    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.

    Anyone else doing this Program right now? I am going to need some support....

    Okay - I am starting the Total Cleanse today... For those of you who do not live in South Western Ontario this is a Cleanse that delivers to your door 6 bottles of 500ml fresh pressed juice and this is ALL YOU CONSUME ALL DAY. I just had my first juice - Green Energy - and I am already feeling faint. Lol. I do not think I am actually "hungry", I just think that in my food Obsessed mind I am not "eating" unless I am "eating" solid food......

    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.

    you''d get the same results by eating whole foods processed as little as possible in slight caloric deficit while trying to hit certain macro nutrient targets, but without the cleanses.

    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.

    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.

    The human body is self cleansing. From your liver to your kidneys to your digestive system to your vagina...fuel it properly and it will cleanse itself.
    Yes.. Fuel your vagina properly. Wait... What was the topic? :-)

    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....

    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

    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.
