Day 3 of 7 day cleanse

Day 3

I only took 3 pills last night since it seems to be strong for me. I took it right after dinner to so not on an empty stomach this time. No discomfort this time :D

The rest of yesterday I did not have a b. movement again. This morning I did, not watery but really soft.

I lost a little more weight! 128.0 now. So in 2 days I have lost 1 lb. And I'm eating normal too! Granted all I had yesterday was toast with egg whites and spinach, then half of a Kashi bar and trail mix while at work (which held me over fine!), then came home and pigged out on vegan chili with gluten-free vegan corn bread!! (I'm not vegan, but like to omit animal foods once in a while. It's healthier.)

So far, things are going well :) I can't wait to see my stomach after this! :D Now I'm off to drink some warm lemon water and lots of water, followed by homemade not-instant oatmeal with flax seeds and maple agave nectar!! :D

Day 2 Morning

Day 2 Morning

I had some cramping last night, 4 pills is a lot to start with! But nothing unbearable. They would last a few seconds then go away, just for about an hour, then I fell asleep. I didn't mind it though because that meant the pills were doing something :) I peed twice before bed because of downing 16 oz. of water in 30 minutes!

I didn't wake up at all all night, and wasn't rushing to the bathroom this morning either. Most deep cleanses are not supposed to do that to you - you should have a comfortable cleanse!

When I did go to the bathroom (gross, I know, but maybe helpful for some) it was watery. Not a whole lot. Just quick and done. No urgency to do it. Now I'm eating breakfast fine and I feel "light" and "empty". It's a good feeling :) *(added later) After breakfast I did need to go again, and not so watery. But I'm glad so much came out!! Less gunk in there :) No more lost weight because I ate breakfast already. I always put on 2 lbs throughout the day from eating. I'm anxious to see what the scale says tomorrow morning!!*

That's the nice thing about these. You can carry on like normal. Eat regular meals and drink lots of water. Of course, eating clean during the process is best so you aren't working against it and vegetables will help the cleanse work better (vegetables and water are cleansing anyway).

I think I will stick with 4 pills for now to see how things go, but if things are still watery I will cut back to 3. But it was probably just a shock to my system, on an empty stomach, with a lot of water that did it. But I have been 129.0 each morning for a week (down from 129.4), and I weighed 28.8 this morning, so I did lose .2 lbs!!! :D

Night 1 of 7 day cleanse

Tonight I'm starting this. I'm excited because after looking through the ingredients it looks like it will really clean out any possible parasites or nasty little bugs inside (if there are any). It'll also calm down any yeast overgrowth with Caprylic acid. I'm anxious to see if my stomach shrinks down at all!!! I've done cleanses in the past but they weren't as focused on yeast and parasites.

I'm also going to stay clear of dairy. I've cut it back drastically, but I'm going to completely cut it out, and keep carbs cut back with no bread or pasta. I really want yeast gone!! I'm prone to digestive troubles and yeast overgrowth so I want to clean out and start fresh!!

I will keep you posted on my progress through the 7 days and share before and after photos if I see a difference!
