There are good reasons to eliminate all of these things, but to do so all at once is not recommended. Elimination diets are common to determine which foods might be contributing to our symptoms. Juice fasting is fine if you do it correctly and are sensible about it; 7 days is a bit much. Try a 3 day fast. There are lots of…

Well, I suppose if you think about it in weeks, that is 12 weeks, and if you lost 2 pounds a week, that's 24 pounds. And, it's also possible that you'll several more pounds your first week if you're just starting and it's water weight. So. You probably won't die. Good luck! :)

hahaha! Yay! I've lost an elephant heart and I can't wait to lose the penis!

Pretty much.

This. How we (Americans or otherwise) justify drinking crap that offers us nothing nutritionally is kind of mind boggling. Water IS perfectly wonderful in abundance.

A lot of people criticize those movies as propaganda and fear mongering, but for me, they worked. And my husband felt the same way, which has helped a bunch. We…

Shouldn't everyone "need to be healthy"?

Like everyone else, I definitely say yes, quitting soda helps! I love soda so I had a lot of issues with giving it up. And I told myself "I just don't like water." At some point, I just made the decision and stopped drinking soda. That change alone had me dropping about four pounds. I drink water constantly now and don't…

I love this! Sometimes, we just need to tweak the words that we say or adjust the lens we look through ever so slightly, to "get it" or make a breakthrough. Thank you!

The main thing for me is to stay away from animal milk. I'm not quite sure if one or the other is better if you are okay with eating meat products. My husband uses almond milk on his cereal and loves it! I only use milk as creamer in coffee. Love it.

hahahaha awesome! (and no, not so lucky here)
