Standard process purification program reviews

I am feeling pretty determined though and am starting to feel a bit competititive within the office to have the most drastic results. Also I have shared with enough people that I am doing this that I feel pretty accountable not to slip up. One lifesaver has been that Clementines are in season.

I've been having three to four a day at the times where I normally might reach for a sweet snack. Hunger: If you're hungry on this program it's your own fault. After all, you can eat as much as you want. Thank God for baby carrots though. They have been lifesavers as they have enough bulk to make me feel full during the day at the office. I think I've eaten more in the last 8 days than I had in my entire life.

It sure takes a lot of salad to feel full! As long as you have access to a fridge during your work day I would think most people would be able to keep from being very hungry.

If you're out driving around you soon realize there are no restaurants that you can go to. Caffeine: I made it 7 days with no caffeine and wasn't having withdrawal symptoms or anything.

I just missed having my nice cup of coffee each day. Today I broke down and had some coffee black with no sugar of course. I'll stay off the soda through the end of this and maybe permanently but came to the conclusion that I'd definitely have some sort of caffeine in the future so I might as well have some now. I don't think it will hurt the diet aspect of this program.

Energy: I was worried my energy levels might totally tank for a few days. However, they have held pretty steady except for the second day of the program when I took a 3 hour nap and still went to bed pretty early. During my work days I hit a little bit of a low spot in the late afternoon and early evening.

Now that I've cheated with the caffeine I'll probably have some black coffee to get me through those periods. I have been doing some weight lifting and there is definitely a decrease in both strength and stamina when I lift.

I've gone swimming a couple times as well and notice just a little bit of decreased stamina with that but I'm not pushing it hard. Water: I stocked up with a few jugs of the spring water at the beginning but the first day I was at the gym and had forgotten to bring a bottle so broke that rule right away by drinking out of the water fountain.

I've been using a mix a tap and spring water since. I am not as purified I suppose but I am losing weight anyway. Shakes: At first I was doing the protein shakes with frozen fruit, water, banana and the powder as recommended. However I was making the mistake of thinking that adding more fruit would eventually make it taste great. The shakes taste good in a healthy way but I will just tell you that you can't add enough fruit to make it taste like Jamba Juice or Orange Julius.

Since I'm loving the Clementines and getting quite a bit of my fruit to veggie ratio through those, I keep the shakes smaller with less added fruit. Produce: Costco has some big containers of organic produce that helped me get stocked up for the first week. I think I cleared a 3 pound bag of baby carrots!

If you're not a salad lover to begin with definitely be prepared with the supplies to make the dressings! Tomatoes: On Day 6 I saw Calli eating tomatoes and started harassing her for cheating as they weren't in the allowed vegetable section along with corn. It turns out they're in the fruit section. I've enjoyed adding them to some recipes yesterday and today. Exercise: I definitely don't consider myself a gym rat. I usually try to do most of my exercise outside.

It's been terribly cold though with a couple feet of snow so outside workouts have been out of the question. However, I have really been enjoying going to the southside Aspen Athletic Club now that I'm doing this program. They have a three lane, 25 yard pool with non-chlorine purification that never seems to be busy.

Also the brochure recommends trying other types of body purification such as saunas so I've been doing that a bit there. Lastly, they have mirrors everywhere so just walking around between the weights gets me more motivated to stick with this, especially as I start to see some visible improvement. Today I definitely worked out harder than the program recommends: 3 miles on the treadmill in under 30 minutes and yard swim at a pretty good pace.

No fainting or lightheadedness, thankfully, but I did load up on baby carrots right before going and made sure to drink plenty of water. Social Situations: I have made it through a BNI breakfast club meeting at the Machine Shed, a party for the Hawks' bowl game, and a Buccaneers Hockey game without cheating despite tons of tempting foods within reach.

In those situations I made sure to stuff myself with acceptable foods before going! Advice: prepare to be harrassed a bit when people notice you're not having anything and hear why. Brown Rice: Calli found some program-acceptable brown rice in a convenient microwavable bag.

I'll put a pic below. Lentils: I don't think I'd ever tried lentils before but the pamphlet recommends them more than the rice if you're interested in cutting weight so I've gotten my fair share. They are basically like little disc shaped tasteless beans. The first couple times I tried them I thought they were OK. Soon they started to get pretty gross though. I think I just need better recipes. Salads: At first I tried to be as healthy as possible by purchasing bulk containers of dark field greens and spinach from Costco.

They were both a bit rough for me as I'm not really that much of a vegetable lover. Today I had a salad with Romaine and it had amazing flavor compared to the others. I might not eat any spinach through the rest of this. Blender: Some day I dream of having my very own Vita-mix.

I looked it up online and it got some great reviews. I was disappointed that Consumer Reports left it out of their recent testing of most popular infomercial products. I would have loved to get their take on it. Speaking of Consumer Reports, did you hear that Consumer Reports found that chiropractors are the highest rated professionals and chiropractic adjustments the highest rated treatment for back pain?

Tech Gadgets: Normally I am not that much of a gadget guy but I have appreciated my Iphone through this process. It's been great for making "To Buy" lists, taking pics of fresh looking meals, accessing the Standard Process website anywhere, keeping a note on weight loss, and listening to great music and Dave Ramsey podcasts to stay motivated.

I downloaded an app with hundreds of exercise instructions but haven't really used that. I'll put a picture of my new-at-Christmas Motorokr S9 Bluetooth wireless headphones below. Thanks for those, Mom and Dad! I was really excited about what was supposed to be a gourmet lentil dish that I came up with all by myself - stir fried tomatoes, onions, peppers, fresh cilantro, then mixed with the lentils and with a squeeze of fresh lime on the top.

Don't try this at home! I've been thinking quite a bit about what I will do when I'm done with the program. I think I might still have a bit more weight to lose and after going through this I want to use it as motivation to continue on healthier and improved. Right now I'm thinking of implementing the following until I reach my goal weight:.

I'll probably update again at the end I'm now down to pounds I passed the 10 pounds lost mark by the end of the second week so fully anticipating reaching my goal of losing at least 15 pounds by the end. I wish I would have measured my waist to see the changes there.

I'm loving this experience. I'll write a bigger summary of the last half of it at the end, but so far I'd say this is one of the most empowering things I've done. It is great to feel in control of your health future!

When we started this, I think Calli and I both envisioned ourselves going to town on the first day off the program. We have both built a lot of momentum and it just sounds easier and better to continue than to take an immediate step back. Moderate exercise is encouraged in the program in order to promote sweating out toxins. Dairy, eggs, nuts, grains, sugar, and all processed foods are not allowed.

This is just a small fraction of the allowed fruits and vegetables on the program. I like to keep it simple so that cooking is not overwhelming. As you can see, our meals are rather repetitive. I make no claims to be fancy or gourmet! Sometimes my husband will have half a cup of cooked lentils with meals. Sometimes, you just need someone to accompany you on your health journey—someone to keep you motivated and care about your progress.
