Clean 9 detox

partyguinness

Has anyone else tried this program?

http://www.theclean9site.com/

The wife's friend is flogging and one of her friends lost a bucket load of weight and apparently looks amazing. As I am about 1 stone over my fighting weight the wife decided to buy it for me- never one to shy away from a challenge I took it on. I am currently in my 4th day of 9. Never did this type of diet fad before.

Anyone else done it?

Anyone would lose weight if you don't eat any food. Better to save your 150 and just not eat for 9 days.

friend in work did it, complete codswallop.

Apart from the fact there's little to no food on it, it's unsustainable and so pointless (you'll just put the weight back on when you stop unless you make lifestyle changes) and detoxing is a load of boll0cks, it's brilliant.

Here's a good rule of thumb: any diet plan that uses the word "toxins" without defining exactly which toxins they mean is full of ****.

Anything that mentions detox is guff.

Low food, protein shakes, you'll burn fat but a lot of the weight is water. Which will rehydrate once you eat a normal diet again.

Oh I would echo all the sentiments above.

It is essentially a liquid diet with 600-800 calories daily intake. Of course you will lose weight- that is exactly what I said to my OH when I was researching it.

By all accounts aloe vera is Jesus Christ incarnate and is on the verge of curing world hunger, disease and bringing world peace...it is revolting no matter anyone says.

I did a load of googling beforehand and read all the comments (mostly negative) but it was presented to me and I said '**** it- give it a go'. It didnt cost me anything.

Having said that, I have lost 7lbs since Tuesday and Wednesday is my last day- thank God. Now, it remains to be seen if this piles back and if it is just all water (I have been following it to a tee and drinking at least 3 liters of water per day).

I would echo a comment I read before I started, the booklet gives a load a recipes etc and to be honest I have found myself buying sweet potato, spinach, almond milk and hazelnut milk for the very first time so from that angle it was been of some benefit in expanding my food tastes.

Ok, I know people will say you should be doing that anyway and you don't need to spend £100.00 for someone to tell you that but obviously people do....:o. The dieting industry is worth billions.

It's almost like a punishment- the idea of putting my self through this again will make me think twice before reaching for the extra portions or cheeky McDonalds. We will see in time.:)

The 7lbs isn't all bodyfat. Most probably isn't tbh. Drinking lots of water won't prevent you losing water weight, could probably encourage it tbh.
Those diets pretend it's all fat, so people think they put weight back on, abd are likeky to be repeat buyers.

Oh trust me I realise this plus as there is no food in my body I have naturally shrunk.

I have no time for these fads that prey on the desperete. This was pretty much an experiment. My OH says its bollicks also but we were bored.

I have read up and researched this repeatedly so I am not expecting lbs of fat to dissappear. As I said earlier- lets see my weight in few weeks time.

If it was that fecking effective the world and his uncle would be using it

It's a crash diet, a fad and downright dangerous with so little calories, and the weight tends to pile back on.

However - you've started to veer towards better foods, so you've obviously got your head screwed on, unlike the desperate, nutritionally retarded women it targets.

Is there any reason it wouldn't? The lifestyle you were living before this crash diet caused you to be overweight. Will you have a different lifestyle afterwards? If not, then of course you'll put the weight back on.

And if you're willing to change your lifestyle, which is the only way to actually get and sustain a healthy weight, then the crash diet was just an aberrant blip that has nothing to do with anything.

Sorry for delay in an update- I went on holiday.

Well I was 13lbs 3/4 on day 1 and on the morning of day 10 I was 13lbs 3 and 1/4. Basically a 10 1/2 lbs drop.

Over the past 2 weeks (day 10 was the 14 May) I am a consistent 13lbs 5 1/2.

I followed to a tee EXCEPT I was only able to do my 30 mins moderate exercise on 3 out of 9 days (did 12km bike in the gym each time). Just too busy with work.

Yes, it is a pure crash diet of starvation. Well if you want to starve yourself for 9 nine days and lose a good few pounds (dietary and financially) yeah knock yourself out.

You were 13lbs 3/4 on day 1 and 13lbs 3 and 1/4 on day 10? And that's a drop of 10lbs?

I don't understand those measurements.

I'm guessing the stone number before 13 lbs 3/4 was one higher than the number of stone before the 13lbs 3 and 1/4
