It consists of a program of clean eating. In the morning you take a probiotic 30 mins before breakfast. You drink a fiber supplement with breakfast and then in the evening when you go to bed you take the herbal cleanse capsules. The eating program is really easy actually. You just eat clean. And honestly I eat often and I'm satisfied. I struggle with a really strong sweet tooth so the first few days can be rough. It can also be rough to be around sweets or foods I can't eat during the cleanse. But it's 10 days and I'm here to tell you that *you* can do anything for 10 days. It resets me, detoxes me from sugar and sets me up to maintain a good eating program following the 10 days. The eating has become habit and because I feel so good I maintain it. I have more energy and I sleep better when I eat like this.
Anyways, here are the results. I'm down 7.8 lbs, which is pretty typical of what I lose during the cleanse. I lost 1 inch *each* on my bust, waist and hips for a total of 3 inches overall there. I also lost 1/2 inch on each thigh. Do you count both of those and end up with a total of 4? Or do you only count on thigh for 3.5 inches? I have no idea!
You can see my daily weights above. It takes a while to see a difference in fat % and I'm not sure how accurate those hand held monitors are, but I lost 0.5% of body fat. Normally I would only take that measurement every month or so because I feel like too many factors, like hydration, come into play and it's hard to get a consistent reading.
I'm really pleased with these results. I still want to see 176, but I feel like I got control of the scale creep. I just hope that I can maintain it for some time right now and continue to lose. I do the cleanse about every 90 days or so. When I have 10 days with no real social commitments that will sabotage me. Advocare says not to do it more often than every 90 days. So I do it 3-4 times a year.
Other than that life has been way too filled with drama that has been stressing me out but right now I'm not comfortable talking about it. Unfortunately I find the position my life is in right now to be rather embarrassing and uncomfortable. I woke up Tuesday morning thinking that life was a dream. Then I realized it wasn't. I sometimes wonder how I got here. But in anycase, I'm trying to distract myself and plan a hot date with my 5 year old nephew this weekend. We want to take him to see Pete's Dragon. Has anyone seen it?
