I joined this programme for numerous reasons.
1. I’ve always been overweight and constantly dieting / calorie counting.. I knew what I needed to be eating to fuel my body but I just needed a kick in the right direction and the benson detox was the perfect option
2. My husband and I are currently undergoing fertility treatments as we have struggled with conceiving for the past 6 years. This part of our journey got VERY expensive but we could get 2 rounds funded if we met all the criteria and one of them was BMI, our first round was unsuccessful and since then I had gained some weight back.. and I needed to lose another 5kg to be in that category.
With the 10 day benson detox I lost 4.7kg in the first 10 days, I felt amazing and I didn’t feel like I was constantly dreaming about food and I started to love cooking and being creative in the kitchen again!
Since the 10 day detox I have managed to stick to the benson mentality and diet 80/20 and have managed to lose 7.5kg and don’t plan on stopping anytime soon.
Even better news we managed to go forward with the treatment and have FIVE embryos to try with in the future... whether or not this diet helped us with that I can’t thank them enough for getting me / us on track for the future.
