Just wondering how many of you have tried detox tea/water and if they really work? I've heard of a few but am worried I will be in the toilet all day at work. Any suggestions?

    No, they are a scam and/or a laxative. Don't be gullible.

    None. Unless you like wasting money.

    They don't work. The only legitimate detoxing is done in the care of medical staff. Most OTC detoxes and cleanses have laxatives. Save your money.

    Any suggestions? Save your money, enter accurate stats and reasonable goals into MFP, get an appropriate calorie goal, eat a variety of nutrient dense foods leaving room for treats in moderation, log everything you eat, ideally using a food scale, exercise if you enjoy it, eat back a portion of those calories, be patient.

    You're liver is the only detox you ever need. Honestly. Save your cash. Most of the time you're ditching water weight and any food in your bowels. It's probably pretty bad for you and your wallet. I saw this meme a few weeks ago and it applies. Best wishes!

    Don't. You don't need to be fired because you spent the entire day in the restroom. It would be all for nothing anyway. They don't do anything to help you lose weight, except the temporary weight loss from spending the day on the toilet.

    Well, you're right about being on the toilet all day, so I'll give you points for that.

    Sorry, I just need people to know that I spelled s-h-i-t and MFP changed it to kitten. Because yes, that's definitely how I describe my poops.

    One of my posts got changed to "no kitten, Sherlock". Which doesn't really make much sense, but it made me laugh.

    it's not for detox but i love peppermint tea. it has no caffeine and it leaves you with great smelling breath and it's a nice way to unwind at the end of the day.

    I know a guy who makes one with wild mushrooms. It really got me in touch with my inner spirituality and detoxed me over the course of a couple of days.

    I can't wait for some woo peddler to come up with "liver tea."

    Detox teas are fantastic.
    For detoxing your wallet.
    It will feel lighter, not in days, but seconds.

    They're pretty much pointless unless your goal is to temporarily *kitten* out some water weight

    Go to Curezone (also known as quackzone) and read the liver flush forum. You'll find all sorts of "liver teas."
