How long should a cleansing be done for?
I have never tried it before but I was thinking of doing one before I focus on my real diet

    We're on a cistern so I try to keep my showers to 5 minutes or less to conserve.

    Oh wait, you mean the magical cleanse for the insides that removes all the impurities and toxins? That shouldn't be done at all. Your body is fabulous at cleansing itself. Eat lots of veggies, drink lots of water and whoosh, all the cleansing is done!

    I agree.

    God did good when he created us; our bodies are self-cleansing.

    A good colon cleanse can take 12 - 18 hours, though there may be residual affects for a day or so after.

    Why do you think this would be beneficial? What are you hoping to accomplish?

    Cleansing? Why? And diet? Why a diet? Just start eating well, logging, operating at a calorie deficit etc. And start NOW.

    I had a really effective cleanse once that purged all the bad stuff from my system and then some. I believe it was called "Food Poisoning". Let me tell you that there is no product out there that is as good at cleaning out your system as your body is.

    Why don't you just ignore the cleanse... since it's really a waste of time and money.

    As long as you poop, pee, and have liver/kidneys, you're gonna be just fine.

    Skip the cleanse and go for the baby food diet instead. That food is DESIGNED for undeveloped cleansing systems!

    PS: NOT SERIOUS

    I've heard you are supposed to lather the soap on your hands long enough to sing "Happy Birthday." And use hot water, for crying out loud.

    Can we just fast forward this thread 3 pages to the "why is everyone so mean/rude" part and call it a day?

    I take about a 10 minute shower.

    I have organs to clean out my insides so no extra cleansing is necessary.

    OP is male. He won't resort to such histrionics.

    I love everyone's unhelpful answers! I would do a week cleanse of fruits and veggies if you are just trying to reset before you change your lifestyle. There are a lot of good ones online, you just need to find one that works for you.
