3 Day Detox Cleanse: A Healthy One - Wally Recommends

Cleansing and Detox with healthy food and whole food supplements is the only way I would recommend kick starting your health and fitness.

Listen, just losing weight is not really the goal. Get that out of your head. The real goal is to be healthy. Sure, you can lose weight with some cleanse that's going to send you to the bathroom and make you sweat it out on the toilet. But you can do the same thing with a 3 day crack binge. That's not healthy. This article shares a great way to get your health under control and naturally drop some fat and inches in the process. Check it out and share with those you care about.

3 Day Detox Cleanse: A Healthy One

A 3 Day Detox Cleanse is the latest hype for kicking off a healthy lifestyle. The question is…are they really good and are they healthy.

Everyone wants to see results fast! Kick starting the weight loss process can help you feel better about yourself and where the process is going go. Unfortunately, many so-called cleanses are not that healthy and leave you feeling sluggish, slow, and deprived. Juice fasts and liquid cleanses tax your body. They’re hard on your organs and create a rebound effect when you return to normal eating. In general, the weight lost from these types of cleanses are really just water weight. Sure, it works to get you into a special dress for a party or your skinny jeans for a special date, but you want long-term results that will keep your body healthy and make you look and feel better than ever.

3 Day Detox Cleanse: A Healthy One

Well you no longer have to feel that way or have those issues when doing a detox cleanse. The 3 Day Refresh is a healthy cleanse that may help flatten your belly and fit into your clothes better while still giving your body the vital nutrients it needs in order to function.

Here’s how it works:

The 3 Day Refresh is simple. You start off your day with a serving of Shakeology and a fruit for breakfast. Shakeology comes in six different flavors, so not only will you be able to find one that you’ll love, there are over 101 recipes that you can create!. Mid-morning you will use the Fiber Sweep Drink. No worries, it is not one of those run to the bathroom drinks. Then for lunch you will enjoy a variety of vegetables, a healthy fat, a fruit and drink the Vanilla Fresh Protein Shake which is packed full of nutrients and protein that your body needs. In the afternoon you will have an afternoon snack of vegetables and a choice off the healthy fats list. You will then finish out the day with dinner. Dinner will include a selection from one of the many amazing meal recipes and a second Vanilla Fresh shake. This program is designed to help naturally remove waste and toxins from your body. You feel full, satisfied, and ready to take on your day with more energy and enthusiasm than ever before.

Can it be done more than once?

The 3 Day Refresh is a fantastic program that is designed to rid your body of impurities. It’s not designed as a long-term solution, and therefore should not be repeated over and over again. Though you may do the 3 Day Refresh quarterly or even on a monthly basis to kick off each month. It has been reported that people who have used it more than once find themselves losing more weight and finding more energy each time.

How to Stay Fit and Healthy: What’s Your Mission? - Wally Recoomends

This article has the most sound advice I've ever seen shared in one article. If you were to apply just one the 8 suggestions, you would certainly improve your health. By applying 4-8 of them, WOW, you would seriously change your life.

How to Stay Fit and Healthy: What’s Your Mission?

People often get overwhelmed when thinking about “How to Stay Fit and Healthy”. Staying Fit and Healthy really doesn’t have to be a big process. It is the little things that you can choose to do each day that add up to being fit and healthy. There are many elements to a healthy lifestyle and choosing to make several small health-conscious changes can make all the difference. Use these tips as a guide to help you start your journey to getting on or staying on the path of being Fit and Healthy.

How to Stay Fit and Healthy

1. Kick Your Bad Habits!

Start with just a few and work your way up. You know what bad habits are, and you know that you are choosing to do them. Put your health first! Make a list of all things in your life that you know to be unhealthy (i.e. smoking, drugs, drinking, high fat foods, high sugar foods, and more). Categorize the worse ones in a category of “Quit” and the others in the category of “Can have in moderation”. If you want to Stay Fit and Healthy you need to create your lists. Things on the moderation list are doable, as long as the majority (85-90%) of your choices are mindful and healthful. If you need help with making mindful healthy choices you may want to get a Free Coach that can help you stay on track and stay motivated with the changes you are making.

