Day 9: My Forever C9 Cleanse

Day 9, we made it! I can't believe it, the final day of a rewarding experience. Not only do I have the regained energy I was hoping for, I have it in bucket loads. I no longer feel bloated, sluggish and tired this all seems to have disappeared. My nails were thin and flaky and now look healthy and strong. I have even had colleagues comment on how well I look and I can vouch for how well I feel.

For me the Forever C9 Cleanse has been the ideal start to better health and well-being. I intend to continue with the Aloe Vera Gel as I think it is a good habit to keep up, staying healthy on the inside pays dividends on the outside.

Thank you for sharing this journey with me.

Day 6: My Forever C9 Cleanse

It's day 6 and I am 2/3 of the way through my cleanse journey!

The reasons why I embarked on this journey, were for me to improve my health and well-being, to stop being bloated all the time regardless of what I ate or when I ate, gain more energy and not feel sluggish.  And for now (touch wood) there has been no bloating, my energy levels are great and bonus my nails don't seem to be flaking as much as they were before the detox, (I sense a home manicure is on the cards if my nails continue to improve as they are).

Time seems to be speeding up now, the agonising apprehension of starting this journey and not knowing what to expect seems awhile back now. I think it has helped me to be open minded to what each day would bring, keep busy and not lose sight of my goals.

Until day 9, the final day of my cleansing journey. I shall not bore you with anymore updates until then.

(Just humour me here, I have to share this silly bit of  information). I am a fan of little gadget type things and love the shaker you get in your Forever C9 Cleansing pack. There is this handy compartment in the bottom of the shaker that you can either put your supplements into or even keep the required amount of shake powder in.  Handy if you are constantly on the move all the time.

Okay, that's it now. I am going to stop typing. Next update on day 9!

Day 4: Light bulb moment C9 Cleanse


I had another disturbed night's sleep.  Hate it, you know when you reach the point of pure slumber everything is all snuggly and you are blissfully dreaming away, well that's where I was until, yes you guessed it, suddenly awoken with the urgent need to spend a penny.  Once this starts I can be up several times during the night/early hours of the morning which in my opinion is the only inconsiderate effect I have suffered during my cleanse.

Day 4 has been pretty straight forward, managing to take my supplements and gel on time, and keeping my fluid levels up. I have eaten a few strawberries and some grapes which are on the FREE FOOD list.  Most of the day has been occupied with going to a children's birthday party and catching up with the mum's and dad's plus a quick supermarket shop for some essentials. Wasn't tempted by the goodies I would usually lust over, in particular CHOCOLATE!  I needed to spend a penny and so straight home I had to be.

Today has been a good one and a day I realised (light bulb moment) that before I would have eaten just for the sake of eating and not because I was hungry. As well as cleansing from the inside out it's also teaching me new habits and the positives to eating thoughtfully and carefully and being mindful of what my body needs and why. I suddenly recalled the times I would come home from work merrily shovelling countless biscuits into my mouth and slurping down mugs of tea whilst franticly searching the food cupboards for something to prepare for my family and I for tea. 

So hooray to me for taking the steps to change things, this cleanse is doing me the world of good.

Well I won't update again until day 6.  Until then, I shall try to be good.

Day 3: My Forever C9 Cleanse

Hello there!  I am beginning to feel like it's my body again.  My energy levels are through the roof. I managed to workout for 30 minutes and I am feeling pretty cool. I am totally stoked if this is how I am feeling and it is only day 3. Way to go!

I almost fell off my chair last night. I thought I would look through the handy booklet and check out day 3 menu as I can eat a 500 - 600 calorie meal once a day through to day 9. But it wasn't that that made me stop and read the page several times over,  it was the fact that from now on I only have to drink one glass of Aloe Vera Gel a day! High five (that's only my opinion though).

Did you know the Aloe Vera Gel contains 19 of the 20 amino acids and 7 of the eight essential ones the body needs?

Feeling like I could climb a mountain right now, pity I have to go to work shortly. Looking forward to my meal this evening probably cheese and mushroom omelette with sweet potato and vegetables (a recipe from the booklet).

Onwards and upwards!

Day 2: My Forever Living C9 Cleanse

Hello again. It is day 2 and you know what? I feel fine.  What is even more surprising I am not experiencing any headaches, nausea or bloatedness of which I had prepared myself for. There are so many stories you hear about cleansing, usually the negatives, but everyone is different and at the end of the day it is up to the individual to choose what method of detox they use.

By the end of the day I thought I would be hungry or at least tired but this wasn't the case. My energy levels were maintained and I didn't feel hungry. I must admit I did have a couple of strawberries to take away the taste of the last two glasses of the day of Aloe Gel.  There is a list of Free Foods of certain fruit and vegetables in the very helpful information booklet that is included in the C9 Cleansing pack.  These can be enjoyed as a snack throughout the day to curb the munchies!

What might be an idea to prevent being tempted to cheat is to keep busy, submerge yourself in something you really enjoy doing most to help occupy your mind. Or even get a friend to keep you motivated but keep reading the handy booklet included in pack to keep focused.

I must tell you this, the shake is amazingly yummy.  I chose to have vanilla in my pack but you can opt for chocolate depending on your taste. For me it made day 1 worthwhile!

Ok, I have finally made it home. (the traffic was pretty heavy but heyho I am back safely).  I can report that I am not flagging and to be fair I don't feel hungry so am now wondering how I am going to fit in my dinner of 2 x Forever Garcinia Plus Softgels plus 120 ml Forever Aloe Vera Gel. And before bed, another 120 ml Aloe Vera Gel and at least 250 ml of water. I will be full!

Let's hope tomorrow continues in the positive. I will update you.


Catch you later.

Day 1: My Forever living C9 Cleanse

Hi there, my name is Sandy. I thought I would share my C9 Cleanse journey with anyone who may be considering doing something like this.

The Forever pack contains:
Forever Aloe Vera Gel x 2 litre bottles.
Forever Lite Ultra with Aminotein.
Forever Therm.
Forever Garcinia Plus.
Forever Fiber
Tape measure.
Information booklet.

This is a 9 day cleanse and I plan to share daily updates on my journey.

So today being day 1:

Woke up feeling really positive and anticipating breakfast. Downed the Garcinia Plus soft gels, knowing there was no going back. Then came the Aloe Gel, 120mls of the stuff. Let's just say it is an acquired taste and I think it is going to take me a while to adjust to it. Finished off breakfast with a Therm tablet and 30 minutes of exercise (ok I jiggled around a bit whilst tidying the house and washing the dishes).

Had my first snack around 10.30 am. 'Forever Fiber', I mixed this with 250ml cold water. It doesn't taste bad. If I am honest I am hopeless at drinking enough water on a daily basis especially as I find it boring. I would go as far as saying for me it is torture and really struggle to drink enough. However drinking water is a necessary part of this programme so I am going to suck it up if I am going to do things properly.

I am on late shift and plan to take lunch with me more supplements and Aloe Gel but hey I can have my first Forever Lite Ultra shake can't wait!

Let's hope the rest of the day goes well and I shall update you later!

PS: they ask you to document your measurements in the handy booklet so you can compare at the end of day 9.
