Hi guys,
from tomorrow I am going to start a detox week.
Monday - Wednesday I will eat very light. No coffee. No refined sugars. Will eat mostly hoummous and drink juices.
Wednesday (from morning) - Saturday (morning) I will drink only water.
I will perform light exercise such as Yoga during the water cleanse.
Saturday + Sunday I will drink only juices.
So let me know if you want to join and come up with suggestions, we can support each other troughout the week !
The reason that I want to do this is because I dont have control over my diet and I crave too much sugar. I need to get back to my healthy ways!

good luck. there is nothing wrong with a short 3 day break from your normal diet. it may or may not do anything significant. Just be warned that many here will blast you for even thinking about it and especially for mentioning it. Drink a lot of water.0

Did you even read their planned intake for the week or were you too busy rushing in to support an illogical plan that isn't supported by science?

yes I did. The truth is that something like 97% of people doing this type of drastic "cleanse" will give up or significantly alter the regimen within the first 24 hours.0 -

OP, I love my body too much to treat it so poorly.0 -
I get you perfectly : Started Gm diet , basically fresh unprocessed fruit and veggies and over 2 lt of water, as soon as I asked if anyone's tried it , people freaked , not even hearing that I am modifying it to fit me, I started eating veggies I never have , drinking a lot of water which I usually have trouble at, and feeling great in general.-1

The thread says 3 day cleanse.
The post outlines a nearly liquid-only diet for 7 days.
I'm no expert, but a cleanse shouldn't me 'stop everything!'.

For those who might not actually go read that very good thread by SideSteel...PikaKnight wrote:
With the rapid increase of new users there are many posts coming up asking for detox recommendations. I figured this would be a good time to provide some links explaining why you generally don't need to detox or cleanse.
Your body is readily equipped to handle toxins and in the event it cannot, you're in far greater need of medical attention than you are of any particular beverage or liquid diet.
For purposes of weight loss, you're essentially choosing to replace food with liquid calories (depending on the cleanse, but most fall under this category) resulting in what usually amounts to a VLCD. This isn't typically a good idea for a variety of reasons (mood, hunger signaling, skeletal muscle maintenance, performance) and moreover it represents yet another short-cut attempt rather than establishing proper habits.
The intent of my post isn't to insult anyone who comes here with the misinformed belief that they should detox/cleanse. The purpose is to provide information to hopefully save someone the wasted time, money, and potential ill health effects, not to mention the likely weight regain.

Sorry dear, but you chose the wrong website to post your plan. Nobody here is going to join you.The reason that I want to do this is because I dont have control over my diet and I crave too much sugar. I need to get back to my healthy ways!![:\](https://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/resources/emoji/confused.png ":\")
I'd really like to know how all of this will help you "get control" over your diet and get you back to your healthy ways.

because your body naturally detoxes itself, so if your kidneys are fine then there is no need to torture yourself with a week long water/juice cleanse….0 -

And in addition to "cleansing", she's a binge eater.

Have you noticed that you're basically talking to yourself while the rest of us are commenting on the OP? Or has partaking in an ill thought out diet with a name faked to link it to a major corporation when it was never associated with the company warped your perception on the topic of poor dietary choices?0 -

I'm not sure I understand.
Are you saying that for 3 days you will eat lightly, mostly hummus and juice, then for 3 days you will only consume water? Or did you mean you would be eating normally, but your only liquids would be water?
And then for two days you will only drink juice?
My understanding of cleanses is that they last a very short period of time, and a responsible person ensures that they are consuming calories and nutrients in the form of vegetable juice in addition to the fruit juice. Do you have a juicer, or are you buying premade juice? If the latter, is it Welch's, or is it stuff that was made for this purpose?

Do detox diets offer any health benefits?
Answers from Katherine Zeratsky, R.D., L.D.
Detox, or detoxification, diets are popular, but they're not scientifically proven.
Detox diets are touted as a way to remove toxins from the body. Specific detox diets vary — but typically a period of fasting is followed by a strict diet of raw vegetables, fruit and fruit juices, and water. In addition, some detox diets advocate using herbs and other supplements along with colon cleansing (enemas) to empty the intestines.
Some people report feeling more focused and energetic during and after detox diets. However, there's little evidence that detox diets actually remove toxins from the body. Indeed, the kidneys and liver effectively filter and eliminate most ingested toxins. The benefits from a detox diet may actually come from avoiding highly processed foods that have solid fats and added sugar.
If you're considering a detox diet, get the OK from your doctor first. It's also important to consider possible side effects. Detox diets that severely limit protein or that require fasting, for example, can result in fatigue. Long-term fasting can result in vitamin and mineral deficiencies. Colon cleansing, which is often recommended as part of a detox plan, can cause cramping, bloating, nausea and vomiting. Dehydration also can be a concern.
Finally, keep in mind that fad diets aren't a good long-term solution. For lasting results, your best bet is to eat a healthy diet based on fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean sources of protein.0
