I've been doing the Clean 9 nutritional cleansing programme, in association with Lucy from Forever Living. I go into detail about what the plan entails here but for now, I'll recap...
The idea is to cleanse your body from toxins and kick start a healthy digestive system in a bid to assist weightloss by using Aloe Vera gel, Bee Pollen, Garcinia, Aminotein, good old H2o and exercise.
Days 1 & 2 consisted of a complete cleanse whereby only water, bee pollen tablets, garcinia capsules, aloe vera gel and one aminotein milkshake passes your lips all day. See my thoughts on these 2 days here (and enter the competition with 2 winners too!)
Days 3-9 consist of more of the same however there is an additional shake and one 600 calorie meal. You can read my experience up to day 6 here.

On the whole, this plan was surprisingly easy. At times I craved food but not because I was hungry - more because I, well, just wanted it. This was a rarity though, I might add. The plan has taught me that mind over matter with regards to food is the best way forward.
I feel great, awake, full of energy. My skin also feels softer too and my hair less greasy after one day than normal. I guess it's because I've not been shovelling crap into my body and I'm now clean as a whistle!
TODAY is day 9 and I have measured and weighed accordingly. Are you ready to see the results?....
>> An incredible 9 pound and 12 inches lost!! <<
If you look at the inch loss you'll see that there is an average of around 3 inches lost per body part, except for my arms. Grrr will anything get rid of bingo wings??
I still live in maternity wear for comfort but today I am wearing real jeans! My size 18/20 jeggings are falling down and my size 18 real jeans fit completely comfortably over my second-time baby belly. I am thrilled. My waist, thighs and bum are most noticeable to me. My clothes are much more loose and I have had several comments made as to how well my diet is going and it's this week that people have started to notice more.
We know that 9lbs loss on a fatty isn't all that visible but honestly, not only can I feel the difference but I can see it. Can you?

The plan costs £119.24 here so it averages out to £13.25 per day. Or put it this way: less than £4.50 per meal per day.
The only thing I didn't like, taste-wise, was the aloe vera gel but I did cheat a little towards the end and added a dot of honey to the shot. The benefits of the aloe vera gel within the cleanse are worth persevering IMO.
But the rest?
I love it. I can't recommend it enough. The milkshakes are deliciously creamy - even made with skimmed milk, the garcinia plus suppresses your appetite, the bee pollen gives so much energy.
Remember, there is a giveaway for Forever Living products on my Day 3 post here. PLUS all first time orders will come with 10% off AND free P&P if you mention: CARSONSMUMMY.
So if you get the Clean 9 NOW with the discount, it works out at less than £4 per meal per day!
Whether you want to live clean or drop a dress size before that Christmas party, I recommend the Clean 9 plan.
What do you think of my results over the 9 days?
