Has anyone done a detox/cleanse to jumpstart their weight loss? If so, what can you recommend? I am in need of a good boost!
Thank you for any feedback!

Nope - Usually once you kick the drugs and alcohol during detox you gain at little weight. At least that's been my experience in watching Intervention. As far as cleansing I suppose you would lose a couple grams in dirt during your shower if you're particularly dirty that day, but it wouldn't be actual weight loss.
But in all seriousness. Just eat at a deficit and try and get some movement in and you'll do fine without wasting your money on a scam detox/cleanse.0 -

If you're really determined to clean all the waste matter out of your system, go ahead and schedule a colonoscopy. I lost 9 pounds in 36 hours doing the prep.0

you will not find much support for detoxes or clenses around here0

LOL! Yep, the colonoscopy prep should do it. I think you can buy the nasty stuff at the pharmacy. OR just drink a bunch of salt water. I bet it will do the same thing.
Seriously though, most people who start eating at a deficit will lose quite a bit in the first week or two, so no real need for a cleanse.0 -

Not sure what you expect it to achieve, but you are almost certainly misinformed as to the need or effectiveness of whatever you deem to be a detox. Folks on MFP get very excited about them, so ready yourself for suitably excited responses. The best detox you can do is one of the mind to sweep away erroneous knowledge about dieting and stick well to the basic principles of losing weight healthily by a sustainable consistent calorific deficit. Dont take the responses personally if they snowball.0 -
have you livers and kidneys stopped working? If yes, get to a hospital ASAP.
Oh, and you can't jumpstart your metabolism.
Just start eating in a defict.0 -

^^ agreed. OP please read the link. Lots of good info.
No need to detox or cleanse. Your body has a natural filtration system. Just eat at a deficit and you will lose weight. No jump start required.0 -
Detoxes are basically baloney. You don't need it.

My cleanse works really well. I call it the "3F" cleanse. Eat plenty of fat and fiber and drink plenty of fluids. Your liver, kidneys, and digestive system will do a really good job of eliminating waste when you give them all of the advantages.0

Work through a couple of dozen autopsies focusing on the intestinal tract, and you'll believe that the average human has some seriously mucus-coated lower guts. ...That a good psyllium "cleanse" will do a lot towards eliminating.
But, by all means, keep believing your liver is gonna do it.

And yet another facepalm.

Um...
That's natural. Your gut is supposed to be mucus-covered.
Just like your mouth is supposed to be full of bacteria.
I'd hate to have my gut not covered in mucus. Then all the sulfuric acid in my stomach would burn right through the intestinal wall.
If you want to back up your claim, please source your scientific evidence that proves that the mucus in your gut is indeed unnatural and needs to be cleansed.
Oh, and the detox/cleanse everyone is talking about is actually in your blood, not in your digestive tract. The detox/cleanse supposedly cleans out you blood/muscles/fat of impurities.0 -
I promise you, human beings are not dead batteries. We do not need a "jump start" to lose weight. And I won't get started on detoxing/cleansing.
Please just follow the great advice in the post linked above.0 -

Yeah.... I'm good with my liver and kidneys. Thanks.
Also, go ahead and let us know what toxins are supposed to be removed in a cleanse.

Toxins aren't my point. That is indeed the job of the liver & kidneys.
Don't lump "detox" (rarely necessary) with "colon or bowel or intestinal cleanse". They have nothing in common.
Our nutrients (all of them) are absorbed after digestion from our intestine. Medical fact.
If your intestinal wall is thickly coated with the thick, gelatinous, mucus-like residue of a lifetime of fatty foods, this assimilation can be impaired. Medical fact.
Some say it doesn't matter...I disagree.
Many don't care, but I do.
If you're actually interested (which I doubt) do some research.0 -

This says nothing about mucus in the colon. It says psyllium can be helpful for constipation and maybe cholesterol. I personally wouldn't take it.0 -
Taco bell cleanses and detoxes everything for me.0
