Hi Amy,

I had some breakouts during my first cleanse. They may or may not have been because of my cycle which I had mid-cleanse. I do feel my blemishes were a little worse than usual, but nothing bad! Certainly nothing extreme. Of course, it all depends on your current diet, etc. I was already eating pretty cleanly (no white bread, no white flour, no sugar, no dairy, no red meat).

I did feel the benefits for a long time after I cleansed. BUT!!! I had quit eating wheat bread/wheat flour/wheat pasta during that cleanse and slowly slid back into eating it. I not only felt kinda crappy, but my undereye circles were miserable. I am hoping to finally put wheat behind me. You'll notice things like that during the cleanse. And if you change your eating habits, the benefits will last so much longer.

I actually did start losing too much weight for me. I don't use a scale, but my pants-ometer said I had lost a TON. I was a size 6 before the cleanse and a size 4 was loose on me by the end of it. I would have gone on longer had I not started losing so much weight. But, part of my weight loss was due to me cutting down on the maple syrup (I am going to stay on top of that this cleanse!).

I am sure you'll do fine. Just do things by the book. And if you are a coffee drinker, either quit before the cleanse or be ready for some amazingly killer headaches. If you have any other questions, just ask!

HAPPY CLEANSING!!!! :)

Wendy
