    I find that periodically juice fasting (smoothies, cold pressed juices, bone broth, bieler broth, and raw or lightly steamed vegetables) is a great way to get yourself back on track especially after a binge. Granted, I already eat an EXTREMELY clean diet (no gluten, dairy, soy, eggs, caffeine, alcohol, corn, refined sugar, nightshades, etc. etc.) and have been doing so for some time. When you cleanse it is a time to take a break and heal your body, to take a nap and relax, and ride out your emotions. I would recommend doing a two day juice fast at most, and if your diet isn't already dialed you will feel like CRAP, so try a transition day or two before hand and afterwords. Also, purchase a juicer or blender instead of purchasing cold pressed juices from a delivery service. This will be beneficial because 1) the juices are fresher and most likely less processed, and 2) you will save oodles of money. Also, take activated charcoal to help grab those free radicals that will be released.

    Juice fasting is an enlightening and powerful cleansing experience, it is NOT a quick fix solution for weight lose. Please, Please, Please consider cutting out Gluten, Refined Sugar, caffeine, soy, eggs, and dairy before attempting this. It will alleviate any withdrawal symptoms you may experience (you will definitely experience symptoms).

    Please note that I am not a certified dietician or a doctor, I just know what helps me... and juice fasting does. :)
    Some fancy doctrin' you got there.

    Wonder if he or she ever gets there butt off the couch snd exercises because that makes you feel much better and more energetic than any voodoo cleanse.

    Good point. After a workout, I could pull the ears of gundark.

    Those symptoms would be from hunger, not "withdrawl."

    So many howlers.

    What exactly are you trying to detox? If you're trying to detox your liver what are you trying to detox it from? Most people say they want to detox but they have no idea what they're trying to detoxify. Most of that crap is such a scam and there's no way something like Lemon Juice + Maple Syrup for 10 days is healthy. Oh yeah, and the Tea that makes you *kitten* like crazy in-between. I wish I could remember which "detox" it was but one of those went to court for claims in his book, not sure if it was criminal or not but he was in court and found guilty. Try and make nutritious food decisions and exercise, don't worry about the minor details of stuff.

    Do the important stuff 90% of the time and don't worry about that small stuff. Too many people want to do the unimportant stuff 90% of the time and then slack on the important stuff all the time, but it doesn't work that way.

    I think you are refering to Kevin Trudeau and he was taken to court by the FTC on both civil complaints and criminal charges.

    Ah yes, that sounds familiar.

    SO I eat vegetables, fruit, and animal protein (mainly bison, lamb, and some fish (but in limited quantities). My diet is a classic paleo/ketogenic diet folks... nothing new (except for the exclusion of eggs which can cause inflammation in SOME people).

    And for the record I exercise 5 days a week, and ski between 3-5 days a week ;)... God I love you trolls.

    "According to the American Liver Foundation, liver disease is the seventh leading cause of death in the United States, and over 25 million Americans have liver-related disease. The leading causes include viruses, hereditary defects and adverse drug reactions. However, the liver is the only organ that can actually regenerate. Furthermore, a healthy diet that includes alkaline foods that support liver function aid in this process and help the liver create new tissue. Interestingly, although lemons are high in acidic content, they are also one of the most alkaline foods available, making them one of the best ways to encourage liver regeneration."
    Source?

    Alkaline diets are way blown out of proportion. It is very difficult, if damn near impossible to raise your body's blood PH level.

    Really all they are saying is eat more veggies.

    "American Liver Foundation"
    No.

    The paragraph states "According to..." that is someone else paraphrasing what they think the ALF says.

    Find me where the American Liver Foundation states that?

    Your right! Can't find anything. But it can't hurt to have a few glasses a week especially for those that don't eat or like vegtables?

    I'll drink the lemon juice, I love that stuff but not for liver issues. I rely on my vaccines etc for those things.
    lol, Wheels...

    Sounds like a miserable way to waste a large amount of money. If I'm going to throw my money away I at least want to do it on something enjoyable.

    Yep like a bottle of nice wine, a nice bag or a sexy pair of shoes! B)

    One thing I find interesting while reading posts on MFP and listening to other people in general, is how they support the placebo effect concept. Last semester we did some reading and research around the concept of the placebo effect as it pertains to nutrition and supplements. Typically the research was done with prescriptions, but basically the same concept applies with buzzword nutrition concepts and supplements.

    It's a family of plant that some paleo advocates avoid. It includes potatoes, tomatoes, eggplant, and many types of peppers.

    You see, a nice second post- without crazy claims. (Not sure about the egg claim though.) One wonders why you went full-on into crazy town on the first.

    You spewed a lot of incoherent nonsense. "I already eat an EXTREMELY clean diet;" "When you cleanse it is a time to take a break and heal your body, to take a nap and relax, and ride out your emotions." "Please consider cutting out Gluten, Refined Sugar, caffeine, soy, eggs, and dairy before attempting this. "

    I called you on it, and so have others. Shrieking troll is not going to help you now.

    There's no such thing as a detox/cleanse. Your body detoxes naturally. You're throwing your money away.

    EXACTLY! Such a fraud. Unless your kidneys or liver are failing your body is good at filtering and detoxing naturally.
