I hear and have read quite a bit about cleansing. There is a lot of information and a lot of seems to contradict each other. Is there a need to cleanse? What is the safest way to do it? Why are they any different than drinking a bottle of Magnesium Citrate Saline Laxative Oral Solution?

Let me know what you think and if it is worth it.

    Cleansing is a scam. Has always been a scam. What are you actually cleansing? Your arteries? Your veins? Your kidneys?
    The only thing cleansing works on is your wallet.

    It depends why you're cleansing? I detox because I'm yeast intolerant so my body doesn't process yeast like everyone else and it leads to lots of unwanted symptoms like mood swings, tiredness etc.. if it's for weight loss I doubt it has any real gain..

    when i was younger my mom used to give me this thing that was like a cleanse. it had nothing to so with weight loss. Just every once and a while i would drink it. She said it would clean out my system. It kept my skin really clear though

    Start with a goal, then work towards a solution.

    My goal is to loose flab after losing 70+lb

    Water is, I hear, the best thing for it.

    And lots of fruit and veggies.

    I lost my weight only by buying walking shoes and minor adjustments to my diet.

    I don't know about "cleansing" really, but this is what I can tell you... my story.

    I only eat Veggies, Meats, and fruits. I have virtually cut out all processed foods, sugars, and artificial sweeteners out of my diet.
    I don't mix my proteins with my starches (ie no potatos with steak)

    This is actually called Food Combining. I only know it works for me. I feel better. But I can also tell you the food detox process was awful and was like a really bad flu. Head aches, body aches, nausea, muscle cramps. But I am glad I waited it out! Its awesome. I have not had any heart burn, nausea, or gas for that matter LOL my brain is more alert and I have more energy.

    But I do not know about cleansing to be honest, however, I do know this has really helped me feel better.
