I am starting a 21 day cleanse and dextox next week - All the meals are planned out and it is not a starvation cleanse but one that eliminates all the toxins in your body - it is eating mostly Vegan for the 21 days. Anyone ever done this before - seeking advice - thanks

    What toxins are you specifically looking to cleanse?

    Your body does a pretty good job by itself, which is why we poop and pee.

    Cleansing is mostly hype. There is no real benefit to it, unless you are the author of the particular cleanse.

    You can detox your body by increasing your water intake. You can incorporate a simple 24 hour fast. You can cut out processed foods and eat only organic. All of them will be easier than committing to a 21 day detox.

    I incorporate 24 hour fasting in to my regime. It gives me all of the benefits that you are looking to do in the detox. Plus, it is so easy to do. Look up ESE or any other fasting book.

    Do some research on the cleanse you chose and then research the toxins that are supposed to be removed. You might be surprised that your body is already doing the job for you.

    Don't do it? You don't need to detox. That's what your digestive organs are for.

    Have you tried the breast milk cleanse? I've heard it provides amazing results.

    Your kidneys totally do this for you already.

    Iif you eat food, you are going to consume toxins. Many vegetables contain low levels of toxins even if they are raised in an environment free of man-made toxins (which is pretty difficult). That's why we have organs to deal with the toxins.

    But there is nothing wrong with trying to lower the amount of toxins you consume, and nothing wrong with eating mostly vegetables as long as you are getting proper nutrition.

    Good luck.
