I bet as soon as you come off the tea and stop doing colon cleanses you won't be able to poop normally, Take this from someone who use to take laxatives daily its not nice being able to go. Not to mention the damage it can cause.
We will see ... As I said, I wasn't regular before taking the tea (to a point where it was very uncomfortable) so it won't be any different to before. The 'temporary' relief has been well worth it for me personally.
ever heard of Purne juice?
Just something i found on the internet
Laxative abuse can result in several of the same conditions as diuretic abuse, and more:
laxative dependency
electrolyte imbalance
potassium deficiency
dehydration
painful cramps
vomiting
edema
diarrhea
constipation
gastrointestinal bleeding
anemia
increased risk of colon cancer
bowel damage
Melanosis Coli
hemorrhoids
loss of protective mucus lining the intestines, causing infection
kidney damage
fainting
dizziness
liver damage (rarely)
death
That's all the Colon cleaning tea is organic or not its still a laxative, Just something to think about
No, I havent heard of Purne Juice.
Prune Juice I have.
All I did was give my opinion to the OP, and my personal experience with the product in question. If I wanted a list of the consequences of laxative abuse (which I doubt 7 teabags causes) then I would google it myself. I don't understand why on these forums people feel the need to 'educate' people, who haven't requested it. Like the above post said it's nice to have something mild there for when you are clogged up
The reason people feel the need to educate is because this is a health and fitness site that is here to promote a healthy way of life and taking laxatives for cleansing/ weight loss is not healthy and is actually dangerous especially for the young people coming on here and for people that are trying to recover from eating disorders.0 -

if you want a good cleanse, eat about 2 lbs of these.
In all seriousness though, take pp advice about steering clear of that stuff

poop yourself tea = no good.
poop yourself tea = not a permanent fix.
eat a balanced diet. eat less than your TDEE, more than your BMR, work out. be patient.
Literally yes, i've heard so many girls shameful stories of actually losing control of their bowels because they don't understand what is actually in this 'tea' their drinking. Not only is it gross, it's overpriced and rather dangerous. Steer clear!0 -

There are no shortcuts to losing weight or getting fit. Its self control, healthy eating and exercise. Teas, detoxes etc are all money making products. I don't get why folk want to try stuff that are just a short term solution.
If you need to poop - eat foods with fibre.....if you need to pee - drink loads of water! Simple!0 -

Just thought I'd share, I personally haven't tried the skinny me tea, but was thinking about it. I've taken GNC completely body cleanse in the past and like it a lot more. I wouldn't say a cleanse is about losing weight, but kick starting a new diet or lifestyle. If your looking at a cleanse as a weight lost supplement your not going to find one. A Cleanse can actually be very beneficial right before dieting if you take the right kind. I took the GNC 14 Day complete body cleanse. And I like that it just doesn't effect the colon, it actually cleanses through the body (like the blood,liver, your digestive track as a whole)this get rid of bad toxins like excess sodium which causes bloating, and any other toxins you can get by eat unhealthy food. Most cleanses come with a clean diet nutritional plan, just to make sure your not putting any toxins in that your trying to get rid of. And as long as your not doing a harmful cleanse (Containing Senna- more than 500 mg) you should be perfectly fine.
I also suggest only doing a cleanse at the most twice and year.
If your looking for a cleanse or currently taking one I suggest adding a probiotic and multivitamin along with it.0 -
If you really want to lose weight and feel better about yourself i suggest you try Limu. Its an all natural seaweed. You could get the Limu original, chocolate and vanilla shakes, or the bluefrog all NATURAL energy drink. Again everything is natural. I started drinking the Limu original and my skin has gotten clearer, my hair and nails started growing faster, and its just givin me a boost for the day. I also drink the shakes for a meal replacement. I LOVE IT!!!!!0

I have been on the Skinny Me Teatox for about 7 days now, so half way through. I would hardly call it a "harsh laxative" as one person decribed - The tea hasn't done anything for me at least...no colon cleansing whatsoever. I do feel like have lost some some weight but this is likely due to the fact that Ive cut out bread, dairy, meat, processed foods and alcohol. I have done several other cleanses that actually do work. My favorite is the Renew Life Total Body Cleanse - You can find it at Vitamin Shoppe for about half the price at it is a much more effective option from my experience. As for Skinny Me Tea, I would recommend just following their diet plan and saving your $60. Hope this helps!0

HmmmmmT
Comparing our weight-loss is unnecessary and flatout rude. I didnt say anything about his amazinig success. I was just saying that if he was annoyed that people kept talking about this topic, than stop reading it. Plain and simple.
Why dont you mind your business.0 -
I think it wouldn't be a bad idea honestly. It will help jump start your weight loss in my opinion. It is cleaning out all that bad stuff, it is detoxing your body which I think is a good idea if you are going to start a new lifestyle with healthy foods and exercising.0

