    it sounds like if that diet had a different name that is not ''detox or cleanse'' people would be ''oh okay or sure''

    i know all that detox bull**** or any diet bull**** won't make your life change forever.
    I lost 50lbs without any diet,but this I wanted to try because I want to make myself be a little more strict,it doesn't mean that i'm following that ''diet'' 100% like it's written. It's just a little plan so I can be back on my 'old-healthier-eating-path'


    But thanks anyways

    You want to get to a healthier eating plan and you think dropping 17# in 10 days is healthy...I think I'm gonna need to find out what your definition of healthy is.

    There should be a "Cleanse" sub-forum where all these posts can go to die of a broken lonely heart because it will make it easier for us to ignore their stupidity outright.

    Geezus H. Christ! This is the cabbage soup diet, not a freakin' detox. Is that what they're calling it now?

    You asked the question "who's with me"... you got answers... maybe not the ones you wanted... you didn't ask for people's opinions about the "cleanse" or whether you should do it or what to do instead. But you're welcome.

    I AM NOT FOLLOWING THAT ''PLAN'' 100% LIKE IT IS WRITTEN.


    Losing 10-17lbs in a week is sick,I know that.


    i just want to take the basics.


    what are you saying for vegans then?

    Hi, first off, I want to apologize. I was quick to use sarcasm when you posted. I would like to redeem myself. A big part of myfitnesspal is the idea that losing weight quickly is not necessarily the best for you. And quite a few people that have been here for awhile have learned that quick "jumpstarts" and cleanses tend to not only give short term results, but can damage you in the future. Cleansing is a bit of a fad in the 21st century, when people were told that if you were to lose weight quick, you could get off on a good footing towards "normal" weight loss. What those cleanses don't address is that losing weight is about consistency and taking care of your body. It doesn't teach you how to eat at a deficit or why certain foods are better in moderation than others. It is restriction and more than 90% of the time leads to binging and gaining the weight back plus some. Here are some great links (from a post I made as an former dieter and habitual cleanser) that I have found helpful when starting over or after losing track for awhile. I wish you all the luck, and you can pm me if you need anything.

    Well then the negative comments should then be a segue into asking other questions... such as, "Ok, if no one wants to do it then why? What would be a better alternative?"

    Oh, and I see you are new in the forums.... cleanses and detoxes are brought up all the time... there are always going to be "sarcastic" (using that term very loosely here) pop up when this topic is brought up.

    Honestly, you did get one really very valuable post here, that link on the "detox or cleanse." It's a great place to go for a serious answer.

    Sometimes, the old folks here just get our undies in a bundle when we see cleanses, detoxes, quick fixes... hang in there. At the end of the day, you do what you do. But if you just start reading, you'll quickly see the overall theme here...

    Just a couple of observations:

    1.If your OP has a link and that you're going to start something, it is assumed you're doing exactly that plan. It wasn't until later that you clarified you aren't following it exactly. More definition in your OP could avoid some miscommunication such as: "I don't want to do this exactly as written, I was thinking of taking elements X, Y, and Z and incorporating them into my plan".

    2. [quote' what if it was a person who really doesn't know what is the healthiest way to lose weight and keep yourself healthy? those comments are really sarcastic.

    [/quote] I believe those comments *would* help someone who legit didn't know better, because it would make them stop and read. The people on here are not jerks, they're helping. No one is going to pander to anyone, though, when a simple search of the forums would pop up this discussion a thousand times. Hence some level of sarcasm.

    3. Any kind of detox or specific diet is just a scam. I don't understand why you feel the need to do it in order to become more strict with yourself. If you want something enough, you'll do it, even if it doesn't have a fancy name or structure to it.

    IF by cleanse you mean shampooing our bodies in a cleansing of dirt manner, then yes. But I've been doing that few a couple decades now.

    Start with your face, you dirty dirty dirty girl.

    What does someone being vegan have anything to do with this post...what so ever?

    I'm a vegetarian. If someone wants to be vegan I'd say do it for the right reasons, don't do it because you think you'll lose weight. I'd also advise them to make sure they research to get all their macros.

    You weren't asking for advice.

    You wanted people to suffer and follow you on this ridiculous fad diet and now you're butthurt because people were honest. They might have been snarky, but we see these threads every. single. day.

    Most people posting these don't want real advice, they want someone to pat them on the head and validate that what they are doing is okay. That's NOT going to happen here. We aren't here to support dangerous unhealthy diets...which posting/promoting them is actually against the TOS.

    So... why don't you just go back to your "old healthier eating plan?" Why do you need a cleanse, which basically will do nothing more than "cleanse" your wallet of cash?

    I don't get it but it's true, a fool and his money are soon parted. I need to come up with some trendy diet plan and make loads of cash.

    People got cranky really fast because:
    1. There is a "don't do detox cleanses" thread pinned to the top of this forum. If anyone comes here excited to try a new cleanse, it means that person did not read the intro threads.
    2. You defended the idea, saying that the problem was that it used the word detox, that people wouldn't be all NO STOP if it had used another word. That's just not true. Any diet that promises more than 2 lb loss a week is hooey.
    3. A simple google search will show you that green tea extract/ginicia cambogia is a scammy product that Dr. Oz just got in trouble for touting. One of the manufacturers just settled in court for making false and misleading claims.

    I don't think anyone gave you any diet and weight loss advice because most people here who are successful at losing weight use the MyFItnessPal weight loss plan. As in, they log what they eat in their food diary. Some people (like me) also weigh their food.

    Eat how you want to eat for the rest of your life and you will be successful. Buy into fads and scams and you'll end up weighing a few dollars less.

    Everything I've learned in 2.5 years...

    Be miserable. Or motivate yourself. Whatever has to be done, it's always your choice.

    It's about moderation not deprivation. There are no good/bad foods, only bad eating habits. Do or do not, there is no try. You have to want it, you have to work for it, you have to realize that only you can do it.

    well one thing for sure if someone posts something that is not very smart or crazy diet then everyone will come up to say something
    BUT if someone posts something like ''sharing advice or anything,they'll get 3 or 4 comments.

    It actually sounds pretty sad.


    I should post some even crazier diets here and i will get comments for sure

    You don't have to read every single post... but reading at the very least the pinned ones at the top of forums would be a good idea as there is a lot of pertinent information that will help you lose weight a lot healthier than any cleanse, detox, fad, or pill.

    does it really matter why?

    a cleanse is ridiculous regardless of the reasons behind it.

    No, when you post about doing a cleanse people assume you're uneducated about nutrition and the safe and healthy way to lose weight. A lot of those posts were helpful but you're too defensive to see past the sarcasm.

    Oh! It's because of the little red dress you bought. Well that is different. I was afraid this would turn into the "I have to loose 20 lbs before my wedding in 2 weeks" thread. whew. That's a relief.



    Wait.... I am using sarcasm again, ain't I? I have to stop doing that.
