Firstly: You must follow the instructions and stick with the program as outlined in order for this to work. If you do, it will be worth it. If you want to just half-a** it or do it "your way", I suggest that you do not bother.
In my experience, it did take 5-6 days before I saw any real changes in my daily elimination. However, just about the 6th day, I did see a very noticeable increase in the amount of stool I was releasing as well as the frequency. I usually have a bowel movement twice a day. After the first week of using the product, I was going anywhere from 4 to 5 times a day, with my biggest elimination first thing after getting up in the morning.
As far as the stool coming out like on the website, I did not really experience that until about the end of the second week. And even then not every time, and usually in the morning with the first elimination of the day. So, I think that aspect just depends on the individual as to how that goes.
I did notice that drinking the tea at night did increase the amount of stool I released in the morning and over the course of the rest of that day vs. when I did not drink it. So apparently it does work. I do recommend that you follow the manufacturer's advice and use it only every 2 to 3 days only after the first week.
Drinking the mix: I used about 8 ounces of my favorite juice to mix it in a glass and then just stirring it quickly with a spoon or butter knife. To me it was not bad; a little grainy, but fairly easy to swallow. Not as bad as I expected. However, you have to mix and drink it quickly, because if you let it thicken you'll really have to do it over. I basically stirred , drank , stirred, drank, etc., until I drank it all.
Water: You've GOT to drink more water. i did notice that on the days where I made a real effort to drink the 8 glasses they recommend, that my eliminations were smoother and that I released more stool each time I wnt to the bathroom during the day.
No, you do not have to worry about "accidents". You should be able to go about your normal day; just a couple more trips to the john than may be your usual. Not a big deal.
All in all, I can say that I really saw that I was eliminating better and more frequently by using this product. I felt better with my digestion and intestinal processing overall.
Note: My use of this product was combined with me changing to a much healthier and nutritiously balanced diet and an hour of real exercise each day 5 days out of a week.
Don't be dumb and expect to sit on your butt at home or in the office all day eating the same burgers, doughnuts, pizza, chips, fried chicken and whatever else you normally do and then expect some weight loss miracle just because you're sh**ing a little more and then say "Colonix doesn't work."
It DOES work very well to help you lose weight IF you combine it with eating good nutrition and getting regular exercise along with it. And again...DRINK PLENTY OF WATER EACH DAY. I discovered that doing so is VERY important to get the best out of the product.
