To Cleanse or Not to Cleanse??

NicLiving

I have done this before, not very fun, but does anyone have any idea if this is a good idea or how often it should be done?

It's been done as we type! You don't need to waste money on a "cleanse" just eat lots of fruits and veggies and drink lots of water.
Just my opinion based on my experience. I've tried em and lost nothing but money. The weight loss was temporary and not fun.

To cleanse or not to cleanse? That is the question.
Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
The slings and arrows of non-specific toxins
Or to take arms against a sea of imagined bowel obstructions
And by opposing, perforate one's colon. To juice; to detox;
No more; and by a detox to say we end
The pH and the balance of intestinal flora
That guts are heir to, 'tis a consummation
Devoutly to be avoided. To juice; to detox;
To detox: perchance to puke: aye, there's the rub;
For in the pangs of indigestion what side-effects may come
When we go and leave our undies soiled.

= Amazing! LOL

Only when I have to scrub the bathroom.

On a more serious note, when I first decided to lose weight and began paying attention to what I was eating, I went from eating and drinking way too much soda, junk food, pasta, candy, and fast food, to eating lots of vegetables (raw and cooked), lean grilled chicken, and brown rice (still ate other stuff, but that was my focus)--I lost a lot of weight the first two weeks, felt 100 percent better, and had much more regular bathroom habits--sort of a natural cleanse, if you will. It just didn't hurt, didn't require any "special" foods or drinks or pills, and I was eating a proper amount of calories to fuel the working out I had just started doing.

Would someone (everyone), please copy this and keep it so it can be repeated on every new cleanse thread?

There's multiple types of cleanse... the liquid cleanse (don't recommend) or a pill based cleanse... which I also don't recommend. I did a "natural" cleanse for the first time 3 months ago.. took multiple pills, ate right and exercised... I was in such pain by day 4 that I couldn't even stand... Toxins are stored in a womans legs; therefore, all the pain is in your legs and/or other areas. On top of the horrible leg pain, I got extremely sick for 5 days while cleansing... that's the whole point of cleansing is to rid your body of toxins and it WILL make you sick. I will NEVER cleanse again!!!!

Oh my goodness...Please tell me you don't really believe that "toxins are stored in a women's legs" and all the other junk??? You got sick because you put a lot of junky pills in your body and got very little nutrition......

Totally ridiculous. It's just a trick. Notice that no matter what the outcome is, it is presented as 'proof' that it works. If you do it and feel great, see it worked! If you do it and feel like crap, see it worked! There is no outcome that would have you saying, oh it didn't work.

All these 'cleanse' people did was replace the word "evil spirits" with "toxins" so they can push outdated nonsense on modern suckers.

Haha, I'm probably vain enough to do that. Thanks, everyone for the kind comments. :blushing:

^*^*^*^*^*^**^^ This!

Nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo.

Don't do it. Your body has systems that do it naturally:

- The large intestine
- The liver
- The kidneys
- Fat tissue
- Muscles and tendons
- Nose, ears, and eyes
- Lungs and skin

The best thing you can do is to feed your body nutrient dense, healthy foods, hydrate your body properly, move a lot and get plenty of rest. That way your systems can properly "cleanse" themselves by working in an optimally supported environment.

^^^^^This.....it's a perfect answer.

Only if you schedule a colonoscopy.
