REVIEW OF GNC'S 7 DAY COMPLETE BODY CLEANSING PROGRAM

FUN FUN FUN.....



I have decided to do a total body cleanse. Mostly to get my body chemistry in line so that dropping body fat and getting in top physical shape will keep going on as planned.

I went to GNC to get some other supplements and I asked the dude working there which program is the best. Of course he told me about the GNC brand and one other brand. There happened to be a female there who had tried the GNC brand and said it worked well so I took her advice and decided to try it out myself.  


One thing you find out once you read the instructions is that, although it may be slightly easy to deal with (meaning not a ton of pills to take throughout the day like other plans), what it does require is a really restrictive diet for that 7 days. 


For those who have a shitty diet to begin with, this will probably be too hard for you. It's extremely restrictive. It's designed to be that way for the maximum results. I've read some customer reviews and for those who were serious about it and already had a good nutrition lifestyle, they found the product to be successful and gave it a good rating. 


I found that those who said "It sucked" or "It didn't work" were those who also said in the review that they couldn't stick to the dietary restrictions or didn't like the taste of the pills etc they gave up after day 2 or 3 so of course it didn't work....


I'm lucky. The dietary restrictions aren't too bad for me so far. I have been eating really well for the past few months and most of the stuff on the list of "ok to eat" were things I was eating normally. The items on the "don't eat" list were things I had already cut out of my diet.


So here we go...............


THE FIRST DAY

 



The first day you take a powder packet and a pack of pills in the Morning. I mixed the powder in my morning protein shake and I hear that is a good idea. If you try to do it by its self, it supposedly tastes horrible. 

The pills are pretty fucking horrible. They are huge and taste pretty bad.. Ya I know, I'm a big ole poon but man, they taste gross.

All that aside, I kind of expected to shit my brains out right away and it's actually very mellow. Ya I pooped and ya it was kinda gross but it wasn't a "run to the bathroom" kinda thing.

The misconception about this product is that it's a strict colon cleanse. It's actually not really that at all. It's a total body cleanse which includes your kidneys and liver etc. a small part of it is the depletion of waste (shitting). Actually it's driving me more nuts that every 30 min or so, i'm having to pee with a full bladder. That would make sense if it's something that cleans out your kidneys. 


At dinner, you take the PM pill packs which are big giant pills as well. There is no powder pack for the PM.


I will tell you this.... and be prepared to be grossed out but if you know me, you know that I have no shame.....


Ready?

Make sure to drink a ton of water when you are doing this program because if not, your poop is like clay and takes forever to come out. It's really gross and annoying. The good news is, you don't get a stomach ache or craps before having to shit, you just know you have to go and once you are done it's all good.  


Anyhow, I will update this blog tomorrow to cover day 2!


If you have any questions, please leave a comment.



UPDATE...

I was going to keep updating this every day but long story short... don't do this body cleanse. My self and two others I know did it and it made us all sick. Meaning broke down our immunity and we all got colds.. its too much of a coincidence for us all to feel this way at the exact same time. So I don't suggest this product to anyone.
