I feel like I need a kickstart to the new year since I've fallen behind a little (a lot) in the past months. Do you guys know of anything that isn't horrific or include a lot of ingredients/ easy easy recipes since I'm on a tight budget? What has your experience been with these sorts of things?

    You don't need to detox, your body naturally does it. It's just a gimmick that has been created by the fitness community to get you to buy more crap.


    Aim for 40-50g of fiber a day, if you want, set your macro's to 25/50/25 (c/p/f) and set a moderate calorie deficit - 1lb per week and eat 50% of your exercise calories. After a month or as you feel tired, slowly increase your carbs and decrease your protein intake.

    I'm drinking water with fresh squeezed lemon all day today...and for the rest of the week to clean out my system. It works like a charm and is cheapo. You don't need those pills and powders. Drink water..eat some raw foods...it will happen naturally.

    I am going to just start eating clean...lean protein, lots of fruits and veggies. For my body because dairy and bread are not the best, I am going to eliminate them for about a week and then introduce them back in.

    Ugh. I was sick for a week and lost 8 lbs, only gained 2 back and have kept the 6 off and it has been over a month and a half now.
    Works but I don't recommend it! :)

    I thnk GNC has some kind of week long cleanse thing involving vitamins. Maybe inquire about that.
