Clean 9 Detox

Before and after shot. Cant believe I was carrying all that around all the time

Today is day 1 of my 9 day detox programme. I first did it about a year ago and thought I'd give it another go. This time I'm going to blog daily about how I'm getting on.

Here is some info on our fabulous all natural weight loss / detox plan:

Clean 9 is a 9 day plan where your body is cleansed of harmful chemicals and built up waste matter (unpleasant thought, but it’s not doing any good sitting there and you can lose several kilos just from shifting that build up).

The first 2 days require will power, but if you make sure you don't have too much to do and can grab an early night it's not so bad. You only have what’s provided in the pack, plus skimmed milk, (or almond, soy or rice milk) and no food for the first 2 days, however, you do have a thick nutritious, filling, vanilla or chocolate shake - so it’s not like you have nothing. The shake contains all the right balance of vitamins, minerals, carbs and proteins that you need to ensure that you are totally supported nutritionally throughout. 

The initial ‘cleanse’ is a result of drinking a small amount of pure, high quality inner leaf Aloe vera gel drink 3 times per day, which again is packed with over 78 nutrients naturally and allows the body to detoxify gently whilst cleaning your insides - promoting a healthy gut and regulating / boosting your metabolism. The Forever Lite Ultra shakes have been improved to include Aminotein . Now with fewer carbohydrates and higher protein content, Forever Lite Ultra with Aminotein contains 100% of the Recommended Daily Intake (RDI) for vitamins and minerals, and are different to other shakes on the market as they have the complete and total benefits of soy protein. Emerging science has revealed that soy protein alone can provide some unique advantages over using the combination of whey and soy. One of the best parts about soy protein is that significant clinical research studies have found that it lowers cholesterol – and the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has even approved this as an authorised health claim. In fact, two shakes made with Forever Lite Ultra with Aminotein provide you with 34 grams of protein from soy. And according to the FDA, “25g of soy protein a day, as part of a diet low in saturated fat and cholesterol, may reduce the risk of heart disease.” That’s a win-win situation!

Soy protein also appears to support exercise performance, and because it is such a high quality protein, it satisfies the greater need athletes have for protein during muscle-building. The other difference about Forever Lite Ultra wih Aminotein is that it has a unique blend of enzymes specifically designed to break down protein and to ensure proper digestion and optimal absorption of amino acids.

During the first 2 days of the Clean 9 programme, your body is forced to draw upon the stores of fat in your body for energy, thus resulting in weight loss and inch loss, but it doesn't eat into your muscle mass and you can still train as normal.

Days 3-9 are similar to days 1 and 2 but with the addition of a 600 calorie meal per day – which is actually quite a lot for one meal if you don't eat any 'junk'. You get a booklet containing lots of recipe / meal suggestions and a calorie counter to make it easy. Plus there is a Facebook website specifically for men who are doing the detox which has recipes, tips and useful info.

The plan also contains 2 supplements to help you cope. ‘Garcinia’, which helps to quell the appetite and reduce cravings so that you don't feel like you need to snack or binge. I genuinely didn't feel that hungry, although I did have a desire to chew food but not actual hunger.

The other supplement is Bee Pollen which is a nutritional super food in itself boasting a mega dose of vitamins and minerals to give you a boost. Bee pollen has been nick named 'legal speed' due to its super energy giving qualities.

A minimum of 30 mins of exercise per day is recommended - after the first two days you will likely find you have more energy to actually train harder, but you may want to take it easier on the initial 2 days if you normally exercise strenuously.

The plan enables you too safely lose around 3 to 7kg, although results vary from person to person, and you only lose what you have to lose, the toxins and excess etc.

It is endorsed by doctors as a sensible safe plan and is nutritionally sound thanks to it being developed by a nutritionalist.
