Loved How I Felt and Want To Do It Again!!
I'm not going to lie, I did this cleanse to drop some weight fast. I figured it has to happen in a liquid diet, but I wanted protein so I could still be active.
I feel like I got way more out of it than just a loss of 5 pounds.
1) I felt amazing. Clear headed, energized, revitalized. **I think this was my favorite part. I don't know if it was that everything was raw, or that I cut out all processed food and alcohol, or what, but I felt AMAZING the entire time.**
2) My random stomach gurgles went away. No stomach aches after meals.
3) My hunger was fully satisfied. After the first day, I realized I didn't need to finish all six shakes. I drank 4 a day and felt great. I also drank a ton of water and green tea with lemon to replace coffee.
4) I'm actually craving the feeling that I had when I was on this program. I didn't have any weird headaches, despite detoxing pretty hard.
5) It was challenging going to a bar and not drinking or eating while everyone around me was. I actually poured the beet juice into a wine glass and savored it to replace my wine.
6) The juices were actually tasty, except the collard greens one. But it wasn't unbearable. When I first opened it, I thought it had gone bad because it smelled a little like skunk. But it didn't taste like it. It just wasn't my favorite. The beet one and the carrot one are yummy!
7) The smoothies were also quite good, but my least favorite was the one with peanuts in it. Kinda reminded me of Thai food in liquid form. The cashew, date, vanilla, cinnamon one was so good! The hemp one was fine, nothing overwhelmingly good or bad.
8) Like I said, the only tough day for me was when I went to a bar.
9) I did not need to use the bathroom more than usual. I started the cleanse on a Friday, so I'd have all weekend to run to the bathroom as needed, but I didn't need to. With the increase in liquid, I did pee a lot more, but that was because I added about 3L of water on top of the cleanse. I did not ever have to run to the bathroom unexpectedly ever, nor did I poop my brains out. I was expecting to, and was almost worried it wasn't working since I didn't, but it absolutely did work. I lost 5lb and felt amazing
10) I'm definitely going to repurchase! I'm thinking of trying the 9 day cleanse with the soups. If I do, I'll review there.
Hope you feel what I felt. Good luck!
