This blog post follows my journey on the Forever C9 program, if you haven’t read how I got on during days 1-3 then you might like to read that first and find out how I survived 72 hours without food and what my side effects where.
Day 4 on the Forever Living C9 plan
The aloe vera has practically lost its taste now and I am so used to drinking it at breakfast that I don’t give it a second thought, which is good as on day 1 I did not think I would survive. I have had a bit of a headache again today and I feel a bit sweaty, which I can only assume is the toxins leaving my body, or at least that’s what I hope it is. I managed a gym session tonight and despite feeling like I hadn’t eaten much I had more than enough energy to complete the circuit. Tonight’s meal was omelette again, I really need to improve my culinary skills! Or invest in an omelette maker to make life easier.
Day 5 on the Forever Living C9 plan
No headache today, yippee. In fact I have had an abundance of energy that I have used up with swimming in the morning and zumba in the evening, really hope this pays off at the weigh in tomorrow. I was looking forward to fish and steamed vegetables tonight but in true Terri style I forgot to defrost the fish so I ended up with quorn chicken and a variety of vegetables (some free, some not) all cooked in the wok with a splash of balsamic vinegar, delicious. This programme is definitely helping me to appreciate the taste of vegetables again and to think more about what I eat.
Day 6 on the Forever Living C9 plan
Weigh in day. Today is the second weigh in of the program and after losing 4.5 lbs in the first three days I am eager to see if I have continued to lose weight. I jumped on the scales first thing and was pleased to see I am down another 1.5lbs, bringing it to a total weight loss off 6lbs in 6 days, a number I am more than pleased with. I have lost another couple of inches from around my body and am starting to see a difference so the program is definitely working so far. The rest of the day went without a hitch. I am used to the routine now and feel my energy levels starting to rise, no more headaches or weird bouts of sweating either.
As I don’t drink cow’s milk I have been using water in the shakes but today I added coconut milk, it was gorgeous and I would highly recommend using this as it turns the shake into a thick flavoursome cocktail and uses less calories than semi skimmed milk.
Tonight’s meal was a salmon stir fry and it was really tasty.
My overall review of the Forever Living C9 plan so far…
After 6 days on the Forever Living C9 plan I can honestly say that I am happy with the weight and inch loss results. The plan is getting easier to follow each day, especially as I can now eat food and my energy levels are good. However, I have suffered with headaches due to the lack of caffeine and I am massively missing carbs and chocolate. But overall, so far so god. Definitely worth it.
Check out my final weigh in results and then treat yourself to a C9 cleanse here if you want to. Or if you don’t think the full C9 plan is for you then check out how I got on with the Forever Living Shake challenge.
You are making progress. Keep it up and good luck with it.
I’ve never heard of this detox before but it sounds like it’s working really well for you.
