ready to go!!
I had the book 'UltraMetabolism' already - and I loved the medical approach, as I have chronic illness.
My friend showed me an article in a woman's magazine-- (Lose 20 lbs in a week!) and we were laughing at it, but I recognized the name. I went home, googled, and immediately ordered "UltraSimple".
The illness I have is Rheumatoid Arthritis - this illness is all about inflammation. We run a slight fever all the time, due the high amount of inflammation in our system. I realized I need to do this plan - not just for weight loss - but to reduce inflammation!
I started purchasing the stuff (Rice Protein, all the vegetables. canned salmon, flax seed & oil, water filtration system, etc.) and I have not yet bought all the supplements, but I'm starting this. In fact, I've switched to whole foods this week in preparing for the cleanse, and I have already lost 5 pounds. (FIVE! It is due to water weight, of course, but like Dr. Hyman says -- that is swelling and we shouldn't retain that much water.)
Good Luck

I am on day 5 of the ultra simple plan and am doing it for an undiagnosed autoimmune disorder. I have joint pain, high inflamation rates, vit D difficiency, anemina, positiva ana and run a low grade fever most weeks. I haven't lost any weight yet but I attribute that to the fact I was eating whole foods and taking most of the suppliments (plus a few more) already. I will say that after day two my brain fog improved. I have thought it was caused by the fever but perhaps it was inflamation instead because I still have the fever. I am still thinking clearly after 9 hours of work and that is truly amazing. Good Luck!

I have an undiagnosed (or yet to be diagnosed) auto-immune disease as well. I am doing this for the pain. I am in a lot of pain on a daily basis - especially joints and muscles. I really hope that this works. Glad to hear that your brain fog is gone!!
Day one for me..

I am so glad this board is here.. I have all my stuff too! The shakes are good.. I add cinnamon in mine to help the flavor.. The lavender bath was great last night. My friend has been on the Ultra Slim for 3 months and looks great. I am doing the 7 day plan first, then the next one..
I hope this brings you success too!

I still need to do the bath...
From my RA, I have bad knees and it's reallllyyyy hard to sit down on the floor, a tub, etc.
I love lavender so much, I am going to figure out a way to do it though!!
And did you mean that you are doing the 7 day plan, then another kind of plan?
Or did you mean that you are doing the 7 day plan, then another 7 days, then another.....?
Foot soak

If you can't take a full bath, start with a foot soak with similar ratios and use warm compresses of the mixture on your joints this will help draw some of the toxins out of your system. When you do have a good day though, try to take a bath, since the effects are so helpful for your joints too.
Another great option would be to use a sauna, if you can locate one in your community, it was also recommended to help remove some of the toxins, then apply a natural lotion with lavender afterwards.
Great Idea ~ thanks

The foot bath is a great idea for the bad days...I didn't think of that....
I actually worked it out and took a full bath last night (with help :) ) It was wonderful. It also had a nice effect on my skin and my sleep.
Day Two for me

I have both books the Ultra Simple and the Ultra Metabolism. I was planning to finish the one week for Ultra Simple and then transition to the Ultra Metabolism. There are alot more choices and it will be easier on my schedule. I will be traveling at the end of June and first of July and will have a hard time finding a blender while I am gone.
The bath was great last night. I slept good. I am still a little groggy this morning and hope I feel better soon... At this moment, coffee would be sooo good... But I am dedicated to this for this week. I still cannot remember why its not good for me. I enjoy it so much... I will look through my cabinets for some green tea... I know we can have it..
I can do this and the body deserves it..
Much love and support to all on this journey with me..
