    For anyone interested, we are going to be starting a new "Spring Cleanse" in the Gelato/Ice Cream lovers group in the next few days. For 30 days, try to fit in a sweet treat of your choosing, it can be frozen (as long as not Arctic Zero or Frozen Mashed Bananas), store bought (hello Girl Scout Cookie season!), homemade, etc. Post what you are eating, especially if you have food porn pics, and your results at the end of the 30 days! It will beat any lemonade/cayenne cleanse results any day or your money back!

    -disclaimer - I am not actually selling any products as part of this Spring Cleanse. It was a joke. :wink:

    Wait. Is this for real? Are you serious? Because I gotta say, this is the kind of cleanse I could get behind. *L*

    Oh we take our gelato cleanses very seriously...

    I will create a thread so everyone can have a place to track what they eat every day, but I started with this for anyone interested.

    I'm not allowed to view this event :sad:

    Me neither. Apparently the Gelato Cleanse group is too good for outsiders. Join me in my marshmallow peep cleanse. It's informal; no group or fancy thread for tracking. You just shove as many yellow marshmallow peeps into your facehole as possible. Just don't eat the eyes. Never the eyes.

    This is the first time I've ever created an event. Maybe you have to be part of the group already? I is not so gud at the interwebz...

    http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/group/22569-where-we-love-to-love-gelato-and-ice-cream

    Regardless in a day or so I will post an actual thread and link to it in the main forums so people can just join that way, I thought the event would be a fun way to start getting the word out.

    Definitely not too good for outsiders! We welcome all who love sweets. Welcome Home!
    I just don't know how to create events. Clearly. Stay tuned.

    I suggest the lettuce diet. You can eat as much as you want as long as it's lettuce.

    That's a lie! I ate 12,500 grams of romaine and it put me over my maintenance calories! I got fat on lettuce!

    So, on a serious note, I did a little research to make this smartass post, and I would need to eat almost 30 pounds of lettuce a day just to meet my caloric needs.

    ETA: Removed the word "literally" because I've a B.A. in English Lit and should know better.

    You can't see it as a non member because it's in the announcement area. The thread hasn't been created yet.

    And we are in no way too good for anyone. Well, there's only been 1 person I told she couldn't join because she posted to much nonsense in the main forum.

    I was just joshin'. I'm a member now, so clearly you all have no standards.

    So much negativity! Well I am currently a nursing student in microbiology and heavy folks do tend to have more unneeded microorganisms in their gut, so it is recommended to get the good microbiota in check and up to proper levels while lessening the bad. The basic one used before colonoscopies is good. Mixing something like miralax with gatorade and clearing yourself out for a day. You must watch your diet and up your intake of probiotics for a few weeks post. Limit (or abstain from) red meat as well.

    Well, I'm currently a pharmacy technician student, and one of the very first things we learned is that cleanses (*including* the one used before colonoscopies!) are not things that should *ever* be recommended to patients. If they are about to undergo a colonoscopy, they will have specific written instructions from their physicians. Otherwise, if they're just looking for a way to "cleanse" themselves, well, you tell them to go back to their doctor and ask about it (and dollars to donuts their doctor is going to tell them that cleanses are, in fact, garbage.)

    I'm no nursing student, but hopefully at some point in your education you will learn that the cleanse performed before a colonoscopy is not something that someone should do if they are, not...y'know...having a colonoscopy. My mother has a colonoscopy done every year (history of colon cancer in the family) and let me tell you -- if you have not done that particular cleanse yourself or even witnessed someone going through one, that is NOT something that you should be recommending to someone who's just looking for a "jump start" to weight loss or whatever foolishness people are usually getting on with when they're on weight loss forums asking about cleanses.

    I certainly hope you're at least a new nursing student, because if you are close to graduating, you still have a hell of a lot to learn in this particular arena.

    You nailed it!
    -a Pharmacy Technician

    :D
    You have no idea how much that means coming from an actual practicing pharmacy tech. I'm a brand-new PT student (I'm only halfway through my first semester!) and this is the first time I've actually trotted out some of the knowledge I've picked up so far. It's nice to know I actually got it right. So thanks!
