My Experience with the Standard Process 21 Day Cleanse

By Jordan Beretta

Just like anyone starting a 21 day program, I was nervous. I had done one other 21 day cleanse but with a  different company and it did absolutely nothing for me, so I really didn't know what to expect and was, quite honestly, very skeptical. The reason why I decided to take part in this program was to get my diet back on track because of  traveling and other summer activities that I had allowed to get the best of me. I needed to move away from sugar for the most part, and thought-- what better way? I was also looking to lose some weight, so I even took some additional products supplied by Standard Process.

As far as the program itself, it included taking a few different supplements three times a day and a shake with two different powders 2-3 times per day. I was allowed an unlimited amount of veggies and fruit as well. It is recommended to eat twice the amount of fresh vegetables than fruit due to the sugar found in fruits. As far as protein goes, I was allowed to introduce lean protein after day 11. 

I quite honestly didn't know how I was going to be able to survive 11 days without protein, but I did it. The protein that was found in the powder was enough to get me through my 6+ hour college classes, work days, and workouts daily. With setting my mentality firmly to the diet, I was able to get through the program with no problems or complaints, just some willpower. 

When I started the program I felt a little sluggish due to no caffeine and no sugar, but my body quickly adjusted and I felt back to normal.  On this program, I lost about 10 pounds and a few inches, along with a decrease in body fat. I am very happy with the results I had because, like many women, I have a hard time losing weight. 

I highly recommend this program to anyone looking to get back on track or just simply feeling like your body needs cleansing. Through both program and staff support, this program was an exciting experience to get through. It was not a horrible process, but quite enjoyable, and could be life changing for some! All you need is some drive and willpower, and results are definitely guaranteed.
