The Cleanse

So every time I have been ill and didn't feel like eating except for a little soup, I have really been doing a cleanse? Wow.

No, that only works for dogs.

Oh, well I'll make sure to let my dog know. I'm pretty sure she likes chicken broth. But she only weighs 11 pounds, so I'm not sure what a cleanse would do for her.

Well according to the OP a cleanse can be used for weight gain too. Your little doggie will probably turn into a Great Dane on her cleanse.

And here I thought we were joking about detoxing our little canine and feline buddies.

But noooooooo.

Though I could get a laugh out of thinking about anyone would actually survive trying to get the Cat Detox INTO the cat.

LOL

I did a cleanse. I felt better. I lost weight. I kept it off.

I have a friend. She did a cleanse. She could finally gain weight and stop looking anorexic.

My grandmother did a cleanse. Discovered certain foods that dont agree with her so she takes a vegetable
enzyme now.

My dog got sick. The vet suggested a cleanse. (chicken broth for a day). He felt a lot better.

When was the last time I did a cleanse? I dunno five years ago. Why do you guys even care?! lol

I'm sorry.......did you really put your dog on a cleanse?

If we believe the story, the dog was sick and the vet put it on chicken broth for hydration, like giving a kid pedialyte.

I'm thinking about doing a cleanse for a few days. What are the benefits? How does that work? And wouldnt I just gain the weight right back?

Benefits: You get to see how wonderful food really is without it.
How does it work?: It doesn't. You lose some water weight, but that's it.
Gain weight back?: Absolutely because all you did was an extreme calorie deficit and deplete the body of glycogen.

The marketing ploy from all these companies that offer this is temporary weight loss that for some reason gets people in a frenzy to spend more money on other products or programs provided by the previous seller of "cleanse" program. The whet your whistle than take your wallet.
Just to mention NO DIET PROGRAM works without calorie deficit and all that means is just eating less.

You guys need to stop being ignorant, food fuels our body.
You put *kitten* into it you get *kitten* in return
You overload your micronutrients -- it'll work wonders.
That's why you hear of so many people ridding of their diabetes by changing the way they eat.
And it's not a coincidence that some people who live under the same household, though not related, develop diabetes.
Your diet is crucial to how your body functions.

I hear you but a cleanse is still not needed. Change of some habits is needed
