    Before I started my diet, I did a fruit and veggie detox. I ate only fruit and veggies for a week. I also included some Morningstar products when I was feeling desperate. I did this for 7 days. On day six, everyone from my body exited. Day 7 was quite miserable though, my tongue was raw from all the acids from the fruits and veggies.

    However, I lost about 8 pounds and I felt better than ever. I believe this jump started my weight loss. No caffine, no pop/soda. Be careful though, do not go back to eating heavily after. Your stomach will feel like its consumed rocks. Eat light and you'll be -- A o k !

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

    You'll cleanse everything from your digestive system in 24 hours, guaranteed!

    I feel like I'm going to get in to an unnecessary poo-slinging contest here, but why would you want to do this?

    You say you have never felt better, yet you suffered from the acid from eating too much fruit...? That and you body had to re-adjust to 'normal' eating.

    With this way of eating, your body is going to take energy from wherever it can, and this starts to wear away at your lean body mass (muscle) as much as your fat. Sure you will lose weight, but you will not gain health... and all numbers and scale worship aside, weightloss is not the end game. BETTER HEALTH IS THE NUMBER ONE GOAL!

    Don't pursue any plan that you are not able to sustain or you will continue to fail and ask yourself why over and over again. This is exactly the type of thing that continues to feed the multi billion dollar a year 'diet' industry. Please don't give into the hype.

    Here's a cleanse for ya. Drink at least 8 glasses of water each day, and focus on eating lean meats, fresh fruit and veggies and cutting back on processed foods. Add at least 30 mins of exercise to this each day to get your metabolism going too.

    It can be done as a 7 day cleanse, but should be done FOREVER.

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

    There is the famous Master Cleanse (Lemonade Diet). Have you tried that? I think they say that it should be donr for at least 10 days, but no more than 21.

    I know someone who got serious kidney stones after doing this cleanse. :indifferent: Just putting that out there.

    No, I think it had maltose or sugar alcohol in it?

    They tasted great, thus the downing of the entire bag in one sitting lol

    What a mistake!

    Abstain from all alcohol, drink at least 10 glasses of water each day. Coffee is okay, but no creamer or sugar. Sugar substitute may be okay, your call.

    Day One All fruits except bananas. Your first day will consist of all the fruits you want. It is strongly suggested that you consume lots of melons the first day. Especially watermelon and cantaloupe.

    Day Two All vegetables. You are encouraged to eat until you are stuffed with all the raw or cooked vegetables of your choice. There is no limit on the amount or type. For your complex carbohydrate, you will start day with a large baked potato for breakfast. You may top the potato with one pat of butter.

    Day Three A mixture of fruits and vegetables of your choice. Any amount, any quantity. No bananas. No potatoes today.

    I have had a few friends do this "cleanse" and have great results. I don't see the harm as it is all natural, whole foods.

    Expect high levels of energy and some weight loss.

    I wouldn't call it a cleanse per se but kind of a nice detox to is to to 5-7 days of raw fruits and veggies with lots of water. Some people do the juice thing but I like the feeling of eating. haha check of the movie "fat, sick and nearly dead" it's about the raw food reboot.

    Fruit and Veg cleanses are always decent. End up getting a lot of fiber...which may make you a little uh gassy, so be prepared for that part if you're going to be at a family function or something. Lol.
