Hi everyone :) I'm Stephanie, new to myfitnesspal so if you want to add me as a friend, I'd greatly appreciate it!
I have started on my weight loss journey, and I have 17 kgs to lose. I've heard that short liquid detoxes really help with weight loss as well as hair, nails, skin etc. I'm not crash dieting, e.g. I'm not severely cutting my calories, but I started this week (monday) and have been on a 3 day liquid detox.
So I'm planning on 5 days liquid detox, 2 days normal paleo diet to lose weight. I will be cutting 1000 calories a day (I exercise too and eat back those calories).

My liquid diet is high on vegetables (30%), fruits+high sugar veges (20%), protein (30%), fats/nuts/seeds (20%)

Has anyone else had experiences or feedback about short detoxes that you'd like to share please? :) I've heard that if you go on a detox for too long actually your hair starts falling out and everything. But mine is 5 days liquid, 2 days normal for 17 weeks.

Thank you so much!!! :) I appreciate your help

    FYI, our bodies are made to detox, we have organs (like the kidney) made just for this purpose. Unless there is something medically wrong, a detox is very unnecessary and will normally cause more harm than good

    Eat at a calorie deficit and everything will fall into place.

    I see from another post that you are planning on eating only 800 calories a day, that is a bad idea, a detox is a bad idea, combined it is a recipe for some really bad things to happen.

    Please take some time and read some of the pinned posts in the forums, it will really help to get a good grasp of what is a good, healthy way to reach your goals.

    I hope this is a joke post. Liquid nuts? How would that make them healthier or help with weight loss? Seems like it would just make your drink grainy. :sick:

    You can't drop your calories to 1000 and not drastically cut calories. 1000 is retty drastic.

    Go out on whatever night you like to go out on- drink a lot.

    that'll get you detoxed just right the next day.

    My after drinking dueces are THE.BEST.

    I pee every 3 hours or so, and I feel so much better after!

    Your body detoxes for you. There are no toxins. It will do nothing for you.

    THAT is my kind of detox/liquid diet. I think I will try it tonight...
