Has anyone tried Jillian Michaels detox and/or diet pills?

I'm thinking about getting the detox/cleanse pills tonight. I've been feeling bloated and I'm going to give it a try. I've been reading the Reviews on gnc.com and not many people are happy about it. I don't know what to do... SMH

After seeing your post, I went and checked out the reviews. Bottom line - it is not a product for weight loss. You may feel less bloated due to the process but that's about it. It's a pretty expensive product to not seem a long term, lasting result. In my opinion, you are best to just try to eat right and within your calories and exercise and save your money. If you think you need something for your bowels, try those probiotic yogurts. They work great!!

If I had to guess, I would say Jillian Michaels, though a great inspiration, did not get a degree in pharmacology and create these pills herself. First, ask yourself why you want to take "detox" pills. If it is because you want to lose weight, forget it. Spend a week and eat little fat and lots of salads, vegetables, and less salt. What you will see is that the detox pills will tell you to drink a ton of water. You can do that without taking pills. This will make you pee alot, but not necessarily "detoxify" you. Also with lots of water comes decreased sodium in your body, so you may feel less bloated than usual. If you want to detox to "feel better on the inside," I would suggest committing to a very healthy, high fiber, reduced calorie, sodium and red meat-intake diet...track your food habits in a journal, and compare your feelings about your body with your dietary habits.

Last bit about the fat burners, the main ingredients in lots of those pills are caffeine. This is considered a major factor in "burning fat" because caffeine, as everyone knows, helps you do more exercise because you literally are more awake and energetic to do so. My suggestion:save the money and have a cup of (black) coffee with your balanced breakfast (but be sure to drink lots of water throughout the day and eat lots of veggies and vary the colors...the more colors the more vitamins!)

I am currently taking Jillian's 14 Day Detox/Cleanse and Fat Burn. Today is day 7 for me and I honestly like the product. I did not take the product with the expectations to drop a bunch of weight. I have been feeling super heavy and EXTREMELY bloated, and sluggish lately. After 7 days of just taking the detox/cleanse pills my stomach feels so much better. I am not bloated and I do not feel heavy after I eat.

I am sure that alot of people will have different results. I like it because it doesn't work as a laxative and have you running to the bathroom every ten min. You do pee alot but I am sure that is with the increase of water you are supposed to be drinking with the product.

I am a little nervous about the next 7 days, I do not like taking fat burners or things of that nature, but I am going to give it a shot. I got my kit from walmart for $28, I would suggest that you try it if you are looking for a cleanse and not expecting to drop a bunch of weight. I am pretty sure there is a money back guarantee.

Started Friday evening and now it's Monday morning, don't really feel like it's making much of a difference. I can have a BM 2 maybe 3 times a day. Have never really done a detox/cleanse before so I don't have anything to compare it to. On a good note I don't feel sick or anything.

I just got this for $19 and was worried it would act like a laxitive, but my mind is at ease after reading this post.

I'll begin by stating, I purchased the product for the "detox" purposes only... no delusion of weight loss. I wasn't willing to spend a hefty price for anything of the sort, but was interested in how a detox would help in the over all well being of oneself. When I found the kit on sale for $19.99 I grabbed it. Now, I am a very "regular" individual, I run like clockwork twice per day, everyday, (sometimes 3) and I must say it's a very happy existence to have a bowel system that works so perfectly. Everything that goes in, goes out. This has never been an issue of mine, both when I was a fit person, and now while I'm trying to get back to being a fit person. The times when I've been sick I've come to realize how aweful it can be to be irregular or experience the ever dreaded 'runs'. For this reason I was concerned that this product may have a side-effect of laxitive effect as that was certainly not something I needed, but that was about it. I am on day 7 currently, and have not pooped in any particularly gratifying manner in 7 days. My 7:30am constitutional is non-existent. When I do poop, somewhere in the region of 12 PM it is not satisfying and leaves me still feeling like... pardon the pun, 'crap'. I don't see a change in peeing either, I pee pretty regularly anyway since I drink a lot of water. I don't feel bloated, but I don't think I ever did. I've felt no particular change in energy or anything else. Nothing is happening, literally. I feel the same as when I came of the morphine after my second knee surgery which caused days without pooping. I suspect this product may be better suited to someone who maybe doesn't have a particularly 'well-oiled machine' in the first place. As for me: Not fun, not good, highly unenjoyable. This can't be healthy. I'm irritable and annoyed.

4 years ago I lost 96 pounds in 6 1/2 months taking her diet pills with exercise and good eating habits too. I had no side effects and felt so energized. Since then I have put on about 70 of the pounds do to medication I was put on. Am trying them again now that the meds are controlled and have lost 6 pounds in 4 days along with exercise and eating well. Energy levels are back up and am feeling great.
