 What's the best way to reduce eat plenty or starve yourself starve yourself wrong a half-empty stomach causes hunger tantrums What's going on gang welcome back to the channel if you've been here before welcome to my channel if you're new I Am reviewing the Puritan 10-day transformation. I'm sure we've all heard about the master cleanse Yes master cleanse the diet plan made popular by Beyonce on Oprah in 2006 So you get to eat tea and lemonade with maple syrup and cayenne pepper for 10 days sounds delightful It guarantees you to lose 10 pounds in 10 days. I did the master cleanse not only was it not fun It feeds Candida, which is the overgrowth of gut bacteria that most of us have Candida can lead to many health and wellness issues and weight issues as well I thought I was dying my body most definitely thought I was dying So what happens there is you are gonna lose 10 pounds in 10 days on the master cleanse But here's why your muscle begins to atrophy and you drop all of the excess water weight going on in your body Not only that your colon is completely flushed out. No way. No ditch that nonsense. It's horrible So then your body gets all of the weight back with interest at the end Because your cells think they're starving and so they're going to pack on when you start eating again any fat They can find when I lived in DC 40 years ago. My goodness. I owned a yoga studio in a health clinic there And I heard about purium just as a side note. I am not affiliated with purium at all However, I started researching into purium because I heard about this 10-day transformation thing that they were selling It was incredible. Yes, it's a little bit more expensive, but it is so Unbelievably worth it. So what happens is you are taking amino profile pills So these pills were designed to put muscle on people that are either paralyzed or in a coma I did link the video below that explains that in more detail for you So check that out if you want more detail on that basically your muscles are not getting any atrophy happening Your body is then forced to use fat as fuel on the master cleanse. You're not using any fat as fuel It's horrible. You want to be using the fat as fuel to burn the fat off and in that way it stays off It does not come back. So here we go again I wanted to do it again now that I am a vlogger now that I have this channel to help share with you because I am doing this I do have access to $50 off gift cards for anyone that would like one So comment below if you want to take part in this today is day one for me after all of the holidays So I have a lot of inflammation kicking.

We will see before and after I will see you next time Day two. Good morning. It might not be morning where you are, but here it is 601 it is day two last time I did this cleanse. I had an Extremely healthy lifestyle prior to doing the cleanse I eased into it by not eating meats or processed foods or gluten or dairy or alcohol Or anything like that for quite some time didn't have any processed foods gluten dairy I avoided meat for a good couple months before attempting the cleanse I was doing holistic health and lifestyle coaching for several years at that point You don't know my story check the link below on the about me video when I moved back to Ontario I kind of went off the rails a bit health-wise. It was a huge transition period for me with divorce and Leaving that business letting go of that dream So I did start indulging in things like wine here and there and I was eating meat again I was eating some processed foods here and there wasn't being strict with gluten and dairy I do live 80-20 so my day-to-day life is optimally healthy in between and Especially recently with all of the holidays It wasn't a binge or a free-for-all by any means, but I wasn't optimally healthy yesterday The struggle was real Coward without pizza my body felt like it was physically dying. I had absolutely zero energy That is normal. That's a shame. That's what happens when you do detox So obviously my body was carrying quite a few toxins I was drinking one or two cups of caffeine a day and I didn't need that of that I actually didn't even think about that. That's just dumb. It was green tea. It was, you know, healthier thing I just started this cleanse without noticing the caffeine aspect Previously when I did this cleanse, I didn't drink caffeine. I had aches, the shakes, the weakness I was crying yesterday for God knows what reason. It was just not so cool Last night I went to bed and I woke up at 2 30 in the morning awake Not awake where you feel good and energized awake. Awake where you just can't stand being awake And you really want to go back to sleep. I tried with all my might. I did not fall back asleep That is why right now it is 6 a.m. I don't want to start the shakes and the Flex foods that are allowed right now just because that would cut me off at around like 6 p.m.. No Today I did notice if you break out that happens also with detox Remember in your body fat stores toxins So when your body is using the fat for the fuel like in this and trying to eliminate all of the toxins from your body It's going to be pushing these toxins also out through your skin I used to get eczema what I did in turning gluten and alcohol and certain things into my diet So I'm noticing some itchiness on the areas where I used to have eczema that again is normal That is a symptom of the gut bacteria die-off period I feel as though today I've got a cold coming on that doesn't happen to me usually either So I am going to bump this up with some garlic echinacea and vitamin C. Let's look at me jumping on the scale here I am now 22.6 pounds, so I lost 2.3 pounds overnight. I did notice a reduction already in Inflammation and water retention. I do see more ablines today There will be before and after photos for you to check out at the end of the video So stay tuned till the end of the video to see those Let's get into the kitchen and check out these flex foods flex foods are allowed During the hours where you're not having the shake cucumbers and celery are unlimited I still don't want to go unlimited because I am trying to clean out my gut So I bought kombucha yesterday. I had a green one here. We've got turmeric beets Mixtec mango I bought these little cakes not a cucumber fan in general But if I get hanger today like yesterday, oh buddy organic apples organic avocados just a note You're not supposed to be feeling hungry even never mind hangry That is me and my indulgence in sugar and such recently This cleanse is so packed with superfoods that when I did this before in BC. I was keeping busy I was in the forest every day. I was feeling amazing. So I didn't ever think about hunger or get hangry at all This is a little bit of a different experience. My body is already today way more used to fasting I'm not hangry. I can forget about hunger even It's just sort of a little sensation that I can feel there that I'm now used to but I'll keep you posted as We go along. I keep hearing that the third fourth and fifth days are the worst I hope those are the words cuz I was hoping to be out of the woods of fog that I've got kicking by the fifth day But we'll