    This got a lot of attention when celebs swore by this as a quick method to expel a bunch of waste fast. It is not something you should be doing long term, in fact I would suggest seeking the opinion of a medical professional before pursuing, all kidding aside.

    Having said that, my wife and I tried this before and I only lasted a few days (the SWF -- Seasalt Water Flush -- was literally crap). She lasted about a week and while we both noticed subtle changes it didn't replace simple healthy choices everyday and a little discipline. We still enjoy all of our "treats" and we balance that with a dedicated exercise routine that changes constantly.

    There is definitely no silver bullet, but do whatever works for you.

    I know that it's only a television show, but I remember what happened to Kelly on The Office when she tried it. Check out this video:

    Hahha I love The Office:heart:

    When i started my weight loss I did the water cleanse . . .
    I lasted for 24 hours went and had a bowl of french fries, a bowl of rice, 2 bars of snickers, a packet of honey peanuts, A cone of Butterscotch ice-cream and a double cheese burger and some more fries:noway: :noway: :noway:

    I am not joking . . . I could have beaten a gorilla in an eating match . . .I was psycho hungry . . . I could have beaten that guy in 'Man v/s Food'

    SO personally i don't think it's a good idea.
    All of the other guys stop being mean . . . it's a question and she's curious. Sometimes we try and grab at anything that will help us lose weight fast and with all the media hype around these unhealthy diets and also celebrities endorsing them it's but natural for people to wanna try them.

    I'd say stick to your daily calorie goal, exercise hard and drink lots of water . . . not only will you get there . .you'll feel awesome about your achievement :flowerforyou:

    I don't mean about using it as a diet or a road to weight loss, I'm talking more about cleaning out my liver and kidneys. Is there any stock in all the press we hear about doing a juice cleanse for 3 days-ish to clean out your system?

    Why would you want to. That just sounds incredibly terrible.

    Your liver and kidneys do a perfectly good job on their own - they do not need 'cleaning' out.

    Your organs do your cleansing for you.

    That's what your organs are for. Why do people willingly sign up for the screaming sh*ts? I have never once woken up and thought things aren't shooting out my booty rapidly enough I think I'll drink some crazy crap for a week.

    Lots of water and clean, healthy foods! Avoid the processed crap, stick with veggies, proteins and whole grains.
    Initial weightloss might be stagnant while your body adjusts, but you'll start losing water weight and then it should drop pretty regular if you're sensible, stay within your calorie range and exercise.
    Took a while to put it on...gonna take a while to get it off.

    Hollywood/Celebs= big bucks cosmetic surgery, nutritionists, personal trainers, personal chefs....and whatever else money can buy...and a lot of tabloid bull crap! About as real as Tinkerbell!

    Sounds like that concoction has the same end result (no pun intended) as the liquid they give you for colonoscopy prep.
    Blech mine was lemon and by the end of the prep you just have to gag it down.

    I learned years ago to drink a warm cup of lemon water every morning, and that's just warm water and a few Tbls of lemon, nothing else...
    Yes it's a good cleanser of fat etc... and with that you just eat like you regularly do, healthy :0)
    This just helps you along your journey to weight loss...
    I will sometimes make my "Hobo" lemonade which is glass of ice water, fresh lemon or lemon juice, and a little bit of sweet-n-low, the lemon still helps on the cleansing...

    Haha, I do hobo lemonade, too! But I don't drink it for cleansing or anything like that - usually it's when I'm at a restaurant and I don't want to spend $3 on a stupid glass of iced tea that they'll never get back around to refill anyway. :grumble:
