I’ve been writing blog posts connected with my Forever Living business, and my own experiences of using the products, since January 2013, and it is fascinating to see how people end up at my blog, and the questions they ask in Google searches. Although my previous posts do answer many of the questions, I thought that a post pulling together the most frequently asked questions and pointing readers to the best resources would be of use.
How does Clean 9 Work?
Clean 9 is a cleansing program which gives your body and gut a rest and helps your body get rid of toxins on the first two days through taking regular food out of your diet but including Aloe Gel, which has a cleansing effect on the bowel, and a protein shake and other supplements for nutrients and energy. To see in more detail why the Clean 9 Cleanse is so successful, read my post Cleanse verses diet – why is the Clean 9 detox so successful?
Can you do Clean 9 without Gel?
The cleansing part of the Clean 9 relies on the Aloe Gel to cleanse the gut – so you can’t do the Clean 9 without that fundamental part of the programme However you can use the Protein Shakes, Garcenia tables, Forever Lean, Forever Therm and Fiber as part of a healthy diet and they will assist you in your weight loss efforts. If you take a look at our Forever F.I.T. Website you can find all these products available individually in the Fitness and Weight management area of our shop.
What do I eat on the Clean 9 program?
On days 3 to 9 you include a 600 calorie meal each day into your programme, to reintroduce food in a controlled way into your diet. These meals should ideally not include processed foods or foods high in sugar fat or salt. There are calorie charts and meal ideas in the booklet which comes with the pack, and a few ideas on our Nutri Lean Website too. The booklets can be downloaded from the Forever F.I.T. website.
Can I eat Clean 9 Free Foods even on Days 1 and 2?
You can eat Free Foods on the Clean 9 on all 9 days of the program, for more information on what Free Foods are then take a look at my post Clean 9 – Free Foods. However if you eat too many of these foods then you may not get such good results, so you should only eat them if you absolutely feel you need to, better a free food than a doughnut. They should be used to curb cravings, but only in moderation on all days.
What does Aloe Gel taste like?
I have been asked this so often that I have written a blog post just on this topic.
Can I do the Clean 9 again straight away?
We do not recommend doing two Clean 9 programs without at least a 6 week break between them. You will only have so many toxins which need to be cleansed from your system. You are much better off moving onto the F.I.T.1 program, or continuing with a healthy eating and exercise plan . We often find that doing the cleansing program at the start of a new regime makes your efforts much more effective. If you drift back to bad habits or feel you need a boost, there is no problem with following the program for 2nd time (I have done it 3 times in 18 months) but you should not do it again straight away.
Does the Clean 9 really work?
If you follow the plan and don’t cheat, the Clean 9 does work. You may not get a huge weight loss with it – but it is a cleansing program not a weight loss product. Many people do lose weight but that is not a sign of the program working. Most people feel a boost in energy, clearer skin, and a general feeling of well-being on completion of the Clean 9. Don’t just take my word for it, though – we have a private Facebook group to offer support and answer queries for our customers, so just like our page on Facebook and ask to be added to the group.
Where can I find Clean 9 reviews?
Before and After Forever F.I.T.
We often feature Clean 9 success stories on our facebook page, and we feature success stories on our Forever F.I.T. website too. I also did a video diary when I did the Clean 9 in September 2013. Here is the first day – and follow the Silicon Bullet channel for all 9 videos.
Any more questions?
So, I hope that I have answered some of the more common questions about the Forever Living Clean 9 program, but feel free to message me should you have any questions not covered here – or ask me about my next weight management information evening where you can try the gels, supplements and protein shakes and find out much more information in person. There are more frequently asked questions answered inside the back cover of your Clean 9 information booklet which comes in the pack or it can be downloaded from the Clean 9 page on my FIT website.
We have many successful business owners who add a new income stream to their existing business through using and recommending the Clean 9 cleansing system to their clients and friends – if you would like more information about joining my growing team then do get in touch. If you can find 3 friends who want to join you in following the cleansing program with you, we can offer a generous commission for referrals – and following the program is much easier with friends!

This blog by my sister Alison answers many of the questions that I have been asked as well – if there are questions you still want answered get in touch with me at http://www.kmcforever.co.uk
Helpful information for those who are thinking of following your lead.
Hi how do i buy this to sell in my shop ? Do they do it wholesale or on commission ? Do they do free trials if you sign up ?
Hi Saffy. It’s really easy to become a distributor. Email me your number to Alison.mead@siliconbullet.com and I’ll give you a buzz.
Aw does it reduce big Tommy
If big Tommy does the Clean 9 he might see great success and be reduced!! Or do you mean Tummy? Remember Clean 9 is not a diet, it’s a cleansing program, and should be used as a kick start into a healthier lifestyle. If you want more information then please email me via the Contact Me link at the top of the page.
Hi, these two suppliments bee pollen and garcinia taste really bad. Can I swallow them other than chew them? Or will it not work?
I swallow both of the supplements whole with water and have had great success with the Clean 9. Also the new C9 Cleanse doesn’t have Bee Pollen as part of it any more – see my more recent post for details.
Hi, Im really tempted to do the clean 9. The only problem is can I have fruits it moderation for day 1 and 2.
Yes you can have fruits from the free foods list on days one and two. I am going on the company training about the program on Saturday so if you have any other questions let me know via the contact me link at the top of the page.
Hi, thank you for replying. are there any side effect using this product.
