Detox / Cleanse Recommendations

I forgot to tell you that the products by Qivana are backed by Dr. Marcus Laux and Dr Donald K. Layman. They have won lots of nobel peace prizes and have written of books. They have Derek Hall, Devin Glazier, Justin Banner, Rodney James and Craig Johanson on their team. I know they use science and reseach for their products.

They won a nobel peace prize? Lots of them? that's incredible, they must be loaded

Thank you for the tip, MoreBean13. There is a green smoothie in my future with a banana involved -- hopefully spinach isn't one of those vegetables that cause bloat as well (e.g., broccoli).

I have not heard of spinach causing bloating. Usually people have a problem with cruciferous veggies- broccoli, bok choy, kale, cabbage, cauliflower and onions seem to be an issue (but not cruciferous). Spinach is packed with potassium, should be a good choice.

MoreBean13 : Thanks for the reassurance! You seem to be quite knowledgeable about such things. I haven't noticed bloat from spinach- or kale-based green smoothies in the past, but under my current circumstances, I don't want to chance anything. Fast food is the blech. ;p

Sounds like you're not talking about the sort of cleanse that some of the posts are mocking. Those are the "take this pill and be miraculously cured of all that ails you" cleanses. What you're talking about is something we can all related to, which is "I feel like hell because I've been eating the wrong foods".

Like Bean said (listen to her, she knows what she's talkin' about), the best thing to do is eat healthy and drink lots of water. A blueberry-banana-babyspinach smoothie is delicious, btw. You can't taste the spinach at all, but it does add a peculiar dark color. lol.) Focus on whole grains, lots of fruit and veggies, healthy nuts like almonds, yogurt (watch the sugar), lean proteins, and drinking plenty of water. Part of the problem with crap food is the sodium, so you might be a tad dehydrated. Note that you may have some stomach bloating from gas if you have a huge amount of fiber and you're not used to it, but it should be temporary.

Hope you feel better!

lesliefb, I am on a major green smoothie kick here. They make me feel great! It is amazing how sweet and good they taste, not at all like I expected pureed greens to taste.
