    My general motto is that if it says diet, don't do it. :tongue:

    Never heard of this one, but a quick Google of "clean gut diet" got me several results, many with the words "cleanse and "detox" attached to them. :noway: More red flags for me. Not sure if what you're doing is considered a cleanse or detox, or just a diet, some sort of "jumpstart"?

    When I see the words clean gut I think of colonoscopy prep, which I've not yet had the pleasure of going through, but have seen my poor hubby go through it many times while he was dealing with illness. Not fun.

    I've had my best success for about two years now by eating between my BMR and my TDEE. No eliminated foods, no quick fixes, no drastic calorie cuts. True lifestyle change, losing the fat and keeping it off, and it's sustainable, not temporary. I still enjoy all the foods I love, no stress through holidays, birthdays, vacations - I know calorie "boundaries" and stay with in them - most of the time - even a day over my TDEE here and there doesn't derail my progress.

    I have no idea what it is but it sounds horrifying. I'm imagining a lot of time in the bathroom.... :sick:

    No way. I'll save my money,

    I see you buy products like the other magic diets out there.

    And, I have had a colonoscopy and the prep is terrible.

    There's nothing that the Clean Gut Diet will bring you that can't be achieved by eating a balanced diet and exercising.

    I eat plenty of roughage and whole grains! My colon is as clean as a whistle! I'd post the pic but I haven't bothered with pics here. You are wasting your money and suffering needlessly. :bigsmile:
