Has anyone tried a fruit and veggie cleanse?

If you haven't tried the cleanse, have you adapted it as a lifestyle and seen results?

I've seen a few stories online how people have said they've adapted it as a lifestyle and seen incredible results not just weight wise - but also in their eyesight, skin, energy levels, sleep levels, stress levels and as a remedy for depression.

I'm thinking of doing a cleanse and then if I like it I'm thinking of doing a fruit, vegetable and milk diet (pretty self explanatory),
I'm going to create a tumblr in 10 days, so if anyone's interested in following my journey, send me a msg.

CW - 74 kgs (163 lbs)
GW - 63-4 kgs (140 lbs)
Height - 5 ft 7.2
Build - Hourglass
Age - 21

Please don't give me your concern, I'm smart enough to know that if I cannot function properly on what I'm doing that it's unhealthy.

Thanks for reading x:flowerforyou:

In to hear about how vegetarian diet with no grains classifies as a cleanse.
Also in to hear why not eating meat or grains causes the body to be healthy when humans are omnivores.

I follow a vegan diet with no sugar, caffeine, and minimal alcohol (1 drink or less per week). I do eat grains.

I find that my mental clarity, energy levels, and overall physical health is much better that when I am on the SAD.

I've used a Mango Body scrub does that count?

Haha no it doesnt, unless you've lost an insurmountable amount of weight from it.

I do love meat but find that it makes me feel sick.

Would definitely love for this cleanse/lifestyle to work!

Work how, exactly?

I hate the word "cleanse" but I get what you're saying! A couple weeks of less calories and just veges (with vitamin supplements ) can do a body good! I've done it with veges before (NOT fruit) . I see no harm in trying to get your body into a healthy state, just re-adjust with appropriate calories and hit you fat and protein Macros after you feel 'cleaned out'!

really now...what about protien? how would I get 125g in a day just eating veggies?

How can just eating veggies do a body good? please explain....

What are you hoping to accomplish?

"Cleanses" are all tripe.

I ate a mango chutney; does this count?

to be honest, i've been calling it a cleanse because that's what everyone else seems to call it.

What I mean is, i guess, a trial. A trial lifestyle change, does that make everyone happy?

I cleanse all my fruits and veggies before I eat them...

Makes sense really...

Don't get me wrong, I love and eat tons protein on a daily basis! Love a big steak for breakfast. I had a specialist in digestive issues ( MD doctor) put me on something similar to what she suggest (no dairy) and lots of supplements, including a source of protein and I felt wonderful after doing it a week. I was then able to add back in foods to see what MY stomach can handle. I'm not on her to argue and say do things MY way, this site is filled with so-called experts. I'm saying it worked for me! One week of cutting back has many benefits, I will continue to listen to my doctor over the know it alls on here!

Probably not! The site 'experts' want to set you straight and get you on the same path as them!!!

I've got a few chronic health issues and in my opinion it's a dangerous game trying to apply recommendations given by a doctor to a person with a specific medical issue to the general population.

Okay but that doesn't really answer the question: what are you hoping to accomplish?

You're just depriving yourself of essential nutrients. Even the lady that seems to be agreeing with you confirms that she eats tons of protein. How do you intend to get enough protein in this vegetable and fruit diet?

I was just asking the question which you didn't answer...how would I get 125g of protien in? and how does it do a body good?

If this was recommened by a doctor surely they gave you the answers to this...

I see no harm in getting a body into a healthy state but you haven't explained how this gets people to that point...you just got butthurt.

Figure out YOUR body and how it functions the best! I LOVE meat and so does my body! I couldn't and wouldn't want to eat the way you are suggesting long term. I LOVE bread but avoided it because my body doesn't. We do need protein and fat in our diets which is tough to get when eating the way you suggest. Search for a group on here that shares your vegetarian lifestyle they will probably be more open minded and helpful as to how you can get the protein into your body!
