    Beachbody has a new 3 day Refresh cleanse. It is two different shakes during the day then it gives you specific foods you can eat for dinner (comes with recipes that i have heard are really good). I have seen lots of friends use it with good results. They said they weren't hungry during it either. I think I am going to try in soon!!

    What makes this cleanse different from those the OP addresses?

    Hello everyone,

    I want to lose 35 lbs by December of this year so that I can start my last semester of college off right in January!!! I need tips on what cleansers or anything that some of you have used to help jump start your weight loss. I have lost 21 lbs in about 8 or 9 months ( yea I know that is not much in that amount of time). But I was to get down to 155 even though 147 is the weight recommended for my height that is just too small for my body type. I will be doing some weight lifting during this as well. So any tips will help!!!

    THANKS :smile:

    Necessary?

    I think it depends on context. Almost certainly not "necessary" for most people in most situations.

    I think the problem lies more with reading comprehension.

    Indeed. I don't expect people to read every post in a thread before commenting, but so many clearly aren't even bother to read the first post. That's just lazy.

    By highlighting the need for people to read what the OP linked would be helpful. Oh, I just did :bigsmile:

    Well...if they are looking for a cleanse you would kind of expect them to actually read the OP, which they are obviously not.

    Then they need to actually read what was posted and not just see the word CLEANSE and latch onto it.
    This is just a common issue on the boards. People seem to have a TL, DR mentality and just see what they want to see, or read a title and not the actual post. The information provided is a great read and I totally agree with it and bookmarked the links.

    There was another post in Motivation and Support where a lady posted that she had just ended an abusive relationship. It was a well written post about how she had been the one abusing herself with a bad attitude, calling herself names, and just thinking really badly of herself. A lot of people didn't read it, just posted that they also left spouses who were abusive, or begging her to leave the guy before he really hurt her.

    I guess I was just trying to point out that if the title had stated why detox/cleanses are not effective, or something along those lines, people probably wouldn't have come in thinking that this was the place to go to find a good cleanse.

    My belief is that they would be less likely to read the post if they new it was a post trying to convince them that their previously held idea was wrong. So then they have even less change to see information that conflicts with their view.

    And while I haven't looked at every reply, there is this:
    I am thrilled to find this post! I was looking into doing a cleanse... so glad I read this first!

    Which would seem to indicate that at least some people are coming in here and then learning that they shouldn't do this.

    Wow....I think we might need a do over here. One with a title that doesn't sound like its encouraging people to come here looking for a cleanse.

    Did it occur to you that perhaps the people looking for a cleanse are the people that need to see the information I've provided?
    Okay...wow....did it occur to you that a lot of people are assuming that this is the place to come if you want a cleanse? They are not actually reading what you posted.

    Then they need to actually read what was posted and not just see the word CLEANSE and latch onto it.
    This is just a common issue on the boards. People seem to have a TL, DR mentality and just see what they want to see, or read a title and not the actual post. The information provided is a great read and I totally agree with it and bookmarked the links.

    There was another post in Motivation and Support where a lady posted that she had just ended an abusive relationship. It was a well written post about how she had been the one abusing herself with a bad attitude, calling herself names, and just thinking really badly of herself. A lot of people didn't read it, just posted that they also left spouses who were abusive, or begging her to leave the guy before he really hurt her.

    I guess I was just trying to point out that if the title had stated why detox/cleanses are not effective, or something along those lines, people probably wouldn't have come in thinking that this was the place to go to find a good cleanse.


    My belief is that they would be less likely to read the post if they new it was a post trying to convince them that their previously held idea was wrong. So then they have even less change to see information that conflicts with their view.

    And while I haven't looked at every reply, there is this:
    I am thrilled to find this post! I was looking into doing a cleanse... so glad I read this first!

    Which would seem to indicate that at least some people are coming in here and then learning that they shouldn't do this.
    There are also, hopefully, those thinking about cleanses/detoxes that read this and changed their mind, but maybe just don't post on the boards.
