    Cleansing your body of toxins is good for your system. You can do a juice cleanse or take milk thistle, etc as an aid for your current diet. I do cleanse and I find it helps. I compare it to changing the oil in your car. Cleansing helps get rid of the junk that has accumulated in your body. Some people love it, some hate it.

    Specifically what toxins are you cleansing from your system that your liver & kidneys don't? What "junk" accumulates in your body?

    That's my question?!? What are these toxins I need to get rid of? Seriously, is there a list somewhere?

    "I'm going to shove coffee up my *kitten*"

    ^ I'd probably speak up here.

    I agree with your premise on detoxes/toxins.

    People do that?!?! I'm curious now - just dry coffee grounds or brewed?

    You need to use the whole beans. Its called Cafenima and I highly recommend it once a week. If you have a porcine toilet I suggest replacing it with a stainless steel one or go outside.

    I LOL'ed on this one. I love clever!

    Here's the thing. Overeating makes people fat, and if you are eating a lot of garbage, then toxins come along with it. So to stop the toxins, QUIT EATING GARBAGE! :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

    I share a computer at times with a coworker and she was looking up different diet pills (many that are known to cause heart problems!!!) so I showed her the MFP success stories page! :smile:

    Is it okay for me to go on a detox diet and then get those foot pad things that suck the toxins out of your body through the soles of your feet? Will it make me skinny?

    ...the only thing that gets cleansed is money from the poor sucker's wallet.

    PT Barnum was right.

    if you can sleep well at night after ripping off people all day, you can make a mint in the "weight loss business". i could never do that, but a lot of people do.

    Milk thistle is good for people with liver problems. It isn't necessary for people with a healthy liver. Also, if you have problems with your digestive system interacting with your kidneys and liver, then cat's claw is a good herb to add to milk thistle, along with dandelion root. (My hubby has Crohn's and a fatty liver, so he takes these regularly.) But for most people, nutrition and plenty of water is all that's needed.

    My manager just came back from lunch saying that she's starting a major detox tomorrow and wants one (or more) of us to join her in "getting rid of the toxins" in our bodies so we can lose weight easier together.

    Whenever I hear the word "toxins" I generally smile and nod and think to myself "ZOMG TOXINS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" because that just seems like a trigger word these days. Am I crazy? This "you've got toxins making you fat!" thing is bulls*it, right?

    Do you just smile and nod when people tell you about their crazy fad diet/detox things?

    Id smile and nod....then bring in donuts on Friday:drinker:

    No... It's what made the Power Puff Girls special. They were made with sugar, spice and everything nice, but The Professor accidentally knocked Chemical X into the mix, and got three super-powered girls.

    Do you have a reference for that?

    google it
    You made the claim. Back it up with a peer reviewed reference.

    I usually try to detox every 6 months or so to get my smack habit back down to an affordable level.

    I ask them what toxins they are talking about, and then ask if they have a functioning liver and kidneys.
