Best Cleanses to Try Before Summer Ends

Me with the Nekter 3 Day Cleanse!

Summer may be coming to a close, but that doesn’t mean it’s too late to get into shape or at least clean your bod of all the day drinking you’ve actively pursued this summer.

Hence, it’s cleanse time.

Let’s talk about two cleanses that will be a kick-start to losing those extra lbs or just getting your body back to a healthy state.

Nekter’s 3 Day Classic Cleanse

This is my fave! The Nekter 3 Day Classic Clense is quoted online as…

“The perfect cleanse to reset your system, assist in breaking you of those sugar cravings and jump starting a new healthier regime with the side benefit of dropping a few pounds.”

But don’t worry, this is NOT a fast! It’s a way to give your body the nutrients it needs. There are six 16.9 oz drinks that consist of different blends of fruits and vegetables. Plus they are delicious! Well, there’s one that kinda sucks, but you’ll get over that because the other ones are so bomb diggity.

Now, let’s talk Chef V…

Chef V consists of three products, Chef V’s 7 Greens, Ultra Shake and the Detox soup. And they’re all pretty bomb. Plus there’s always the fact you have to drink a sh!t ton of water on this cleanse so you shouldn’t be hungry.

The 7 Greens is the ultimate energy booster (4x 16.0z per day). So now you can look super trendy with your green drink in hand.

The Ultra Shake is the nutritional rejuvenator that helps you stay satisfied throughout the day (2x 16oz per day). Kinda like your average protein shake. Lastly, the Detox Soup is the organic cleanser that detoxifies the body (1x 16oz per day). Soup will get old towards the end, but half the time you don’t even feel like you’re hungry enough to eat it!

So try one of these cleanses and see which one works best for you! Match it with a good workout regimen and it’d be hard not to see some results! Good luck & tweet us @coachsdaughters and let us know what you think!

PBOE- Peanut Butter Over Everything

 

It’s Peanut Butter Jelly time! Song throwback anyone? Actually, scratch the jelly. Who likes jelly anyways? Perhaps I am biased. My apologies to all you jelly lovers. If you are one of the 1.3 percent of Americans that suffer from a peanut allergy, my deepest apologies go to you.

Peanut Butter. How do I even begin? I may have a slight obsession with peanut butter. My friends tell me to stop saying the word “slight” in front of the word “obsession”. Go ahead, call me a peanut butter-a-holic. I wont deny it, and I am not offended.

AND, there’s several benefits to eating peanut butter. Hence, no reason for me to ever feel bad about my obsession. Except for the times that I eat half of a tub in one day and then realize what I have done. Minor details. (But, ugh, so sad when I only have half left.)

Peanut Butter serves as a valuable source of protein. Protein means: building and repairing muscles, staying fuller longer, and a boost in energy. Those characteristics sound like it can help someone lose weight? Indeed, it can (when eaten in the recommended serving size). Before you all start hassling me on my serving sizes, CAN I GET AN AMEN?

There are 7 grams of protein in the recommended serving size of 2 tablespoons. YA YA YA, we all know I don’t follow that. It’s not my fault I have a problem.

There are also high levels of the heart-friendly potassium found in Peanut butter, which functions as an opposite to the negative effects of sodium. Sodium directly stresses our cardiovascular system, and has been linked to hypertension, high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease. Sodium also happens to make me puff up like a puffer fish in a defcon 5 situation. THANK GOD, I am just so over that.

 

Peanut Butter contains healthy fats that have been linked to lower one’s risk of heart disease. Along with the healthy fats found in peanut butter, the amount fiber found in peanut butter can lower dissatisfactory cholesterol levels, aid in regulating the digestive system, and even combat obesity, heart disease, and type 2 diabetes.

So, if peanut butter isn’t your true love, it can keep you alive to find your true love? BONUS.

All in all, you should take my advice. Go on and keep lickin’ those spoons my friends.

And serving sizes are for p*$$ies. Remember that. #PBOE
