Tough, but RewardingJul 21, 2008
By Marlowe
I tried this fast as a way to investigate a suspected food allergy and to just reset my body.
During the fast:
I had caffeine headaches for the first 2 days but these went away. Day 2 was the hardest by far - got a little easier after that. My sense of smell increased so that I could smell a neighbor's grill 2 blocks away. Unlike some reviewers, I had a drop in energy. Some tasks took me longer to complete due to lack of focus. I realized how much of eating is either social or due to boredom. While I definitely went through periods of hunger, some of it was due to routine. Didn't experience too many side effects: face broke out just a little, bathroom visits were few (but substantial), dry skin and hair.
After the fast:
Did feel more focused and energetic, although true energy levels took a couple days to reset 100%. Took a few more days off from jogging.
Lost weight in face and stomach. I'm guessing the lack of salt helped decrease face puffiness. Stomach must have shrunk, since I fill up with smaller meals not. Will slowly work coffee, wine, etc back into diet, but will be more deliberate about it.
Overall:
An effective product that taught me alot about how I treat food. I found that a strict routine helped me get through the week. I made a grid listing out every fasting "meal" and what to take. Made a dedicated area on the table for this so I didn't have to think too much when my focus was low.

 Feel lighter, cleaner and more energetic in 5 days!Feb 17, 2006
By M. Halos
"Happy Mommy"
I just can't get enough of this fasting program. I have been on it 3 times in the past year and have experience exceptional results each time! I feel so clean internally afterwards, plus I have higher levels of energy and clarity of thought. As a result of fasting I have eliminated the need to take anti-inflammatories and have discovered that I am allergic to dairy products. The 5 days of fasting takes a lot of self-control, but the results are worth the effort! I haven't experienced any problems during my fasts, no headaches or shakes. I didn't even get hungry - probably a result of the appetite control tablets in the kit. I think the most difficult part and the most important part of each of my fasts have been "breaking the fasts". You need to be careful about what foods to introduce back into your diet and when to add them. I usually start back on very bland fruits, vegetables and brown rice. Each day I add something new. I am very careful to drink plenty of purified water (8 - 10 cups) each day during and after the fast. I would highly recommend fasting - but if you have any medical problems or are on medication it is very important to seek medical advice before fasting!! I started my first fast and ended it with my doctors advice all along the way. Since then I have done the other fasts on my own. I really love how I feel during and after the fasts - it's amazing!!

 Tough one!Mar 26, 2008
By Buttercup
I am a first time user and it was TOUGH! I was just too hungry. I think that a week or so before you start you should start cutting down on calories because it is such a shock on you body. I drank organic juices along with all the water that is required and it will fill your stomach but not satisfy the hunger. By day 3 I had a cup of steamed veggies for dinner. The fiber is not too bad if you take it with juice. The pills can be an overload after a while, but all that is nothing compared to the starvation feeling I had during the week.
Overall the product works because I noticed a big difference in my bowel movements even though I cheated by eating veggies and fruits. I would do it again but I would have to be more disciplined in my diet before starting it.

