OP please read this thread before doing the same damage to yourself that this person did

While I agree with everyone here that the cleanse isn't necessarily healthy, I actually enjoy it as a jump start. I always feel the need to do something drastic in order to get myself motivated.
My only tip is be careful when going back to eating solids as you can gain any lost weight back very quickly (and then some), and if you feel light headed during the cleanse, EAT. Don't torture yourself with it.

no such think as "jump starting' weight loss..

do you really think that your metabolism is like a car battery?

No. Weight loss does not need a jump start.

Thank you.......I tried arguing this point with my sister, who would not hear it.
She was thoroughly convinced that before she could actually get her butt off the couch to start working out, she needed to do a cleanse.

Face palms ensued.......

NO.You're not 'cleansing' anything.

Why would you want to screw up your body's natural PH by doing a salt flush?

Seems counter-productive to me.

In...

There's too many rude, arrogant people here for my to reply to all of them separately. People don't post here to get attacked. You're not helping anyone.

I never said it would guarantee results, that it was healthy, a miracle, etc. I like how it makes me feel, so I consider it a jump start. I'm like this with all aspects of my life, not just weight loss. If I want to do something, I have to start with something dramatic, as 'silly' as it may seem.

Well, she's definitely not exercising.

I don't know how many times I have to say this.. I like how I feel when I do it, I find the feeling motivating. It jumpstarts my MIND.

This post is pretty dramatic.

It doesn't, and she states so. She "considers" it a jump start, and at least she concedes that it's "silly".
I guess if it psychologically prepares you for the next step and gets you motivated, more power to you.

As silly as it may seem.... gotcha.

If you want to do a cleanse you can, however a cleanse is really supposed to be a supplementation. If you cleanse in a healthy way you will still eat food as well. You can check out some at health food stores or ask a doctor what they recommend. It's usually a supplement you mix in water. You drink it throughout the day in addition to eating clean.

Anything where you don't eat at all and only drink something is not healthy.

But you can do what you want to do, it's your body.

OP....salt is good for our bodies remember that. If you are worried about too much salt. eat less processed foods or fast foods....make more home made foods. Dont add any extra salt to your meals, add more spices that taste better....Sweat sweat and more sweat and oh yea water.Thatll help get rid of any excess salt in your system

ohhhhhhh you meant mental jumpstarting and not metabolism jumpstarting....now everything is clear...

my apologies for correcting the record in a mean and rude manner...
