JOIN THE CLEAN 9 CHALLENGE!

Expected weight lose results?

In average our clients lost 4 KG (about 8.8lbs or pounds) and that is about average – although some people have lost a lot more 7-9 kg.

Programs who promise 10 kg in 10 days

The final results depend of your starting point (initial weight and state of health) and of the time invested in training.

We had clients that just doesn’t like to train and still lost 5 kg, however for best results we recommend that you follow all the recommendations.

Really importantly though, you will lose inches – most people drop a dress or trouser size.

If you continue to use the follow on program – Forever F.I.T 1 and Forever F.I.T. 2, then you can easily lose a second trouser or dress size and then you definitely need a new wardrobe.

The FIT program includes similar products but the recommendations, diet and training are a bit different.

My experience

I must start by saying that I decided to try the C9 mostly for DETOX and also to reduce few centimeters in my waist line.

I’m sportive person, love to train however few months of improper diet shown on my body.

Any sport person know that body change result come 75% from diet and the rest from exercise and proper rest.

Please keep in mind that the results will be also according to your starting point. As I am a fit person with a low body fat percentage my goal was detox and reduce fat from my abdomen. You can see from the table below that I lost 3 kg and the biggest difference in cm was on my waist area because is the only area where I had some stored fat.

-I started the program during weekend which was great idea as the first 2 days were a bit difficult, quite complicated for me to drink all so many liquids, aloe vera , shakes plus 8 glasses of water/day.

-took me 2 days to get used to the taste of the Aloe vera Gel so in the beginning I was adding 1/4 sachet Argi+ in my aloe gel.    

-I exercised about 15-30 min every day (pilates, squats, abs, jumprope, walks) is really up to you

-once You make it tru the first 2 days the next 7 days are easy. After the 2 day You are used to the program plus the hunger senzation disappear and You add one meal to your diet.

-I’m a vegetarian, however I do have occasionally fish, so my meals were mainly baked veggies, salads and grilled fish (salmon and tuna).

-my advice is to don’t weigh yourself until the end and don’t mesure, for sure at the end you will be happy with the results.

-in the second day I felt a bit dizzy but after that the next days Y was full of energy and been working and exercising like any other day.

-before detox is advisable if You come from a diet full of process meat, sugar, fried products and fast food, to eat lighter for few days and try to remove or reduce the quantity of unhealthy/process foods.

-during the detox You can experience headaches, pimples, dizziness os other symptoms. In general can be one or two and will be for a short period of time, as a effect of the detox, your body is working to eliminate the stored junk from your body and skin. Can happen also that you don’t have any symptoms that is great.

-You can expect as results to have a clear skin, lose few kg, lose centimeter, reduce the body fat percentage, have more energy, and by the time you finish you will notice that the cravings for big quantities of food, and for unhealthy foods will reduce a lot.

-the program is a restart of your metabolic system so the results will stay, however if you want to be healthy and in great shape try to have a balanced diet.

For me the experience was worthed, I’m sure my body appreciated the cleansing and I’m happy with my new abdomen.

In time I tried also juice detox, and must say both work great and I would keep doing detox once every 6 months, best time are spring and autumn. The difference between the 2 types of detox, the aloe one is a bit easier to keep because you receive everything in one package, and also after the second day you have one meal a day, while on the juice detox you need to prepare every day the natural juice or buy them (preparing can be time consuming and buying is more expensive) and have only juice for few days as long as you can go or until you get to the desired results.

What if you don’t want to exercise

If you don’t have much time for exercise here are few simple advice that can help get your 30 min a day of moderate exercise:

– walk 30 min a day in the park or on the way to work

– put an moderate  video of 30 min light body weight training for home (youtube.com can be a great inspiration)

– start the cleans with a friend you can motivate each other

–  if you are looking to lose weight (rather than just a cleanse) then exercise and diet work TOGETHER.

– if you still luck motivation contact me , I  love to train

Go on – you know you can do it!

Other recommendations…..

Pregnancy

Personally, I wouldn’t advise it. Not that I think there is any risk – it just doesn’t seem the right time to reduce your calorie intake when you are eating for two (or more).

When breastfeeding

Again, unless you are a regular drinker of our Aloe Vera, then probably not as drinking large quantities of aloe vera might not help your baby breast feed.

However it is important to ensure that you are receiving sufficient high quality nutrition for both yourself and your baby’s milk and aloe vera can significantly help with the absorption of nutrients and vitamins.

Can I repeat

Yes, although twice and certainly more than twice is not normally recommended and you may achieve better results by continuing with the Forever F.I.T. 1 and then FIT 2 programme.

Whilst training for a run or high energy sports activity?

With proper care, yes, although, I usually advice very active people to go straight to Fit 1.

If a sports person really does want the benefit of the cleanse, then they are advised to either skip the first two days, or split the programme into two parts of 4 days – followed by 2 days of normal eating (this might be 3,000+ calories for a Rugby player) followed by the second 5 days.

Alternatively, you can increase the number of shakes – add one per day for an extra 300 calories – or simply include a 600 calorie meal from day one.

If you have a particular question, please contact us for specific advice.

Diabetes

If someone is borderline diabetic type 2, they might try to start at day 3. However, I think this assumes that you are already consuming Aloe Vera Gel and / or have your doctor’s advice. This is important because drinking Aloe could reduce the amount of insulin that you need to take and hence, this is why we always suggest following the programme under your doctors supervision so that they can track any changes needed for your medication.

We don’t advise someone with diabetes type 1 to follow our programme – unless they are determined to do so, in which case we would request a signed risk waiver.

Recommended age 16+

If a child has weight issues then this needs to be tackled but it is likely that there is a psychological aspect to this and hence Clean 9 would not be appropriate.

Being on medication

If you are – or recently have been – on medication (other than over the counter pharmaceuticals) then we would not wish to give generic advice but ask you to speak to your doctor or supplier or if you don’t have a supplier then please contact us. .

We have had people, who were previously on medication, successfully complete our programme but it needs to be handled carefully and under medical supervision and with your doctor’s approval. As distributors of Forever Living, we are not qualified medically to give medical advice.

Headaches

While having any type of cleansing you can get headache. So, oddly, headaches are a good sign.

To minimize the headaches, we strongly recommend having a tea before you start
