    When I read that, I could only see Calvin eating his Chocolate Frosted Sugar Bombs. Surely this strip inspired you on that one? (and a great sub title it was)

    ("you know why you shake like that? Vitamin deficiency, I'll bet")

    I know the strip, yes! I'm not sure it was a direct inspiration, but it very well could have influenced me on a subconscious level!

    So, I found the following titles in a quick search:

    The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM): Cleansing In The Modern Age; How Peeps Helped Detox My Liver And Kickstarted My Metabolism.

    The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM):The Story Of A Man, A Mallow, And A Dream.

    People keep telling me that I have to detox my body before dieting, or I will loose little to no weight. Is this true?

    It's always funny when people respond as if you just insulted their mom by asking a simple question. If you really want to do something with some type of cleanse just drink 2 cups warm water and 2 tbsp lemon juice right away in the morning and eat as would normally all day, it is a natural "detox" BUT with lemon's other benefits it's worth it. Honestly though it's great even if you decide not to do a detox.

    She asked if it was true that without a detox she wouldn't lose weight. The resounding answer is - no, it's not true. I don't see the problem.

    Name one toxin.

    I don't know about toxins and really I am not concerned of them but beating up on someone for asking a question isn't my game. I just read that the lemon water is used as a detox but personally I drink it for other reasons so I was trying to share a quick low cost option if she decides to still do a "detox". Sorry you got so offended by such a polite response.

    I don't see any beating up. She asked a question, got a definitive answer. People then had fun with the topic. It's not even like the OP came in with her own opinion on detoxes and got shouted down.

    So you know nothing of the subject but state that water with lemon is a good detox?

    I don't know about detoxing. Yes. But I drink lemon water every morning to help with my digestive system and I have read that is supposedly good for helping the digestive tract expel toxins. I was sharing the tip. Go ahead and attack me for it but I never said to detox or that was the only way to lose weight so take it how you please.

    And really what is the harm of drinking lemon water? You act as if I told her to go to the nearest Walmart and buy the most expensive detox crap on the shelf. It's lemon water if anything she gets some Vitamin C

    It is totally unneeded. If her kidneys and liver are working properly there is no need to "detox" and it does absolutely nothing. If they are not working properly you need medical intervention, not some silly "detox plan".

    The point is that the only thing you should be recommending with those ingredients is a nice lemonade. There's no such thing as a detox (except for that one...the name escapes me at the moment) and to just blithely throw that out there is kind of ignorant on a fitness website.

    Except you claimed it was a natural detox. Your own words.

    No harm.

    But don't call it a detox and don't say it will expel toxins - it is not and it will not.


    BTW, no-one acted as though you had insulted their mum to the OP.

    OP: as has already been said - there is no need to 'detox' (there is no-such thing in the context you are referring). Just try to get a good balanced diet (including fruits and veggies), get a decent amount of protein, fats from a mix of sources, and eat to a reasonable deficit. Have treats if you have the calorie allowance for it. Try to be active and if possible get some resistance training in. Be patient.

    Sharing bogus fake information that you read somewhere isn't helpful. Truthful information is helpful. Accurate information is helpful. Politeness should always be helpful. Otherwise you're hurting someone else just to make yourself feel like a "polite" person.

    Do you care more about appearance or reality?

    Unless you've ingested to many pills or other toxin that requires activated charcoal (given by emergency room doctors), going through drug addiction detox or have kidneys that don't work which requires dialysis, you have no toxins which require a "detox", so save your money and eat less calories than you burn.

    I don't think they were beating up on OP, just having a bit of a joke with each other. It's a running thing around here right now.

    My personal opinion (one I believe is shared by many here) is that spreading misinformation is always harmful. The best support you can give a person is the truth. And detoxes aren't it.

    I assure you, we're this a useful thread, my comments would be useful.
