Dr. Oz 48 hour weekend cleanse

lomajess

I'm thinking about giving this a try, has anyone tried it before? If so, what did you like & did not like about it?

Can you post a link or details of what the cleanse entails for the rest of us that haven't heard about it?

So it’s basically a weekend of food that makes you *kitten*. I don’t see why this is marketed as a “detox”. He clearly states you have the proper organs for detoxification. So this is just called “eating good food”. That also helps you *kitten*.

There is no need for a "detox" or"cleanse". Just eat.

I looked at the link and was gratified to see he acknowledges that the body has it's own detox system; nothing looks outlandish in terms of the foods (I'm a big fan of blueberries) the only questionable thing I noticed was the "sweat out toxins" comment but I've heard that epsom salt baths (magnesium sulfate) have tangible benefits related to absorption of magnesium.

What do you hope to accomplish?

Two things wrong with this, the fact that "cleanse" and "Dr. Oz" are in the title. I rest my case. You're welcome. :drinker:

TDGee

Sounds like a great way to have a craptastic weekend. Make sure to put lotion on your cheekies, they are going to need it.

The weekend cleanses I've done typically involve a burrito.

Just a cleanse, I dont want to do a week long one because i know your body needs carbs to exercise, so i looked for something short & my rest days. I also wanted a clease where you are allowed to actually eat food/veggies.

I just wanted something to kick start my "change of eating habits"

Want to kick start your eating habits? Plan out a menu for the next week or two. Go to the store and buy groceries, and start eating well.

If you follow some stupid *kitten* Dr. Oz cleanse, it's just going to delay the process of starting good habits by a few more days.

Who needs a cleanse when you have mfp?

dumb_blondes_rock

people are going to be against this comment, but if you feel like you need to get stuff out of your colon take some cherry flavored milk of magnesia.....and stay home for a day.....stock up on t.p. before you do it though

So spend the weekend eating raw/vegan.
Veggies and fruits are high in carbs if you choose the right ones. Just saying.

why is it whenever I see Dr. Oz's name I expect to hear him say "pay no attention to the man behind the curtain"?

I have mixed feelings about him - but one episode said "cheat on your diet" and then his cheat day insisted of what I eat most days of my diet. man behind the curtain trick indeed!

Why does everyone hate Dr. Oz so much? I happen to like him. Of course I dont take his word as gospel or anything, but man there are a lot of really rude people on here about the man!

Great advice ^ Pretty much sums up what I was about to post. Your body is equipped with a great cleansing system. Just give it good whole foods plus plenty of water and the rest will take care of itself.

I should do this! In 48 hours I could really clean my house!

Spring cleaning, yo!

Alot of you guys are being so mean! She just asked a question, answer you don't have to be snarky and mean. But anyway I agree to just eat healthy with fruit, vegetables, and protein. Detoxes generally aren't that great and as soon as you start eating normally again you will generally gain back any weight you may have lost on the detox.

Dr. Oz, or his writers, were fairly clever on this one. This so-called cleanse pays lip service to the reasons people think they need a cleanse while delivering the benefits they are likely actually looking for. I am impressed.

If you are eating a common "modern" diet high in processed foods and low in whole foods, then this will probably leave you feeling better after a weekend. It will make your bowel movements easier and probably make you feel generally healthier than before hand. This "weekend cleanse" is simply a vegetarian diet that is high in nutrient-dense foods and low in potential gut irritants, giving you a great shot of the micro-nutrients we need.

We do not need a "cleanse" to flush toxins from our bodies. This weekend cleanse cannot do this, because no cleanse can. That said, if you want to get a real shot of healthy foods to leave you feeling "flushed out" and ready to begin a healthier lifestyle, then this is not a bad choice - it has lots of good foods and certainly will not harm your body. It is no substitute for eating healthy, but it is a great introduction to it.

In this instance, Dr. Oz has used a fad concept to promote a healthy lifestyle. Not bad.

I don't see a single "mean" comment. What did you expect to see? People telling her to go for it when its completely unnecessary?
OP the other responders are right. You don't need to kick-start healthy eating. Just start.
You don't want to spend your whole weekend tied to the bathroom for nothing. Your body cleanses itself.

Because 99% of what the man says is pure horse ****.
