Am I Clean Yet?

Well, it has been four days since starting the Jillian Michaels cleanse and burn. As of today - I feel good, but I am not sure what that is attributed to? I began the cleanse on Wednesday per the following instructions:

Directions: Take 2 MetaCaps of the Detox & Cleanse component with a full glass of water twice per day, in the morning and early evening, for 7 days. Do not exceed 4 MetaCaps per day. Following the 7-day detox/cleanse period, take 1 Probiotic MetaCap per day with a full glass of water for 7 days. This treatment may be repeated every 3 to 4 months as desired.

The first day, I didn't feel much difference, I woke up, took the two Detox & Cleanse capsules and went on my way. I decided to take the next two around 5:30-6:00, as they have some herbs that act like caffeine in them and I wanted to be sure that I was able to fall asleep that night. Again, nothing really different.

Thursday, took my AM dose, and around noon, i felt some rumbling... but it was really nothing to brag about. Friday, same thing. So, here I sit. Waiting...

I have noted some of the feelings/effects I have been noticing since being on the cleanse, but first - a few notes about what I am doing:
  • I am not taking any of my other supplements/vitamins while on the cleanse, aside from a vitamin D-3 at night before bed.
  • I have not changed my eating habits since starting the cleanse.
  • I am not exercising any more/less than before starting the cleanse.
  • I am in no way affiliated with Jillian Michaels or her products, nor am I getting paid for reviewing/endorsing.
So, back to the noted feelings... I noticed on Thursday that my stomach felt much fuller, longer. I almost have to force myself to eat my snacks that I have alotted for the day. Also, my gut has been gurgling, however, again - it is really nothing to brag about. I don't feel like I am cleansing, but like I am backing up and just waiting on the explosion (sorry if I am being graphic, however, this is a post about a cleansing). Friday was much of the same as above. However, the product does say that if you begin to have symptoms of cramping, diarrhea, etc that you should stop. I have not had any of those symptoms, so perhaps it is working. I guess I will see what today brings...

I'll be here... waiting!
