I may need a new toilet.
The Taco Bell/Mexican food detox? I've done that one. Almost as effective as a case of food poisoning.
I personally love the "chug a medium Dunks iced coffee and then go for a run" cleanse. Cleans you right out.0 -

I like White Castle myself. Always does the trick.

Not gonna lie - salmonella was an AMAZING detox. Everything in my body voiding at once for about 6 hours straight? Mmm. Who needs blood, I tells ya. Blood = just more weight, amirite?0 -

"detox" ...
"cleanse" ...
Meaningless Snake Oil.
You have wasted your hard-earned cash.

Unless you're prepping for a colonoscopy, I can't see any other reason to bring that on oneself.0

yes.
I did a detox once called salmonella poisoning with a side order of sigmoidoscopy when the food poisoning took 4 weeks to clear up.
It cost me about as much money and water weight as a store bought cleanse and resulted in about the same amount of actual fat loss- none0 -

If you absolutely MUST do a "cleanse", and I am not advocating it one bit, then buy a $3 pack of that ballerina tea. It will flush you out and cost you a fraction of the super duper cleanse you're doing now. The ballerina tea is simply a laxative tea. Again I do Not condone this, but I have a feeling you're gonna do it anyway. It just totally grates me when people hand over fist fulls of cash for a glorified laxative disguised as a cleanse0

You don't need a detox and it could be harmful.
My advice-don't do it!
I agree0 -

I don't exactly do it for the "cleanse" aspect because, like many people on MFP will tell you, you don't need to be on a special program to detox/cleanse/get rid of impurities, etc. Your body does that on its own when you stop eating and drinking crap.
Now, since the Op asked, I did/do Isagenix for two reasons: 1) It may not be sustainable, but IMO it is a great way to kick start weight loss, and that's what a lot of people need in order to keep going. 2) I am unfortunately the type of person that needs to follow a strict program in order to see results and continue to discipline myself. It's not exactly all or nothing, more like all or mediocre.
I wish you all the best on your program!
Is isagenix also a harsh stimulant laxative?0 -

Is there a sticky about that? There should be. It has helped me from asking questions that may have started wars (except for my first post about fast foods, then I found the search function. Hee hee!! )0 -

It doesn't matter.. even if they do search, they'll post again if they don't like the answers they got in the previous posts.0 -
A quick look at the OP's posting history shows this is just the latest in a series of fad approaches ... HGC (told to stop by a doctor), wraps, asked about phentermine ... claimed she eats 1200-1300 calories per day but burns off 1200 through exercise. I see a very unhealthy pattern.0

From this laundry list? Yes.0 -

There used to be a sticky on this board before they did the forum change. It didn't stop people from asking about different detoxes though.
