    Go to the health food store or supplement store and ask them about vitmanis or supplements that help people starting their diet. I am assuming you are wanting to kick start your metabolism and rid your body of all the bad toxins you have been putting in it.

    The supplements will help kick start your metaolism and stop putting bad things in your body and over time they will leave your body.

    A good way to tell is when you don't get stomach grumbles any more and your start feeling hunger in your throat and jaw area. The grumbles is your body withdrawing from all the junk you put in it. It is ind of like a drug addict going through with draws. While you are in it, it feels like the world is ending and once you are done your body feels like new.

    Good Luck

    This may win some records as the worst advice ever posted for 2013.

    My post was intended to be sarcastic, a couple of people here didn't pick up on that. I'm not trying to sell anything. For the record...I believe cleanses are a total scam and have posted so on my blog. I was trying to point out to the OP that successful weight loss is about eating is slight caloric deficit with whole foods while hitting your macro targets.

    Sorry :blushing: sarcasm detection fail on my part lol - but I think your point was too subtle for the people who get taken in by cleansing scams to get your point. (and too subtle for me too, evidently!) Though the point is very clear now.

    My apologies. I too missed the sarcasm.

    No need for apologies fellas. Maybe sarcasm wasn't appropriate because people do fall for these schemes and I wouldn't want my posts in anyway to be misconstrued as supportive. That is why I posted the clarification. OP please ditch this scheme and just follow the MFP plan. It will work given time and consistency.

    I'm sure you're going to do what you want to do. When I decided to do the Master Cleanse for 10 days (on 2 separate occasions), I didn't care what anybody else thought. I tend to take my own counsel on things that affect only me.

    I do wonder why you would post this here, though. As a member, I'm sure you know the MFP philosophy.

    Next time you feel the need to cleanse, schedule a colonoscopy. The cleanse they give you only takes 12 hours (+/-).
  • For everyone that says someone is giving bad advice do your research. Go google toxic hunger and the effects it has on your body and where true hunger is felt.

    Here is two of many articles you can read on it http://toyourhealthnutrition.blogspot.com/2010/02/toxic-hunger-main-cause-of-obesity-by.html or this one http://www.motionperformancefitness.com/blog/true-vs-toxic-hunger.aspx.

    I will not say rude things about the people that are not educated on this matter but instead i will try and drop some knowledge on them to help them.

    It has helped me tremendously and through hard work, proper dieting and supplements I have lost over twenty pounds since January 2 2013.

    To the person saying your body does not need food, please get a better health education. And juice cleanses don't really do much to clean. If I wanted a cleanse then I would just eat fresh food and drink tons of water.

    by "it" I meant body...Fuel the body correctly and the body will cleanse itself...sorry

    No need to apologize. It made me smile.

  • Okay - 10:30am and I am doing my second jouce - Lemon Rush - which is a mix of Lemon, Caynne and Maple Syrup. Similar to "Master Cleanse", I guess. Actually not too hungry yet....

    That's your response to all these replies? Methinks I've been had.

    Well played.

    You forgot the snake oil. It doesn't work without the snake oil.
  • Okay - wait - I think that I need to explain as many of you are misunderstanding.

    1) This is not a calorie deficient diet. I actually consume 1350 calories per day with this cleanse, which is 150 more calroies then My Fitness Pal has me on
    2) the fresh pressed juices are full of Fats, Nutrients, Sugars, protiens, etc. There is flax, Greens, Parsley, Beets, Berries, Cashew Milk.... so I am not depriving myself of anything
    3) I am not doing this to loose wieght . I am doing it for the cleansing benifits that come from giving your digestive system a break. Also the Antioxidents contained in these nutrient dense drinks help clear the body of junk

    Yes.

    To answer your "AM I CRAZY???" question.

    That is all.
  • Thank you - this post is actually the type of information and support I was looking for. :-)

    Be prepared to feel like **** for the frist three days. This is your body going through withdrawal of not eating the crap you are used to eating. I wish you luck in this. I recently watched "Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead" and been wanting to do a jucing fast for a few days because I feel that I don't get enough vitamins and minerals that fruits and veggies provide.
  • yup. get ready to hang out in the bathroom a lot... and don't be shocked when you regain whatever you lose on this "super-mazing-ultimate-colon-scrubbing-miracle-diet-food-fast" garbage.

    Nope - you guys are missing the point. How frusterating. This is not a colon cleanse. Nor is it a calorie deficient diet.
    If you are not familar with this company or the Cleanse please do not respond anymore. If you are interested in getting a bit of back ground on what I am doign before putting in your "two cents" at least gooogle their website and get "informed"

    Now that I get it, I appreciate your post.

    I get how coming out of your mouth it reads as the realm of fantasyland. Welcome to MFP, though, where people post stuff like this everyday...you have to actually include unicorns to differentiate your post from what someone else might actually believe, lol. Even then, sometimes it's questionable.

    Here's a wiazard riding a unicorn riding a pony on a rainbow through space- you're gonna need it.

    A couple blogs on the internet does not prove your point. Your point is unprovable, because it's untrue. There are lots of educated people on this site who have done medical research (not interwebz blogs) that disprove your theory.

    Try again. It's entertaining.

    Dr Fuhrman sells air - seriously over-promises health by not eating fat. His books have some good information but he over-sells, over-promises and over-states many things. A friend of my mother was convinced by his diet-immunology bullsh!t cures cancer and tried a diet rather than to start up a treatment earlier. She's dead. She might have passed anyway - but these doctors that over promise on their diet are dangerous.

    The whole toxic hunger BS is an invention of his.

    Having said that, a lot of what he recommends makes sense, eat greens, etc. Does it need to be a cleanse? No.

    Be careful what knowledge you try to drop, it might land on your foot.

    Post in public, get public feedback. You can tell us not to respond, but that won't help. Ignore me.

    Any "cleanse" from any company, based on any pseudo-science is literally crap. Worse than useless because it distracts people from the basic work they need to do to be healthy.

    ^^^^^ this. (and he phrased it politely too)

    to cleanse your body, drink water (your liver and kidneys will keep your blood clean), and eat plenty of fibre (your intestines naturally clean themselves out if you drink water and eat fibre).

    to lose weight, eat less than you burn off. to learn how much less than you burn off is for you, see the "in place of a road map" thread.

    quoted because it needs to be said AGAIN and AGAIN :)

    :drinker: (and no, I'm not drinking a "cleanse" there ;)

    Your body doesn't need FOOD,

    My biology degree disagrees with you
  • Posts: 2,916 Member

    I've been cleansing for like 8 months now. The program is pure genius. I eat whole foods processed as little as possible in slight caloric deficit while trying to hit certain macro nutrient targets. I also go to the bathroom regularly. The results are amazing. I've lost 47 lbs, zero lean body mass, and feel amazing.

    Well played. :flowerforyou:
