Dr Oz 3 Day Detox

I just completed the Dr Oz 3 day Detox and feel great! I lost 7.5 lbs, I am full of energy, my skin is healthier looking as well as my hair! I did not drink the 'snack' drink in the afternoon as I was just too full from the other 3 daily drinks. I also added a tablespoon of Chia seeds to each of the 3 drinks.

So you lost 7.5lbs averaging 8750 calorie deficit a day? We know it's not fat weight, but did you know that?

Drink a lot of water, cut down sodium and start eating for life, not to diet. If you're just starting out, you'll drop a lot of water weight the first couple weeks, and that should give you the "boost" you're looking for. Just expect it to slow down, and don't rush the process. It can be frustratingly long if you're doing it right, but it'll be longterm. (BTW, I tried Dr. Oz's 7 day clean eating diet almost a year ago - it worked and I felt amazing. It wasn't because of his magic combination of foods though - it was because I was eating COMPLETELY clean. I didn't need magic smoothies or supplements - just healthy food.) :flowerforyou:

honestly, everything is trial and error. Obviously not everything works for every person. Its like Church, it dont help everyone and there tons of different religions. A person has to do what they feel comfortable with. If you REALLY want to try...do it and see how YOU feel about it. If it makes YOU feel better overall, they its positive for you. If not, then you tried and KNOW it dont work for YOU. Not everyone can work out in the mornings and i have seen fat vegitarians.

i can promise you this...everyone on here who was once fat and not fit did not get that way over night and they did not get that way without trial and error and time invested.

The problem with people is that when they get hot and sexy, their attitudes change.

I came here because i was thinking about detox also...nope i dont eat perfect every single day and no im not using this as weight lose but working in a clinic i hear from medical professionals that its ok to do it maybe once or twice a year...if it helps you feel better do it once or twice a year...if not..then dont.

I have read through most of these comments and it seems like alot of you dont like Dr Oz or doing a clense? I did see one lady post a three day type diet with food which i wrote down for after I do the clense I can start on this to get me where i need to be. I have learned that maybe I wont be posting advice on here lol lol......j/k you all have very valid points but like some of the posts most clenses, diets, working out etc is not the same for everyone, like I despise Cardio but I have to do it lol!!
Keep up the good work everyone I am new to this fitness pal thing and hopefully I can post stuff to help also.
Have a great day!!!!

I'm on Day 2 of the detox and it's going pretty well. The breakfast and dinner smoothies are pretty good. I do not like the lunch smoothie- I think it's the cucumber taste. I miss chewing lol but I have to say, besides the caffeine headache on Day 1, it's been okay. I REALLY MISS COFFEE- tea just isn't cutting it! The smoothies are really filling and each meal makes a lot! I don't feel like anyone really needs a cleanse, however, I wanted a jumpstart on eating healthier and thought this would help get me motivated. So far, so good!

Just don't quit. Those natural veggies are great for you. If I did it all over again, I would have stuck with my Vitamix and not even juiced, but it is what it is. When you are ready, get with a dietician. Avoid fast food, processed food and too much sodium. Let them work out a meal plan eating real food, not boxed precooked food and check in with your doctor for blood work to make sure all is going well.

so full of ****....well doing the cleanse you won't be full of ****....just eat better and exercise no need to try rhe crazy doctors crazy methods.

For me personally, I can't just start eating right, or else I would have three years ago when I got fat. Doing a few days of something like a cleanse, completing it and saying "Ok, I did that like nothing. Why can't I force myself to eat better on the regular?"

It's not a harmful detox. It's full of fresh fruit and veggies and has more than my recommended calorie intake daily.

Kudos to those who can wake up one day and change so easily. Please remember that people on here come here to feel better about themselves and for support - you can say what you want to say without belitting anybody. I'm sure you all would hope for the same, especially on day 3 of your journey.

Honestly, it just sounds like you're not ready to make a lifestyle change. You say that you can't just start eating right...but that is what you HAVE to do. So whether you do a cleanse first really makes no difference in the large scheme of things. If you aren't ready, you're not ready. It's okay. But don't kid yourself into thinking that 3 days of juicing and smoothie-making will make you ready.
