Has anyone tried those juice diet detoxes?

Do you feel it was or is all a sham or did it generally do some justice? I heard that day 3 of the juice cleanse diet you start feeling weak, which for me would be unacceptable since I do a lot of heavy work and need my strength. Although I do want to do some sort of detox thing, any recommendations? Ty Ty

Just eat food.
Body detoxes itself when you poop and pee.0 -
Just drink plenty of water and get enough fibre. That is all the detox you need!0

Why do you think you need to "detox"?
Your liver and kidneys already do an admirable job of that and, if you've been exposed to environmental toxins or heavy metals juicing is not going to help in the slightest.
Unfortunately "cleanse" and "detox" are a couple of meaningless words bandied about by the so-called diet industry as they sound scientific and healthy.
Eat a well balanced diet, drink water, make sure you're getting enough fibre and you'll be fine.0 -
It will certainly help you get toned0

sweet that's what I need0

I like to detox, but don't like to do it for more than one and a half days at the most, usually one day only. When I do, I will drink juice drinks for breakfast and lunch, plus eat grapes, then have a regular light dinner (like steamed fish and vegetables). Or I do the leek soup fast, eating leek soup broth and leeks all day, plus a light dinner. You need to drink a lot of water too.
What it is is light food that doesn't take much to digest and that are slightly diuretic (grapes and leeks), then the water to flush stuff through.
I personally would never do this for more than a short stint once in awhile as I don't eat that bad. But if I wanted to do it longer, it would only be under the care of a doctor.0 -

Honestly, probably nothing. They just call it detox. Really I'm just giving my system a rest from heavy digestion and a lot of extra water to flush stuff through. I feel very energized after, although if I did it for longer, I think the energetic effects would be depleted.0 -

I am not doing a juice detox or juice diet, but I did buy a juicer last weekend. (The Breville Elite Juice Fountain - a splurge, but I love it!) We purchased the juicer mainly because my husband has the lapband and cannot eat solid food in the morning. I normally juice for him in the morning and add the leftover juice to my morning protein shake. Sometimes I make a juice as a snack, but I do not replace meals with juice. The juice has added an energy boost to my morning and I feel so much more alert.
A few things I read about juicing:
1. You are stripping the fiber from the fruits and vegetables so it is important to eat other sources of fiber when you are juicing.
2. Liquids don't keep our bodies as full as regular food since our bodies break down whole foods more slowly.
3. If you are juicing to lose weight you should be juicing more vegetables than fruit since fruit has a lot of sugar and is higher in calories.
I've noticed certain items don't juice well because they are not dense in water. Items like kale and spinach work better in the blender with my protein shake and I don't lose the fiber as I do with the juicer.
Final thoughts: I see the benefits of juicing, but I can't see this as a means of a long term weightloss solution.0 -

I'm not trying to be mean here or anything but what exactly are you eating that you think your digestive system needs a rest from? If your body needs a rest from digesting food which is a basic function then something is very wrong with either your body or what you're eating...0 -

Well kind of. I guess I should further clarify. I agree with the people that are writing our body (liver and kidneys) are what naturally 'detox' things. When doing a light 'detox', my personal opinion is the goal is to not put extra stressors on them by eating light easily or already digested foods, like liquid juice nutrients, then drinking a ton of water to help flush. You're basically just letting your body do its job that it already does, but you are giving it a day's break.
I also fast for a day once a year, but that is for religious reasons. :-p0 -
I did and they made me sick. I was dizzy and coulnt work. It was horrible. But now I just eat clean.0

Hey now, if I want to eat this way (and there is nothing wrong with drinking healthy juice drinks for breakfast and lunch and having a light dinner) whether you call it 'detox' or what you ate that day. But if I like to do that even once a month, it's really none of your business. And, it's none of your business what I'm eating! I'm answering an inquiry by the op, not you.
I'm really surprised by these boards and how rude and aggressive some people are. I'm really getting sick of it.
This thread is tame compared to the hundreds of others about detox. Nobody is being rude and aggressive, but simply trying to clarify that the body does a great job all by itself and is a darn good machine. Most of the time, it is the ones accusing others of being rude and aggressive that end up throwing the first punch. Your response was a prime example. :flowerforyou:0 -

If my finding your response to me, which I did, rude and agressive, was me 'throwing the first punch', you are entitled to your opinion.
I personally don't feel comfortable with the way people respond here. Like you said, if this was 'tame', I'm done with posting. People are simply entitled to have different opinions. And I really didn't say anything to be attacked for or to ask me 'what are you eating' that needs help with digestion. Quite frankly, I'm not here to help you figure out that there can be ways to improve digestion, or that some things take longer to digest, or anything else.
I get that there is a difference of opinion on issues, but what irks me is the attitude of forcing an opinion on someone else. I would no more tell someone else they should detox than I would expect them to make fun of my light days of, yes I call it 'detox' when it makes me feel good and brings me energy.
I did find your response rude and agressive. There was no reason to make fun of my choices or ask me what I eat.
...oh yea, or tell me something is wrong with my body.

2. I never asked for help on how to improve digestion.
3. Nobody was giving you attitude.

See, now at least you are trying to have a normal discussion on the issues without personal attacks. Thank you for that.
I do agree with you on pro biotics. Very good for you! And probably is a better way. But I was trying to answer the op's question and my way of doing my light days, I think you would agree, maybe not, is a light stressor on the body. I just like these light days once in awhile. I don't do it to lose weight, I just feel a little refreshed for eating light one day. I guess we all have our quirks. But if the op is interested in a light way to do it, I've given her something to think about rather than a three day or longer heavy cleanse.0 -

If you want to tell me you didn't mean to make me feel that way, that is one thing. It is quite another to tell me I cannot feel I was attacked, or made fun, or felt like you were being rude and aggressive. I did feel that way, and your invalidating it telling me I should not feel that way does not change it. And your number six is over the top.

I get that there is a difference of opinion on issues, but what irks me is the attitude of forcing an opinion on someone else. I would no more tell someone else they should detox than I would expect them to make fun of my light days of, yes I call it 'detox' when it makes me feel good and brings me energy.
I did find your response rude and agressive. There was no reason to make fun of my choices or ask me what I eat.
...oh yea, or tell me something is wrong with my body.
1. You were not attacked.
2. I never asked for help on how to improve digestion.
3. Nobody was giving you attitude.
4. Nobody was forcing an opinion on you.
5. Nobody was making fun of you.
6. Since you feel so strongly that people were being rude and aggressive, than yes, it may be a good idea to stay off public internet forums.
If you want to tell me you didn't mean to make me feel that way, that is one thing. It is quite another to tell me I cannot feel I was attacked, or made fun, or felt like you were being rude and aggressive. I did feel that way, and your invalidating it telling me I should not feel that way does not change it. And your number six is over the top.
Thanks for your opinions.
I have to say that if that one, non snarky simply question offended you then you are way, waaaaay too sensitive.0 -
Has anyone tried those juice diet detoxes?
Yes...when I was young (to MFP) and dumb and just getting started. It's a bunch of bull****...save your money. It's just snake oil. Eat food...make better overall nutritional decisions...indulge in some junk now and then...get your fitness on...enjoy your success.
Your body detoxes itself daily all by itself...it's a sham.0
