If you follow the instructions, you really will lose weight and feel healthy. The first day on the cleanse diet was the hurdle for me. Hurdle meaning I had to deal with a new routine and feeling hungrier than I normally would. But like I said, it was only the first day that was a hurdle for me. After that it was simple. Fast forward 4 months later and currently I routinely add a cleanse day to my weekly routine to help maintain my weight loss. In fact, I can’t even finish a day’s worth of packets now. Anyway, I’m glad I found a way to help me take better care of myself.
