Clean 9 Detox Review - Claire's Story

After hearing and reading many success stories about Forever's Clean 9, I decided to be barave and give it a go. As a distributor of Forever Living Products it is important to be able to give first hand experience of the product.
ALSO having been inactive due to hip dysplacia i had put on a lot of weight. I went into hospital for hip surgery May 19th 2014 and decided to use this as my start date. May as well do something useful during my recovery which was going to take at least 12 weeks.

Preparing For The Clean 9 Programme

 It is recommended that you reduce your intake of stimulants a couple of days before starting the detox to minimize any of the possible side effects of withdrawal but instead of the 3-4 cups of coffee I normally drink every day, I think I cut it to 2 cups on the day before I started...followed by 12 hours pre-op of water only

I also checked my BMI which you can do here http://www.440500018943.myforever.biz/nutrilean/calculators/bmi.html

My starting BMI was 30.11 - obese  

 

Starting Clean9 - The first two days

 The first 2 days of the Clean 9 program consist of drinking lots of aloe vera gel and taking both the garcinia and bee pollen supplements as well as drinking lots of water.

There is also 1 protein shake to drink at lunch time but no other eating.

Days 1 and 2

Day 1 went very smoothly.  I missed the act of physically eating and would be lying if I said I didn't feel a little hungry when it got to the evening but i declined the sandwich offered by the hospital.
Day 2 was a little more difficult but I was determined to follow the Clean 9 instructions exactly so I distracted myself with other things as much as I could. I had a slight headache on waking up .The headache lessened when I drank some water and applied Aloe Heat to my temples. Obviously I was still in hospital at this point with a catheter, I took full advantage of this and drank litres of water. Despite being in pain i noticed that my skin was already clearer and when the surgeon popped in to see me my healthy glow was commented upon.

Days 3 - 9

Day 3 could be described as "exciting" - as I got to taste the protein shake which was delicious! I went for the Chocolate shake, it is also available in Vanilla

 I've  had  protein shakes before as meal replacements during Crohns flare ups so I wasn't surprised how full I felt after drinking it. I also got to eat a 600 calorie meal for dinner which consisted of a fillet of chicken, vegetables and mashed potatoes. Luckily the hospital I stayed in has lovely food and catered for my dietary needs.
The following 6 days were busy with getting out of bed and attempting to walk with crutches. I left the hospital on day 5 and came home to a meal of lasagne cooked by my daughter...not the lowest fat meal i know but it was delicious. As my body was healing from surgery I was allowing myself the odd extra allowance as protein is great at promoting healing.
I got to day 9 and attempted the stairs with crutches to reach the bathroom scales. Balancing was hard and at first i thought that i had lost about 60lbs...BUT, NO, I was leaning on the crutches!! I gradually altered my position and let go of the crutches....I had lost 11lb. I would have jumped for joy if Icould have done.


Days 10 - present
Day 10 and 11 I kept to the diet (nutrilean follow on programme) but I did allow myself a fair few choccies given to me by my lovely visitors. I soon got on track again. Sometimes I played with the calories a little and had some of them at lunchtime and the rest in the evening. At day 60 i had lost 28lbs. I am so thrilled...it has taken me two months, I feel healthier and have more energy. I have had to buy clothes two sizes smaller.


So, how did I do? Well, I lost 28lbs bringing my BMI to a healthy 24.84  I still have half a stone I would like to lose. I am beginning to walk more now and hope that by having more exercise and eating healthily i will lose the remaining lbs and tone up too.

ULCER, CROHNS, COLITIS, IBS...dietery advice and help

 Do you have an ulcer? Suffer from Crohns, Colitis or another bowel or digestion problem?

Do you want a healthier bowel or digestive tract?