1. Sleep

Sleep tremendously affects physical, emotional, and mental health. Many of us do not get enough. You really need a minimum of 6-8 hours of sleep per night. Lack of sleep adversely affects metabolism, mood, concentration, memory, motor skills, stress hormones, the immune system and cardiovascular system and health. Sleep allows the body to heal, repair and rejuvenate itself in a way it simply cannot when a person is awake.

1. Exercise

Movement and exercise is an important part of being and staying fit and healthy. We are meant to move and be active. Cardiovascular exercise helps to strengthen the heart and lungs. Strength/Resistance training helps to strengthen the muscles. Balance and Flexibility and Stretching helps aid in body mobility, recovery, and reduces the risk of injury. Exercise also improves circulation, body awareness, and can help in combating depression, as well as other diseases. Beachbody offers many amazing exercise programs that incorporate strength, cardiovascular, and stretching. These programs are set up to progress your fitness in a safe manner, and you can do them from the comfort of your home.

1. Eat Healthfully

Making fresh fruits, vegetables, and whole grains the main part of your overall diet can really help you Stay Fit and Healthy. You may also include lean sources of protein such as poultry, fish, tempeh, and beans. Eating balanced and portioned meals is what helps you balance a Fit and Healthy life. It is also good to stop eating before you feel very full. Give yourself a chance to digest your food and take in the nutrients. You also want to each 5-6 smaller meals throughout the day. This would be your breakfast, lunch, dinner, and a mid-morning and mid-afternoon snacks. A healthy breakfast is needed to start your day off right. It sets you up and gives you the energy and fuel for optimal mental and physical performance. Eating breakfast will help you maintain blood sugar levels, healthy weight and you will be less likely to overindulge later in the day. When thinking about snacks, you want to eat whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, nuts or a total nutrition shake like Shakeology. Avoid highly processed foods that contain artificial sweeteners or colors, hidden sugars or excessive fat.

How to Stay Fit and Healthy

1. Drink Water

The majority of our bodies are made of water. Most fresh fruits and vegetables contain water that will help to keep our bodies hydrated, but fresh, clean, plain water is still the best and healthiest beverage for maintaining a healthy hydrated body. It is the most natural cleanser for our organs and digestive system. Being hydrated is crucial for proper brain function, proper physical function, as well as for helping to flush toxins out through the skin (perspiration) and urine.

1. Reduce Stress

Stress can cause a myriad of problems, from heart trouble to digestive problems. Many people do not know how to manage their stress. The best forms of managing stress is regular exercise, healthy nutrition, meditation, doing things you enjoy, appropriate boundaries, spirituality, and being in nature. All of these things can help alleviate the harmful effects of stress on the body. It is also important to take breaks (vacations, mini-vacations, days off), and surround yourself with people who support you.

1. Express Yourself

It is not healthy to keep emotions bottled up inside. This can lead to mental and emotional stress, as well as physical symptoms. Unexpressed feelings and emotions have been known to be a cause to depression, sleep problems, eating disorders, and even physical pain. Learn to talk about your feelings and emotions, or express them through some sort of art. Another good tool is writing down thoughts and feelings. This is a good way to express things you may find hard to say.

1. Consistency and Moderation

In order to maintain a Fit and Healthy lifestyle, it is important to have consistency. Consistency will lead to the big picture results you want to obtain. Again, remember to make changes one at a time. Don’t make too many changes at once or you will risk relapsing into old habits. Making these choices and having them be a part of your daily life will help you to reach your health goals.

Now you know How to Stay Healthy and Fit. Implement these few suggestions and you will be on the road to success!

The Hidden Benefits of Losing Weight and Taking Control of My Health, I Did Not Expect

July 03, 2015 in Health and Fitness, mentor, coaching

The hidden Benefits of losing weight, I did not expect             

When I started my health and fitness transformation journey I really just wanted to lose about 20 pounds. Everything else that happened to me was a complete, yet welcome, surprise. 

