• sashimi sushi and seaweed paper or seaweed salad. • green drinks & smoothies canned tuna is high in sodium so I personally avoid it. canned foods are dead foods. hummus isnt low carb. all beans have a hefty amount of carbs. good for maintaining weight, but not for loosing.

like a broken record. "companies who want your money"? sigh. nevermind. I guess I'll just ask Beyoncé later this week.

because I'm an anthropologist.

Okay. I'm starting to think this is a matter of semantics. I must be talking about something else. Maybe "Cleanse" or "Detox" is different for your generation then what I remembered and so I'm referring to something you guys all think is evil..... like how coconut oil was once banned because it was said to cause cancer…

you guys are too serious

well its like my momma always said, if you dont have anything nice to say..... Life is like that sometimes...

I did a cleanse. I felt better. I lost weight. I kept it off. I have a friend. She did a cleanse. She could finally gain weight and stop looking anorexic. My grandmother did a cleanse. Discovered certain foods that dont agree with her so she takes a vegetable enzyme now. My dog got sick. The vet suggested a cleanse.…

The F cleanse. Sounds good to me. lol :smile:

Okay. Fine. Calorie intake is not the defining factor for weight gain or loss. One's metabolism, rather how a person processes & absorbs fats, carbs, sugars, everything, is the defining factor and this is greatly attributed to the state of your individual gastro-intestinal tract. In fact, scientist within GI Departments at…

Ok. Why is everyone so angry? And why is everyone saying "don't waste your money" and "it has absolutely nothing to do with weight loss" Because 1. cleanses dont cost anything. 2. you can loose weight. (or gain, if that is your goal) So no one here has had success? Okay. Guess what, a lot of people got fat from doing P90X.…

Wait! Yeah! I heard about "the cabbage soup diet" That's hilarious.

Cleanses can help you loose weight, gain weight, stop caffeine addictions, fight intestinal bacterial overgrowth, identify allergies (add foods back in one at a time). Depends on the cleanse. But I didnt know people spent actual money on "buying a detox." Never heard of that.

Haters.

Why is everyone saying "waste of money." I thought cleanses were just paprika, honey, lemon and water :confused:

??? No. Those are two totally unrelated topics. Cleanses are not diets. Diets by definition are ways one eats, period. A cleanse is a temporary diet in order to get the body back in order. I've done cleanses before and felt really good afterward. I dont do them to loose weight. Personally I dont have weight to loose! But…

Okay. I heard Kim Kardashian eats a serving of food at restaurants then sprays the rest of her food on her playe down with windex to stop herself from eating anymore. Crazy or what? lol. That's what I'd call a bad fad diet.

Not surprised there. Slimfast isnt exactly dieting if you eat exactly the same crap for all your other meals. Boring! Next!

Wow. This is all really excellent information. I should say that I'm not looking to really loose weight as my comfortable weight is only 3lbs less than I'm currently. But its hard for me to conceptualize psychologically having anything other than healthy fats like avocados, extra virgin olive oil, sesame oil or coconut…

Its dancers who have ugly feet, not runners. If you're loosing toenails your shoes are obviously too small. Callouses, too small. Bunion pain, too narrow. Rough skin, rub with olive oil.

Jeez. Most of these reply posts are a bit rude. I dont think she posted this question to be judged and criticized. She posted this for some help and advice. If you havent done the Warrior Diet and you arent a woman then she isnt speaking to you. The Warrior Diet does work. I got down to 13% body fat and was the top 1% of…

Actually it depends on the person. Some cultures practice one meal a day. Some professional athletes swear by it. Some think skipping breakfast comes naturally when its actually the one reason they remain overweight. It depends on the individual. If you feel this is right for you then go for it. (If you need caffeine to…

Actually how a person metabolizes fats, sugars, and carbs is an individual process. What works for one person may not work for another. That cannot be determined as much as personal trainers and nutritionist lie and try to tell you. Budding science today in Gastroenterology teaches us the bacterial differences that seal…

Thanks, but I was referring to the section in Nutrition in the MyFitnessPal app called "Macros" where you can set your goal percentages? How should I change it? I miss my carbs goal by half (which still is too high) and meet my protein goal everyday (which is too low a goal). It reads a goal of Carbs 51%, Fats 29%, Protein…

I highly suggest Nike Training Club App. It has a diverse list of exercises as well as programs that can fit your needs. That said. About equipment. I STILL dont own a yoga mat and I've done yoga and pilates for years. In india and china oftentimes people workout on carpet or even a bath towel. No trouble there. About…

Oftentimes with healthy minded people potassium or magnesium deficiency points to underlying digestive issues with bacterial causation in its early stages. Consider adding some greek yogurt or soy silk yogurt to your diet. Greek yogurt is an excellent substitute for that all fat sour cream! Put it on a baked potato. Done…

Actually "Diet Coke" tends to make people drink more as it is the goal of the product and actually causes people to gain weight (also a goal of the product). I'd suggest switching back to regular coke, since it is easier for your body to metabolize BUT buy those teeny tiny 6oz cans they sell now, dilute each bottle with…
