I have a quick confession to make!

You see...

Some many years back, I used to recommend clean 9 to my friends, family and clients.

Clean 9 Nigeria

And this was, in fact, a bad Idea. Now that I know better, I no longer recommend it to anyone (even my worst enemies).

You'll see why in this no-nonsense Clean 9 Nigeria review

First...

What's The Clean 9 Diet?

Clean 9 diet is a diet based on mainly the use of weight loss supplements and meal replacement drinks for 9 days.

It is an extremely low-calorie diet program that promises you detox and Fast weight loss (in 9 days).

Hint: Fast and Permanent Weight-Loss are two things that don’t go together

Anyway...

To do the Clean 9 diet program, you’ll have to BUY a "Clean 9 diet pack" from the Forever Living company or any of their distributors.


How Much Is Clean 9 In Nigeria?

The price varies from $99.95 (₦32,000) upwards (depending on who’s selling)

Higher level forever living distributor get it at a cheaper price than lower distributors.

Now:

Before we dive into how the diet works proper, lets quickly look at…

What’s In The Clean 9 Pack?

Here are the items you'll find inside the clean 9 pack:

  • One shaker
  • One tape measure.
  • One Forever Fibre (9 packets).
  • One Forever Therm herbal supplement (18 tablets).
  • Two 1 litre (34 oz) bottles of Forever Aloe Vera Gel.
  • One information booklet, including an exercise plan.
  • One Forever Garcinia Plus herbal supplement (54 softgels).
  • One Forever Lite Ultra meal replacement drink powder (15 servings).
  • Clean 9 pack

    Heads up: From my research— Lab experiments that were done on the ingredients used in making the weight loss supplements in the clean 9 pack (i.e Aloe vera gel, Threm herbal and Garcinia plus) were either

    • Insignificant for weight loss
    • Mixed results with no reliable studies
    • Contained no evidence to support any of the claims
    • Had  a Minor Weight-loss effect on animals (like rats) only at very high doses

    Don’t believe me?..here are links to some of the experiments 123, 45

    Bottom line?

    The Weight-loss supplements in the clean 9 pack have NO proven Clinical result to match its Claims.

    How Does The Clean 9 Diet Work?/How To Use Clean 9

    The Clean 9 diet program is split into three phases for the 9 days

    Phase One: Days 1&2

    Here's your meal plan for the first two days on the clean 9 diet:

    • Breakfast:  2 Garcinia Plus soft gels and 1/2 a cup (120 ml) of aloe vera gel with a glass of water.
    • Snack: 1 Forever Fibre stick with water.
    • Lunch: 2 Garcinia Plus soft gels, 1/2 a cup (120 ml) of aloe vera gel with a glass of water, 1 Forever Therm tablet and 1 meal replacement drink (made with 1.25 cups of skimmed milk).
    • Dinner: 2 Garcinia Plus soft gels, 1/2 a cup of aloe vera gel with a glass of water.
      Evening: 1/2 a cup of aloe vera gel with a glass of water.

    Heads Up: The first two days are damn hard because you’ll be starving, weak and you’ll feel terrible — It gets even worse If you’re not a tablet person because you have to take a couple of big tablets.

    Here are what some clean 9 users said about their first two days:

    Phase Two: Days 3 To 8

    Here's your meal plan for day 3 to 8 on the clean 9 diet:

    • Breakfast: 2 Garcinia Plus soft gels, 1/2 a cup of aloe vera gel with a glass of water, 1 Forever Therm tablet and 1 meal replacement drink (made with 1.25 cups of skimmed milk).
    • Workout: Follow breakfast with 30 minutes of moderate-intensity exercise.

    • Dinner: 2 Garcinia Plus soft gels and a 600-calorie meal. Men can have an additional 200 calories or an extra meal replacement shake.

    Heads up: The gels are supposed to fill your stomach to stave off cravings (though whether this works actually balls down to your willpower)

    The WORST part:

    The gel tastes absolutely DISGUSTING if you have a sweet tooth.

    These people’s review said it best!

    That said, the aloe vera gel is actually a wonderful product, which I recommend.

    • Breakfast: 2 Garcinia Plus soft gels, 1/2 cup of aloe vera gel with a glass of water, 1 Forever Therm tablet and 1 meal replacement drink (made with 1.25 cups of skimmed milk).

    Clean 9 Side Effects

    There are a couple of possible side effects and safety concerns you should be aware of if  you want to try the Clean 9 diet.

    Here they are:

    • Dizziness, headaches, tiredness, irritability because clean 9 is very-low-calorie diet (6).

    • Aloe vera intake can cause allergic reactions or weakness, nausea and dizziness in some people. And in rare cases can affect the liver (7).

