My partner took part in a "cleanse" which in part cost her £120.00, I have to be honest I didn't really understand fully why or what it was let alone justifying the initial outlay, to say I was sceptical would have been an understatement. However her 9 day cleanse came and went and she lost a significant amount, following the completion she continued and has since lost a stone, gained an amazing amount of confidence and gained enough positivity to change her lifestyle and pick up a few new skills such as cooking.
Seeing the impact this had for her I felt obliged to research and look into the "cleanse" the Aloe Forever C9 cleanse in their own words "can make you look and feel better in just 9 days". Can it or is it written crap? "The programme is designed to help to jump start your journey to a slimmer, healthier you. The effective, easy to follow programme will give you the tools you need to start transforming your body"
The programme is 9 days long, there are of course after programme sales and add ons but no hard sell. Day 1 you measure parts of your body, waist, chest, hips, biceps, calves & thighs. you weigh your self.......easy right, days 1 & 2 your diet consists of the following. Breakfast - 120ml of aloe Vera gel, 2 x forever Garcinia plus softgel tablets and 1 x Forever Therm tablet, and 30 Min's of a low intensity exercise. Mid-morning you get a little treat, a water soluble Forever Fiber packet mixed with water. For Lunch, you repeat breakfast except you have 1 scoop of forever lite ultra protein mix, mixed with 300ml of skimmed milk. Dinner you have 2 more Garcinia softgels and another dose of 120ml aloe gel. before bed 120ml of Aloe gel and a glass of water.
Now, let me tell you honestly about my day 1.........its about discipline and breaking habits, I am a chef I work with food, I taste, test and nibble. I am also a police officer where food can be quite minimal depending on how busy the shift is, when you do eat it can be rushed and normally quite unhealthy such as is fast food. My day 1 I struggled I really struggled, I progressively got hungrier as the day moved on. By the end of the day I felt rubbish, I felt defeated I was an angry guy with no control of my emotions. My partner found this hilarious as she found her day 1 easy. I battled through and went to bed.
This programme cleanses you, it kicks starts your metabolism by means of a good old flush, this so, the amount of water you drink times the tablets it literally explodes your bladder. You will never urinate as much as day 1 of this in your life!
Day 1 I also struggled with the Aloe gel. 120ml x 4 is a lot, you have a 60ml cup so 2 doses each time, not a problem ordinarily how ever the Aloe gel has the texture colour transparency of well, sperm. the smell is one of a very clean hospital ward, disinfectant! the taste is indescribable its one I would never want to experience again, my first shot I gagged swallowed and threw up a chunk.
Day 3 weigh in day, I lost 4lbs in 2 days, I lost 1 inch off my chest, 1.5 inches off my waist, 2 inches off my thighs and a half inch off my calves. 5.5 inches total, not bad for downing a litre of disinfected sperm!!! You continue then on by having the following - breakfast 120ml aloe gel, 1 x scoop of forever lite protein powder and 300ml of skimmed milk, the 3 tablets as before. Mid morning snack of the soluble fiber powder, Lunch the tablets and another shake, Dinner 2 softgels as before plus a 600 calorie meal, followed by a final glass of water.
I am currently on day 5 weigh day tomorrow, I am still struggling a little but mainly with mismanaging food, my first 2 days meals were not researched or planned out I scraped by with a wholemeal pasta and stuffed peppers on day 3 and an omelette's with a cous cous salad last night. Today was a rest day so I had time to plan meals and do some shopping. with time, a little patience and a good shop its easier to plan properly, research and resource low calorie foods which can make a substantial meal.
So why forever cleanse.........
I am 30 years old, 6ft 15 stone 4 lbs, I am very self conscious of my body weight, shape and size, my weakness is discipline I struggle to keep to diets, I struggle to eat healthily. with no real motivation for the gym or regular exercise I really needed something to educate me. So far I am pleased with the progress and development, I have a better understanding of meal patterns which might sound stupid being a chef for 15 years but through this and nutritional help from my boxing mentor I know now what I have been doing wrong in terms of a structured meal plan and skipping meals.
I am a little excited about my weigh in tomorrow day 6, I am looking forward to completing this next week. The discipline involved goes a long way and instantly can see and feel I will continue forwards after with more control in mind, I wont miss the Aloe gel nor swallowing the horse tranquiliser sized tablets, I will increase my calories after too but will monitor what and when I eat. I shall be continuing the protein shakes and using them in place of a skipped meal or as a snack.
One thing about this cleanse is the support, its sensational my contact is a lady called Claire Summerton, you purchase the kit, extras and everything you need from her, I was added to a social media group where at first I felt a little apprehensive and I thought it was a little patronising, but the intentions from these supportive strangers were in the best interests. I had 3 or 4 notifications from random's giving me morale support and wishing good luck, I felt like an addict, I thought I was in a circle of strangers and I had to stand up and say hi my name is jeff and I am addicted to food! the reality was after 1 day It was good to vent and talk to these random's who had actually been there or were going trough the process, suddenly my sceptical mind was at ease.
Claire is both supportive and knowledgeable but also considerate and caring, I feel at ease to talk to her even though I have never met her.
I will post a blog at the end of the cleanse and update on the final losses and views but I 100% recommend if you have any doubts, you need a kick start or even a crash diet before a holiday you try this.
