    curious as to what toxins this cleanse will get rid of that your body does not detox on its own? Can you please name one?

    I've done juicing before in general, for about 1-2 weeks and lost 6-7 lbs.
    It's hard at first, but you adjust and definitely see results with not only weight loss but
    also in how you feel and look. I might do it again to crush my plateau and flush toxins :)

    you realize that your body flushes toxins on its own, right?

    Sometimes I use Juice Plus golf balls, but they don't detox anything, they just have a nice feel around the green and good spin off the irons.

    Just out of curiosity, are your liver, kidneys, and bowels not functioning properly? Or does money just burn a hole in your pocket?

    When I have excess money to blow, I buy stuff like running shoes and real food. But that's just me. I'm wasteful like that.

    Tell me more about toxins

    Totally in for the kick-*kitten* comments, crushing of spirits, and the "Don't confuse me with facts - tell me the stupid and costly thing I am about to do is ok!" responses.

    I was not aware that we are supposed to "support" every horrible idea on put on the forums...

    If you want to waste your money, then please be my guest..

    What are you doing is completely unnecessary as your body is already getting rid of the "toxins"

    I don't mind science, what I don't appreciate is peoples judgement and rude comments.

    All I wanted to know is if people had a success with this not peoples opinion on how I spend my money.

    then the answer is no because your body already detoxifies itself...

    See this, this is why you're getting pushback. You already made up your mind, and no amount of sense will talk you out of it, now you just want a bunch of strangers on the net to reaffirm your poor decision. Not going to happen, many of us have had success, and many have tried the magic detox and cleanses. You're getting solid advice from experienced people, THAT IS SUPPORTIVE, now you're getting uppity because we aren't patting you on the back for a poor choice. Get over yourself and listen to those who have been there, done that, or embrace failure.

    I've had much success with the Eat What I Want In Moderation diet.

    Give it a shot!

    You got your answer 4 post down. Your body flushes toxins on it's own so there can't be anymore success than what you are already getting.

    Juice Plus is not the same as juicing. It's a supplement.

    OP, I used it for awhile. I saw absolutely no benefit from it and lost no weight while using it. I lost weight because I ate at a calorie deficit. I did however lose a lot of money while using it.

    My mom has a buddy who sells Juice Plus. She has made very clear that it is in NO way a weight loss supplement. It's a way to get in extra vitamins and minerals that you could be deficient in if you didn't get the S.A.D. amount of fruits and veggies in your diet. It's not supposed to flush out toxins. It's not supposed to kick start weight loss. It's not an appetite suppressant. It's not a meal replacement. It's just vitamins made from fruits and veggies.

    Honestly, save the money and buy real fruits and veggies. Shop around the outside perimeter of the grocery aisle for this effect.

    Or eat pizza. Whatever.

    You will shortly get hated on by many! Beware!!

    I don't juice, "cleanse" or whatever, but search on this site and if I were you, don't ck this particular thread again bc you'll just be all upset or angry bc of what you'll read.

    Good luck!!

    Oh no!! the dreaded "S" word!! - carefull you might be banned for using it!!

    Do you mean science like these articles,

    or bro-science: " I had a friend who lost "X" lbs in "Y" days doing this awesome juice diet..." Without the rest of story.. it was all water weight and they gained it back within "A" days after.

    Navyrigger, Thanks you for your comments and I would love to hear people success with their weight loss.

    My mind has not been made up thats why I asked if people had has success so them who havent can explain why.

    My post was not put up by a stupid women wanting everyone on here to tell me its a miracle diet and to go for it, I wanted general responses to help me make the decision not smart *kitten* responses from people telling me about how I plan to waste my money.

    If you knew anything at all about science you wouldn't be in here asking about juice fasts

    Not only that, but "success" needs to be properly defined here. If you think "success" is losing water weight and possibly some muscle, then yeah, it will work. If you want it to mean successful long term FAT loss, no it wont.

    it's simple. You don't buy weight loss. Juiceplus is yet another pyramid scheme that tries to suck people in to paying for a bottle of expectations.

    problem is, you buy them, don't lose weight... but that distributor still has your money.

    there is no reason to believe that your body doesn't detox itself. That was already answered a few posts in. No reason to get snippy about any of this.

    "Smart *kitten*" comments didn't begin until you started flinging sass, if I'm reading this thread correctly. Lots of good advice in here, though.

    If someone rubs you the wrong way, just let it roll right off of you. No reason to be so defensive.
