Last week I talked about intermittent fasting and cleansing.

Why do I choose to cleanse? Honestly, I’m Italian and a foodie and the thought of not eating for a day or two, freaked me out. After some research, I saw the benefits and wanted to try it. Trust me, I was skeptical.

The night before my first cleanse I ate everything I loved, like I would never have it again. I didn’t understand that there are things you can have on cleanse days that make satiate you, make you feel full, and actually bring your body into fat burning mode. After 12 hours your body is actually burning fat at 1300% more. Imagine that!

I like to use products that are designed to support your body during this process. If you’d like more info on these products, just reach out to me at SixtiesAndSexy@gmail.com.

Here are some of their benefits. The products I use are made from an enriching berry blend and superfoods like aloe vera, peppermint, ashwagandha, turmeric, licorice root, and more. They offer support on Cleanse Days to help eliminate stubborn fat and boost metabolism. They have been proven to delivers rich nutrients to your body’s systems while they detoxify. They also add antioxidants to protect and help combat oxidative stress. So what I found out is this age old and I mean centuries old practice has its benefits. I like to call it “liquid spanx.”

A two-day cleanse has so many benefits. In addition to a five- to nine-pound weight loss it also gets rid of visceral fat, which is the fat around your organs. Next week lets talk about the down side to middle fat and how it leads to different kinds of cancers.