If you are reading this because you have one of the conditions above then you will know that it is not much fun having any of these bowel/gut conditions. Lots of pain, wind, weight loss, weight gain, mad dashes to the bathroom etc. Read on to find some useful tips, support groups and products that could change your life.
I have had Crohns disease since my 20s...I am 43 now. With the support of my gastroenterologist I came off all prescribed medications because of side effects and looked at alternatives. I am diet controlled and part of my diet is drinking Aloe.
 I have been drinking Aloe Vera Gel for four years now and have only had one episode that required steroids in that time. (Before Aloe it was at least twice a year.) AMAZING!!

 I am NOT saying I am symptom free because I am not. Due to a hemi-colectomy I have short bowel syndrome and if I get my diet wrong then I suffer from bloating and wind pain.
What I AM saying is that drinking the gel and taking other Forever Products has changed my life so much that I am now able to work, go out for the day without having to worry if there is a toilet nearby.
  
Dietry advice and Tips

Eat 5 to 6 small meals a day instead of 3 larger meals. It is important that you avoid overeating. Frequent, smaller meals will be more comfortable and easier on the stomach than two or three large meals a day.
Eat a diet rich in fibre, especially from fruits and vegetables (unless you are on a low fibre diet)
Rest and relax a few minutes before and after each meal, as well as remaining relaxed during meals.
Eat slowly and chew you food well
Avoid eating within 3 hours before bedtime
Eat foods that are low fat
Avoid foods that are fried
Avoid foods that are spicy
Cut down on the following foods:
Coffee
Decaffeinated coffee
Black Tea
Cola drinks
Carbonated beverages
+ Citric acid found in lemons, limes, oranges, grapefruits, pineapples, fruit juices and jams
Tomato-based products
Chocolate

Avoiding certain over-the-counter pain relievers
The use of aspirin and NSAIDs (non steroidal inflammatory drugs such as ibuprofen and Aleve) can cause ulcers, or aggravate symptoms if you already have an ulcer or bowel condition. If you need to take these medicines, your doctor may prescribe another medicine to protect your stomach.

Taking a probiotic can really help symptoms .
Probiotics are live microorganisms that benefit health. Long-term use of probiotics lowers the risk of infection by H. pylori and development of ulcers.

Forever Active Probiotic comes in beadlet form and does not need to be kept in the fridge. No more drinking those yucky little probiotic drinks...taking them is easy and taking them with you when you are out and about is easy too.
What is great with this product is that it works alongside our drinking gel. The gel provides an ideal environment for the probiotic to function. The probiotic works primarily in the colon where it aids digestion, helping to allow our gut to realease nutrients for absorption.
The unique nature of Forevers Active Probiotic means that it only releases the six beneficial strains of microbes only AFTER they reach the desired destination of the large intestine. This formulation is unique

It also DOES NOT contain wheat, yeast, gluten, dairy, corn or any artificial flavourings, colours or preservatives.

 What is Forever Living Aloe Vera Gel?
Aloe Vera is a succulent plant which has over 75 known ingredients in its leaf...there will be more about this in subsequent posts. Forever Living Aloe gel is one of the purest available. Treated with care, avoiding pasteurisation, freeze drying and heating, the Aloe Vera retains its beneficial properties. Forever drinking gels are made with 100% inner leaf gel. None of the products are tested on animals. Aloe Vera can be drunk or applied to the skin and most products are even safe for animals too.

 Aloe Vera is a natural "balancer" especially in the gut where it tends to regulate the various bacteria and yeasts that inhabit it. e.g - regular ingestion of the gel reduces yeast overgrowth and helps rid us of unhealthy bacteria Aloe Vera Gel - Assists in healthy digestion

A healthy digestive tract ensures that nutrients from the food we eat are absorbed into the bloodstream. There is clear and clinical evidence that by drinking Aloe vera gel the bowel is ableAloe Vera gel contains 19 of the 20 amino acids needed by the human body and seven of the eight essential ones that just cannot be made. 

By drinking the gel the body is able to get enough to allow complex enzyme systems to work really well. This means the body can function at 100% giving you a wonderful feeling of well being to absorb these nutrients more efficiently, especially protein (protein is essential in promoting healing)
