Detox/Cleaning Fast

bump

ooh, I'd be interested to hear about this as well ... could do with doing something like that, to clear the system :-))

I do the 7 day womens detox called THE CLEANER you can order it online if you dont have a vitamen world in your area that where i get mine. Its all natural it cleanses your lungs, urinary , parasites, heart, kidneys, liver and i cant rremember what else but i t works. I do it at least twice a year and i always lose about 6 ponds in that week. Its all natural, just keep in mind you will go to the bathroom a lot number 1 and 2 hope that helps

check out the book Juicing, Fasting, and Detoxing for Life. It is a great book on how to do detoxing natural way.

I have done several detoxes based on the book "21 Pounds in 21 Days". The concept is to give your diegstive system a rest and allow your body to naturally detoxify. You only consume berry drinks, fresh vegetable juices (a big mess and required a juicer and lots of veggies), and vegetable soups that are supposed to be belended (I just cut veggies into tiny pieces otherwise I felt like I was eating baby food). The detox also eliminated alcohol, caffiene and anything other than the juice, soup and berry drinks. You also take a lot of supplements - colon cleanser, enzymes, and either drink "green drinks" or I took the capsules. You drink a ton of water and decaf green tea sweetened with Stevia several times a day. You're doing something about every 1.5 hours whether it's drinking water and tea, taking a supplement or having some juice. The book also suggests other procedures such as colonics, enemas, skin brushing, etc. but I never did any of those. The last time I did it was right before the holidays. I lost 4 pounds in 3 days, which obviously you won't keep off once you resume normal eating. I feel like it gives my body a break from digestion and maybe has a cleansing effect. The book designs the detox for a 3 day mini cleanse, week long or 21 days. I don't see how anyone could do 21 days. It's kind of a lot of work and gets a little expensive initially to buy the juicer and supplements, but they will last you for several mini detoxes if it's something you want to do semi-regularly. I have mixed emotions about the detox, but I have done probably 2 a year for the past couple years so that says something. One downside is b/c you are eating virtually nothing, working out other than leisurely walking is pretty much out of the question. You may want to check the book out or do some online research. I am generally skeptical of the cleansing solutions you buy at the store but I haven't done any research on them. Good luck!

Your digestive track doesn't need a rest, the same way your liver, and your heart don't need rest, detoxes do nothing. Want to clean out your body? Eat cleaner, eat veggies, eat lean proteins, eat naturally grown foods and free range meats, eat them in the right quantities, eat foods rich in antioxidants. Eat whole grains, drink water, plenty of water.

There's no magic formula guys, and no amount of detoxes are going to fix your body if you don't eat healthy. If you do eat healthy you don't need them.
