    "Detoxes" can have helpful psychological benefits, perhaps to provide a formalized "farewell" to old unhealthy eating habits. They are not useful for any other purpose, are not recommended for weight loss, and are not needed for your body's healthy function.

    It's truly not a day on MFP unless someone asks about a Detox...

    I'll just be over here starting my Monday with coffee and bacon.

    Unless you're actually consuming something toxic, no worries, you don't need a "cleanse"... if you ARE eating things that are not food, please stop! There actually is a disorder called Pica where people eat dirt, plastic, and all sorts of weird things. Now if I just wanted to flush out extra water, I would do a "beer cleanse" lol ;)

    Almost a Bingo!! ;)

    OP: Unless you don't have a liver or kidneys you don't need to do a detox!!

    Yummmm I had hash browns and bacon as part of my breakfast! Not a big coffee drinker... it's a natural cleanse for me... when I'm eating fruits & veggies, that's too much cleansing!

    OP: here's a good detox for you: have a day where you eat whatever you want (just pig out!) and then the next day, go back to eating clean... don't forget to add in your healthy fats and some carbs (they aren't that bad for you)... your body will then detox the CRAP you ate on your pig out day. Yeah, that's called taking a giant poop.

    Happy Monday folks!!!

    Drink lots of water to make sure you stay extra hydrated! Also go several days where you only consume vegetables and fruits.

    Besides, "detox" is just another fancy word for "fasting" fasting is healthy and good for you not only physically or mentally but also spiritually. Fasting will not kill you!

    Absolutely unncessary to do the above. Also, there is no need to fast.
