edited January 2015 in Health and Weight Loss
I am on Day 4 doing the modified cleanse and so far I have lost 2.2 pounds in 4 days. The modified cleanse consist of 2 smoothies and one healthy meal plus snacks. The full cleanse is 3 smoothies a day no food except for the snacks it allows you to have. I can't do that, I need at least one meal. I may try it though after I complete my modified cleanse.




I haven't taken any pictures yet, so I think I will do that today so that after the 10 days I can see a difference. When I do I'll come back and post the results!

    Water loss. Using smoothies, liquid diets, etc. usually have the highest weight regain percentages due to the fact that it teaches the user nothing on how to sustain their weight while eating SOLID foods.

    I haven't tried this since I can never locate the Martian body parts to start the smoothie. Good luck.

    It's just temp water loss that you will likely gain back as soon as you stop.

    This will likely get flagged as spam though.

    I actually know how to maintain weight loss with food and exercise. I just started this to jumpstart my weight loss and its working. Honestly have been cheating a little having more food here and there and still lost weight. No, I don't recommend this to anyone who doesn't know how to maintain weight with proper nutrition and exercise, but I've joined a FB group that JJ Smith has set up for people to help each other out and it has help a lot of people lose large amounts of weight. Not in 10 days, but over a course of a few months to a year.

    Just thought I'd share the info though!

    What you're doing then is ADVERTISING on the forums which is against Community Guidelines.

    I'm not advertising anything. I don't even know who JJ Smith is, all I know is that she is the one who wrote the book, but I can delete this post or at least take out the link.

    if you think that you need a "jumpstart" then you know nothing…

    you don't just jumpstart your metabolism...

    I've eaten real food since Wednesday and lost 2lbs. I'm pretty sure there was popcorn and ice cream in there somewhere. Come on now. Eat real food. Diets don't need jumpstarted.

    But yet you'll follow he/she/its advice, mindlessly. Seems legit.

    I once decided it would be an awesome idea to do a juice fast for 10 days. I had dreams that I was anorexic on night two. Morning of day three was the most awesome part of the fast... I ate breakfast! Never looked back
