    Are these people also trying to sell you whatever scam detox you need? They're just trying to use your desperation to pad their wallets. You'll do just fine without throwing away your hard earned money first.

    We have a winner. Many of the detox products and the people pushing them are multi-level marketers happy to "help" you.

    People keep telling me that I have to detox my body before dieting, or I will loose little to no weight. Is this true?

    It's always funny when people respond as if you just insulted their mom by asking a simple question. If you really want to do something with some type of cleanse just drink 2 cups warm water and 2 tbsp lemon juice right away in the morning and eat as would normally all day, it is a natural detox BUT with lemon's other benefits it's worth it. Honestly though it's great even if you decide not to do a detox.
    Name one toxin.

    Hint: there aren't any

    I don't know about toxins and really I am not concerned of them but beating up on someone for asking a question isn't my game. I just read that the lemon water is used as a detox but personally I drink it for other reasons so I was trying to share a quick low cost option if she decides to still do a "detox". Sorry you got so offended by such a polite response.

    you read wrong …

    OP, I will give you some free advice, but for full instructions, you'll have to buy my upcoming book, The 10 Day Master Peep Cleanse(TM): Detoxification & De-Chemicalization of the Body, Purification of the Soul.

    God give it a rest. Maybe just once try and contribute something useful to a thread...

    I assure you, we're were this a useful thread, my comments would be useful.

    FYI - Red Peeps can be used to detox sticks from butts.

    And really what is the harm of drinking lemon water? You act as if I told her to go to the nearest Walmart and buy the most expensive detox crap on the shelf. It's lemon water if anything she gets some Vitamin C

    It is totally unneeded. If her kidneys and liver are working properly there is no need to "detox" and it does absolutely nothing. If they are not working properly you need medical intervention, not some silly "detox plan".

    It's lemon water.... that's all I suggested. Lemon juice and Water.

    The point is that the only thing you should be recommending with those ingredients is a nice lemonade. There's no such thing as a detox (except for that one...the name escapes me at the moment) and to just blithely throw that out there is kind of ignorant on a fitness website.

    I hear some users can experience Peep Fog in the first week of the Cleanse. Just keep at it and clarity will be yours!

    I swear by the McDonald's Coffee with One Cream AT LEAST twice a day cleanse and detox.

    If I skip my detox I feel bloated, icky, and retain water and poop like crazy!

    Note that Tim Horton's, 7-11, or Starbucks products do not provide the same health benefits as the McDonald's Coffee with One Cream cleanse, and if you drink that other crap you will just NOT LOSE ANY WEIGHT!

    No, no, noooooo....don't listen to those people.

    It is not true (as I'm sure others have answered by now :))

    OP, don't listen to all this negativity. I've had a lot of success with a cleanse I developed. It's helped rid my liver of a lot of excess toxins and, after 3 rounds, my body is nearly 95% chemical free. Let me know if you want more info.

    You tease. I was hoping for an awesome meme.
    Apparently five people thought he was serious, 'cause his response is...ahem...invisible.

    I have just realised that in order to attempt the Peep Cleanse in the UK I would have to invest oodles of spondoolies

    5 yellow peeps would set me back £3.73. That's $5.56.

    Wow - these detoxes sure am 'spensive

    Satire isn't useful? Man, my high school lit teacher lied to me, and Jonathan Swift is a fraud.

    Wait, isn't that the guy who recommended eating babies? Because I tried that, and it didn't help me lose weight at all.

    If you're going 24 hours without eliminating any liquid or solid waste, you should probably get that looked at. Or at least start drinking water.

    You've got to cover them in yellow granulated sugar first.

    I highly recommend these. They're delicious and just generic enough to make even the most squeamish launch into baby-eating nirvana.

    I haven't read anything other than OP. I'm sure it's safe to assume that no one has been able to name a single one of these mythological toxinz? In to start my list of toxins that a detox removes.

    I can't name them, but they're all scary and bad, bad, bad and should be ashamed of themselves.

    What are you detoxing again?


    Second though, I don't even care. Have fun with your bitter water. I'll leave this here incase someone actually can answer the question for the masses.