Great Kit for Digestive Health!May 05, 2009
By Stephany King
"newyork2boston"
UPDATE:
The company that makes these kits have made changes; for the positive! The fiber formula has been changed to become easier to take. It no longer changes liquids into a smoothie like texture. It has less grit, but very much of a herbal quality. Its as if you made a cup of tea and pierced the tea bag into the hot water. They have also changed what used to be 15 (per dosage!) small Super Nutrition tablets into one liquid gel capsule. I have had a decrease in focus and energy into day 3 which is very unusual when I took this kit previously. But on the upside by day 2, I noticed the results that I would only get at the end of day 4! The kit is so much more tolerable and just as effective! I recommend taking the fiber formula (the new and improved formula included in the kit) with juice as well as GREATLY decreasing your caloric intake the week before beginning the kit. I've found eating what I wanted, but at limited quantities worked best; just enough to sate my craving! With the precluding update my tips below still apply; happy cleansing!
I have been using this kit once a year for the past four years. I have very little digestive issues, and I strive to keep it that way! By doing a yearly cleanse to start off the new year, I reduce alot of issues I would start to have. As most people, I get pulled into celebrating the holidays and my diet suffers. I restore the balance with this kit. Its a sacrafice not to eat for 5-days but well worth the results.
I find this kit to be the most effective. I like the 5-day program because its jsut long enough to feel the results but not too long that you feel near the point of starvation. This program is hard for the 1st two days, but the last three become easier. A few tips I've accumlated over the years:
~Read and follow the directions included. If you have a question, call and ask a representative of the company.
~Start day one on a day that you can rest alot and have access to a bathroom. Frequent urination tends to stop on the third day. Try to plan the 5-Day fast when you have very little social situations. Social situations always have food and it will only make it harder on you!
~Drinks lots of water and tea; keep hydrated. It makes the fast easier on the stomach.
~Lower your calorie intake and number of meals a few days before. It will ease the system and mentally prepare you for not eating for 5 days.
~The fiber included is the HARDEST thing in this program to choke down. Unfortunately, I found that I've gotten better "cleansing" results by not substituting this fiber supplement for another. I make it a point to have one serving of the included fiber per day and subtitute with caplets or an easier dissolving fiber supplement for the other 2 servings for the day. Be sure to read the ingredients of a fiber supplement you choose and compare it to the included fiber supplement.
~ I juice (I have a juicer) organic veggies or certain fruits once a day (begginning or end of day) during the fast to choke down the fiber supplement included. I found Odwalla and Naked juices worked well. Be sure to read the ingredients before choosing. It will give juice the texture of a smoothie.
~ If you're not one to be able to take large pills (all pills included are large or multiples of small pills) get a pill crusher and add the powder to fresh juice (again, I have a juicer and Odwalla and Naked juices in a pinch.)
I always feel better after the 5 days and it helps to keep my eating habits healthy for the rest of the year. My main concern is to restore my digestive health, but some of the perks are weight loss, clearer nails, skin and eyes. I personally also have better mentally clarity.

A great cleansing & fasting program...especially for 1st timers!Jan 06, 2008
By Megaland
This is my first time doing a cleanse or fasting program of any kind. I gained 10 lbs over the holidays from eating a lot of "holiday" type of food and junk (LOTS of sweets). I wanted to start off the new year on a healthy start so I thought that by doing this, it would help eliminate some of my cravings ("sweet tooth").
I'm on my 4th day doing the program and I love it! It's really not that hard at all. I'm not one to have self-control when it comes to food and the appetite control really works miracles, as I don't even feel hungry at all. I had to work two home show parties & they were offering lots of yummy goodies and I had no desire to touch it (OK, I'm lying...I wanted it but I was good!). But it's true, the appetite control pills really do work!
The 1st day of the program, I felt a little colder than usual so I just bundled up and left the heater on in the house. The 2nd day of the program, I woke up feeling a bit shaky but it went away a little after I took the morning pills. The 3rd day, I woke up feeling really energized but felt a little light-headed later on during the day. Today (my 4th day), I feel totally fine!
I have been taking the pills with the fiber drink (suggestion: add lots of ice to make it easier to digest and/or a few tablespoons of fresh-juiced apple for those who are juicing) and drinking lots of water. I only juiced twice this whole time but I really wanted to fast completely so I stopped that and have only been drinking water. It's not really that hard!
The only complaints I have with the program is that it says that you're supposed to have 2-3 bowel movements a day and so far I've only had one on the 1st day and one on the 2nd day...and none since. I am planning on calling the help line to see if there's anything I can do to change that. Also, even with drinking plenty of water, I feel like my tongue is super dry and it's really white. So I'm assuming I must be dehydrated? But I'm drinking plenty of water and the color of my pee is light (when it's darker, it's usually a sign you're dehydrated). I guess that's another reason I should call!
Overall, I've had great results so far. I have lost 10 lbs since starting. I plan to eat just veggies, fruits and rice the 1st day I start eating again...which is just in two more days! I can't believe I'm almost done with this. This is probably the best self-control over ANYTHING I've ever had my whole entire life. This program makes it so easy! Just 5 days is all I could ever do so this was perfect for me.
