But grinding your food up in a machine gives it magical properties. MFP says so.0

well crap.

I don't see anything unhealthy about the detox recipe or the 'cleanse' described. Are they necessary? No. But then a lot of things touted on MFP are not necessary. Does not being necessary make something bad? Again, no.
Is it simply the words "detox" and "cleanse" that causes all this uproar?

nothing inherently "unhealthy", but its just more misinformation that will be spread.
and with MFP promoting this blog, it implies that MFP buys into this malarky.
their credibility is getting flushed down the crapper, just...like....toxinz.0 -

No, but what difference would that make? Is there something unheatlhy about the blog that I'm missing?0 -

The pre-made smoothies were packed with protein and probiotics, and filled all of my dietary needs. I also upped my water intake.
What's the betting she has a link to buy these pre made smoothies on her blog :noway:0 -

"All the extra liquid helped cleanse and detox my system, and left me feeling refreshed and energized afterwards"
if she means it helped her take a dump...great.
but methinks she believes there are magical properties in these smoothies.0 -

What misinformation?I soon learned that it’s normal to feel “bad” during the first phase of a cleanse as toxins are flushed out of your body -
This misinformation - utter nonsense.0 -
Oh yeah, this comes from the part-time vegan. I remember now! :laugh::laugh::laugh:
Part time vegan? What the? How the? I can't.
For the lulz.

She makes money off her blog. We can't post links to our external blogs even if we don't make money, but they post a link to hers?0 -
MFP has been linking to a lot of "health" bloggers lately. I don't think that means that they support the concepts presented. I think they are just attempting to provide information on the relevant health trends.0

"All the extra liquid helped cleanse and detox my system, and left me feeling refreshed and energized afterwards"
this!
a) how does she know she is now "cleansed" and "detoxified"
b) by saying she needed to do this, she is implying that the body is incapable of doing it on it's own - and therefore giving the impression that others need to cleanse and detoxify too.
c) a magical detox smoothie? where is any hint of information that supports this theory? Or did she just get the runs from it?
it's one thing to put this on a personal blog, but to have it as an MFP site blog? Dumb move.0 -

"If" "methinks" So, you don't really know whether she thinks there are magical properties? We all ingest toxins and extra liquid does help flush them from our bodies.
It is a pretty silly blog, but I think if it's read with an open mind there really isn't anything horrible or unhealthy in it. But I'll let you all get back to bashing it. Have fun.0 -

This line is great!A fellow, equally miserable, co-worker suggested I join her in a cleanse.
If she was equally miserable, then why would you want to do what she is doing? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:0 -

You really will defend anything if the majority are against it :noway:
If it was just extra liquid - why doesn't she say just drink more water - why the need for a magical pre-made smoothie detox - probably available via her blog.

If this smoothie filled all of her "dietary needs" I guess she can shut down her blog.0

You say "Juice Clense?"... I say "No thanks hippie. I'll get the squirts from drinking beer and eating wings like a true American".

It is leading people to believe that throwing some spinach in a blender with some ice cubes and some seasonings will provide some added benefit other than what those foods could do on their own.0 -

I suspect you are missing the point on purpose.
If there is a point, other than the words "detox" and/or "cleans" automatically make everything "unhealthy" and "against MFP rules", then yes I have missed it, though I don't really know how to miss something on purpose. Wouldn't that require first seeing it, and then missing it? Which would really just be pretending to miss it.
And I don't know what you mean by defending something. I've never been much of a 'Everyone's bashing this, so I should too" type person, but I just asked if all the fuss was about her word choice.0 -

It's the meaning behind the word choice. If she simply presented this as a green smoothie that she has enjoyed, no one would say a thing, but the term "detox" and "cleanse" gives the impression that this recipe is somehow made better as a smoothie than if these ingredients were merely cooked together and served whole.0 -
I don't see any problem with doing a short term cleanse to help facilitate your body's own natural toxin elimination systems. However if you think doing a cleanse is going to be some sort of cure all in the long term I would warn against that. Twice a year I do an ayurvedic cleanse which is very gental, you eat Kitchadi which is a curry mung bean and rice stew...and is delicious with lots of ghee encouraged Whoo-hoo!, take some cleansing herbs and drink cleansing tea and throw in some cleansing and restorative yoga. Two weeks in the Spring and Fall. I tried juice cleanses and very quickly decided they were not for me. They are too hard on your digestion with...um...unpleasant bathroom side effects...and the concentrated sugar in juice wreaked havoc on me so I would not do a green smoothie cleanse. I used to drink lots of smoothies and still do on occasion but am getting away from that to keep the fiber and integrity of the whole food.0
