    the funny thing is if you look at the reviews of all the detoxes they all lost 5 pounds doing it because there blocked and not going to the bathroom I eat fruits and vegetables everyday and I drink a gallon of water a day and still cant go I think the people that are always doubting the products are the people that arnt happy with there self which includes all of you guys saying it doesn't work. because obously you guys havnt tried it. if your not happy about your self then go do something about it instead of saying *kitten* don't work if you never tried it you guys make yourself look stupid

    Yea of course the company is going to put some crap reviews they want your money which they got.

    You figured it out I'm very unhappy with myself cause I didn't throw away money on a detox but instead understand they aren't necessary because your body does very well on it's own. But if you like to throw money away I can give you my paypal

    And they are literally CRAP reviews lol.

    Yes they are!

    OP - in your defense, I'm going to assume you came to this board to ask a question about something that you really didn't know much about. That's cool.

    Just my two cents, the absolute best "detox/cleanse" you can do for yourself is drinking lots of water, eating decent foods, and sweating.

    I had food poisoning once. I don't recommend you purposely do anything to "cleanse" your body. That's why you have organs like kidneys and a liver.

    OP is just another poster seeking validation and not actual opinions.

    Anyone can get good reviews for the right price. It happens all of the time on Amazon and other sales sites.

    I did a detox not 2 minutes ago. I honestly feel like I just lost 5 lbs.




    I may need a new toilet.

    I'll bite.

    Don't bother wasting your money on detoxes and cleanses. Before I wised up, I used to spend more money than I'm proud to admit to on that crap. (Pun intended.) All it is is a laxative (or combo of several) that makes you poop until you're blue in the face. Every time I would try a new one, I would basically spend the entire day sitting on the porcelain throne. Did I lose weight? Yeah, and flushed it all down the toilet. But as soon as I ate, that weight came right back. You know why?! Because the "weight" you lost was just the food waste your body was digesting. When you take the laxative, your body just pushes it all out real fast showing a fake weight loss.

    Take it from someone who has tried at least 10 different detoxes and cleanses over the years (before I learned how dumb I was): save your money.

    ETA: had to fix a spelling error on my part.

    You need to listen to what these posters are saying about cleanses and detoxes. They're right. Please listen and do not spend money on this kind of stuff. It's a waste of time and money. Read the stickies if you're new to MFP and learn some important information to help you lose weight. That's all you need to get started.

    The Taco Bell/Mexican food detox? I've done that one. Almost as effective as a case of food poisoning.

    Your liver is either detoxing you all the time or you're dying. You cannot do something to detox your liver except avoid certain things that are poisonous to your liver. There is no cleanse, detox, or magic hoodoo that you can do to detox.

    I detox/cleanse 24/7/365, and I don't have to do anything special or spend any money.

    Got to love the natural and free services offered by my kidneys and liver.

    Isagenix is crap too. I wouldn't waste my money; it's another pyramid scheme.
