Tracy Anderson Five Day Diet Cleanse

Tracy Anderson 5 Day Diet Cleanse


In one of my recent posts about Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth Paltrow’s quick weight loss and body changing plan – I included the five-day diet that Gwyneth used to prep for Iron Man 2 and for red carpet premieres. If it works for Gwyneth – it may work for you or me, right?

So, Gwyneth says she uses a detox program occasionally, called the “clean program” by Dr. Junger. In her five-day diet that I posted – Gwyneth lists some power health shakes that she drinks before working out and as meal replacements during the diet. These shakes have some of the Dr. Junger Clean products in them – the “Nourish” powder and the “Move” powder.  Although, I think it ideal to order these products and follow the diet exactly as Tracy Anderson and Gwyneth suggest, (I mean the proof is in the photos – she looks amazing) if you can’t (due to time constraints or financial reasons for example) – consider using any protein powder that you have on hand.

I made the morning protein shake on the diet and replaced the “Nourish” powder with Hemp Protein Powder and took fiber capsules to replace the “Move Powder” – you could also add fiber powder to your shake if they have that.

My recipe went like this:
  • 3/4 cup organic almond milk
  • ½ c crushed ice
  • ¼- ½ c water – depending on desired thickness
  • handful of organic frozen blueberries
  • 2 Tbsp of  Hemp Protein Powder
  • 1 packet of stevia vanilla powder


Blend in blender until smooth – this is icy, sweet and delicious. 

Again, to follow the diet exactly is ideal for optimum results and weight loss but if you are doing this for a longer time and don’t care as much about drastic weight loss results- then playing with the ingredients to your taste is great.
You could also use whey protein powder or any other good protein powder that you like.

Some reasons that I opt for hemp protein powder:
  • It’s delicious, it’s live, it’s raw and a whole food product.
  • It has an optimal ratio of omega 6 to 3 essential fatty acids with 2-4% GLA
  • It has great antioxidant properties
  •  The hemp protein powder I buy is easily digested, non GM, gluten-free, and dairy-free no genetically modified organisms, or pesticides. It has zero THC.
  • Hemp Protein Powder is up to 53.5% protein – it increases energy levels, metabolic recovery and tissue repair.
   
  • Balances all systems creating homeostasis and reduces unhealthy cravings which is great – getting rid of cravings for the bad stuff is always welcome!
 Hemp protein powder also modulates hormone balance and cycles -- PMS, menopause, post-menopause and nourishes all the body organs.

Another excellent option for an excellent protein powder is one made by Energy First. The energy 1st protein powder is one of the only ones I've seen that is sweetened completely with stevia. It comes in both chocolate and vanilla flavors. The EnergyFirst protein powder is low in calories, incredibly high in nutrients, high protein, natural and without artificial flavors, colors or ingredients that are bad for your health. I
