Most effective cleanse?

Time out.
Can someone remind me what it is a cleanse purports to cleanse?
Yeah, I know, "toxins"...
...but can someone name even ONE of these toxins that are cleansed by a cleanse that aren't otherwise cleansed by the body regardless?
Just one? Please?
Thanks.
No kidding. I've been waiting for someone to answer this question in dozens of cleanse threads. Beyoncé and Gwyneth Paltrow cleanse and swear by it, though so it must be necessary.0 -
Street food in Delhi.......done in a fraction of the time too.0

My stance isn't about being meatless at all, my stance is that juicing is a viable choice for a cleanse, and it is possible to get all the nutrients one needs from it. It IS true that you have to plan your diet (I'm using diet as in what a person habitually eats, not as in restriction of foods to lose weight) out to make sure you're getting your nutrients - I don't see how you can argue with that, but whatever. I don't have little fancy titles in bold under my comments on here, and I never studied nutrition at a University, but I'm subjectively researching my food choices every day. So screw you.You know what? You win. I give up. I bet you still haven't been to the website I suggested. I bet you still haven't seen the documentary I'm referencing. It would make since for you to check it out since you're talking about all the research you do, but you probably know everything about it all ready so why bother? My information was appropriate for the question asked. That's what the point was anyway. I almost wish I had never replied to you.
And it's good for you to reply. You might actually learn the truth. I did. At one time I believed in a lot of the BS the fitness/diet industry purported as truth only to find out that lots of it is broscience. And don't you want to learn about truth?

You were being polite I guess, but kind of a polite douchy know it all, which is why I got mad. I'll do my own research instead of just taking your word for truth. I'm not some naive person who's had the wool pulled over my eyes by evil juicing scammers - which you seem to think I am.
Fat sick and nearly dead doesn't promote juicing for cleansing the body. That's why I'm still not sure you've looked into it much. You don't seem to know what the main point of the film/website is. I guess I should have mentioned that I'm not super into cleanses and don't really believe the hype about them detoxing the body. The main guy and the guy he inspired both had a complete life change because of juicing. They got rid of all their medications! Obviously it did them some good. That's why I thought the person who posted this should check it out - it'd be a great experience.
I am interested in finding alternate opinions of fat sick and nearly dead (peer reviews knocking juicing doesn't count. I'm looking for things specific to this documentary) So hit me up with some links if you've got them to share.
Also, you should look into T Colin Campbell PhD and Caldwell B Esselstyn's work. Reading back through our exchange I noticed you mentioned eating quite a bit of protein (just under 200gs a day I think I read?). I haven't completely researched it yet, but the few things I've read (especially the work of the doctors I mentioned above) comment on maybe having less protein in our diets. This is just a suggestion for you to look into, though! Like I said, I haven't really looked too far into it yet.0 -

Consider that if your preference is a plant based diet, as I've mentioned it's fine and sustainable to live off of. But you'd be hard pressed to prove that diets with animal products can't be part of a healthy diet. Most of the feedback I'm getting from you is that your approach to diet is just that of plant based only which biases you toward it. Again that would be a subjective and not objective point of view.

I don't think that plant based is the only way. I haven't said that once - I don't even feel that I've implied it. It has nothing to do with cleansing or this feed at all. I just mentioned I follow it and get enough protein and fat from it. I am biased towards it because it works for me. But before I chose it I researched it - Objectively. Once I did that - I decided to try it out to see how it works for me. So far so good.
You have offered me two links in your last comment - that's the first time you've given proof to your claims. Everything else has just been your word. So yeah, it seems like you just want me to take your word for truth. You say you get your information from peer reviews? Prove it and link them. Other than that I'm not really interested in what you have to say.
Suggesting that you look into how much protein you're eating opened a whole new can of worms that I'm just going to shove the lid right back on. Not really interested in talking with you about it. I'm not all about weight loss - I'm about being healthy. The choices I'm making are for my general health not specifically for weight loss. I don't feel I'm being subjective - I do my research every day. Form whatever opinion you want about me - I don't really care.
When I said "alternate opinions on Fat Sick and Nearly Dead" I meant peer reviews debunking the health benefits the documentary claims. I should have said that - sorry. I didn't realize you would latch on to the word opinion like that. Whatever you thought I meant - doesn't mean you couldn't have linked some factual peer reviews for me to read anyway. OF COURSE IT WAS THE CALORIE DEFICIT THAT CAUSED THE WEIGHT LOSS. I never said it wasn't. I do have trouble believing that it was just the weight loss that caused him to be able to go off his meds. Common sense tells me that when you switch from a poor diet to nutrient rich juice for a while you are going to have at least a few health benefits besides the weight loss.
For the record - I do have more to say on all your comments. But this going back and forth is getting us nowhere. We will just have to agree to disagree. Actually, I don't care if you agree to disagree - I just simply won't be coming back to this thread. I just want to be done with this whole thing. I stand by my douchy know it all description of you and am letting this go.0 -
