Master Cleanse

TourThePast

My body magically cleanses itself, all on its own, all day, every day.

How cool is that?

Then again, I have a lovely red liver and a matching pair of nice shiny kidneys, who knows what you've got missing if your body needs "cleansing"? :bigsmile:

There are things I will give up to lose fat, but control of my butt is not one of them xD

Thats exactly right! Just follow this free calorie counter and with time and perserverance you will succeed. Its always hard at first.. Besides siyou loose lots of weight fast that means there is something wrong with your body. Ideally the first 10lbs melts off quickly then you steady it to 1-2 lbs a week, anymore than that is really unhealthy. And pilates does not help wiht muscle retention, you have to replace your fat with muscle or it comes back.. pump some iron!!

I know it might be tempting to try things like this, but don't.

Your body cleans itself.

If you want to lose weight, eat clean and train hard. There are no quick fixes that will become permanent solutions.

Distilled water is NOT meant for human consumption!!!!! Spring water sure, but not Distilled, that is for filling your radiator, humidifier, iron, etc.

This is bad information. Distilled water is fine for human consumption. There are some health risks (mineral depletion) with drinking only distilled water over a period of time. But to say distilled water is not meant for human consumption is incorrect.

Ahahshhhaaahaha, the fact someone is even considering this is hilarious.

If you start eating right (not saying that you aren't), you'll have the energy to do P90X because your body will have the fuel (nutrients) it needs to perform. Lots of veggies, lean protein and water. Don't starve yourself, fuel yourself with the right kind of fuel.

Well said.

There are no magic diets that burn fat, no pills that make you slim, no shoes that make you fit, no cream that makes you slim.

There IS eating sensibly and doing exercise.

It doesn't come with shiny labels, it doesn't come with outrageous claims, but it DOES work.

Look at my waistline in my profile pic. That's a body that was obese eleven months ago.

You want a body like that?

Start going to the gym three times a week and logging every calorie eleven months ago.

Don't have a time machine?

Then start now. This time next year you'll have an amazing body.

Keep looking for quick fixes like this Master Cleanse?

This time next year you'll have a body that is in worse shape than it is now.

Your body.

Your decision.

All I want to add, is that cleanses in my experience personally and with friends are either a great idea or a huge mistake. Nothing in between. A lot of times you end up so weak and depraved feeling you just binge at the end of it all, which is the worst feeling ever as your body is still getting used to solids again...

What I will say they are good for, and this goes for any shakes/juices/concoction is to mentally prepare yourself and to shrink your stomach down (although this can take a few days for sure!) so you're satisfied with less and can start fresh on a plan.

Oh, also as mdailey93 said, yes, your body cleanses itself. It just needs a 12 hour window to efficiently do so per night, so eat breakfast no earlier than 12 hours after dinner. Water is fine though. Hope that helps!

I hope the poster chooses to go a healthier route, but we should all remain positive and not make her feel "forced" to follow the solicited advice no matter how compelling the argument may be. This should be a supportive site to help each other make good choices and stay on track of a diet/exercise plan. I have wondered about the cleanse methods myself although I fear if something sounds too good to be true, it usually is. Therefore, I have never tried it and probably will never try it.

Poppycock. Where do these ideas come from?

Actually that's a good question, where DID that idea come from?
