    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.
    Quit lying. All you did was cut your beard off for that weight loss. ;)

    Since none of them work of course it works as well ;)

    Didn't you read the part where I've lost 30 pounds since the cleanse? Of course it works.

    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?
    He's being sarcastic. Look up tin's "Peep cleanse" and you'll understand.

    It was a very large beard. It would have been very hard to clean if it got something sticky in it. And possibly yellow.

    I remember you touting your fantastic cleanse and how it was a springtime ritual that everyone anticipated with delight. I haven't heard a peep about it this year, and I am quite disappointed.

    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.

    No, I lost 30 pounds since doing the cleanse. I did the cleanse last Easter. The cleanse utilizes monoglucosaccharides to scrub the digestive ducts which allows for fast fat loss. Basic anatomy!

    Macrotoxins and excess vapors. They build up over time and need a cleansing every once in a while.

    I lost 20 lbs in 2 weeks on the Crohn's cleanse. Does that count?

    Ah, yes, the excess vapors! My husband always complains when I decrease my build-up of those.

    I lost 10 pounds in the course of about 3 days on the "Bad Mexican Food" cleanse. Just eat a spoiled shredded chicken burrito and you won't believe the amount of "cleansing" and "detoxing" going on. From both ends. At the same time.

    I guess I'm an underachiever as it was only from one end ;)

    Cleanses are a waste of money. I tried a 3 day juice cleanse just to see what the fuss was about. It was expensive and when I calculated the calories for the day, it was only like 700 cals for the day for all 7 juices which is way under the recommended daily intake for safe weight-loss. The only thing you really need is water to "flush" your liver and body of toxins. I have since discontinued this juice cleanse as I only got it to try it and don't recommend them for anyone.

    This reminds me of that other guy in the sauna thread. More like an automated spambot than an actual human being.

    I was thinking the same thing. Seems like some people are more interested in hearing only affirmations of woo they already believe in rather than the scientifically proven truth. Cognitive dissonance.

    Nope. Waste of time and money. I can't think of a single thing they'd be beneficial for either.
    Detoxes that flush your liver are very beneficial.

    Your liver flushes itself. It even regenerates on it's own!

    Maybe someone who's actually done either one would be better suited to answer the question js.

    Most of the people in your thread have tried silly fads in the past, including "detoxes", with no luck.

    They (we) figured out the hard way that they are useless wastes of time and decided to just eat less food instead.
    That's cool...which one did you try?

    They're all the same. It absolutely doesn't matter. They're all gimmicks.

    Did you read the thread that Diannethegeek posted?
    I did, thanks for asking, I was just really looking for someone who's actually tried them to tell of their experience. But thank you!

    I'm thinking you didn't actually read that thread, or the one posted by Anvilhead, or you wouldn't still be asking for experiences and claiming that anyone who isn't cheering your idea is unsupportive...

    If trying to keep you from wasting money and spending countless unpleasant hours in the bathroom is unsupportive then so be it...

    My take on this thread:

    OP: I'm thinking of jumping out of a plane without a parachute. I'd like to know other people's thoughts/opinions, but only if you've tried it yourself.

    i prepped for a colonoscopy, does that count? Not even fun btw
    Lol I've heard that stuff you have to drink is disgusting

    Oh, it's not the stuff you drink that's disgusting, it's the results that follow. Quick weight loss ;)

    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.

    This. I hard a time finishing the movi-prep, it came out both ends at the same time. It was horrific.

    Go lytely (ironic name) is worse

    My GI MD had me mix an entire bottle of miralax in two bottles of gatorade that I had to drink and then take a handful of ducolax pills too. It didn't taste bad, but holy cow, I lived in the bathroom.

    Hi folks,

    I'm closing this discussion. The OP gets it by now, you don't like cleanses.

    If you aren't trying to be helpful, please move on without posting, or ignore the content.

    Thanks!
