My boyfriend and I did that at the same time.
He's a big guy and lost 14 lbs and had no trouble.
I had lots of problems.
1) I couldn't drink the warm salt water thing in the morning, it made me gag. After that, if I sense any little bit of salt in anything I drink it makes me gag.
2) The Senna tea that you have to drink at night.... made me gag.
3) After a while the lemon, syrup, cayenne drink ... you guessed it... made me gag.
3) I have problems if my blood sugar gets low, I'm not diabetic, but I just feel terrible when my blood sugar is down. So drinking the drink that's pretty sugary was an issue for me, because if I didn't drink enough, I'd have a big sugar crash. It takes a lot of effort to make it. So one of the days I woke up and didn't have enough lemons for my boyfriend and I both to make the drink, my boyfriend had to go to work, so he used the last of the lemons and I said I'd go to the store. But my blood sugar was so low, I kept putting it off, thinking that maybe I'd feel like going to the store later. By the time he got home from work, I was lying on the couch crying and even after he tried to feed me something I was so emotional I didn't want to eat it. Anyway, that was the last day I did the cleanse. I didn't loose a single ounce.
So, mixed results. I guess you could try it, and see if it works for you. People it works for, seem to really get a lot out of it. I'm just not one of them. If I had it to do over again I would have quit when I realized that I couldn't do one of the steps, ie the first morning when I gagged on the salt water.
So my advice is, if you want to do it, give it a shot, but if you get any sense that you aren't cut out for it, then abandon ship.
Oh and also, drink the salt water a long time before you leave the house so that you have plenty of time to poop it out.
