I've never ever ever done one before...but my husband really wants to do one and I've wanted to for a long time also. Any suggestions cause I know nothing about them!?

    My thoughts are: if your going to do a cleanse, do a parasite cleanse. This way it will rid your body of any unwelcome visitors and restore the good flora that will help your internal organs process better.

    I've read in a lot of places that plain fruit shakes first thing in the morning is a great cleanser. I had already had that a few times and didn't know that's what it was doing. I used one cup of blueberries, one cup of strawberries, and one cup of pineapple. Nothing else. and lots and lots of water throughout the day! That's the only bit of advice I have on that. Plus, blueberries are FANTASTIC for you.

    I kicked off my new eating routine with a "detox" diet called the Fat Smash Diet. A friend of mine that is a nutritionist recommended it. You can google it to find the details. It's much more healthy than some of those crazy ones you hear about that are super restrictive. This one seems to get your body working efficiently and get the junk out and depending on how you eat currently, it may not be that different from your normal diet. It really helped retrain my tastebuds to break craving habits. I've stuck with the principles of it for the last year and a half now and I totally don't feel like I'm restricting myself.

    A lot of cleansing is all just losing water weight, so you think you're losing weight.

    One that helps w/ getting rid of toxicity is the cranberry detox but don't do it for the sake of losing weight, it's a wrong mindset to do it for that sake.

    If you do a cleanse, choose a gentle one. And don't do it for quick weight loss, it won't last. I did the Master Cleanse last year and passed out after the 5th day. I would recommend drinking fresh fruit and vegetable juices for at least 3 days. You will definitely feel a difference.

    your liver and kidneys do all the cleansing you really need. I promise your marvelous body is doing a great job, there are no poisons to remove through a "detox". Increase your water and your fiber and you will be super. Promise!
