Tiredness

Yes it's Sunday but...

Today I was very tired and even succumbed to my bed late afternoon to evening time. It was because I forgot all my supplements and didn't even have 1 shake today, so I know they work!

I do have my morning routine but being Sunday and having to rush to see family, I didn't have time to have my breakfast (shake) when I usually take them. I now know how important they so I won't skip again!


I love the vanilla shake because I don' like strong tastes but lots of people choose chocolate! Some of the info on Juice + shakes.

• Vegan (prepared with non-dairy milk)
• Free from artificial sweetener, colouring and aromas
• Vegetable Protein with High Biological Value
• One pouch lasts 15 days on 1 shake a day
• High relative protein percentage

I used the pack above but have made it last a month by starting low and taking just 1 of each every day. The dosage is recommended at more than that but for value and my body's sake, I prefer it this way.

Green Tea

I did buy these boosters to help me to lose weight but I luckily found out prior to taking them that I shouldn't have Green Tea because of my under active thyroid. I was surprised to find out how the body actually reacts to certain conditions.

Testing my supplements

You know if something works...

I'm always querying whether something works or not by stopping it and seeing what happens. I had decided to mess with by supplements by stopping them all. At first I didn't notice anything, then bam, oh dear I so knew I was missing them but I wanted to shake things up, literally!

What I did

I had stopped taking the Forever shakes and nothing much changed with my toilet troubles, energy or my mental/physical side, as they hadn't really been helping me (I had given t a very long time). I then stopped all supplements for 3 weeks at least. My illnesses slid quite considerably and I knew I had to look more into what I was putting in my body.

For one week I tried each of the 3 types of supplement from the Juice Plus Premium range to check I had no reactions. Click the images to find out more.

Then I stopped them and tried 1 shake a day of the Juice Plus Vanilla for 1 week to test again that I was ok because like everything I am sooooo sensitive and nearly always get side effects or worsening of my conditions.

I was all clear, no side effects and my symptoms improved on day 3. Then I stopped them for a week and I realised they had been keeping away my toilet troubles, bloating and pain of my stomach, tiredness and my mental health problems. So knowing they were all ok, I took them all together and the results speak volumes for me. I was able to go out into the world and do things I haven't done in a very long time and I'm never going back!

I have added my Vitamin D3 and Vitamin B complex for backup as I do NOT have a very good intake of good food. I have problems with food in so many ways its unbelievable that I'm still fat lol! I do have an under-active thyroid and medication that puts weight on me so I do know it's not how much or what I eat, I just don't have a balanced or nutrient-rich diet.

So all in all I'm very happy, I'm doing this for my health and I have researched into this companies ingredients and am happy to say they really are natural and thats why I haven't had any bad reactions like I have with Forever and Herbalife shakes.
