I bought & tried the iaso detox tea. It has it's side affects, upset stomach, stomach hurting, feeling sick. So i am not going to continue it.
Have you even read this thread? I have a feeling the answer is 'no'...Tacklewasher wrote: »I don't know if I'm looking forward to the next couple of weeks for *kitten* and giggles, or if I'm scared for my sanity. Of course, the two may go hand in hand, but I've only been here since Sept so this could be interesting.
It's a bit of both actually!
But as long as one person hears the truth it's all worth it! I'm not even going to ask what eating apples and drinking water has to do with a detox. It'll make you poop sure, but so will lots of foods that you get to eat more of throughout the day. Apples and water... 
Years ago, when my wife and I bought our current house, it was right about when the cherries ripened. Had a very large popcorn bowl of them.
Oh I had a cleanse all right. Couldn't be far from the bathroom for 2 days.
Now we freeze them and I eat them year-round. Not as good as fresh off the tree, but also don't have the cleanse issue anymore.
the cherry cleanse i like it. am sure that will sell if you bottle it2 -

Love this quote " Like much of what happens under the umbrella of so-called alternative medicine, a successful marketing slogan is more important than science or evidence."4 -

If you're not familiar with it, the Taco Cleanse is a taco cookbook that uses the cleanse as a tongue-in-cheek marketing gimmick. The cookbook actually looks really fun to me. I'm glad you brought it up because I keep forgetting to look for a copy!2 -

Too much ACV on the forums this week - time for another bump?

But but but my second buttcheek neighbor said that cleansing is good for the body...
(So is glutamine, apparently... and yes I made research on the stuff. Not conclusive.)
I do regular cleanses. As in : I don't need to buy the stuff to have a regular cleanse.
IBS FTW!
And bumpy bumpy? Bumpy bumpy.0 -
Would you consider the Moon diet as a form of cleanse? My mother got me on the moon diet bandwagon a while back, and although I find the whole "moon power" thing silly and misinformed, I have found it refreshing (after getting used to it) to have one liquid day a week. Though I have begun to wonder whether it actually has any cleansing benefits to the body.
Moon diet: Having only liquids one day a week on the date of the full moon, new moon, first quarter, and last quarter, in order to take advantage of the moon's power to get you to gain or lose weight more rapidly on those dates.3 -

Don't feel bad - many of us old-timers have fallen for silly/fad diets in the past. No one is laughing at you, they are just laughing at the idea.
The diet-pushing industries are always coming up with some crazy rhetoric to reel in customers. It seems the stuff they come up with just keeps getting sillier and sillier. That is not your fault at all!4 -

I'm not really an old-timer here, but I'm not laughing at you. If you check out my myths thread, you'll see there are lots of things people come up with. Careful as it does get a bit snarky in there, but all meant in good fun.
http://community.myfitnesspal.com/en/discussion/10496479/so-whats-the-worst-weight-loss-myth
My point is that weight loss SHOULD be simple. But the media, Big O, Dr. Oz and you granny's second cousin twice removed all have really screwy ideas about weight loss that just confuse things so badly that many can't get to the reality needed. This year it's ACV. It's been everything under the sun and now the moon is involved as well.
Yes, some of these things can work for people IF it puts them in a calorie deficit. What you are really doing is a form of intermittent fasting (IF), which many do but they just don't relate it to the moon phases. If it seems to work for many people. If done properly, it is perfectly safe and if it seems to work for you I would encourage you to look at some of the IF groups to get better information on it.4 -

Diet pushers and supplement pushers. My 76 yo cousin keeps posting the same stuff on fb about memory pills. I think they're not working as she's posted the same nonsense about Warren Buffett is successful because these.4 -

IF I FOLLOW THIS DIET WILL I BECOME SAILOR MOON?

No worries there, I'm more amused than embarrassed of how much superstition I have allowed to go unnoticed around me. But hey, I'll have some good stories to tell in a few years.
The intermittent fasting seems to be working for me as I feel energetic and comfortable with no signs of hunger or weakness (deficit of about 200-300g), so I'll definitely pay those groups a visit for more info. Thanks for the tip!Tacklewasher wrote: »
