Just started the full cleanse ... On day 2. Has anyone done this before? Any advice to get thrw it? I'm not hungry hungry I think it's more mental hungry. What kind of results did you get? I'm more upset that I can't workout more than anything due to the lack of fuel. I might do some squats and light weights to feel normal.

No. Why in the world would I deprive myself of food for something my kidney and liver do for me? Sounds horrid.0

What the heck do you think you're accomplishing with this?0

Cleanses don't do anything, if you do lose weight it's because you are hitting a calorie deficit. If you have working liver and kidneys you don't need a cleanse. If you don't, you have bigger problems.0

You will also have a had time finding support for cleanses, "The _____ diet", diet pills, ect. on this site. Really, just stick to a calorie deficit, that's all you need.0

As someone who fell into the "cleanse" trap once (not this green thing, a different sort) and became seriously ill over it, I can't say I had a good experience or would recommend it. But since you are already doing it and I'm assuming you're intending on following through, my only advice is to listen to your body, give it what it needs and if that means stopping, then stop. I did not listen to my body and followed an awful "if it feels suck it's working" mentality and ended up in quite a bit of agony over it.
Food for thought (ha), if you simply added green smoothies to a balanced diet that included other foods, wouldn't you get the same result from this 10 day thing, but over time instead? What happens on day 11?
When I hear about things that "jump start" weight loss I think of a dead car battery, sure, that jump start will strike it up, but it'll just go dead again if you don't get your car moving.

Which one are you doing? Most of them have plenty of calories for working out. Plus your body gets fuel from body fat, so assuming you're not trying to run a marathon on 800 calorie days, you should be ok.

Fuel your workouts and if you like green smoothies, just drink them (they can be useful for people who need to up their vegetable intake when they don't really like veggies). However, ditch the notion that you're cleansing. Add the smoothies into a balanced diet that has a reasonable caloric deficit, not a HUGE, unsafe one.
Your body detoxes itself all on its own without any help. You have a liver and kidneys doing their job. Do yours and nourish your body and let it work doing what it was meant to do.0 -

The only people benefiting from smoothie and juice cleanses are those self-set gurus who are sponsored for advertising smoothie and juice machines on their websites and put weird juice combinations together and charge people to download 3 day, 10 day and even longer juice/smoothie diets.
Been there, argued in favour of it and since learned better.0 -
Do you understand the words "assuming you're not"?

I know it's the in thing to freak out over the words cleanse, detox and apparently now smoothie. If someone said they were on a raw vegan diet would you also freak out? That's about all the smoothie cleanses are. A produce-based diet isn't dangerous, especially for a short period.
Though if all you ever read is MFP forums, you'd sure think it was. So bravo for the MFP-studying but maybe consider some breadth of info, or at least something authoritative now and then.

Advice? You want advice?
Stop the "cleanse"....You aren't cleansing anything, you are detoxing anything.
Your body does this just fine on it's own.
Eat food.
Eat at a caloric deficit.
Move a little more.0 -
I've gotten teeth to chew my food with.
And a digestive system to do all the cleansing my body needs.0 -

Advice on how to get through it and you're bummed out you aren't taking in enough calories to workout...
Your eating habits shouldn't be something you have to"get through" and a "cleanse" is really just a marketing gimmick by the diet industry. This is an industry that makes profit by conditioning people to hate themselves, not take care of themselves.
Do what you want, but really just eating at a deficit works. And you could workout, and believe me, exercise makes a difference.0 -

Just for context, when I read your initial comments ("Assuming you're not trying to run marathons on 800 calorie days"), it sounded like your opposition was possibly to intense exercise on 800 calorie days -- not 800 calorie days themselves.0
