OK.  Bear with me, as I may be going off the reservation for some of you.

Let me start from the beginning…

Janell and I decided to have a little contest this first quarter to see who could lose the most weight (quality weight that is – not water weight, and certainly not muscle!) before our vacation at the end of March.  Now, the reality is we’re both in pretty good shape.  We’re certainly not fitness models or Greek statues, but we take pretty good care of ourselves.  Point being, this contest is going to be interesting.

One of the other things I really wanted to do was step up the care of the inside of my body.  I eat really well, but have been wanting to try a dietary cleanse and begin taking some health supplements like additional probiotics, greens and others.

I did some homework, and here’s what I came up with and what the results have been so far.

As you know, I primarly use and recommend Prograde Nutrition supplements.  However, Prograde’s line is limited.  They don’t offer the additional products I was looking for.  So, I talked with a friend of mine who is a bigtime distributor of Eniva Nutraceutics.  While Prograde focuses more on the core products (multi-vitamin, EFA, shakes & bars), Eniva has more targeted products such heart health, eye care, joint health, etc.  The main things I was looking for were digestive health and an internal cleansing.  After talking it over with Bob and doing my homework on the company, I added two Eniva products to my nutrition program:

1. Bio-Chlor: bio-available chlorophyll phytonutrient blend.  Basically, a liquid green vegetable concentrate.
2. LifeCleanse: intestinal cleansing and fiber formula

I asked Bob if he’d put together some info on the two products for this blog.  Here’s what he gave me:

Bio-Chlor: Nature’s First Gift for Wellness!

Since the beginning of time, chlorophyll has been a symbol of life.  Before man discovered fire and learned to hunt animals, he ate green plants.  The “green” was chlorophyll, a substance responsible for absorbing and harnessing the energy of the sun involved in photosynthesis.

Chlorophyll in plants performs metabolic functions such as respiration and growth.  Interestingly, the chlorophyll molecule is chemically similar to human blood, except its central atom is magnesium.  In humans, the central atom is iron.

Liquid chlorophyll is highly valued for its ability to improve blood oxygenation and help cleanse the body, especially the liver and blood.*

As nature’s first gift, chlorophyll continues to nourish and promote wellness.*

The health benefits of Eniva’s Bio-Chlor include:

• Internal conditioner
• Digestive Tract Detoxifier
• Supports healthy oxygenation
• Supports healthy cellular membranes
• Supports Intestinal Health
• Supports Circulatory Health
• Body deodorizer

LifeCleanse

Most people do not get sufficient dietary fiber in their everyday diet of refined and fiber-poor foods.  Eniva LifeCleanse is an excellent source of biber composed of both insoluble and soluble fibers.  One serving supplies 6 grams of dietary fiber, almost 1/4 of the recommended daily amount.  In addition, each serving contains 5 grams of fructooligosaccharide from chicory root food for intestinal flora.  Good intestinal flora helps prevent bloating, gas, and yeast overgrowth by controlling the pH level, or acidity, of the intestines.  Also included in each serving of LifeCleanse is 600 mg of standardized milk thistle extract (80% silymarin) and a proprietary herbal blend to promote healing as well as making the product taste good.

Side note: If you’ve ever tried a good fiber product before, you know most of them taste like what you’re trying to get out ;-b.  I am extremely pleased with the taste of LifeCleanse.  In fact, it’s kind of like my after-dinner desert drink.

THE RESULTS

OK.  Now to the really cool part.  After taking Bio-Chlor and LifeCleanse for two weeks not only did I do a great thing for the long-term health of my body, I LOST 5 LBS!!  5 LBS IN 2 WEEKS!!!!!

Let me reiterate, I’m not exactly overweight.  And, five pounds in two weeks is crazy.  The best part is – it’s been another 2-weeks and I haven’t gained any weight back.  That means it wasn’t just water weight, there was stuff that needed to get out if you know what I mean.  Plus, I can visibly see more definition. My pants that were too big are even looser and I feel fantastic!

How could this be possible?

It’s simple really.  To lose weight you have to eat right and exercise.  You ALSO need to have healthy body inside that digests food, absorbs all the nutrients and eliminates the rest. I can literally feel my increased metabolism!

I can’t wait to see what’s in store for my body next!
