Unbelievable. I hoped it was true, but never dreamed that any diet could do this for me. I thought, deep down, that this was another hoax--only healthier.

I lost 8 pounds in 9 days! That's almost a pound a day! And inches---that's the real kicker! I lost 22 1/2 inches on my first 9 day cleansing & fat burning program!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!   Unheard of!

Am I thrilled? You'd better believe it! I'm going on a 30 day program next, then I'll do another 9 day cleanse and see if the results are similar. I have a lot more weight to lose, but what a beginning! I have every confidence that I'll make my target goal faster than I dreamed.

My husband lost 12 pounds on the 9 day cleanse, and lost 7 inches. He is very happy. He was afraid he'd lose muscle, but he actually gained a bit of muscle in his arms & legs. He lost a lot of fat around his belly. He's going on a 30 day program, now, too.

Cleansing works!

Day nine

My last day of cleanse! Feeling pretty good. No weakness, no headache...just skinnier & light on my feet!

TOMORROW I WEIGH and MEASURE after a 9 day cleanse...did it work??

Day eight

Cleanse day again. No symptoms, except a slight headache in the evening. I drank more water and ate a couple of almonds. I don't know about pounds lost, but I feel lighter and I'm wearing clothes I haven't fit into for several years!

Tried on swimsuits at the mall--I actually fit into a size 10! Haven't seen that size in ages!

Days six and seven

Drove 500 miles away for weekend trip. Stuck with my cleansing program MOSTLY! I drank the shakes, took the accelerator capsules, drank water (more bathroom breaks), and ate a balanced meal at Cracker Barrel when we were on the road.

The only cheating I did...I ate a delicious, buttery biscuit with my meal and when my family went to an ice cream shop, I gave in to the aroma of waffle cones baking...and had one child size scoop of cookie dough ice cream in a cup.

Can't stop living life. So back on track immediately with the program.

Days four & five

I've been busy with work and yard work and exercising! That means I have energy , energy, and more energy  to spare, being on these shakes and fat burner capsules. No nasty symptoms, whatsoever! I'm sleeping well and living a busy life.

Day Three

I lost 5 pounds in my first two days of cleansing! Amazing! And even more shocking...I lost 15 inches and my size 16 pants are practically falling off of me!!!

My husband lost 9 pounds in the first two days, and 3 inches! The cleansing program is truly working, just as we were told it would!

We drank our nutritional shakes for breakfast and supper, and went to our favorite restaurant for lunch. We shared a light meal and STILL brought half of it back home, because we were so full!

At church, an acquaintance approached my husband and said, "You have really lost weight!" Made his day...he was wearing a shirt from our Bahamas cruise that he hasn't been able to wear for several years.

Can't wait to see what happens after 9 days on this stuff.

Day two

I cheated and looked at the bathroom scales this morning. My husband, who is also on the 9 day cleanse, refused to weigh himself until Day 3, as per the instruction manual. Yes, I've lost weight!

But I'm not telling how many pounds until my official weigh-in tomorrow! I know my husband's weight loss will be huge, compared to mine, because he's a man. But I wonder how our inches lost will compare...

Symptoms on the cleanse days are normal, as my body rids itself of toxins. So far, the symptoms are very mild--I got a bit chilled last night and took my heating pad to bed with me. That's a fairly common symptom--especially when you have an underactive thyroid.

Guess my biggest complaint would be a headache at times--but I always battle sinus and stress headaches. If using the cleanse and exercising over the next few months makes me as healthy as I believe it's going to, maybe I'll say goodbye to headaches forever!

I haven't been hungry today. I tried the electrolyte drink mixed with just water today--tasted great! Like lemonade. I'm almost through the "tough" part. Tomorrow I eat solid food!

Day one - 6/15/2007 - Back to Top

"Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits--who forgives your sins and heals all your diseases, who redeems your life from the pit and crowns you with love and compassion, who satisfies your desires with good things so that your youth is renewed like the eagle's." (Psalm 103:2-5)

 

Day 1

I started my very first CLEANSE morning  at 7 a.m., feeling a little nervous at the thought of going two full days without "solid food". I really don't care for orange juice, so I quickly drank my 4 ounces of cleanse straight down and then  immediately drank a bottle of cold water. I went to work and watched the clock, fearful I'd get busy and forget my next allotted snack.

At 9 a.m. I ate two of their snacks. Not bad! They remind me of chocolate brownie mix. They helped me to go the next two hours without being hungry. I drank another bottle of cold water--I had a Diet Coke open on my desk as usual, but was really thirsty for the water! My Diet Coke went untouched, for the first time in years.

It was 11 a.m. when I decided to try the 4 ounces of cleanse diluted in 8 ounces of cold water. I took a sip. Nah! Too watered down, this time. I saw the electrolyte mix and decided to add a teaspoon of that to my drink. Much better. That makes it taste like lemonade. It perked me up for the afternoon, too. But you can only have it once a day.

At 1 p.m. I ate my two snacks and drank more water. I'm amazed that I'm really not that hungry! 

Then at 3 p.m. I played around with the ratio of cold water-to-cleanse and found the blend that pleased my palate most. I went to Curves for my workout.

At 5:00, I ate my 2 snacks and decided the yard needed mowed. By the time I finished, I remembered reading that on cleanse days, you probably should do less strenuous activities and go to bed early. Between a full work day, my exercise, and mowing I was wearing out fast.

When 7 p.m. rolled around, I was tired! I gulped down my cleanse and headed for bed soon after. I survived my first CLEANSE DAY! Am I healthier? Skinnier?
