in Health and Weight Loss
So I keep hearing about juice cleanses and how great they are, I am told I would lose weight even faster if I did one. I think I'm doing pretty well and I find it hard to believe they are healthy not to mention a set up for failure if done with a huge goal in mind and if you are considering doing it for months. Is there something I'm missing?

    Do not do it for months... It's meant to be a short-term thing.

    If you've successfully lost 44 lbs, why do this now?

    Just another fad. Keep doing what you're doing, you're not missing anything.

    My point exactly. I just keep hearing about how it's such a great thing but I know it's not and I know if I do this the healthy way it may take longer but in the long run it will likely stay off since I have changed my mind set, you can't drink juice forever. Just wanted to make sure I wasn't alone. :drinker:

    Go with your gut instinct. It's pretty much a waste of time.

    You've lost 44 pounds and now you're going to consider something like a cleanse? Keep doing what you're doing. It's working.

    Don't torture yourself with it. Any weight lost will be gained back once normal eating resumes,

    I would NEVER do it, I think it would back fire for me because I would fail and I would become frustrated plus I am not a lover of any juice, I water down the small amounts I do drink now.

    Someone tried to compare another persons weight loss to mine after they lost a few pounds in a few weeks, I may or may not have told them that it was an insult :devil:

    When I hear the word cleanse, I think of soap and water. Sorry for being a SA but couldn't resist. :bigsmile:

    OP, glad to see you are being smart with how you are taking your journey. Good job with what you are doing. Stay the course.

    You're not missing anything. Cleanses are made to separate you from your money.
