What is the Shakeology 3 Day Performance Jump Start

Let’s face it, with 1/3 of our country faced with obesity, and 2/3 classified as overweight, is there any question that any of us couldn’t benefit from an ultra healthy meal and a little cleaning out? I’m sure there aren’t many of us who eat 4 to 5 serving of veggies a day. If we did, we wouldn’t have room for the stuff that expands our waistline!

Shakeology Jump Start is a calorie restricted nutrient-dense eating plan that acts to flush out toxins and get your body running more efficiently. You can also think of it as a “jump start” in your fitness or “plateau-breaker” or shred pounds fast and effectively in a healthy way. It’s designed for performance by activating and preparing your digestive tract and digestive system to use nutrients more efficiently and improves your ability to lose weight through structured diet and exercise.

You will eat between 800-1200 calories a day. The goal of the Shakeology Jump Start is nutritional efficiency. You want to eat the most nutrients possible with the least amount of calories. These calories are to be burned as part of your moderate exercise program ridding your body of indigestible foods and toxins over a maximum of three days.

Note: If you’re doing an intense workout program like P90X or Insanity it is recommended to do the Jump Start during your recovery week or before the start of your program.

The result we are looking for is reduced bloat and weight loss, to rid the system of toxins and to get your body running more efficiently. If all goes well, you will have more energy and be a bit lighter.

How Does it Work?

For 3 days you will eat every couple of hours with a balance of protein, carbohydrates, fiber and fat. You will be restricting calories but, increasing quality nutrients. You will keep up with your workout program. You will drink Shakeology meal replacement shakes with the ability to add fruits of any kind, or seeds (for fat and fiber), or the Shakeology Fiber supplement.

This can help you become healthier from the inside out. Internal health is the foundation to external beauty.

What to Eat?

The basics are as follows:

3 SHAKEOLOGY Shakes a day (blended with water and ice)
2 Cups of Green Tea a Day (Triple Leaf Detox Tea is good choice)
1 piece of fruit a day (Apple, pear, orange, banana, mango, etc)
1 salad for dinner (lettuce, veggies, lean protein)
- 4 oz lean protein in salad (WHITE poultry or fish)
- Only Low Fat Dressings.

NO: Dairy (no almond, soy, or rice milk) or extra sugars. If it’s not on the list, don’t eat it!

The key is to follow the same regimen all three days. For maximum results, do NOT use additives

Daily Regimen:

1 cup of green tea to start the day

Breakfast:

1 scoop Shakeology (140 calories), blended with ice & 8-10 oz of water

Optional: 1/2 cup of fruit – 60 to 90 calories (only for the super conditioned -not the weight challenged)

Snack 1 (85 calories):

1 piece of fruit (apple, pear, orange, banana mango, etc.)

Lunch:

1 scoop Shakeology (140 calories), blended with ice & 8-10 oz of water

1cup of green tea or a detox tea

Snack 2: (you can have the second snack before or after dinner)

1 scoop Shakeology (140 calories), blended with ice & 8-10 oz of water

Dinner:

Salad with grilled white fish or poultry (roughly 340 calories)

Greens-3 servings of lettuce/vegetables, plus 4 oz. of grilled white meat (lean WHITE fish or poultry)

2 tablespoons of low fat, low sodium dressing-no more!

What to Drink

Water. It is vital for hydration as you eliminate the indigestible foods and toxins and to keep your electrolytes in balance. Do not drink dairy, sodas, energy drinks, alcohols, juices, coffee, any drink with artificial sweeteners etc., should be eliminated entirely during a Shakeology Jump Start. The goal is to eliminate sugar and chemicals from your system. If you have to drink something other than water, choose green or black tea. It will give you a quick pick me up.

Will You Lose Weight?

Most people will lose some weight during a Shakeology Jump Start, but that is not the goal. Those with a lot of undigested gunk in their systems will lose weight as it’s flushed out. Those of you who are properly hydrated and already eat well are less likely to lose. For those of you who need to lose weight, take heart: you are setting up your system to use nutrients more efficiently and improving your ability to lose weight through structured diet and exercise. So while you may not lose much on the Shakeology Jump Start, you’ll be more prepared to lose weight later.

Another reason why we don’t always lose weight on Shakeology Jump Start is due to a stress hormone called cortisol. Restricting calories is stressful to the body, and it reacts by releasing cortisol. Cortisol is performance-enhancing in the short term, but if you somehow keep your body stressed for long periods, it creates havoc in your system and can cause you to doggedly hang onto weight in a type of survival mode. We don’t want this to occur, which is one reason the Shakeology 3-Day Jump Start is short. It’s important not to remain in a highly calorie-deficient state for long periods of time, especially when you are trying to exercise hard.

Potential negative experiences

Headaches or light headedness
Lack of energy
No weight loss
- Measure inches instead
- Preparing your body for weight loss

How often can I do the Shakeology Jump Start?

Ideally you should do it once per quarter.

As the seasons change
Before starting a new workout program
When you feel you need help breaking through a plateau

Should/can I still do my workouts during the Shakeology Jump Start?

Depends on the individual, but light to moderate exercise should be fine. You will have less energy than normal so consider doing it during a recovery week. Try not to do it in the middle of P90X or Insanity.

Can I do a 1-day or 2-day Jump Start instead of 3-days?

Yes! Some people will see results with 1 or 2 days. Wouldn’t recommend doing more than 3 days at a time.

Should/can I take other supplements during the Shakeology Jump Start?

You should not take Results and Recovery Formula because it’s too much sugar/calories and you’re only working out lightly or moderately. Others (Omega-3, Core-Cal-Mag, etc.) not necessary, but won’t hurt either.

Get With The Program

The Workouts

The exercise portion of the Shakeology program comes from a set of DVDs containing 30- and 50-minute workouts. They are a mix of cardiovascular, strength, and flexibility movements. These workouts are excellent for beginners and show you how to modify every exercise movement so you can achieve results no matter what fitness level you are currently at. Start the 30-minute routine and step up to a 50-minute routine once conditioned. The ultimate goal is completing three 50-minute workouts a week.
