pqtd #50 A New Year, A New You! I am really excited by two things today- I really want you to follow me, along with your family, into the exciting world of real health! I think the journey will be fun as well as rewarding for you, and the benefits are incalculable. The first thing is this: thrivemarket.com This is something I just learned about via Chris Kresser, who is kind a Paleo healer guru, who also has his own podcast that I also recommend called Revolution Health Radio. Put that in your podcast queue along with Paleo Quick Tip of the Day and PaleoJay’s Smoothie Cafe! Anyway, thrive market is a new online company that seems to have a lot of things figured out. To start eating real, nutrient dense foods is oftentimes daunting, since the cost seems so high compared to grain and sugar processed crap. Also, you need to do a lot of research to figure out which products are not only the highest quality, but are also the best bargain in terms of price... enter www.thrivemarket.com ! Not only are their prices amazing (products are priced 25- 50% below what you would find them at stores or on Amazon)- but they have also researched the products in each category and chosen the ones that they deem the best both in terms of quality and price! Now that makes things really simple. Thrive is kind of like a mail order Costco- there is free shipping on any orders over $50- and so, wherever you live, you can get the best natural cleaning products, body care items, and supplements all shipped to your door. You can get a free 30 day trial membership to try it out- I did! So now, even if you live in a food desert, you can get great paleo ancestral foods and other items delivered right to you, at a discount! And so, there is no excuse not to get healthy in this New Year! The other thing I am excited by is this: Chris Kresser and Robb Wolfe have put together a Paleologix Total Transformation package! Click on the link just to the right to learn more- The reason I am so excited about this is that for most normal, healthy young people- well, they can do just fine on standard paleo exercise and nutrition advice. You know, just follow along right here, and you’ll learn to cut your grains and sugar, drastically up your intake of green veggies and natural, God made foods, good fats, and a few supplements like Vitamin D and iodine... But some of us, particularly those of us who have been following the Standard American Diet of diabesity for too long, and have either been overexercising with heavy weights or chronic cardio, or else doing nothing at all for exercise- well, let’s just say a lot of us are severely “broken”- we have contracted many ailments of the modern diet and lifestyle, and we need help! And that is where this program fits in- these two guys, Chris Kresser and Robb Wolfe are specialists in getting a system down for folks who are broken, who need the special help of a step-by-step approach individualized to YOU- not just a bare bones cookie cutter approach that may not be suited to YOU. And so, those are my gifts to you- two rock solid tools that will ensure that you achieve your paleo goals in 2015! You just have time to get started with both before the New Year begins! Get yourself a Merry Christmas present, and then you WILL have a Happy New Year!! Check out this episode!

Last week, my sister and I decided to do the Dr. Oz 3 Day Cleanse. I normally eat pretty well, and work out 3-5 times a week, but have been at the same weight for a year now, and was hoping to jump start the loss of a few pounds. The cleanse is only 3 days - and I figured there isn't anything I couldn't do for at least three days! The cleanse is very easy to follow. The breakfast, lunch, and dinner shakes are the same for all three days. Click here for a printable sheet of the image above. Shopping: - The Dr. Oz website states the the cleanse will cost $16 a day. After purchasing our groceries and supplies, we found the cost closer to $25 a day. Prep: - We decide to do the cleanse on a Monday, Tuesday, and Wednesday. That meant that I would need to take the Breakfast and lunch shakes with me to work. The breakfast shake is quick to make, but the lunch one is more involved. Each night I cut up the celery, cucumbers, and lime needed for the lunch shake to save a little time each morning. Day 1: - I enjoyed waking up in the morning and drinking the green tea. It was nice to be able to have something warm in the morning in place of my coffee. I am a regular coffee drinker and thought I would have a really hard time without it. I definitely missed it, but it wasn't as bad as I thought and I never experienced any caffeine headaches. - I loved the breakfast shake. It turned out to be my favorite each of the three days. - I had an additional green tea at work between breakfast and lunch. - The lunch shake gets pretty awful reviews online so I wasn't sure what to expect. At first, It tasted better than I expected, but toward the end I could barely get it down. - After lunch, I was really, really full, almost to the point of being uncomfortable. My stomach was really bloated and crampy. Was not expecting that on a cleanse! - 3:30 in the afternoon and I was exhausted! I do not ever remember being this tired at work. I can not tell you haw badly I wanted to lay down my head on my desk and take a nap! - After work I went to the gym and got in 30 minutes on the elliptical. I felt fine to work out. - Enjoyed the dinner shake. Still incredibly stuffed and bloated. I was never hungry and never had the additional snack shake and any of the three days. I don't think I would have been able to get it down! Day 2: - Woke up feeling really bloated and stuffed (still!) - Again, enjoyed the breakfast shake. - For the lunch shake, I used spinach instead of hte kale and blended it more to try and get rid of the strange texture. It helped, the lunch shake tasted much better to me. It is still my least favorite, though. - 2:00 PM: still having major stomach issues and decided to take 3 tums. It helped. - Again, exhausted in the afternoon. This normally doesn't happen to me at work. - Went to my 30 minute spin class after work and had no problem working out. In fact, it felt really good. Day 3: Woke up feeling great! Was happy that it was the last day and knew that I was going to make it. Also, my stomach finally feels back to normal. - I felt great all day on the third day. Even the lunch shake seemed a little better, but I only drank a little more than half. - Decided not to work out on the third day. - The dinner shake tasted so good. I actually contemplated doing the cleanse for another day! - I skipped the bath on the last night. Results: - Woke up on the fourth day and weighed myself - I lost almost 5 lbs. It's been a week and I haven't put any of the weight weight back on. - My sister lost 7 pounds! - I'm glad we tried this. I think I would consider it doing it again or trying a different cleanse. - What I missed the most? Chewing! I never thought it would be so hard not to chew on anything for three whole days. { To read my sisters review and thoughts on the cleanse click here }
