    After a quick look at your diary, the few days I saw you blogged, you were under 1200 calories. I'm not a doctor, and don't pretend to be one, but in my opinion, you may be getting headaches because you're not eating enough. Make an appointment with your doctor and talk to him/her about the minimum amount of calories you should be consuming.

    Good luck! ????

    Thank you
    As I am new here I am very bad at adding to my diary. It does not reflect everything I eat.

    I suggest that you make this your number one priority...above any "cleanses" or even above changing your exercise and eating habits. Once you are consistently doing this, you can make the necessary adjustments to reach your goal(s). Until you do this, you're just playing around with what is truly the "secret" to success.

    I am not a doctor but I am a self proclaimed MFP forum expert and if you want cleanse you need to have a liver. A liver is this thing that's inside of you, it was created while you were in your mother womb and it's magical! To make sure it's working right all you need is this other "magical" substance called water. That's right if you drink enough water it will help your liver with cleansing.

    Then maybe you should. Kiddo, be careful when you post topics, there are quite a few people on this site with nothing better to do than put other people down. Add friends that you have things in common with and pick their brains. There are a couple of really good groups on here that I can give you links to. They are interested in educating rather than slamming.

    To you that posted this to her, if you have anything to say to me, feel free to PM. Thanks

    Well, ^this post was mean.

    Of course, so is perpetuating the myth that a juice fast "cleanses" anything at all or is beneficial in any way...

    ...and inviting someone into a group where they are fed bogus information about the topic isn't helpful either.

    Yea, because adding friends who believe in juice fasts and detoxes is a good thing for someone to do.... </sarcasm>

    Plus, people need to just stop with the "people are mean" junk. It gets old.

    Juice fasts and detoxes DO NOT WORK. PERIOD. There is no scientific backing to them. Just a few people who release books and docs so that they can make some money off of people who are too gullible for their own good. The only things these fasts will "cleanse" is the money out of your wallet.

    If the OP has frequent headaches then an elimination diet might be the best idea. However, speak to your doctor before starting this and maybe get a referral to an allergist. Elimination diets need to be done a specific way to make sure you are getting accurate results.

    1,000 cals a day for a week on a juice / smoothie "fast" has a calorie deficit and a high intake of minerals & vitamins. It would be wrong to say there's no science behind that any more than any other calorie deficit method.

    I wasn't speaking for the calorie deficit. I was speaking for the "cleanse" and "toxin" BS.
