    All you will lose is water weight, which you will put back on the minute you eat real food again - spend your time shopping for a flattering swim suit instead.

    7 days is not enough time to lose any significant permanent weight safely or healthily.

    This!

    I CAN'T HELP IT. IT'S LIKE I ACCIDENTLY TYPED ONE POST IN ALL CAPS BECAUSE I FORGOT MY CAPS LOCK WAS ON AND THEN I COULDN'T BEAR THE SHAME OF EVERYONE THINKING I'D ACCIDENTLY BEEN YELLING. SO I DECIDED TO MAKE ALL OF MY POSTS CAPS LOCK BECAUSE IT'S LIKE TOTALLY MY THING NOW, NO ONE HAS TO KNOW THAT IT WAS AN ACCIDENT.

    EITHER THAT OR I REALLY LIKE HOW THE INTERNET MAKES MY VOICE SOUND REALLY LOUD AND IMPORTANT.

    Andie, you are a 23 year old, lovely looking girl. Trust me when I tell you that if you continue to mess with your body, losing 4-5 pounds a week, and looking for a quick fix, you will permanently mess up your metabolism and will be in a MUCH worse state when you are 40 years old... Just eat healthy, exercise, drink water, don't drink too much alcohol, get good sleep and be kind to your body. Your 40 year old body will thank you in 17 years.

    I had the shakes pretty bad and was convinced that Peter Dinklage was following me everywhere on a tiny giraffe.

    I apologise as well as I do realise I sound like a quick fix person which I am not i am happy to do slow weight loss and I am happy with that I have also heard that detoxing is good for some parts of the body to "flush the system out" and such? I'm only curious about this and not saying I'm defiantly going to do it I just wanted to hear from people who have done them and what they thought to them.
    SO DETOX.... NOT NECESSARILY A BAD THING. SHOOT ME . BUT I GUESS IT COULD BE.IM ON A 1 MONTH BOTTLE OF BELLA VI INSANE AMPED WHICH IS AN ALL NATURAL HERBAL DIET PILL THAT OFFERS DETOXING PROPERTIES. IM NOT SURE IF ITS THE QUICK FIX U WANT. ITS REALLY HELPED ME DETOX AND REGULATE MY METABOLISM. BUUUUT ITS NOT AS INTENSE OF A DETOX AS THOSE ONES YOU DRINK TO POOP ALL DAY THE NEXT DAY. BUT FOR THE FIRST FEW DAYS WHEN I DID POTTY IT WAS SEMI SOLID AND QUITE A BIT. THT LASTED 3-4 DAYS AND I WASN'T BLOATED ANYMORE. ITS AN ALL NATURAL DIET SUPPLEMENT THAT OFFERS A SMALL AMOUNT OF DETOXING PROPERTIES. I HAVE A BAD METABOLISM AND RARELY USED THE BATHROOM BUT MAYBE TWICE A WEEK. DRS PRESCRIBED ME LAXATIVES ALL THE TIME WHICH I HATED TAKING AND NEVER WORKED. NOW I HAVE A GREAT METABOLISM MY BOWEL MOVEMENTS ARE SOOO REGULAR( WHICH I'VE NEVER HAD IN MY LIFE) I GO ONCE OR TWICE A DAY. I NOTICED ITS TWICE ON DAYS WHEN I EAT A LOT OF JUNK RATHER THAN A LOT OF GOOD STUFF. I LOST 10 POUNDS WITH THESE PILLS BUT KEEP IN MIND I EAT WELL AND WORKOUT WELL. I NEVER TRIED THOSE OTHER DETOXES . THIS WAS MY FIRST ONE. I LOST FIVE POUNDS THE FIRST WEEK AND A HALF, WATER WEIGHT OR NOT I LOST 3 INCHES AND I KEPT UP WITH IT. SO FAR I'VE LOST ABOUT 7 INCHES ON IT . I EAT HEALTHY , WORKOUT , WEIGHT TRAIN AND IM IN GREAT HEALTH WITH GREAT BLOOD PRESSURE AND DOIN BETTER THEN EVER IN MY LIFE. IT GAVE ME THE BOOST AND CLEANSE I NEEDED. YOU CAN GOOGLE IT. ITS NOT THAT POPULAR BUT IT IS ON LINE. IT WAS 30 BUCKS

    There is so much NO here I think I am going to put out my eyes.

    ETA You are a NURSING STUDENT and don;t have a problem with what you are typing? SERIOUSLY?!

    Not going to lie, I can't read posts in all caps. I'm assuming you said that when cleansing stick with lemon and cayanne pepper in water for 10 days. To boost that, buy pills online or from a street dealer. Ignore the lightheaded feeling. If you feel you're going to pass out, eat a spoonful of molasses.