see day sleep. What's going on gang? Welcome to day three yesterday is over. Thank Goodness yesterday was by far the hardest day so far. I know it's only the third day in but yesterday the headaches were Atrocious the caffeine withdrawal was definitely difficult Feels like there's a bulldozer driving on my skull. My head felt like a weight of million pounds. I could barely walk It was no no good. Thank goodness I can just work from home when I want and so that was a blessing yesterday Also, I noticed my body wasn't going all crazy with the five alarm. There's no food happening So I've had half an avocado one apple. I think I had a kombucha the first day and yesterday I ended up having three baby cucumbers because celery and cucumbers are Unlimited so I will be having cucumbers every time I get that crazy angry scary feeling Today I weighed in at 120.2 pounds so 4.7 pounds gone of Water retention toxins. I obviously didn't have much fat weight to lose really I was trying to get rid of water retention toxins and primarily inflammation The leading cause of most diseases in this world is inflammation Inflammation is in even at this skinniest of folk So don't think that just because you're not a bigger person that you're not inflamed. Obviously, this is very low calorie So I won't be doing any exercising day three so far. We're feeling better. Oh, yes I wanted to talk about the emotional aspect day one. I was crying at silly things thought Why am I being so emotional day two? I felt more depressed a lot of depression symptoms happening Did you know that your gut creates 90% of your serotonin? That's the happy chemical in the brain 90% is regulated by the gut So obviously the depression symptoms make perfect sense My gut is dumping all of the bad yucky overgrowth of bacteria that's in there right now, but this morning Oh my goodness. I was in bed from 9 p.m. Till 7 30 a.m. That's a long time. It felt glorious. I did have a bit of a rough sleep. I woke up a few times I know my body's trying to handle this blood sugar difference right now, but that's okay because it's so worth it the happiness today I feel so good today. I am so much happier. I am carefree. I am feeling motivation again I feel renewed and that's how we should always feel and it's not fair to us that we can harm our thoughts by The food that we're putting into our system. If you want more information on that, please comment below and I'd be happy to give you that Anyway day three. Let's get at this day four. We have survived the first three days I'm not gonna lie to you. I can't wait for this to be over When I was in BC I eased into this for like a year because I had a super healthy lifestyle Anyways, I wasn't even intentionally easing in this one has bowled me over I felt yesterday really good in the morning when I recorded the check-in and then around 11 45 of am boom Here's Johnny. There's the headache again And I was really dragging my weight around all day this morning. I woke up at 4 30 I think in the morning and I couldn't get back to sleep It's a weird feeling because you feel like you're ready to start the day today. I've got a lot of low back pain Low back pain is 90% caused by inflammation in the colon and the small intestine So I'm thinking that's maybe where my pain is coming from. I don't know, but yeah killer low back pain today I have some brain fog today that might be due to the lack of sleep and a little bit low level energy I really miss my caffeine. No, you don't need no coffee. You're going through caffeine withdrawal That sounds ridiculous because I spent years not having any caffeine, but I'm missing it So I'm having green tea caffeine free in the morning, but that's fine Today my weight was the same, but that's good because I really didn't have weight to lose I was doing this for detox purposes. My inflammation is somewhat gone I do notice a little bit still below the belly button But I've been eating an apple a day and I know that apples do tend to bloat me a little bit Caffeine withdrawal is no joke folks. If your body can feel as bad as mine has felt over the past three days It's really bad to be putting those things in your body truth be told You really don't need caffeine if you have an appropriate lifestyle So sleeping from 10 p.m. To 6 a.m. Is grand for that all of the physical repair You need from 10 p.m. To 2 a.m. All of the mental and emotional repair You need from 2 a.m. To 6 a.m. Get on that. It's really gonna help you I'm hoping the headache stays away today. I did take a cbd capsule yesterday or two actually Why didn't I think of that for the previous days? It cured my headache day four the clouds clear and the headaches are gone So i'm feeling all right right now. I don't have a headache yet And yesterday I spent 10 dollars and 15 cents on one pack of celery organic, of course One package of six small cucumbers that are just the same size as a large dill pickle and one english cucumber what 10 dollars and 15 cents Watch out for the stores you go to because smaller name stores do now carry organic produce go there But I was feeling so terrible. I could not venture any further So blessed to be able to do this blessed to feel all of these side effects. I know that this is working I can feel it working. I can't wait for day 10. I'll see you next time the next day Hey gang, welcome to day four. No, no, no today. Oh my gosh. I just got so excited Wow, my brain is so over this that I still thought I was stuck in day four What year is it? I am halfway. So as a weight update, I am down 4.9 pounds again I am a small person, but I am pretty excited today to check out what my before and after pictures are gonna be like because like I don't know I can tell changes. There's no water retention. I'm not jiggly. My skin is clearing now And it's becoming glowy and radiant, which is so nice I have no more brain fog and I actually have a super happy feeling every morning Well throughout the day even but especially in the mornings I'm just so happy and excited for no reason so I can tell that my head is cleared I was experiencing some serious low back pain this morning. It happens mostly in the mornings I can tell though from what I know and what I feel that that's coming from my gut There are no more headaches. Do you remember when you were a kid having growing pains? Oh my lord I don't know what is going on if the amino acid pills are still bulking me because they should be putting muscle on the body throughout this Cleanse, but my upper legs so my hamstrings quads all of that Holy crap the growing pains were intense last night. Anyhow, that is my day five Halfway check-in. Also, I got more creative with food. So I will post a picture Here of my dinner last night. It was raspberries and avocado I'm learning how to incorporate the serving sizes that I'm allowed of the specific flex foods Into different types of meals rather than feeling like I'm just throwing something in my mouth periodically throughout the day So since cucumbers were always unlimited I decided also to smash up half an avocado and use cucumber chips to dip it in so excited Feeling amazing can't wait to see what happens over the next four days.
