The Cleanse
Replies

OP asked people about the benefits of cleanses, but when they didn't answer the way she wanted to, suddenly she becomes an "expert" on the topic.
I smell that smelly smell that smells smelly.0 -
Well the thing is it doesn't cleanse anything. Your liver and kidneys clean your blood. You'll lose water temporarily, then gain it right back when you resume eating. It basically just isn't useful.0

OP: Lots and lots of poop. That is the only way you're going to see the scale move. /thread0

Whenever I think of "cleanse," I just picture people drinking this crap and getting explosive in the bathroom.0

Cleanse and detoxing are nonsense. Don't waste your time0

No they don't. There are numerous studies that describe how difficult it is to change your gut microflora. Some people do change it but they basically have to clear it out and get a fecal transplant to add new bacteria back in.
I pray to the powers that be every day that I never have to get something called a "fecal transplant."
Can I somehow make money being a fecal donor? I mean, I'm aware they kinda lab it up a bit before the implant, but I can donate at least once a day, right?0 -

1. cleanses dont cost anything.
2. you can loose weight. (or gain, if that is your goal)
So no one here has had success? Okay.
Guess what, a lot of people got fat from
doing P90X. lol
again, cleanses have absolutely nothing to do with gaining or losing weight, which is a function of calorie intake, CICO.
Okay. Fine.
Calorie intake is not the defining factor for weight gain or loss. One's
metabolism, rather how a person processes & absorbs fats, carbs, sugars, everything, is the defining factor and this is greatly attributed to the state of your individual gastro-intestinal tract. In fact, scientist within GI Departments at some of our leading institutions, (Cleveland Clinic is one
example) are now discovering diverse genetic disparities across the board with gluten intolerance, lactose intolerance, various mild allergies, inabilities to process B12 all causes by the inherited bacterial set of individual intestinal tracts. The rise of antibiotic use attributed to the rise in acid reflux in the past few decades and the need to use probiotics to no avail. In conclusion, a diet for one person may not work for another, due to their bacterial fauna in their gut. Cleanses can correct this. Blood type also plays into the biological evolutions of homo sapiens from our paleolithic diets of our hunter/gatherer ancestors (who consist of 90% of our human history), the day we began cooking our meat which resulted in making humans brains bigger, the advent of agricultural developments from wheat & grain to the green movement that resulted in a boom just before the dust bowl, to the genetically modified foods of today. Nutrition isnt like the science of psychology, with a bunch of crackpot behavioral scientist asking how you "feel." Nutrition is a growing and always evolving field of study. We used to give babies baby formula and the babies would die because we didnt know all the essential nutrients for their development. Its a work in progress.
Traditionally, when you copy & paste something, it's considered appropriate to give the original author credit.
And pretty much all of the above is horse hockey.
This gets flagged. MFP forums always amaze me.
Because it made the OP feel funny.
Or she's offended by the word hockey. My apologies to Canadians everywhere.
Miss Canada is very angry with you.

I'm thinking about doing a cleanse for a few days. What are the benefits? How does that work? And wouldnt I just gain the weight right back?
No need. The inside of your body is not dirty.
The only benefit is to the person selling the cleanse.
Yep, you'd lose water weight, which would come back once you started eating normally again.
Save your......

Um, it works by you getting into the shower & rubbing soap all over your skin.lorenswan wrote:I'm thinking about doing a cleanse for a few days.

Benefits: smell better, feel better, more socially acceptable.
Other than that, any "cleanse" or "detox" is woo. Avoid it.
You don't need to clean out your GI system unless you're scheduled for a colonoscopy tomorrow.
There are no "toxins" which accumulate in the body that you can do _anything_ about by drinking hot lemonaide
with hot pepper & maple syrup, or lots of juice (high-calorie, BTW), or whatever other crazy scheme you've seen.0 -
OP - Not sure what these chucklef***s have been saying about cleansing, but I find it best to use a sterilized alcohol solution and, of course, peeps to take advantage of the monsoglucosaccharides.
