dr oz 3 day detox cleanse

margaretturk

Your body has a liver and kidneys to de-tox. Yes, we overload their capacity with environmental toxins, stress, and all the highly processed food we put in our bodies, which they are not designed to process. So eat real, wholesome food in moderation and move more. Consistency and sanity win the race over fads and quick fixes, every time.

I agree!

I've seen a pin on Pinterest circulating of this honey, lemon, cinnamon Dr OZ cleanse. It claims that you can lose up to 20lbs in 10 days. :laugh: I'm am trying for the life of me to see how any sane person could believe that... :noway:

It doesn't do squat for "detoxing" or weight loss, but it is really tasty. So it has that going for it, I guess.

It's bogus. They lose water (and maybe muscle) weight, and then will gain it all back in a couple of days.

And if Dr. Oz promotes it, you know it's a scam.

^ This. Dr. Oz is a quack.

Only in terms of his Oprah/weightloss stuff. He's still one of the world's preeminent heart surgeons.

I think that's one of the saddest things, that this brilliant, talented surgeon has destroyed his professional reputation by claiming to be an "expert" on things he knows nothing about. But he's raking in the money, so I can't really be too sad.

A detox is not a purchased product, it is a time period where one stops their regular diet to let the body begin repairing the issue causing problems. Juicing and fasting allows for the body to receive nutrients and proper rest so it doesn't need to worry about heavy foods needing processing. That's a detox. I don't care for what Dr. Oz is pushing. Go buy greens, vegetables, and fruits then watch how well your body responds.

Every time someone mentions detox or cleanse, an extremely polarized discussion develops. I believe that a detox or cleanse can have benefit, however. But please read my whole post before you latch on to that and annihilate me.

A detox is nothing more than a short term VLCD. The pushers of detoxes want you to believe that their product or method has some extraordinary properties that will somehow leave your body in a better metabolic state or free of undefined toxins, and this is simply untrue. A trendy detox and a 24-hour fast essentially accomplish the same thing - they deplete glycogen and can have a diuretic effect. They're not fixing anything metabolically or chemically in your body because its unlikely that anything needs fixing. (and if something DOES need fixing, consult your doctor, not the internet)

Contrary to what the vehemently anti-detox crowd will purport, it's not going to harm you either.

Where a detox or cleanse can add value is in the mental game of weight loss. Some people will use a detox to draw a line in the sand, or reap the mental benefit of seeing the scale move a little bit. If this is something that will give you the energy and focus you need to move forward with a sane nutrition plan, it's done some good.

Detoxes and Cleanses are placebos, nothing more. Just don't misinterpret what the detox or cleanse is ACTUALLY accomplishing.

No one has said anything about being dangerous...unless people are looking to do that alcohol enema or anything similar, or extend the said "detox" or "cleanse" and then entering eating disorder areas.

But when your body has it's own ability to clean itself, there is no point in spending and wasting money on the books and materials for the detox when in reality it does nothing.

Further more, the VLCD period in the detox that leads to the rapid weight loss can actually be harmful to the person trying to lose weight, because once they are done and the body puts back on the weight by refilling glycogen, the person is upset because the weight is back. Which that can set them up for just giving up because it can lead to a failure attitude.

Provide clinical proof that it gives your organs a rest please. Because you obviously don't know how your body anatomy works.

So you don't need to get rid of crap?? I know almost every natural health page talks about how we need detoxies.

That's because they want to sell your products to "cleanse" and "detox" your body. 21st century snake oil......

Timely.......this was on CBC's Marketplace last week:

Dr Oz is a doctor like I am a brain surgeon.

Skip this and just do coffee enemas. The health perks are the same plus they're way more fun!

I know. That's why I said pushers, not sellers, and why I said product OR method. Words. They mean things.

A fair point which I had not considered.

Detoxing is a good thing to do. Yes your kidneys, liver, and skin are detoxifying organs but the reason for a detox is to give these organs a break and not have to focus on anything else but the impurities already in your body. Detoxing is even more necessary if you have had a history of bad eating and have medical conditions such as being over weight or even the common cold.

So much fail in just one paragraph! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

I get the sense (from your other threads) that you're maybe not ready to do this.
But when you are, here's the thread again:

http://www.myfitnesspal.com/topics/show/1080242-a-guide-to-get-you-started-on-your-path-to-sexypants

Read it, and try starting there. You'll see so much more success than you will with cleanses, VLCDs, and 1200 calorie diets (at your height/weight/age).

Trust.

I've been doing the non-juice detox since January 2. It's just clean eating - no processed foods. I feel great and not hungry. We're friends so you can see my diary. I don't go much for drinking my meals although before this clean eating started, if I was too busy for lunch I would have a slim fast. But I was hungry. Good luck to ya whatever you choose! :flowerforyou:

It's bogus. They lose water (and maybe muscle) weight, and then will gain it all back in a couple of days.

And if Dr. Oz promotes it, you know it's a scam.

^ This. Dr. Oz is a quack.

Only in terms of his Oprah/weightloss stuff. He's still one of the world's preeminent heart surgeons.

Not anymore. He's pretty much been written off by the medical community.

He does surgery only one day a week, and every cardiac surgeon I know (I work with them, so yes, I do know a few) says that low frequency is not enough to keep you at your best form. Two days a week is the minimum they suggest, and they'd prefer cardiac surgeons work in the OR 3-4 days a week.

The fact that he's a world-leading heart surgeon (debatable) should tell you that he is more than likely not an expert in diet & nutrition. Just because someone is a doctor doesn't mean they know everything about anything medical/health related ever.

Does your body detox all the chemicals in your natural, fruit and veggie detox?

I have patients ask me all the time about colon cleansing, detoxing, fasting - most of these promoted by the great OZ. It may make you feel good at the time, but it is not healthy. Your body does not need a "break" from toxins and if you are truly concerned about toxins eat organic. By avoiding processed foods as these detoxing schemes push you will automatically feel better because you are eating whole foods, not chemicals with some food products added.

Any crap you see on TV is just that, so in addition to avoiding the toxins in your food avoid the toxins in your environment and stop believing the junk on TV. Eat healthy, don't buy prepackaged/processed foods, drink water and exercise. Try it for 2 weeks and I guarantee you will feel better (and lose weight). (WOW now I think I could do Dr. OZ's job...LOL)
