Has anyone heard of the GM 7 day cleanse? I came across it last night and after reading through it I was horrified. It doesn't seem like it's that healthy for my body...but then I read it again...and again and even though I seriously dislike tomatoes I'm considering trying this for a week.

Does anyone have any thoughts/opinions on the safety and/or potential of this?

    Honestly? This sounds like a hot mess. First of all, cleanses in general make you lose a chunk of water weight, but not much else. Secondly, this one in particular has you on several days of just fruits and veggies, which means almost NO protein, which is arguably your most important macronutrient. Overall, I'd say just stick with eating between your BMR and TDEE, exercising, and logging logging logging. In the end, the only thing that really works is changing your life.

    That's what I was thinking...I was also really concerned that it would be something that got rid of 10-17 pounds...but that those pounds would easily come back.

    Yeah I mean considering that it's not advisable to lose more than 2 lbs a week without a doctor's supervision, I can't imagine that it's either safe OR sustainable. Plus, after scrolling further and reading their section on alcohol (which contradicts itself several times and also makes no sense) I have to conclude that whoever wrote this has no idea what they're talking about, lol

    Ive heard of this as the cabbage soup diet....and I really dont see how you could lose 10-17 lb in one week...I wouldnt want to...my mom has done this diet before...she used to do diets all the time when I was a kid. She doesnt do that any more...I dont recall her losing that much weight in a week tho. That soup is good tho...(she gave use some lol) I'll ask her about her weight loss...
