    From observing my friends who "detox" and "cleanse", all I can say is they fall into one of two camps;

    1. My underweight friends who suffer from BDD and went from using "I have a gluten allergy" to "I'm cleansing" as an excuse for their anorexia.

    2. My overweight friends who innocently began "cleansing" after vacations, but are now cleansing weekly. "I'm detoxing Monday" has become little more than an excuse to continue eating a high sugar, nutrient-poor diet.

    Both groups claim they exercise daily. None of their bodies look better. That's all the proof I need...

    My question to you: why are they still your friends? They sound a little toxic to me. I wouldn't want them in my friend pool. I bet that's a whole lot of unnecessary drama for you.

    They're not "toxic" friends. They struggle with weight and/or body image issues - like 80% of the other women I know. My point is, from observing both underweight and overweight friends, "cleanses" are an all-around ineffective way to transform your body.

    At least have a sense of purpose- are you old enough to need a colonoscopy?
