But you can also pick and choose based on your budget and you don't need to get it perfect. If money was tight I'd look at specials and buy what you can find on sale and do the best you can. It will still yield good results.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-270100340095322392012-03-14T18:48:29.319-06:002012-03-14T18:48:29.319-06:00When you said that any protein shake could substit...When you said that any protein shake could substitute the shakeology shakes but you would need to add a greens formula... what kind of greens formula are you talking about?

It kind of depends on how hard you're planning to train out of the gate. In general, if you're putting your body through a lot of pain I'd prefer to see more cals. But if you're easing into the program than no problem.Steve Edwardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17639176315514772554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-47657905559863210752011-07-17T19:12:51.730-06:002011-07-17T19:12:51.730-06:00Hey Steve, Love the post!

I know this is an old post, but I am half way through the cleanse and sticking too it and I am wondering if it is normal to have joint discomfort or what I can do to change that during the cleanse. my shoulders elbows and knees are just uncomfortable most of the day. I can even feel it a bit in my wrists as i type. this is not a normal occurrence especially for the length of time it has been there. any info helps. thanks you.Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08027450812472160100noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-43690440505173199232010-05-19T10:03:16.349-06:002010-05-19T10:03:16.349-06:00I would not recommend milk, or any dairy, during a...I would not recommend milk, or any dairy, during a cleanse.

I have a question for Steve though. I calculated what I ate, and it came out to 865 calories. That's with 3 Shakeologys, 3 pieces of fruit, and a big salad of lettuce, red pepper, 4 oz chicken, and sugar snap peas and a little low fat salad dressing. I'm not sure how you got to 1500!Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16251936717718207067noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21280038.post-57876600686915946782010-03-12T16:26:42.274-07:002010-03-12T16:26:42.274-07:00I would not do it mid Insanity unless it's dur...I would not do it mid Insanity unless it's during a recovery week.

I cant seem to take inn less than 2400 calories. My body is so used to it that I feel low on glycogen levels if I go less. The cleanse diet does sound good but not nearly as enough for me. At 147 lb (pretty light)I eat quite a lot. Is there some other way I can do this type of diet during my recovery week with more calories?<br />Also I got a few people on the boards started on birthday challenges. Mine primarily is just numerous reps of bodyweight exercises and a V6 bouldering route.<br />Thanks for the article, I Lisa's birthday challenge, Looks Insane!!TheThinkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04340632719888180917noreply@blogger.com
