Why such limited success?

So...I'm tossing this over in my mind. I have been doing the cleanse for 14 days, 15 in all but I cheated that first day - I wasn't properly prepared. I lost 8lb in the first 8 days and nothing since! I haven't SEEN any changes in my body, any changes in my health......

I do realise there may be things occuring I can't see...but 8lbs in 14 days...that's not enough!

I re-read SB's book and he distinctly claims it can be used successfully as a reducing diet and that most people will lose 1lb a day!. He mentions the use of less maple syrup and 6glasses being sufficient for those wishing to reduce.

Now how on this planet can I NOT lose more?

I did this for many reasons, my health and my body. Both being connected and working together, I sort of see this lack of success as an indicator of what is happening on the inside....as we all know, our outside is a reflection of our internal health.

So...any suggestions here? Am I just jaded? Do you really have to do this cleanse for 40 days to see any results? I have read so many great success stories, miracle cures etc...and am very disappointed that I can't mark myself as one of them. I don't know if I would recommend this to anyone. Sure, it's not been awful...and I've gained more self control as a result.

Please help me with your words of wisdom?