It says on their website that they removed the laxative from the tea, so it won't have that effect anymore. Just got mine in the mail yesterday. I'll let you all know if I shart.
Oh, and heres this:
BENEFITS OF A COLON CLEANSE:
When your colon is clogged or unclean, your body may not properly digest and absorb nutrients or rid your body of waste effectively (toxicity and deficiency are the only two causes of disease and cleaning your House/Body is the most precious health activity you can perform).
This lack of nutrient absorption and waste build up can put extra strain on your detoxifying organs and make you gain weight! Not to mention also impairing digestion and stressing all of the body’s systems.
One major benefit of a Colon Cleanse is the fact that you are flushing out your insides without adding anything extra to your digestive system. Your intestines are full of waste matter (10-20 pounds in some cases) that is causing extra weight and making your belly look bigger. In order to lose weight, you will find that giving your intestines a good scrub can make your tummy look flatter and reduce the amount of weight in your intestines.
The fact that you are emptying your body without refilling it contributes to keeping the weight off - for good!
The second benefit of cleansing your colon is the fact that all of the toxins that are stored in your body are being flushed out. These toxins are causing your body to retain water, which in turn causes it to retain fat. In order to keep your body functioning properly, it is vital to flush out these toxins that retain water. These same toxins also hinder your efforts to lose fat as they cause your body to run at less than optimum level.
By flushing out the toxins, you give your body a fighting chance at losing weight effectively and permanently.0 -

...again, what toxins? This is such a buzzword.0 -
I knew you would have fun with that
Toxins are extra waste buildup in your intestines from eating crappy, processed, GMO food. The purpose is to get rid of it, stop eating all of the crap, and maintain a healthy lifestyle.0 -
The whole concept of detoxification is nonsense. There's no evidence to support this conclusion. If you have a functional digestive system and kidneys, your body is already doing all the detoxification you need.0

hey now, you stop all that sense-making!The whole concept of detoxification is nonsense. There's no evidence to support this conclusion. If you have a functional digestive system and kidneys, your body is already doing all the detoxification you need.0 -
I drink a cup of Slim Tea almost every night. It's natural, no harsh stimulants and actually not marketed as a detox. It tastes great, no stimulants so it doesn't keep you up, warms my belly, fills it up a little and makes for a good night sleep, and a nice smooth morning.
Yeah, if you're eating right and drinking enough water and all that you shouldn't need to detox as the body does it for you.0 -
Science says hi.

Conclusion
Any product or service with the words “detox” or “cleanse” in the name is only truly effective at cleansing your wallet of cash. Alternative medicine’s ideas of detoxification and cleansing have no basis in reality. There’s no published evidence to suggest that detox treatments, kits or rituals have any effect on our body’s ability to eliminate waste products effectively. They do have the ability to harm however – not only direct effects, like coffee enemas and purgatives, but the broader distraction away from the reality of how the body actually works and what we need to do to keep it healthy.
“Detox” focuses attention on irrelevant issues, and gives consumers the impression that they can undo lifestyle decisions with quick fixes. Improved health isn’t found in a box of herbs, a bottle of homeopathy, or a bag of coffee pushed into your rectum. The lifestyle implications of a poor diet, lack of exercise, smoking, lack of sleep, and alcohol or drug use cannot simply be flushed or purged away. Our kidneys and liver don’t need a detox treatment. If anyone suggests a detox or cleanse to you, you’d do well to ignore the suggestion, and question any other health advice they may offer.0 -

This is just an observation of this forum:
The MAJORITY, not all, but MAJORITY of the people bashing this product or telling you how it doesn't work are people who've never tried it.
And, the MAJORITY of people vouching for it, telling you how it works wonders are people who have tried it or know someone who has tried it.
Just think about that.0 -
I will speak from personal experience using SMT tea. The loose leaf tea they give you (for everyday use) is great. The ingredients are designed to give you extra energy, boost metabolism, and suppress appetite - all great to get a jump start on your weight loss journey. I noticed that I was eating smaller portions and losing some weight from that alone, great! Now let me tell you about the colon cleanse tea. This is coming from someone who has struggled being regular for some time, but this tea is NOT the answer. I've never experienced abdominal pain to this caliber before. The pain woke me up in the middle of the night (at 4am or so). I am a heavy sleeper and it is very verrrry rare that awaken in the middle of the night. I rushed to the bathroom to try and relieve myself, but I felt nauseous, dizzy/light headed and broke into a horrible sweat. I am not exaggerating in any way - it was just as bad as leaving a hot yoga class. I thought I was going to faint. I felt as if I was trapped in my own body and could not escape. I was near tears...the pain was that bad. I do NOT recommend this colon cleanse tea as it is very harsh on your intestinal tract and very very verrrry painful. If you have epilepsy or any other condition that cannot withstand electrolyte imbalance, please refrain from use - it could trigger a horrible seizure (my sister is epileptic so I know this first hand). This will only make you lose water weight. Something like this is only (maybe) okay for 1 time use, such as Smooth Move Tea. And that is only in the instance if you are extremely backed up. Perhaps my experience was more extreme, but just wanted to share it with all of you. I hope this helps.0
-
I will also add that since I have began the colon cleanse tea, I have been spotting. I'm not sure if anyone else has noticed this same thing happening, but I find it even more of a questionable product due to this. I take my birth control pills in the evening (6pm), so perhaps it's flushing it out before my body completely absorbs it? That's my guess since the product is supposed to be consumed at night before bed. Or perhaps it's a different issue... If anyone has any insight on this, that would be helpful. Thanks.0
