Day Three

Friday, the day I began, wasn't really the best day to kick off a new diet seeing as I'd promised ages ago to take my daughter out for brunch to celebrate end of the school year and her excellent grades - she passed with a 74% average. But we made a plan and I kinda ate the diet food, which luckily for me, includes wholewheat bread and cheese at lunchtime as an option.

As I go on, I'll talk about what the BeTrim program includes and why it should work, but to start with, I want to mention two things I've noticed already.

1. This morning, after my bath, I applied the Shrink Cream to outer thighs, hips, and inner knees. Rubbed it in hard. Well over an hour later, I noticed that all these areas were a lot pinker than usual and that they were warm to the touch, compared to the rest of my leg. That would make sense considering what the ingredients are supposed to do, which is:

• Tones the skin and stimulates blood circulation.

• If taken in conjunction with the Be-Trim Citri-Magic-Metaboliser, the L-Carnitine, which is a fat burner, will burn up the trapped cellulite fat cells via improved blood circulation.

• Contains an ingredient that is believed to flip a switch in the cellulite cells, telling them to start burning fat.

• This causes shrinkage in cellulite-clad 'Saddlebag' thighs.

• It will even out the 'Hail Damage' cellulite appearance.

• Spurs exfoliation of dead skin cells.

• Stimulates production of the skin's own collagen.

• Cleans away toxins and water from your cellulite areas.

• Provides oxygen to refresh and stimulate the skin. Firms the skin.

• Gives continuous centimeter loss.

2. The second thing is even more interesting (and time will tell if it is real or not!). Years ago, in my teens, I suffered a severe attack of viral hepatitis. It left me with a liver that doesn't work as smoothly as it should. I don't metabolize alcohol well, for example - half a glass of sherry and the next day I feel completely hungover and sick! The other aspect is that any time I get really ill, when my system is full of toxins and other rubbish, my liver gets swollen and painful, to the point where I have to sit with my back stretched out so as not to squash it and make it feel worse. Back in 1994, when I was really sick (in hospital, isolated, IV infusions all over the place) I got this swollen liver thing and they rushed me off for a CT scan. There was nothing else causing it except the stress that the illness was putting on it (the liver, if you don't know, plays a key role in metabolism in the body.) Nowdays, I only get that sore swollen feeling if I've been sick, or if I've overeaten on fatty foods (especially cream!) or if I've drunk alcohol, which I simply don't anymore.

Yesterday, I was really uncomfortable in my liver area and it was only later on that I realized that probably what was happening was that the BeTrim program was stimulating metabolism, releasing fats and toxins etc, so my liver was taking a bit of strain. To me, that pain was Good News, as it (might) mean that the little pink and red and white pills are actually doing something!!
