      Not advocating the cleanse, but Elvis had about 30 pounds of feces in his impacted colon when he died. Perhaps the OP too, suffers from chronic constipation. :)
      Then a gastroentrologist should be seen and not a sales person of cleanses.

      You're not a motorcycle. No kickstarting required.

      And if your liver and kidneys aren't doing the job, you need a hospital, not a 'cleanse.' :)

      I am taking in a lot of water and eating fruits, veggies, and nuts.

      I am as big as you, almost same weight, same height. I've been taking in and eating more water, fruits, veggies, and nuts for 10 days and only lost 4 lbs lmao. Maybe I didn't lose 20 lbs because I can't give up that pesky meat. Do you really think that will make you lose 20 lbs? lmao

      While "cleanse" and "detox" is a sign that you've ingested much woo, you'll be better once you read and comprehend the links diannethegeek gave you. Welcome and enjoy healthy living.

      I think you would be better of doing a colonic than a detox honestly lol.

      Meh, the poster is just trying to ruffle feathers -- or sell something -- and disguise it as "ooooh what do YOU do for weight loss?"

      A cleanse will just make you lose a lot of water weight and set you up for disappointment when all of it comes right back. There is nothing a cleanse does that your body doesn't do naturally on it's own without causing you all kinds of discomfort.

      I like a good cleanse. That's why I eat a ton of veggies and then drink strong coffee in the morning. :smiley:

      I used a 2 day cleanse it did help me feel better and lose a few lbs but that's just a start, afterwards you must keep eating healthy and exercising.

      all it cleaned out was poop and water,it didnt clean anything else out. you could have done the same thing with fiber supplements

      They were life savers actually.

      I just detox cleansed with Dawn dish soap. It tasted awful, now my stomach feels yucky. And I haven't lost a pound. :/

      Ah yes, the 'I Didn't Rinse Out My Go-Cup Well Enough' cleanse. I do it at least once a month! :poop emoji:

      You don't need a "cleanse." You need to plug all of your info into the "goals" section of MFP, figure out a reasonable daily calorie limit that will put you in a calorie deficit, eat a variety of foods that fit within your daily limit, and start to exercise--even walking can improve your health. By burning more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. Good for you for wanting to get started--wishing you success and good health!

      Well, I say whatever gets you in the right mindset for your lifestyle change is a great way to start. I started that way in January 2015, just had fruits and vegies and the slightest amount of low GI protein for a week. No sugar, No caffeine. It did help me kickstart my changes. Then I added in meats and other things back in but stayed at a deficit. It worked. Best of luck to you in your journey! I wish you a ton of success :)

      now that's just mean. :/

      No, no, not trying to be mean. Elvis did have a severely impacted colon; I was pointing out that people can have medical conditions that can, ere, back them up (in response to a post that the body can't do that). Criminy, I never want to be mean. Mean people suck.
