Can anyone recommend a good detox and cleanse product? I think my body needs one because its not responding at all to diet and exercise! I know what I am doing is correct because i lost 40lbs after my 2nd child from diet and exercise and I lost the weight quickly! Now my body wont do anything And Ive been exercising and staying at my calorie goal for three weeks! Any suggestions what could be happening?

Hold on to your money, the so-called detox and cleanse products being sold have no benefits that can be demonstrated scientifically.
1) Eat cleaner (reduce or eliminate processed foods)
2) Eat lots of vegetables and fresh fruits and stick to lean protein sources
3) Make sure that you're adequately hydrated
4) Create a caloric deficit based on a diet that is healthy and sustainable
5) Exercise (cardio & strength)
Your body has its own "detox and cleanse" systems in place. Your liver and kidneys remove toxins and you "cleanse" every time you go to the bathroom.0 -
Are you nursing? I know that nursing my son helped a whole lot! but eating loads of fiber works too. I need to follow my own advice0

If you look up Dr. OZ he has a cleanse diet for 3 days. All juicing and natural food like Quinoa (VERY GOOD FOR YOU). I refuse to take pills or stuff like that but all natural seems like a way to go. Good luck!0

What is your avg cal intake for the 3 weeks? What does MFP say you are burning per day? What sort of exercise are you doing? Have you just started recently? Have you taken measurements?0 -

Keep it up, it took almost 3 weeks for me to start losing too. Be sure you're getting enough calories, maybe your body is in starvation mode?0

Save your money, your body is designed for natural detox and cleanse, it's called your liver and kidneys, just make sure you're drinking enough water and you don't need one.
If you've hit a plateau, use the search engine and there are quite a few threads on how to deal with this situation.0 -
Pending some sort of medical condition, if you are eating in a light to moderate calorie deficit, you will lose weight. How long have you been stuck?
Your diary is also unavailable to the public. How is your logging? Are you logging everything you eat?0 -

You're not eating enough & you haven't included any resistance training.0 -

Be sure to have your thyroid checked. That was my problem about 15 years ago. I had gained 50lbs in one year...that was while dieting and going to the gym EVERYDAY. My thyroid was so out of wack that I should have been in a coma. Once the medication was regulated I stabalized....I still have 40 of that 50lbs...but that is because I have been too lazy to try to get rid of it......UNTIL NOW!0

You're not eating enough. You need to eat most, if not all, of your exercise calories back.0

You should eat your exercise calories - you are doing quite a bit of cardio and if you are not replacing the calories you are quite a bit under your required calories so you may well be in starvation mode. Try eating your exercise calories - you may see a small increase in your weight in the short term but you will lose weight in the long run. Also, as previously suggested, try adding some strength training.0

1200 calories is the MIN you are supposed to eat, 900 is just not ok for anyone no wonder you aren't losing anything, your body is storing everything because you stopped taking care of yourself....smh0
