, just about 10. Or a tbsp of natural almond butter. Your food choices are great, just eat a little more.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Kathy - you are professional cleanser :-) Good job! I am going to assume that the shake was a late breakfast which is why there was no morning snack?

    ReplyDelete
  28. Mia - either is ok, great question. Your food looks great! One thing, no lemon pepper seasoning, you can squeeze lemon juice and sprinkle pepper but no seasoning.

    ReplyDelete
  29. Melonie - 2 sparks is fine, just don't have it too late in the day because it keeps some people awake. I know tons of people who drink one in the morning and then mid afternoon.

    Your food looked great, since you like boiled eggs throw one in at each snack time, they are great for protein and healthy fat to go with your fruit/veggies.

    ReplyDelete
  30. Will - same thing I told bryce, add 3 egg whites to that breakfast to make it 5 eggs (2 yolks). Also, there are 393 calories in a 1/2 cup of Dry Roasted Cashew Nuts, this is the max amount at a sitting. Since it was your snack and you ate it with veggies it was perfect for you. I hope that ribeye was well trimmed :-) Next time, eat a filet, it is just as good and has half the fat.

    Calories in 6 oz ribeye - 570
    Calories in 6 oz filet - 306

  31. Maria - Great job! Your day is perfect except for that "berry balsamic", I am guessing that is a salad dressing?

    ReplyDelete
  32. Kandis - way to be strong at the shower!! I am proud of you, I am sure there was a lot more than cupcakes there to challenge you. Your food journal is excellent, I like the frequent eating and variety, good job!

    ReplyDelete
  33. Elizabeth - perfect day as long as your salad at Jason's Deli had some chicken?

    ReplyDelete
  34. Kelie - a meal replacement shake mid afternoon would have made your day perfect, missing that meal time slows your metabolism. If you can't get food have a shake ready. Other than that, good job!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Melonie - I forgot to ask you above, did you feel better day 2?

    ReplyDelete
  36. breakfast - meal replacement w/ blackberries

    mid morning - baby carrots and almond butter

    lunch - grilled vegetables and ground turkey

    Charlie, what about eating hazelnuts in place of almonds/walnuts?
