Detox/Cleanse
Has anyone done a detox/cleanse to jumpstart their weight loss? If so, what can you recommend? I am in need of a good boost!
Thank you for any feedback!

No I have not. My functioning liver does the job for me. And now, the waiting game.

Nope - Usually once you kick the drugs and alcohol during detox you gain at little weight. At least that's been my experience in watching Intervention. As far as cleansing I suppose you would lose a couple grams in dirt during your shower if you're particularly dirty that day, but it wouldn't be actual weight loss.
But in all seriousness. Just eat at a deficit and try and get some movement in and you'll do fine without wasting your money on a scam detox/cleanse.0 -
Cleanse yourself of excess kcals.0

If you're really determined to clean all the waste matter out of your system, go ahead and schedule a colonoscopy. I lost 9 pounds in 36 hours doing the prep.0

LOL! Yep, the colonoscopy prep should do it. I think you can buy the nasty stuff at the pharmacy. OR just drink a bunch of salt water. I bet it will do the same thing.
Seriously though, most people who start eating at a deficit will lose quite a bit in the first week or two, so no real need for a cleanse.0 -

Not sure what you expect it to achieve, but you are almost certainly misinformed as to the need or effectiveness of whatever you deem to be a detox. Folks on MFP get very excited about them, so ready yourself for suitably excited responses. The best detox you can do is one of the mind to sweep away erroneous knowledge about dieting and stick well to the basic principles of losing weight healthily by a sustainable consistent calorific deficit. Dont take the responses personally if they snowball.0 -
have you livers and kidneys stopped working? If yes, get to a hospital ASAP.
Oh, and you can't jumpstart your metabolism.
Just start eating in a defict.0 -

^^ agreed. OP please read the link. Lots of good info.
No need to detox or cleanse. Your body has a natural filtration system. Just eat at a deficit and you will lose weight. No jump start required.0 -
Detoxes are basically baloney. You don't need it.

My cleanse works really well. I call it the "3F" cleanse. Eat plenty of fat and fiber and drink plenty of fluids. Your liver, kidneys, and digestive system will do a really good job of eliminating waste when you give them all of the advantages.0

Work through a couple of dozen autopsies focusing on the intestinal tract, and you'll believe that the average human has some seriously mucus-coated lower guts. ...That a good psyllium "cleanse" will do a lot towards eliminating.
But, by all means, keep believing your liver is gonna do it.
