The only people benefiting from smoothie and juice cleanses are those self-set gurus who are sponsored for advertising smoothie and juice machines on their websites and put weird juice combinations together and charge people to download 3 day, 10 day and even longer juice/smoothie diets.
Been there, argued in favour of it and since learned better.0 -
Do you understand the words "assuming you're not"?
800 calorie days and smoothie cleanses.... I have no wordsWalkingAlong wrote: »Just started the full cleanse ... On day 2. Has anyone done this before? Any advice to get thrw it? I'm not hungry hungry I think it's more mental hungry. What kind of results did you get? I'm more upset that I can't workout more than anything due to the lack of fuel. I might do some squats and light weights to feel normal.
Which one are you doing? Most of them have plenty of calories for working out. Plus your body gets fuel from body fat, so assuming you're not trying to run a marathon on 800 calorie days, you should be ok.
I know it's the in thing to freak out over the words cleanse, detox and apparently now smoothie. If someone said they were on a raw vegan diet would you also freak out? That's about all the smoothie cleanses are. A produce-based diet isn't dangerous, especially for a short period.
Though if all you ever read is MFP forums, you'd sure think it was. So bravo for the MFP-studying but maybe consider some breadth of info, or at least something authoritative now and then.

Advice? You want advice?
Stop the "cleanse"....You aren't cleansing anything, you are detoxing anything.
Your body does this just fine on it's own.
Eat food.
Eat at a caloric deficit.
Move a little more.0 -
I've gotten teeth to chew my food with.
And a digestive system to do all the cleansing my body needs.0 -

I love this place. Here, let's get really controversial...
600 calories!
400 calories!
12 calories!
OMG! Look at me advocating starvation!

Advice on how to get through it and you're bummed out you aren't taking in enough calories to workout...
Your eating habits shouldn't be something you have to"get through" and a "cleanse" is really just a marketing gimmick by the diet industry. This is an industry that makes profit by conditioning people to hate themselves, not take care of themselves.
Do what you want, but really just eating at a deficit works. And you could workout, and believe me, exercise makes a difference.0 -

Just for context, when I read your initial comments ("Assuming you're not trying to run marathons on 800 calorie days"), it sounded like your opposition was possibly to intense exercise on 800 calorie days -- not 800 calorie days themselves.0 -

This is reductio ad absurdum on your part. As janejellyroll pointed out, what you wrote earlier was not taking issue with the low calories, it took issue with "trying to run a marathon" on low calories. Of course, even that post involved you taking things to extremes.0 -
The example was meant to show two extremes... running a marathon... 800 calories.
As in lifting a weight... drinking smoothies...
Not really the same.
As in, I'm pretty sure you can lift a weight without having had a non-liquid meal.0 -
Smoothies are delicious, but your body is already self cleansing so you don't need a cleanse. As long as your kidneys and liver are fully functional, you're good to go.0

10 days is a long one. I only did a 3 day because I was trying to isolate food allergies. It really is a mental block you have to get over. I was amazed by day 3 how much energy I had and how NOT hungry I was. Feel free to friend me if you are looking for some support
