    1. Eliminate the following from your diet: alcohol, refined sugars, wheat/gluten-containing grains, dairy, any processed foods. These are the foods most commonly known to trigger food allergies, which can leave you feeling puffy. Do this for three weeks.

    BY ELIMINATING GRAINS, ALCOHOL AND SUGARS, YOU GIVE YOUR LIVER A "BREAK" SO IT CAN FOCUS ON DETOXING YOUR BODY AND REPAIR ITSELF.

    2. Drink only water, green tea and ginger herbal tea: no coffee, diet sodas, anything like that. Make sure you drink filtered or mineral water.

    3. This may seem counter-intuitive, but eat more protein. Just stick to wild fish, chicken breasts, and other lean sources.

    Thank You!!

    I use the AdvoCare Herbal Cleanse every three months to detox.

    Are your liver and kidneys broken?

    well...if her/HIS kidneys dont work the OP would be on dialysis and if the liver dosnt work...the OP would be dead!! ..either way...not a good prognosis!!

    Was not meant as a prognosis...I was asking because if those are not broken...then why not use them?

    Ah the detox, the 21st century version of using leeches to suck out disease-causing evil spirits.

    OUT for leaches, but if we are bringing back old-fashioned treatments, I might have to start having symptoms of "hysteria".

    IN so I can follow this thread and see if anybody else got that joke. Thank you for the evening snortle. :flowerforyou:

    No advice for detoxes here. My bod seems to handle that just fine on its own.

    I think everyone has their right to their own opinion.

    Do you seriously think that, for example, eating 1,200 calories of unprocessed, clean natural foods is just the same as eating 1,200 calories of low fat cereal bars and other processed junk? Countless studies have proven that the body digests natural foods better, and that fewer calories are extracted from lean proteins than from carbs and sugars.

    A calorie is NOT a calorie! Join the 21st century.

    Since there are countless, please post links to some of these studies.

    My liver and kidneys do an awesome job of detoxing me.

    I concur. Eat a reasonable diet and the body takes care of itself.

    Usually when I've been eating too much junk food and alcohol, I realize that my body needs fiber... So I just add some fiber to my diet (I love chia seeds on my yogurt!) and my body does the same..

    I tried once the master cleanse and my body hated me and I hated the world. Once I did a juice detox... Nothing much there... Actually, I ended up more constipated than ever! (because I had to buy the "extras" that came with the detox).

    So now for me, if I feel I've eaten too much I add some chia seeds to my breakfast, hit the gym constantly and drink more water and less soda... Magic!!

    No one should drink stagnant pond water, toilet water or water drained from a radiator.
    Otherwise, tap water is just fine (unless there's a boil water advisory).
    Eat reasonable portions of what you want. Shoot for getting your macros and micros right.
    Don't make over-indulgence a habit.
    Do this for the rest of your life.

    so you lurked on the thread until you got the reply which was what you wanted to hear?

    how about trying to find out what the truth is instead? Ya know, so you can save yourself a lot of hassle and expense avoiding so many things that are not necessary to avoid.... as in get the same (or better) results for a lot less difficulty. But anyway, your choice.

    Ugh, I hate these threads. What exactly is a "detox" anyway? And how does one measure the efficacy of said detox? How does one measure the level of "toxins" (? arsenic? mercury? what?) in the first place? How does measure the level of toxins after the "detox"?
