    I used a 2 day cleanse it did help me feel better and lose a few lbs but that's just a start, afterwards you must keep eating healthy and exercising.

    all it cleaned out was poop and water,it didnt clean anything else out. you could have done the same thing with fiber supplements

    I ate to much sugar free candy on Saturday. Tremendous cleansing occurred.

    It did not help with my weight loss; I've had better luck with logging accurately and sticking with my calorie goal to achieve my loss.

    Sugar free gummy bears perhaps??

    They were life savers actually.

    I just detox cleansed with Dawn dish soap. It tasted awful, now my stomach feels yucky. And I haven't lost a pound. :/

    Ah yes, the 'I Didn't Rinse Out My Go-Cup Well Enough' cleanse. I do it at least once a month! :poop emoji:

    You don't need a "cleanse." You need to plug all of your info into the "goals" section of MFP, figure out a reasonable daily calorie limit that will put you in a calorie deficit, eat a variety of foods that fit within your daily limit, and start to exercise--even walking can improve your health. By burning more calories than you consume, you will lose weight. Good for you for wanting to get started--wishing you success and good health!

    Well, I say whatever gets you in the right mindset for your lifestyle change is a great way to start. I started that way in January 2015, just had fruits and vegies and the slightest amount of low GI protein for a week. No sugar, No caffeine. It did help me kickstart my changes. Then I added in meats and other things back in but stayed at a deficit. It worked. Best of luck to you in your journey! I wish you a ton of success :)

    Not advocating the cleanse, but Elvis had about 30 pounds of feces in his impacted colon when he died. Perhaps the OP too, suffers from chronic constipation. :)

    now that's just mean. :/

    No, no, not trying to be mean. Elvis did have a severely impacted colon; I was pointing out that people can have medical conditions that can, ere, back them up (in response to a post that the body can't do that). Criminy, I never want to be mean. Mean people suck.
