Waste of time and in some cases money. Just start doing your lifestyle changes.0

they can totally jumpstart you into a new lifestyle, just make sure you don't go overboard. they don't serve any purpose beyond what eating a "clean" diet would do for you, but for many folks a cleanse is easier to jump into than immediately eating 80-90% clean, but while you're on the cleanse (well, really by the end of it) you'll feel really damn great, and you'll want to keep that feeling, which may help keep you motivated to eat well.
but there's a gradient. there are useful short, non-ridiculous cleanses where you still eat real food, and there are terrible, month long juice fasts that are anything but healthy. just do your research, and choose something short and sweet that doesn't sound completely terrible to do. the longest "cleanse" i've ever done was three days and I still ate about 1000 cal/day. you don't need to go crazier than that.0 -
I've done the advocare cleanse and I loved it!0

They serve psychological purposes, not much else.

Whatever you hear about the benefits of cleansing or detoxing is a sales pitch not science. The only thing likely to be cleaned out is your wallet0

Cleanses and detoxes are not necessary. If you eat properly your digestive system and kidneys will do their job.0

Fasting/ cleansing/ detox although new to this part of the world is something that is practiced around the world for many reasons (mostly religious) and all the time, it's generally a discipline. I'm not opposed to cleansing/ detox and I've done everything from the Lemonade (extreme cleansing) to Clean diets (light cleansing) for various reasons (mostly to purge my body of any excess toxins and too give it a "break" especially when I've eaten too many processed foods) and I have to say I've never felt better, but I've never done them to lose weight, I feel like if you're goal is to lose weight then your best bet is diet and exercise because cleansing will only rid your body of water weight and the second you start to incorporate food into your lifestyle you will gain it right back. My advice is to limit your processed foods intake, sugars and try to eat organic as often as possible to jump start your diet. You will see better, long term results then you would cleansing for a couple of days and feel as good as you would from fasting. Hope this helps!0

It's not really a cleanse, but I used the Scarsdale diet for 2 weeks to jumpstart my weight loss. I loved it. It was easy to follow and I lost 8 pounds in the first week. Yes, most of that was water weight, but seeing the scale actually move has helped me stay motivated in the following weeks. After my 2 weeks on Scarsdale, I continued to follow the example of the diet, but I relaxed the rules a bit.0

I would say just skip the cleanse and just start eating a healthy balanced diet, drinking water, and exercising regularly.
That has both physiological and psychological benefits as well.0 -
I've done Jay Robb's 3 day fruit flush - its very light and you drink lots of water and eat healthy - basically it helps you to cut down on the processed foods cravings when you are done.0

Yeah, but it's not a "science" like he's trying to infer it to be.0 -

Excellent question and answers... I was wondering the EXACT same thing.
I think I'll pass on the detox/cleanse/juice fast and stick to as much raw/organic I can afford.
I have heard that consuming Chia seeds and aloe are good for removing toxins in your colon. Any thoughts?0 -

^^^This! Best way to start your knew lifestyle off on the right path - go grocery shopping and stock up on all kinds of yummy nutritious healthy foods and forget about cleanses!0 -
I love John Cleese I agree go with the Cleese. He has the best dead pan humor.0

FLATBELLY detox & diet. it is HEALTHY foods.

I just wanted to throw this out there and see what people thought. I read a lot on here about how cleanses and detoxes are hooey. I don't, personally, subscribe to the idea that they are complete hooey. I get that our kidneys, liver, colons, etc. are the mechanisms designed by nature to "cleanse" our bodies – but are those organs not designed by nature to cleanse us of things we were biologically meant to ingest, digest and expel? Unfortunately, may people put things into their mouths that are so highly processed and chemically engineered I have a very hard time fathoming the idea that our nature-made livers are capable of processing those things completely and without incident. I don't purchase or partake in any detox/cleansing products per say, but I do make sure I eat as close to a natural, whole and unprocessed diet as possible, add foods and nutrients with cleansing properties to boost my body's natural abilities naturally and guzzle water. For whatever that's worth, I feel fantastic.0

Nope. The five basic requirements for a field to be considered scientifically rigorous: clearly defined terminology, quantifiability, highly controlled experimental conditions, reproducibility and, finally, predictability and testability.

Wanting to do something else before you started eating and exercising better is what got you overweight to begin with.
Don't put it off any longer. Start today.0 -
