Finally, here is my review of the Jillian Michael’s 7-Day Detox program.

For those of you who aren’t familiar with this product you can go HERE to my original post about it. In that post I describe in detail each ingredient and it’s intended purpose.

As I’ve said before, you basically are just taking pills. There are no special instructions, or lists of forbidden foods – which I liked. The whole reason I chose to do this particular detox was because of it’s simplicity. For 7 days you take 2 ‘detox’ pills (one in the morning and one in early evening) and then for the 7 days following that, you take one probiotic replacer pill – then you’re done! Simple!

Why I chose to detox was basically because of the holidays, too much drinking and eating, and because of stress and lack of exercise while in Ohio with my Mom (for 4 weeks). I was trying desperately to get back to running and eating clean, but was really struggling (mentally and physically). While browsing shelves @Target I found Jillian’s Detox product and decided to give it a go.

When I started my stomach was uber bloated and I felt so gross, and the pills really did help with that. Day 1 was pretty uneventful, but from day 2 – 7, my system was flushing like a champ! It really was great. I felt lighter, cleaner, and less toxic! I took my first pill every morning with breakfast, and the last pill every evening (around 7pm) with either dinner or a snack.

The best thing about this product is that neither Jerod or myself experienced any stomach cramping or discomfort whatsoever! It was brilliant! I normally have some difficulty going to the bathroom (sorry if that TMI, but it’s relevant) if I’m not eating my super green way consistently (which I hadn’t been in Ohio), but while on the detox I went several times a day with ease. Besides no cramping or discomfort, we never got the immediate urge or need to run to the bathroom. It wasn’t like that, it was just normal, no rush to try and make it in time (know what I mean?).

I highly recommend this product for anyone looking to safely and NATURALLY detox their system, I really do. If it doesn’t really do much physically (which by my measurements you’ll see it does), it really does help mentally. The physical bloating and excess inches in my lower abdomen that I lost were great, but the mental benefit definitely outweighed that. This detox helped get me back on track because mentally I felt cleansed. I began eating better and running again. Although, I don’t feel my results were from getting back to my normal clean living because we spent a few days of the detox at my Dad’s (it was NYE) and we ate like whoa. Her product says nothing about drinking while doing the detox, I only drank once (it was NYE) and I think it’s best to cut out the drinking if you’re trying to detox.

Before ~~ After [Measurements]
Weight: 145.0 ~~ 142.5
Naval:  34 inch ~~ 33 inch
Lower Abdomen: 37.5 inch ~~ 36.3 inch
Hips, biggest part of: 39 inch ~~ 38.8 inch

I was very thorough with my measurements and very specific with their location so that everyone is certain of the numbers and exactly where on my body I measured. When someone just posts the measurement of their ‘waist’ I get confused – wondering, well which waist? where exactly? So that’s why I am so specific about the location the measurement came from!

I hope my long awaited review helps! If you have any questions please either email me or comment!
