    Your body already cleanses itself daily. Drink plenty of water and eat healthy food and you're doing your body the most good you possibly can. Why are you putting yourself through the suffering of a cleanse?

    Personally I'd throw away the cleanse stuff and just start eating good food at an honest deficit and start losing weight the healthy way. If you want to further improve your health, get plenty of good sweaty workouts in.

    I apologize if this is not the type of support you were seeking.

    You don't need to cleanse. As previous poster said your body already does this via your liver and kidneys. Whatever toxins you think you are capable of removing do not exist.

    Eat less, move more, and you will lose weight and feel better.

    I tried it once. I only made it two days. Then I ate a ton of food. I don't think I cleansed anything. But I learned my relationship with food is much better when we get together often.

    One thing it does do is get you in touch with what true hunger feels like.

    Read that and the cited material and then find a tasty, tasty sandwich to go with your lemonade.

    i know you already made your decision but i have a friend who does those cleanse things all the time. all she does is yo-yo up and down 10lbs, never making any real progress. a diet of restriction will never stick as a lifestyle!

    If you want to clean your system eat a lot of veggies. I'm talking more than the recommended 5 a day. That fiber will definitely clean you out!

    Hey hey, good for you! It's refreshing to see someone be open to constructive criticism.

    Seriously thanks for actually listening. Most people that "ask" for input on cleanses tend to go into a kind of psycho rage on any kind of common sense, logic, or factual evidence against cleanses.

    Either way I get my jollies.
