I've searched MFP for any topic on this and couldn't find anything. I apologize if this is a repeat or posted in the wrong forum. Has anyone been on this program and had success? I really like the concept of the detox (not your typical detox) as a way to improve health slowly, and as an added benefit, potential weight loss. I am on phase two, not seen a lot of improvement. Would like to hear other thoughts, or a link to the post of those on this plan? Thanks.

    Like I said, not a 'typical detox'. More of a healthy way of eating. Not looking for your judgement but rather comments from those how are on this plan. It is a lifestyle change not a quick detox.

    Detoxes are a big load of woo and nothing but a ripoff. They do nothing beneficial for you. Your body is already equipped with everything it needs to "detox" itself.

    Two good, evidence-based reads on the subject:

    If you have some kind of health issues that an improved diet can help, like high cholesterol, blood pressure, or prediabetes, it can take some time and I would hope you are working with your doctor to determine success and other options.

    If the improvement you are not seeing is weight loss, you are eating too much. You can overeat on any diet plan. Are you logging here? Are you using a food scale?

    I'm not looking for quick weight loss. I know there are detox threads. I was specifically looking for "the Prime". I understand about calorie deficit. If anyone has tried the Prime and read the book, please respond.

    Again, I'm not looking at it for the weight loss benefit. Also not sure where the $300 came from; you can get the book for about $15. You don't need to purchase the 'program' supplements, they are available for a fraction of the cost from local stores. No, I'm not in a deadly toxic state, but do have health issues. Anyone actually read that book that would care to comment?

    OP I know it can feel irritating when people don't answer your actual question but this is a discussion forum and you're going to get opinions. If you've seen the other threads on detoxes as you say, I can't imagine why you think this thread is going to lead anywhere different.

    Oh. So it's based on ayurveda.

    OP, you don't have ama causing your health issues. If you have genuine health issues, see a doctor.

    OP if you have health issues and are overweight, losing weight would be the first thing you should be trying to do.
