I personally don't think it's good or bad but I am not a professional.

I did horrible this weekend also, pizza, chicken wings, soda, etc and I never eat like that. Anyway, my cleansing this week will be double my water intake with laxative tea at night and upping my grams of fiber this week, that should do the trick. Everyone is different though. As long as it is safe, I think it's okay. I feel super bloated today but I still lost weight....crazy!

I wouldn't do a cleanse diet, where you cleanse your bowels while basically eating nothing. Those can be dangerous (although I know there will be people out there who disagree with me, I just would be very careful with that kind of cleanse). What I would do is some fiber cleansing pills while you continue to eat your usual healthy diet and drink lots of water. Go to your local health food store to ask about these products. They can make you feel like you have at least gotten rid of all the fat and sugar slime in your intestines.

You need to do research on those. I heard that they are not good for you.

I have tried them before..

And I will never use them again.. After reading about starvation mode and how detrimental it is to the metabolism, I like to "get back on the wagon" after hours, days, weeks of being "bad" by eating what I am allowed to have. AKA staying within my calorie limits and trying to eat good, whole foods.

It's hard, because with a cleanse diet, you lose a lot of weight fast! And when you just get back on track, you lose weight slow, and the full effects of how bad you've eaten lately sets in. Granted, the cleanse induced weight loss is mostly water and you gain it back when you start eating normally..

Anyway, sorry for long reply. I just jump right back on the wagon and keep truckin'! Its just about the nicest thing I can do to my body after feeding it too much crap. :]

Just cut out the "bad" stuff and drink a LOT of water, your body will do it naturally.
