Looking for a Good 5-7day cleanse

I'd like to know some too. For the new year.

I wish i could help.

The only thing I can think of is eating clean with no dairy or meat. Just the nuts, fruit and veggies.

You drink plenty of water but maybe you would need to flush the excess meat out of your system.

Whole foods..as in if it grew that way ...eat it..add nothing else.

Try a small bag of Russel Stover's sugar free chocolate covered english toffee.

A chilled bottle of citrate of magnesium. It will clean out stuff you ate as a baby. (Do not take if you have cardiac problems or an electrolyte imbalance. Used for colon preps in hospitals everywhere).

Don't buy in to expensive cleanses and system flushing BS. Just get healthy and stay healthy. Anything else is marketing BS.

(Execption if you are having surgery and must resort to other means).

I so remember this post. poor guy

This is a 3 - 5 day program several of my clients followed with results ranging from a pound lost to almost 5 depending on your particular situation. If this does not appeal to you or you may have medical reasons not to use this approach I would say to stop by any health foods store. They generally have several options to choose from. Good luck and let me know how you do if you try this or another approach. Sorry about the length.

3 - 5 Day Clean-Food Detox Plan

This three-day super-clean eating plan helps you eliminate toxic dietary offenders and focuses on whole, natural foods. Includes menus and simple recipes — plus tips for minimizing withdrawal symptoms. By Sara Ryba, R.D., C.D.N.

I am not a fan of cleansing regimens that involve fasting, colonics or laxatives. I find that a super-clean eating program can do wonders for your body, mind and soul. So I've created a three-day meal plan that is free of caffeine, alcohol, refined carbohydrates, sugar and sugar substitutes. Try this nutritional detoxification program and in just a few short days, you can look and feel years younger by eliminating a few dietary toxins and focusing on whole, natural foods.

I suggest you follow this detox plan for a minimum of three days, but ideally try for it five. Most likely, you'll feel the positive effects immediately and your body will be smiling from the inside out. If you find that removing junk food from your diet causes feelings of withdrawal (many of my clients have found sugar to be worse than caffeine), try my tips on page 2 to help you manage these symptoms.

3-day spring (or any season) cleaning menu

The three days of menus are approximately 1,500 calories per day. If you require more or fewer calories, you can simply alter the portion sizes, but do not skip any of the meals or snacks. You'll need to eat frequently to keep your stamina going.
Also, it's important to follow these guidelines:
• Keep an eye on absolutely everything that goes into your mouth. YES, I even want you to avoid chewing gum and breathe mints.
• Drinking water is a true necessity, especially when you are cleansing. Almost all of your liquids should be pure, unadulterated water. We usually recommend about 64 ounces per day.
• Decaf green tea and hot water with lemon may be added for those people missing their warm morning mug.
• If all of these guidelines seem too daunting to take on at once, feel free to mix and match. In other words, you could follow the menus but allow yourself one small cup of coffee. Make it work for you, but remember that the more you adhere to the plan, the bigger difference you'll feel.

Tips to minimize withdrawal symptoms
Get yourself psyched to cleanse, but also be prepared. This may not be easy, but it is definitely worth it! It is really only the first one to two days that you are likely to feel any of these negative side effects, and I can assure you that by day four, you will feel better than you have in a long time!

To help combat side effects such as headaches and fatigue, try the following:
• Drink adequate water — about 64 ounces per day. This will help to ease any negative side effects.
• Add an extra piece of fruit or a very small glass of fruit juice if you are feeling extremely lethargic.
• Get at least seven to eight hours of sleep per day. If this is not possible at night, try to fit in a few catnaps during the day.

Give it a go! And please come chat with us about your cleanse on the nutrition forum. I'd really love to hear from you.

Drink a lot of water, continuing exercising each day, and majorly beef up on your fruits and veggies.

I doubt you want to hear this but just start fresh for this last week on December. There isn't really a need to cleanse or detox. You will just put weight back on after you start eating normal again.
