I’ll be honest with you, I never was one to eat right, especially since I moved on my own and had to cook my own dinners. Breakfasts could always go down with an omelet or something to keep my stomach busy while at work, lunch would consist of some spicy/greasy fast food crap that I could literally feel killing me slowly and of course, the huge basket of chips and some beers in the evening, watching a movie or some game. Let’s face it, many of us have these deplorable eating habits and coping that with a lack of physical activity (unless you consider reaching for some papers in your office desk or getting off the couch to grab the remote physical activity) equals several negative attributes: lack of vitality, gaining weight, gas, bloating and a general state of discomfort.

Well one day, after some nasty stomach aching the week before, I decided it’s time to change these and looking on the Internet, I found that besides getting into a good eating habit, I should also try to “repair” the damage done so far, by cleansing my colon. It might have sounded disgusting at first, but reading the reviews for several products and witnessing others with similar problems as mine simply cast them away, I was convinced I need to cleanse myself as well. Two of the products that really caught my eye were Bowtrol, which most experts agreed is the end all be all solution for a healthy colon and the 7-day-Detox pack, which sounded amazing on paper. Let me start with reviewing this last one, since it’s the first I tried.

The reason I tried 7-day-Detox first over Bowtrol was a sort of rookie mistake that makes marketing of such products possible. I was obviously attracted by the fact that the 7-day-Detox pack promised results and speed, whereas Bowtrol only promised results. Despite the motto on the 7-day-Detox website, that they “don’t offer hype, just results” hype was increasingly high over this product, since many fatsoes, just like me, were hypnotized by the possibility to lose 10 pounds or so in a week.

After following the program closely, I have to admit, I felt slightly better, but I was also disappointed. I didn’t lose a lot of weight and my stomach problems weren’t completely gone. I was still feeling bloated at times, I was still gassy and my vitality wasn’t really picking up, like the label on the pack promised. I should have known better that there’s no such thing as a miracle cure to fat, but meh…like I said, rookie mistake.

When switching to Bowtrol, I was already settling down to a more balanced diet and Bowtrol made my efforts pay out, although not in 7 days, nor in 14. It took about a month of treatment to fully feel its effects and by the time I was done, none of my past problems were bugging me anymore. Bye-bye annoying bloating, bye-bye to feeling down 24/7. I was radiating with energy. Ok, it might not have been ALL Bowtrol’s doing there, since my diet probably also helped a lot, but Bowtrol was the catalyst that made it all possible and I would definitely recommend it over the 7-day-Detox plan.
