Has anyone tried fasting, cleanses, or detoxes before? I've read that some of the benefits are cleansing your body of impurities, weight loss, increase of energy. But, do they really work?

I know there are a lot out there, but are they all good? I tried Dr. Oz's 3 day detox recently, but couldn't get by the lunch smoothie with veggies. I also recently did a one day all liquid fast. I am going to try to do that 1x a week. What are some others you have tried? We're you happy with the results?

Thanks and god bless

    Put fast, cleanse or detox in the Search feature and you'll get 1,000's of opinions but basically, no.

    I've never cleansed etc. because it's bullhocky. Your body does it on its own constantly.
    And why am I not surprised that Dr. Oz has a detox...

    Sometimes if I am feeling particularly bloated and like I need a break (usually after a super indulgent meal or two) I will juice for a day- tons of fresh veggies and fruit, in a juicer.

    It has absolutely no benefits to my weight loss, not does it cleanse or detoxify me in any way. But after a day of juicing, I feel back to normal.
