Detox and cleanse?

I encourage you to do the cleanse and detox of your choice and then come back and tell us exactly what it "flushed" or "cleansed" or "detoxed" based on medical labwork, and how much weight you lost and kept off several months later, NOT COUNTING any weight lost from simply counting calories.0

I lost about 12lbs on a 10 day detox. It worked for me and it wasn't expensive.0

No the stuff you drink is disgusting too. It's hard to get down. Funny thing is that my colonoscopies usually happen when I am flaring bad and already going 30+ times a day so the prep was just an average day for me.0 -

This. I hard a time finishing the movi-prep, it came out both ends at the same time. It was horrific.0 -
*sigh* Say you need leeches to cleanse the bad blood, and people will find it ridiculous. Say you need supplements or special diets to cleanse the toxins by pooping, and people want to sign up.
It shouldn't be this hard to convince people that weight loss through pooping, peeing, and insufficient food is bad. It really shouldn't.0 -

Go lytely (ironic name) is worse0 -
I did movi-prep and I didn't find it as bad as I expected. Of course, I was on a soft diet for about 32hrs prior to starting the prep...0

BTW looking to add more encouraging and motivational friends!
Nope, and they are most certainly not beneficial in other ways.
They are utterly and completely useless.
And yes, I have tried them. Gimmicks, useless gimmicks that make one very hangry.

No such thing. Your liver is a filter. You don't "clean" it. It "cleans" you. If it was dysfunctional, then drinking or consuming a product orally isn't going to fix it. It's hype pseudoscience by sellers of product.mel_the_shell wrote: »
Detoxes that flush your liver are very beneficial.Ready2Rock206 wrote: »Nope. Waste of time and money. I can't think of a single thing they'd be beneficial for either.

No because if they really understood physiology, then would have never embarked on doing them in the first place. People that do them will give you anecdotes..............which really aren't good evidence.mel_the_shell wrote: »Maybe someone who's actually done either one would be better suited to answer the question js.

I did a 10 day cleanse almost a year ago and I've lost 30 pounds since then. It was a pretty rigorous cleanse and you have to follow it very closely to see the results, but I would highly recommend it. In my opinion, it works just as well, if not better, than all the other cleanses and detoxes out there.0

Since none of them work of course it works as well 0 -

Didn't you read the part where I've lost 30 pounds since the cleanse? Of course it works.0 -
So you lost 30 pounds in 10 days? You statement that you've lost 30 pounds since the cleanse means nothing. You've lost weight because you've eaten fewer calories than you burned, not because of the cleanse.0

Quit lying. All you did was cut your beard off for that weight loss.tincanonastring wrote: »I did a 10 day cleanse almost a year ago and I've lost 30 pounds since then.

That's because you are eating less than you burn. It has nothing to do with the cleanse. What did you cleanse yourself of anyways?0
