Blueprint Cleanse Review

Blueprint Cleanse Review

Rid your body of all those bad toxins and impurities by cleansing your body. I’ve never had a body cleanse and it’s about time I had one. My friend has done a couple of cleanses before and her last one was with Blueprint Cleanse. What’s great about this New York based cleanse is that it’s designed for the average person. Blueprint Cleanse is made to finally give your insides a break and restore it back to a normal digestive system.

There are several benefits with Blueprint Cleanse and that includes:

  • Boosted immune system
  • Alleviates allergies
  • Normalized Weight and Blood Pressure
  • Increases Energy
  • Promotes Clear Skin
  • Reverses Signs of Aging
  • Rest the Digestive Organs
  • and many more!!

BluePrint Cleanse is made from fruits and vegetables. It stands out from other cleanses by gathering all the juices and putting it through a hydraulic press. This allows the nutrients to go straight into the bloodstream and feed your cells in as little as 10 minutes! My friend swears by this cleanse and it helped her lose weight too!

There are different level of cleanses to choose from ranging from one to six days of cleansing. You’ll find cleanses for beginners and master cleanses. Again, there’s no severe side effects with this cleanse.

The Renovation Cleanse

“I know what whole foods are, and I’ve seen people buying them. I would too, but I’m too busy to be choosy – my vegetable intake comes in the form of: Ketchup – “tomatoes” and French Fries – “potatoes.” Salad is found in EVERY cheeseburger I eat: it’s that green-ish color in the middle of the burger. Fruit? Easy, it’s the garnish on my cocktail, (usually an orange). I have cut back on red meat… and know I should only buy organic, free range, hand massaged meats and vegetables raised by people who smell like patchouli oil, but where do they even sell that stuff?”

An ideal cleanse for beginners. You often indulge on certain snacks and foods so renovation type is perfect for people who wants to drop a few pounds.

The Foundation Cleanse

“I don’t know what I am! I’m not a vegetarian because I eat fish (but not the kind with mercury). I’m definitely NOT, nor will I ever be, a vegan – (I love a good cheese plate…and sometimes a salami plate). I try to eat a big salad everyday and limit those “bad-starches.” When I do have dessert, I order some sort of fruit based dessert, as opposed to that awesome flourless chocolate cake…that, sometimes I do order…but only because it’s flourless, …and a special occasion. But, that’s not even a big deal, cause’ I’ll just work it off at the Gym the next day.”

This cleanse are for people who maintain an active lifestyle that has tried a variety of diets and has been left disappointed on finding whole, fresh foods or just doesn’t have the time. The Foundation cleanse will trigger your body to cleanse and gently detox while removing excess baggage.

The Excavation Cleanse

“I am extremely conscious of everything I put into my body. I exercise, I don’t make drinking a habit, and I eat organic. Am I a vegan? A raw foodist? I’m not into labels – so, when people ask me that question, I simply reply: ‘I eat what I want, when I want it.” I don’t consider choosing my food wisely, “missing out.” My only rule is: If it doesn’t make me feel healthy and zaps my energy, I don’t eat it. I’m not trying to live forever; I just want to make sure that while I am alive, I feel as good as I possibly can!”

This is the most intensive cleanse that digs down to the cellular level. It provides your body with chlorophyll, restores your alkaline balance while resting your insides.

So, what’s the cost?

It is quite expensive starting at $65/bottle (Ouch!); however I do feel that you should consider at least one good cleanse. It’s very important for your health and to give your body that needed healing internally. Another benefit to point out- It delivers everywhere in the US and parts of Canada!

Stop by BlueprintCleanse.com to learn more and to get started. You’ll be one step away from squeezing into your favorite pair of jeans again.

Why losing weight is so hard and gaining weight is so easy

You just went away for the weekend and you came back to find that you gained five pounds over the course of three days. In your disbelief, you quickly curse the Weight Gods for being so cruel. Sound familiar? This was me last weekend. This inspired me to discuss the seemingly unbalanced equation of weight gain vs. weight loss, the facts that surround the issue and how losing the five pounds feels so much harder than gaining them:

Bikram Yoga Increases Health and Weight Loss

Credit:YogaMonth.orgMy friend and I checked out this new yoga class in L.A. called Bikram yoga aka Hot Yoga. This type of yoga is very popular in L.A. so we decided to take a class. OMG!!!!!!!!!, the classroom was heated up to like 100 degrees. I didn’t think I could survive. I sweated like I have never sweated before in my life. I probably lost 10 lbs in that 90 minute class. Supposedly this type of yoga is designed as a rejuvenating exercise that strenghtens the body from head to toe. Not only can you drop a significant amount of weight doing a couple of classes, your flexibity increases too! Doing some of the poses was easier for me to do since I was in a heated room. For people who are new to yoga or would like to try a different style, go check out Bikram yoga studios in your area. Trust me when I say you’ll be dripping with sweat. It was a great class and me and my friend plan on going back next week. Here’s a link to find one near you:
