Core Restore BT 1 Kit

I ordered Core Restore through Amazon because I was having problems with my allergies acting up and my throat was swelling partially shut everytime I would eat. My chiropractor/friend is the one who recommended that I order this product and they helped guide me through the process. I will tell you I rated it 4 star because the shake needs HELP. In saying that I found a way to make the shake way better to drink. I used my blender (not simply hand shake or the little mixer they give you with the product) and added coconut milk 12-14oz (unsweetened) as 1/2 a banana. It actually really mellowed out the bitter flavor and I didn't mind taking the shake after that. 8 oz of liquid is not enough! Drink the shake FAST though because it thickens as it sits. I blended it extra long to make the shake frothy. It tasted wayyyy better. I still feel a reformulation of the shake by the manufacturer is in order though. There has to be a way to make this better. Anyway, the second day of my fast was the worst. I was never hungry as the shake keeps you full but I had the worst migraine of my life. I literally cried for 8 hours in pain and finally had to take Advil. The next day was much better but it started to come back and I took 2 Advil again. If I ever do this again I will just take Advil sooner. The detox is very powerful and my body has a hard time dealing with it. I also had to take a few tums during the process as well. My chiropractor/friend said its better to be able to DO the detox even if you have to modify it a little then give up. My throat is 75% better after detox and I plan on doing this again in 2 weeks to see if I can get the other 25% results I need! I do recommend this product as it really does work.

I just completed the 7 day program as recommended by my doctor. Her recommendation was the result of comprehensive blood work from Boston Heart Diagnostics and various other nutritional and food sensitivity testing from Genova Diagnostics, which indicated inflammatory issues. I purchased the kit some time ago and wasn't very motivated to start, but finally decided the day after Thanksgiving would be a good time.The first two days were difficult without any food and I had to find ways of keeping busy to avoid thinking about it. During those two days I felt sometimes energized and other times lacked energy, but kept looking forward to Sunday morning when I could have some real food. For the next five days I followed the guide carefully eating only organic foods as permitted, excluding dairy, wine, coffee and other things that I typically enjoy in moderation. In addition, I began using LoseIt! to log everything I ate to be sure not to exceed the daily calorie recommendation. This was pretty eye opening by itself to see how many calories are in even very healthy things such as olive oil and avocado..The result has been that I've lost 5 lbs and 2 inches from my waist. I feel very good and am considering sticking with the program for another 21 days as I don't want to relapse into my old habits. But whatever I decide, I will definitely be much more aware of what and how much I'm taking into my body. In addition to this, I've started the 'Old School Workout" which is available online and a good reminder of what were very effective workouts for me in my earlier days.I read some comments here about the bad taste of the Core Support powder....at first I didn't like it either. However, once I began using unsweetened organic rice milk I got used to it and I've come to actually enjoy the taste and almost look forward to it in the am and pm. it's also pretty satisfying. I don't think I could do one of those fasts of only juice & water very easily, but this was a really good healthy balanced program for me!

I was nervous about the shakes after reading some reviews, but the good news is the shakes aren't bad at all. In fact, if you've ever been an endurance athlete and have used Perpetum from Hammer Nutrition or have ever used a rice based protein powder, this is what the shake is like. I blended in my Vitamix with So coconut milk and ice. I found it very filling and satisfying.I'm on day 6. The first two days of fasting were rough, but not unbearable. I did lay around and sleep the first day, the second day I was a little more active but still groggy. To be honest, though, I eat a relatively clean diet to begin with and had switched to decaf coffee a month or two ago so the headaches and fogginess weren't so bad. I did discover that I couldn't have any of the starches in the eating plan. I had a sweet potato and was so bloated and I decided never again. I had a similar reaction to the savory dal recipe (very good), but not rice cakes. By the third day I felt awesome. I lost a little over 4lbs and have stayed at the at reduced wait throughout the week. I didn't find this week difficult at all. I wasn't craving anything and enjoyed feeling lighter. On the 5th day I had the most insane amount of energy. I did yoga each morning and my usual walking to work.I was scared to start this because of all the complaints about the shake, but I'm here to say it's not bad at all! And if you're on the fence, go for it! I look forward to staying with the eating plan for a while after I finish the program.