    • Pregnant and breastfeeding mothers are advised to stay away from clean 9 diet. Because it can cause contractions in pregnant women and stomach upset in breastfeeding babies (8).

    • lastly, people who suffer from diabetes should be cautious with the  Clean 9 diet because it can lower blood sugar (91011).

    The other supplements in the clean 9 pack have very few research studies done on them. So side effects and safe doses are not known. However for now, they have no reported side effects.

    Does The Clean 9 Diet Work?

    First, to clarify, the weight-loss supplements and shakes in clean 9 do not make you lose weight. No.

    That said...

    Since the clean 9 diet is a very low-calorie diet (about 600 calories), you are most likely to lose weight in the short term if you follow it religiously (read why here)

    But the crazy part is:

    Most of the weight you'll lose will be mostly water weight and stored carbs, instead of body fat...And...you are going to gain back all the weight and more after the diet is over. (Just like this person’s review below)

    Clean 9 Amazon Review 8

    Even some of the Clean 9 sellers claim that its meant to be for detoxing and weight loss is a side benefit.

    If you ask me, 32K+ is way too much for detox. Especially when you can get the same detox effect for almost free by drinking more water.

    So, in essence, if you want to temporarily lose some weight for, maybe, a special event, then you can give the clean 9 a try.

    But, if your aim is to lose weight permanently, then don't waste your time and money on clean 9.

    Alternative To Clean 9: What Else Can You Do To Lose Weight?

    Definitely, there are lots of weight loss and detox alternatives to the clean 9 diet. But nothing still beats a healthy diet and exercise.

    Yes, it's not fancy but it works the best!

    1. Clean 9 pack is about N88K now and I just started mine yesterday.

      I did it in 2015 at the rate of N19K then and it worked. Though it was later I realized it worked when I saw the pictures I snapped during and immediately after the 9 day program.

      So, I jumped on it again this time(October 16th, 2023) as I need a boost to motivate me on my deliberate weight loss journey that began same day.

    2. I'm still trying to make sense of what you are saying. You do have problem with the C9 pak it self or you don't like the taste of the Aloe Vera Gel?. The only sensible thing here the fact that you showed us how and what a C9 is. If the taste of the Gel doesn't go well with you, I'm sure they have other sweet drinks you can use. Stop spitting rubbish in the name of blog

    3. You articles are supper helpful thanks a bunch for all you have shared .like I could not stop reading all your articles

    4. Clean 9 for me is a miracle jump-starting weight loss program, I have seen it work for hundreds of people, and even for me a number of times. It actually helped me start a new and better-eating habit and work out plan. It's the best way to start off a weight loss journey.

      Your posts are informative and actually good, I advise you concentrate on that than writing on other people's products. You have enough topics to educate the public with.

      Thanks for your posts on calories and other topics.

      Kindy stay focused.

    5. You do not know enough about the C9 WEIGHT MANAGEMENT PROGRAM. I find your write up lacks deep knowledge of the products.

      This is a highly subjective write up… so I will not be sharing it with anyone. Not even my worst enemy.

      The C9 is a weight management program. It is a CHOICE. It is meant to help the user reset their eating habit. And hopefully, learn to cook and eat differently. The beauty of the C9 is that it can help the user lose or gain weight in a healthy way. It all depends on what food you eat and when. Whatever the case is, you will learn the habit of good healthy eating… Over a period of time that extend beyond the 9 days

    6. I honestly used it a few years ago. It worked. It was amazing. But the experience was horrible. I felt I was gonna die at some point. But it worked which was a huge motivation. I gained the weight back. But not as quickly as you emphasized. And it was due to my choice of diet. I consume too much carbs and in high portions. I cant blame clean 9 for that. But in truth it worked. I will reccomend it to people who want to crash their weight to do so with it once a year.

    7. I can’t believe you did all of this just to pull down someone else’s business. Put yourselves in their shoes. How would you feel if you read something so strong about your business. We all should learn to have empathy. In my opinion this is not fair.

      1. Oh well! All I did was assemble my honest truthful review for my readers to make an informed decision before buying clean 9.

        I don’t know anything about pulling down you’re talking about.

        Besides, no one review post can make or pull down a company. It’s ONLY the quality and effectiveness of their product that can do that Ma!

        Thank you for your comment.

        1. I have tried the cheaper way out for weight loss and it did not work for me. Perhaps loosing that initial weight within 9 days(whether its water or fat) is the actual boost I need. For a lot of people ,seeing results is enough motivation to do more and this is what clean 9 will be doing for me. I can’t wait to stop breastfeeding and start using this Clean 9 . thanks for sharing ur thoughts Sir .
