I recently got to participate in Arbonne’s 10 day Summer Shred programme at home supported by the Healthy Habits Nutrition Kit from Arbonne. Basically, it’s a kick start to create long term sustainable healthy habits.
A private Whatsapp group was set up for all participants so we could share wins and ideas.
Each product in the kit is designed to nourish your body, help it digest food and support your body’s detoxification organs. We were also given a nutritious cook book to encourage healthy home-cooked, balanced meals.
In addition to this, we were advised to avoid alcohol, caffeine, gluten, dairy & artificial sweeteners for the 10 days. We were encouraged to walk a minimum of 10,000 steps a day and also some exercise every few days.
Healthy Habits Nutrition Kit consisted of Pea Protein Powder, Superfood Greens, Energy Fizz (natural caffeine), Gut Health and Skin Elixir.
My day looked like this:
As soon as I woke up, I would drink the Superfood Greens with water, followed by the Gut Health & Skin Elixir mixed with water. Post exercise, I would blend a smoothie using the Protein Powder as a base and then some fruit & plant milk. Lunch would usually feature eggs/avo/salad and protein. I would drink an Energy Fizz in the afternoon. Limited snacking in the daytime and then a balanced meal in the evening with some fruit to end the day plus 2-3 litres of water.
Each day, the Shred Leader would record a video on aspects of the shred like the importance of movement, share graphics with helpful guidance, drinking 2-3 litres of water, eating clean, gut health etc and this would be shared on the Whatsapp group.
Results
From day 4-5, I started to feel much more energised. What I noticed in particular, was that I could get out of bed more easily, I was less sluggish. I also had a heap more energy during exercise. On day 9, I did my usual spin class and it felt like a had drunk rocket fuel! I also lost 2kg in weight.
New Habits
Of course, this is just a quick blast – it was great before my holiday but not something you could fully sustain in every day life. Interestingly, the thing I missed the most was caffeine and yet I haven’t really drunk it since. I did try a coffee and it gave me a racing heart so I took this as an opportunity to cut it out. I also try to drink just water or Superfood Greens first thing before anything.
I highly recommend the Arbonne products, the advice and support given from the Shred Coach and also just taking some of the new habits that work for you, into every day life.
If you’d like more energy, improved gut health, sustainable healthy habits, clearer skin, reduced brain fog, reduced bloating, reduced sugar cravings… then this is worth a look at. Reach out to Hannah Wing for an informal chat to see if she can help you with your goals.
