Dr. OZ Detox

aem91409

I am planning to do the Dr. Oz 3 day smoothie detox next week. I have never done a detox before, but I have been feeling tired and just nasty lately and I feel like a detox is my best solution. I don't really want to got to GNC to get a detox, I'd rather just do the smoothie one because then I know what I'm putting into my body.
I have read some reviews on it and a lot of people are saying that they lost around 4 pounds while doing it. Is that something that I'm going to gain back right away? Or if I continue with my working out and calorie counting will it stay off? I weigh myself every Friday morning, and I am at a loss of 12 pounds and I feel like if I lost those 4 and gained them back right away that would be very discouraging to me and I don't want to mess up my roll that I'm on, because I'm feeling pretty good!
Also, does anyone disagree with the smoothie detox and recommend something from GNC?
Thanks :]

Confused.... which of the above is accurate? IMO, cleanses are unnecessary. As the other poster said, eat at a deficit.

I am feeling good about my weight loss, considering this is the first time I've ever tried to lose weight and it seems to be going quite well.
And by I'm feeling nasty, I mean I just feel like I ate too unhealthy over the Easter holiday and started to lose my motivation and am just exhausted all the time.

I lost all respect for that man and will not be wasting my electricity on him.

^^ That sounds psychological rather than biological. Try to avoid feeling guilty about eating food, especially if you've recently had a holiday feast. Motivation comes from within, not from a beverage or a pill.

Detoxes are BS. Dr. Oz is a quack when it comes to nutrition and diet.

Just eat more whole foods (since they are nutrient dense) and you'll feel better.

Well okay, you all have changed my mind! Kind of made me feel stupid for just asking question, but oh well I guess.
Thanks...

I mainly use my kidneys and liver for detox. However, my intestines, lungs, skin, and lymphatic system also chip in.

Oh for god's sake, don't listen to Dr Oz. You don't need a detox.

I fundamentally disagree.

Next week Dr Oz will probably promote the candy bar diet.

eat a candy bar, any candy bar, 3 times a day and you will lose weight!!

You would lose a ton of weight on that diet.

Actually you should feel pretty good. You're actually getting CORRECT information rather than BS from bad sources. Trust me when I say that I as a trainer (in the beginning of my career) used to believe all that ****. Then I actually started researching credible peer reviewed scientific studies on proposed programs, philosophies, etc.
Don't take it personal. Just look at it as a learning step.

I don't typically believe in "detoxes", and I really don't trust anything Dr. Oz has to say. That being said, some people DO need help in detoxing their body. For instance, my dad's lymphatic system has all but shut off on him--his immune system has attacked his detox capabilities. I know this is an extreme case, but people like this do exist.

In conclusion (since I sound like I'm just spouting extraneous info), some people do very well with detoxes, but they should always be done under the supervision of your doctor, or better yet, your doctor AND a certified nutritionist.

i missed a good day here on MFP - Dr Oz questions and calorie is a calorie questions. The replies are endless. Sigh - i need a job thats less busy so i can be on here more for the entertainment value. Dr Oz is useless. Snake oil for sale!

Is this the one you refer to?



Click the picture link if it does not show.....if that's it.....I've heard people do it as a "jump start" or "get back on track" into a lifestyle change.....but the Detox alone isn't gonna cause any major changes......I will worn you, the couple people I heard that did it, did get really tired during it.....since you are restricted to juice/liquids only......your energy goes down.....then its up to you, after the detox, to jump back into the game......start back slowly though.....don't overgorge at an all you can eat buffet or something, cause after 3 days, you're body probably won't agree to everything you throw at it.....

Really, cold ice water is your best detox....

Dr. Oz's medical and weight loss has been a total success for Oprah.

Oh wait, no it hasn't.

You should never feel stupid for asking questions. Dr. Oz is making money by BSing the public. They want to tip toe around the facts and science behind weight loss. How come he isn't taking all of that crap he is pushing onto people? Even though sh$t is always coming out of his mouth, I bet he hasn’t tried half of those crappy programs he pushes onto the public.