    Since I respect your opinion, I think that is what I'm going to do for the next 10 days. Thanks!

    :laugh: :flowerforyou:

    ETA: I came here because I thought it was going to be about detoxing from booze. I don't even know why I thought that, this isn't my first day here.

    AHEM I DIDNT BUY THEM ONLINE, JUST SAID THAT THEY ARE.THIS MONTH WAS MY FIRST AND LAST TIME DOING IT I JUST NEEDED A BOOST WHILE I TRAINED MY BODY TO BETTER HEALTH HABITS. DOESNT HURT MY FEELINGS THOUGH. IM DOING FANTASTIC :) .

    SNAKE OIL DOESN'T CHANGE JUST BECAUSE YOU BOUGHT IT FROM A DIFFERENT SELLER. PERSON TO PERSON TRANSACTION, SUCH AS IN A GNC OR OTHER COMPARABLE DRUG STORE, DOES NOT MAGICALLY TURN PILLS INTO MIRACLES IN THE BODY.

    YOU WOULD BE BETTER OFF LEARNING A REASONABLE DIET WITHOUT USING EXPENSIVE CRUTCHES. YOU BUILD BETTER HABITS FASTER THAT WAY.

    WHAT?!!?!?

    Are you imagining Peter Dinklage on a tiny giraffe? Isn't it adorable? The first time I saw it I chased him through a Kmart trying to cuddle him, but the giraffe was really fast and now I have to shop at Target

    OK. you asked for advice from people who have done them. I'm your girl.

    I have went to a "detox spa" where I drank nothing but green juice 1x a day for a week, I've tried the pills, teas, shake gimmicks, you name it. Wanna know what happened? I lost weight. Water weight. And as SOON as I would start eating like a human again, the weight would pile back on within a week or two.

    Did I "detox" anything? NO
    Did I lose "weight"? yes, temporary scale weight
    How did I feel every time afterward? Dumb and disappointed

    Save yourself the trouble and do it the right way. A way that is maintainable, and wont set you up for disappointment.
    BE KIND TO YOUR BODY!!

    Get a Body Wrap at a Spa. They can be pricey, around $100, but you will lose a few inches everywhere, but especially belly fat. You could possibly drop a dress size. The Wrap is temporary. Once you let salt into your diet all the fluid comes back on. It is a very good detox as well.
    I tried the 3 day fast. It takes fluid off as well but I was very hungry the entire time and would not repeat the experience or recommend it to any one.

    I have to say that it wasn't an adorable mental picture for me. For me it was kind of Narnia-ish or Lord of the Rings-ish and he may or may not have been wielding a tiny sword. Also, there might have been some slo-mo going on. And the giraffe was fierce. I don't know. Maybe.

    I'm sorry. I cannot believe that an adult actually posted "when I did potty" in this thread, and in capitals. I am currently punching myself in the face repeatedly, and will not stop until I am dead.

    I have officially lost the will to live.

    Another gem. This thread is saving my night. Someone seriously ticked me off tonight. So much so that my husband pushed a glass of bourbon into my hand. These comments are making the Hulk in me go away. Thank you, internet strangers.

    With my 1200 calorie goal from here I am averaging at around 4 - 5 pound loss per week this detox is literally only to loose weight fast I fully understand I will put it back on and I'm not too bothered about that, I have lost 19 pounds in total already and was hoping if I detoxed that I would only put back that detox weight back on plus maybe a couple of pounds extra? But I'm not sure as iv never done one b 4?

    you don't actually lose weight though, just water. it is physically impossible to lose a significant amount of fat in that amount of time. detoxes are pointless. cut down your sodium, drink lots of water. that will help with water weight.

    ETA: oh wait, is your profile pic current? if so and you are eating 1200 calories and losing 4-5 pounds a week and think that is healthy... then nothing we say is going to dissuade you from other silliness like detoxes. 4-5 pounds a week IS FAST even for someone with a lot of weight to lose, and if you think you need to do something to go faster... just no. no x 1000.

    You're going on my Do Not Kill list
  • I recently did a 3 day detox because I had hit my 3rd plateau. The detox still had me on a 1200 calorie a day intake. I lost 9 lbs in 3 days. However it was mostly water weight. After the detox I put back on 4 lbs. The detox helped me get over my plateau though and Now I'm losing weight consistently again. I wouldn't suggest it as a quick fix though. Since you won't actually see real measurement changes just scale changes. Plus those 3 days were the worst 3 days of my life.

    No it's fine. Most of the people on that list are dead.

    It's more like a "done" pile.
