Most effective cleanse?

Not 100% on what you mean by 'cleanse' but if you drink lots of water it will flush out the toxins in your body naturally. If you don't like water you could try adding some lemon to make it taste nice.

Sugar free gummy bears by Harino. Seriously, look at the reviews on Amazon. Just one small handful needed. :drinker:

I've read many times on MFP that only water is water. If you add lemon to it, you have lemonade and not water...so it doesn't count.

We are kind of saying the same thing I guess. The website I gave promotes getting all your nutrients from juice for awhile, or just incorporating juice into what you already eat. Wouldn't that count as nutrient rich foods? I'm not sure if it's considered a cleanse or not - looks like there may be different definitions for cleanses anyway - but I think it's definitely worth a try. More for general health than for weight loss though.

Not really. I don't feel adding juice to the diet is detrimental (although one would still have to count it's calories), however getting ALL one's nutrients from it for awhile is since protein and fat are essentials and to intake enough would definitely put one way over on carbs to suffice.

My colonoscopy prep was quite the experience. Also highly effective. Though the name "GoLytely" seems to be a little misleading... You've been warned.

What if I drink the lemon juice and the water separately?

Smoked salmon past its use by date is also an excellent option. It will really cleanse your digestive system, and depending on your level of dehydration at the end can also be somewhat of a spiritual experience. Nothing like a bit of food poisoning every now and then to override the job that your bowels and liver can do perfectly well on their own.

Honestly you can probably do with out a lot of fat for a week or two, but there are fruits and veggies that have it if you're worried about it. Veggies have protein - lots of it. I try to follow plant based, and the one thing I haven't had a problem with is getting enough protein. If you're going to do a juice cleanse it takes a lot of planning to make sure you're going to get the proper nutrients, but that's true of any diet. Really, if I was doing a juice cleanse I wouldn't worry about counting my calories. But that's up to each individual person. If they're just incorporating juice into their diet they should probably count calories then. Also, I've been steadily losing weight for weeks and I always go way over on my carbs. I know cutting down on carbs isn't all about just weight loss, but as long as I'm getting my carbs from fuits, veggies, grains, or nuts I don't really worry about going over the recommended amount I'm supposed to have.

Not disputing if you can get fat and protein from it. I implied if one is trying to meet macronutrient profiles for whatever their needed values are, that juice alone may add more calories than they need to.

If you're going to do a juice cleanse it takes a lot of planning to make sure you're going to get the proper nutrients, but that's true of any diet.

Not really. I can just grab something log it and see what my macro/micro nutrients are that were fulfilled. Now how much of that would I have to drink to fulfill what I need? Let's see: for protein I take in about 195g a day. I like spinach so let's look at how much I'd have to consume to meet it. At 5.3g per cup that's about 37 cups of spinach I'd have to juice. That's quite a bit. And that would probably give me several trips to the bathroom too.

Carbs aren't bad. Over consumption of them (calorie wise) is the concern. Let's be honest here, anyone doing a juice "cleanse" isn't probably intaking anymore than about 1200 calories a day. For the general population, that would result in weight loss. It's still about calories in/out.
Nutrition isn't just about fruit and vegetables. If your stance that it's just about being meatless and that's why you stand behind juicing, then your view is more subjective than objective. As a professional in the business, I don't make it subjective. I look at actual peer reviewed research and use those conclusions to help people decide how they want to approach weight loss and health.

My stance isn't about being meatless at all, my stance is that juicing is a viable choice for a cleanse, and it is possible to get all the nutrients one needs from it. It IS true that you have to plan your diet (I'm using diet as in what a person habitually eats, not as in restriction of foods to lose weight) out to make sure you're getting your nutrients - I don't see how you can argue with that, but whatever. I don't have little fancy titles in bold under my comments on here, and I never studied nutrition at a University, but I'm subjectively researching my food choices every day.

Time out.

Can someone remind me what it is a cleanse purports to cleanse?

Yeah, I know, "toxins"...

...but can someone name even ONE of these toxins that are cleansed by a cleanse that aren't otherwise cleansed by the body regardless?

Just one? Please?

Thanks.