You may have already heard my health transformation journey but I have not shared this part, until now. 

What you may know already is, I had just had my over 40 physical and my Dr. told me had to lose about 20 pounds and he considered putting me on medication for my poor cholesterol levels. Being in the medical field for the last 24 years, I knew what those medications do to the body. And it’s not good. So I told my Dr. I would find another solution before I got on any medication.

Ironically enough I was introduced to a workout program and a special supplement that following week. After just three weeks, 28 days to be exact, I went back to the doctor to have my lipids done again. My doctor could not believe the results. My cholesterol was completely perfect and I lost about 15 pounds. He swore I was on a prescribed cholesterol medication. But I was not. He wanted to know what I did, as I’m sure you do, right?. I will share that with you in a moment. I would like to say it’s a secret but it’s certainly not a secret any more. 

Here’s the thing I did not expect from this well-known program. After the first three weeks of committing to the workout and taking the supplement every day, I no longer had the joint pain I had for many years. I had much better range of motion than I’ve had in many years. I no longer had acid (esophageal) reflux which has been so bad up that point that I kept Pepcid© in my desk drawer, right next to the Tums©. I was able to do things, without pain, I had not done in many years.

You see, I just accepted that the condition I was in, was going to be with me for years to come, and only get worse. I had no idea I could almost completely reverse the painful inflamed joints, esophageal reflux, knee pain, lower back pain, shoulder pain and much more. I especially did not expect to reverse these issues with exercise. After all, I had been physically active for many years.

What made the difference was the well planned out workout. My workout of choice, at the time, was Insanity. However, there are many very well planned out workouts you could chose from for all fitness levels and goals. And the supplement I was taking every day, and still do 3 year later, is Shakeology.

Of course I was skeptical and hesitant at first. Which is why I had my cholesterol checked 28 days after drinking the first glass. Beachbody, the company that sells Shakeology, has a 30 Day, 100% Money Back Guarantee. I completely expected to get my money back after those 28 days. Well, obviously that did not happen.

Now my entire family drinks this stuff. I became an advocate for health and fitness, clean eating, working out and specifically, Beachbody workouts and Shakeology.

I did not expect others would notice my results.

Within just a few weeks of focusing on improving my health and fitness with these great Beachbody products (Insanity and Shakeology) people started asking “Wally, what in the heck are you doing?”Others wanted to know how I took two full minutes off my 2 mile run time. They wanted to know how I lost weight, improved my cholesterol and improved my joints. I was as amazed as they were. And I felt renewed and healthy again.

Which leads me to the last thing I did not expect to experience on my health and fitness transformation journey.

I was so inspired by my own results, and since others were asking what I was doing to get so healthy, I decided to start paying it forward.

I started a business of helping others get control of their health and fitness while simultaneously showing others how to start their own business. Now I have almost 500 customers around the US and Canada. And I have a handful of Team Beachbody Coaches building their own business of helping others take control of their health and fitness. Being a Team Beachbody Coach is one of the most rewarding things I’ve done in my entire life. And I plan on helping many others do the same thing I’ve done, starting with getting control of your health and fitness.

This is a true partnership. Beachbody actually advertises for us and gives us paying customers from all of those infomercials you see on TV and other media. This is completely unheard of in this industry. Sure, other fitness companies like GNC and UFC Gyms advertise, but they don't give you paying customers. You still have to go out to get them. Now, you do still have to go out and get your own customers, but Team Beachbody's Customer Acquisition Program is a huge help in growing a profitable business. 

Partnering with Team Beachbody is very simple. You do not need any certifications and you don't need to be in perfect shape to start your own Team Beachbody Business. You just have to be on your journey. People want to join others who are on their journey. 

If becoming a Team Beachbody Coach interests you, visit this site, watch the video then get back in touch with me.

Oh - There is also a few hidden benefits of starting my own Team Beachbody Business. It's about so much more than income. One of the coolest benefits of being a Team Beachbody Coach is, it keeps me accountable to my clients and therefore keeps me accountable to my own fitness. Pretty cool right? And I make good money staying fit.