If you have any medical conditions then you should consult your doctor before starting on the program, as you would with any similar plan. If you need details of the products included then you can get them from the website here http://440100686316.myforever.biz/foreverfit/clean-9.html and I strongly recommend you follow the tips in my other blog post https://siliconbullet.wordpress.com/2013/03/16/clean-9-detox-top-tips/ to avoid some of the problems people have rushing into doing the C9 .
Hi, I wanted to ask do I dilute the aloe gel in water or drink it undiluted.
thanx
You drink our Aloe Gel undiluted. Take a look at my post ‘What Does Aloe Gel taste Like’ for more information.
oh well I have been drinking it diluted on day 1 and for breakfast on day 2 will that have any effect on my weight loss
As you need to drink lots of water anyway it shouldn’t. Remember clean 9 is not about weight loss but more about giving your system a great boost.
What do you mean a boost? Which toxins does c9 help to get rid of?
By a boost I mean doing the Clean 9 can increase your energy levels and just make you feel good. The toxins I refer to are those which build up in your intestines and prevent your body from fully absorbing the goodness from the foods you eat.
Am on High Blood Pressure medication. Can I take the Clean 9 product pls?
With any medical issue you should consult your own doctor. You may be able to follow the program under their supervision.
What happens if you end up eating on day 2? Do u just give up? Ate a bowl of all bran……
I wouldn’t give up. I would just carry on with day 3 tomorrow as written. If you feel the need to slip again try and stick to the free foods. You may have had more calories than the plan advises on day 2, but you will still have eaten far fewer calories than in your normal diet.
The gel and other supplements will still be doing their job to make you feel better. The Garcenia helps curb cravings and will become more effective as you continue on the program.
Can diabetics on insulin do clean 9
Clean 9 is not recommended for diabetics. However you may find taking the Aloe Gel regularly and some of the supplements could be beneficial to you, they can be bought individually.
I strongly suggest you consult your doctor before trying any of the products.
Nice post
After I get the first clean 9 package and finish it , do I have to use it again? I mean even after 3 months because I may not be able to afford it again …..
Liz, we don’t recommend you do Clean 9 too often. You have the choice of moving onto FIT1 or FIT2 depending on your target, or pick the supplements or shakes that worked best for you and include them in a healthy eating plan. Clean 9 is the kick start. All the parts of Clean 9 are available from my shop individually.
Hi I take adrenal support and green tea supplements should I stop taking them when doing the C 9 ?
The advice is if you are taking supplements keep taking them. Anything prescribed or medicinal check with your Dr.
Thanks for the post. I’m really tempted to try this, but I’m worried about the pills. I have thyroid problems, and so cannot take normal diet pills as they mess with thyroid function. Is everything in the pill natural? Thanks!
If you send me your email via the Contact Me section of my website then I can send you full information about the pills included with Clean 9. I would then advise you take this information to your Dr before starting on the program.
Does c9 affect the contraceptive pill? I’m on a pill that does not have a break for a period so don’t get them.
I am not a Dr so I can’t give any medical advice. I don’t believe that it does affect the pill, but if you are at all unsure then please consult your Dr. or use extra protection while you are doing the Clean 9.
Pls am I going to chew garcina plus to swallow with water.for pass 6 day of d program have been swallowing with water
Garcenia is designed to be swallowed whole and then it reaches the correct part of your gut before being released. It will not be as effective if chewed or if capsules are broken up.
Pls also am on C9 programm day 5 and period start I hope it will not affect it.
It’s best to not do Clean 9 when your period is on, but if you follow the plan you should still get good results.
Hiya I’ve just started c9 and I’ve just read u can have free food on day 1 and day 2 is this correct and of so how much can I have…Thank u
Hi Laura, anyone who sells the Clean 9 should be able to help support and advise you. If they are unable to then they should have support from someone else in their team. We have a Facebook support group for our customers where you can ask these kind of questions. The simple answer is yes you can have free foods throughout the Clean 9 but don’t over do it, just have a little if you feel you really need to. Listen to your body.
Am on day 3 and my period just started,
Should I continue using the clean 9 or not
It’s better not done during time of the month, but personally I would continue. You’ll still feel great when you’ve achieved it. You should be able to ask advice of the person you bought it from. That’s part of the service I offer to my customers.
Hi,
Just started my clean 9 today. I did 30 mins high intensity exercise but I don’t feel any headache. I thought headache is a good sign that it’s working.
Thanks
Also, what happens if I take less than 600 calories meal from day 3-9?
You won’t have enough calories and energy and could be in danger of making yourself Ill. This isn’t a diet, it’s about healthy eating and a cleanse, starving yourself is not healthy.
You are the first person to complain of NOT having a headache. It depends on your general diet before doing the C9 on if you get headaches or not. If you are on day 1 then you aren’t far enough into the program yet to notice a difference. You really should be being supported by the person who sold you the C9, it’s a service I offer to my customers.
Hi, I am wanting to do the c9 but I am currently on medication for IBS (Amitriptyline 10mg) which I take every night and wanted to know if I am able to do the c9 whilst taking this medication?
Many thanks
Kieron
Kieron,
We are not medical doctors so cannot comment on any medication specifically. I suggest you talk to your GP to double check.
I have finished the Clean 9 but i did not follow the program 100% correct.should i repeat the program immediately again.
You should really leave a 6 week break. I do advise continuing to drink the Aloe Gel and replacing one or two meals a day with the shake. If you’re long term goal is weight loss you would be better moving to the FiT one program If you message via contact me I’m happy to advise you directly, just send me your no, You can buy all the products from my online shop.
