I mainly use my kidneys and liver for detox. However, my intestines, lungs, skin, and lymphatic system also chip in.
I don't typically believe in "detoxes", and I really don't trust anything Dr. Oz has to say. That being said, some people DO need help in detoxing their body. For instance, my dad's lymphatic system has all but shut off on him--his immune system has attacked his detox capabilities. I know this is an extreme case, but people like this do exist.
In conclusion (since I sound like I'm just spouting extraneous info), some people do very well with detoxes, but they should always be done under the supervision of your doctor, or better yet, your doctor AND a certified nutritionist.0 -
my friend is her 7th day of the 2 week detox and has lost 8 pounds...I cant recall all she eats other then fruit smoothie, brown rice, I think 6 ounces protein,,broth, veggies...etc...seems healthy...im sure mostly water loss though..she stated she feels better....Just her 2 cents!0

Is this the one you refer to?
Click the picture link if it does not show.....if that's it.....I've heard people do it as a "jump start" or "get back on track" into a lifestyle change.....but the Detox alone isn't gonna cause any major changes......I will worn you, the couple people I heard that did it, did get really tired during it.....since you are restricted to juice/liquids only......your energy goes down.....then its up to you, after the detox, to jump back into the game......start back slowly though.....don't overgorge at an all you can eat buffet or something, cause after 3 days, you're body probably won't agree to everything you throw at it.....
Really, cold ice water is your best detox....0 -
Dr. Oz's medical and weight loss has been a total success for Oprah.
Oh wait, no it hasn't.0 -
Well okay, you all have changed my mind! Kind of made me feel stupid for just asking question, but oh well I guess.
Thanks...
You should never feel stupid for asking questions. Dr. Oz is making money by BSing the public. They want to tip toe around the facts and science behind weight loss. How come he isn't taking all of that crap he is pushing onto people? Even though sh$t is always coming out of his mouth, I bet he hasn’t tried half of those crappy programs he pushes onto the public.0 -
I am feeling good about my weight loss, considering this is the first time I've ever tried to lose weight and it seems to be going quite well.
And by I'm feeling nasty, I mean I just feel like I ate too unhealthy over the Easter holiday and started to lose my motivation and am just exhausted all the time.
Thanks for the clarification. If you feel like you ate poorly over the holiday, then just proceed to eat in a manner that you deem more healthy. You don't need to do a detox and from what I've read/heard, many people end a detox feeling tired and lethargic. No need to compound that feeling.
Good Luck!0 -

Enjoy the snark, and be glad you are getting solid advice here.
"Detoxes" and "cleanses" aren't the worst thing you can do (assuming no medical issues), but if you plan on doing a liquid-only diet for three days make sure you are within a short walk of a bathroom at all times and prepare to be hungry, cranky, and have a massive headache if you're a coffee drinker. You'll lose water weight, and yes you'll gain that water weight right back, so using it for weight loss purposes would be a waste of your time. I suppose it would be fine to do it as a kickstart into a healthy eating lifestyle, but I personally don't see the point. You can achieve the same by upping your intake of fresh fruits and veggies.0 -

Maybe you are tired because your calorie goal is set too low for you. When I don't eat enough...that is usually the first thing that happens...I get tired.0 -

No, no, no, no. First you need to put it in a blender and then drink it three times a day for four days.0 -

Yeah that is the one that I was going to do, figuring it would be harmless since it was just fruits and veggies and stuff. But I've had my mind changed. And yeah I've heard that it makes you really tired so I also don't think that would work for me, I work full time and am a Mommy of a 3 year old and a 21 year old [my hubby] lol.0 -
Dr. Oz is a fraud.0

Take a long nap and start eating healthy again.
Oh, and STOP LISTENING TO 'DR' OZ!0 -

A medical detox is not the same as a Doctor Oz detox. I don't think Dr Oz is recommending people go on dialysis or chelation therapy and I highly doubt your Dad's doc prescribed him a Dr Oz detox (if he did, I'd question his medical license).0 -
Well the show Seinfeld showed us that cookies dont liquify, cookies dont liquify.
No, no, no, no. First you need to put it in a blender and then drink it three times a day for four days.
So would candy bars liquify?0 -

I've been at this calorie intake for about 3 months now, it was difficult at first to adjust to but I've gotten used to it. So I don't think that's it.0 -

Don't feel stupid. Dr Oz is the one who should feel stupid.0 -

That's not a great indicator. How low are you set?0 -

My husband has Chron's and a fatty liver and no gall bladder. Yes, some people have medical conditions that cause their bodies to function irregularly. However, it is generally assumed that "no medical conditions" exist when giving general advice. Most people will *never* need a detox.0 -

And you're only 21 and not obese? You should probably rethink your calorie goal. 1200 calories is not enough for most people. It's a bare minimum usually only required by women over 50 and/or obese. Running after a three-year-old can burn quite a few calories, not to mention the calories your body burns just through basic functions.0 -

Now I'm curious, though. If you have to go in the hospital or your doctor tells you that, due to health problems, you need to detox, what does it entail? Do they pump you full of chemicals and flush you out with saline, or something? Do they tell you not to eat for days? Or do they give you fruit smoothies? Or none of the above?0 -

Sorry people got all snippy with you about your question...They tend to get vicious when anyone asks about short-cuts, cleanses, "diets," etc.
In their defense they mean well and they are right... If you're looking for a quick fix you're going to be disappointed. It really is as simple as eating at a deficit and moving more (Although the eating at a deficit is the most important part if you're just worried about the number on the scale...).
And eat at a REASONABLE deficit. Don't kill yourself eating 900 calories a day especially if you only have 40ish lbs to lose! You'll just end up miserable. You'll be so much happier and stick to it if you are reasonable about it.0 -

Usually the extreme tiredness and lack of motivation may be caused by too much of a calorie deficit. What is your calorie goal? How tall are you and what do you weigh?
You should be over eating poorly at Easter by now, all that intake is already processed...as long as you have picked right back up with eating within your determined calorie range all should be fine. Maybe try focusing on eating more protein and fats to help keep your energy up.0 -
Don't get me wrong, the fruits and veggies are good for you.....just further incorporate them into your dietYeah that is the one that I was going to do, figuring it would be harmless since it was just fruits and veggies and stuff. But I've had my mind changed. And yeah I've heard that it makes you really tired so I also don't think that would work for me, I work full time and am a Mommy of a 3 year old and a 21 year old [my hubby] lol. My fiance got my a Nutribullet for my birthday, and I've eaten more vegetables in the past 6 months than I have the 29 years of my life.....LOL.....It's crazy. With the Nutribullet, you get all the fiber + the juice of the veggies, unlike a traditional juicer, that leaves the pup behind.....the biggest thing is you gotta give a good ratio of green veggies to fruit, or you could spike your sugar....which isn't gonna help weight loss
Have also heard good reviews of the Dash...kitchen blender....but really, right now you can find good prices on the "older" Nutribullet Blender.........the 600Watt, since they now have an 800 watt blender out available.0
