    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.

    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.
    800 calorie days and smoothie cleanses.... I have no words
    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.
    Do you understand the words "800 calories"? You said it, but do you understand that is not a healthy intake for an adult human being of any size?
    So saying "Assuming you're not eating 800 calories" is construed as advocating eating 800 calories?

    I love this place. Here, let's get really controversial...

    600 calories!

    400 calories!

    12 calories!

    OMG! Look at me advocating starvation! :D

    This is reductio ad absurdum on your part. As janejellyroll pointed out, what you wrote earlier was not taking issue with the low calories, it took issue with "trying to run a marathon" on low calories. Of course, even that post involved you taking things to extremes.

    The example was meant to show two extremes... running a marathon... 800 calories.

    As in lifting a weight... drinking smoothies...

    Not really the same.

    As in, I'm pretty sure you can lift a weight without having had a non-liquid meal.

    Smoothies are delicious, but your body is already self cleansing so you don't need a cleanse. As long as your kidneys and liver are fully functional, you're good to go.

    10 days is a long one. I only did a 3 day because I was trying to isolate food allergies. It really is a mental block you have to get over. I was amazed by day 3 how much energy I had and how NOT hungry I was. Feel free to friend me if you are looking for some support :)
