The pear pie was good because it wasn’t all pear (like an apple pie). It was like a custard pie with layers of pear. I’ve seen a pear and apple pie in Julian, but I think that’s about it.

I did my research before beginning this process and decided I needed a cleanse not a detox. Please do your research and know the difference.

The suggestion was to do a two day juice, prior to the cleanse, with either cranberry juice mixed with water or cranberry extract, mixed accordingly to taste. Not too sweet, just to taste. I think this was the hardest part for me. I felt light headed, moody and could not work out. Walking for 10minutes was challenging, that was my extent of working out. I did the two day juice Saturday and Sunday, since I knew these two days would be quiet with no family or friends around. LOL. Didn’t want to go off on anyone.

Where the nutritional restrictions are concerned, I only ate red meat once or twice a month, so that was not a difficult thing to restrict for 16 days (2 day juice). I only drink alcohol when I go out, so that wasn’t difficult to restrict, the rest was pretty easy, except I love tea with soya milk, and splenda, that was the hardest thing for me to cut out and I managed to do it for the entire process. I already drank 60-90oz of water a day, so that again was easy for me, just more trips to the rest room. Like I needed more trips to the rest room. LOL.

Once I was finished with my two day juice, I began the cleanse. The first 3 days of the cleanse were the hardest, but I did notice that my bowel movements were not out of control. I had a type of internal warning, just like you would normally get, to let me know I needed to GO. I also noticed that my best bowel movement, if you can call it that, was first thing in the morning. That one had more of a sense of urgency, but throughout the day, my other bowel movements were very manageable. I lost a total of 6lbs during the cleanse and also became and have remained a “Pescatarian” . (Only eat fish).

The one thing I stress is whatever the water intake for taking each pill is, make sure you drink that amount of water or at least very close to the amount suggested. It is a major factor of the cleansing process. If you are one of those people that just pops a pill without drinking water, you cannot do that with this cleanse. Some of the capsules are powder filled and the water reacts with the coating around the pill and helps the digestion process of the powder in the pill. If not you will find yourself burping and you will burp powder. NO JOKE. Test the theory, I dare you. LOL. I’m joking don’t test the theory.

Anyway, all in all it was a great experience, I lost 6lbs, became a Pescatarian, and felt “cleansed” when I completed my 14 days. (16). I felt light in my mood, energized, and a sense emptyness, as if, yes, I was cleansed. LOL. That was my intent to “cleanse” not to lose weight, that was a bonus.

Would I do it again? Absolutely, in fact it may be time to do another one. This was my personal experience, someone else may not have the same results.

As always, speak with your health care professionally for the best advise fit for you. GOOD LUCK.
