Re: Anyone been on a detox diet?
I just started the nutrisystem diet and the food made me sick to my stomach. It felt like a detox.

Re: Anyone been on a detox diet?
Kinda dangerous, I think. But on a relative note, has anyone done a colonic?

It depends - if you fast, yes. But if you stick to whole, clean foods, water and some dandelion root tea, no.

Re: Anyone been on a detox diet?
I did a detox diet after I quit smoking. I kept looking for food to eat to fix my nicotine craving. The diet started with just fruits, vegetables and 100% fruit juice and water to drink. After five days of fruits and veggies you fast for four-five days. After you are done fasting, you slowly introduce foods back into your diet such as grains, no fast food. I did this and it started me in such a healthy direction. After doing this and exercising daily, I have lost forty pounds. good luck.

Re: Anyone been on a detox diet?
I've done detox diets the past 3 years...it's a great way to clean out your system and "re-set" your body. It can be done very safely, but the foods are pretty bland...I actually don't eat any meat, fish or chicken for a whole week. You feel so much better afterwards and you can lose a good amount of weight.
FM me for more details. I'm in the health field and can e-mail you info.

Re: Anyone been on a detox diet?
It's amazing that you really don't feel nauseous. The only thing I had was a headache from the caffeine withdrawl. NO COFFEE!!! You end up feeling so good and you have control over your eating again.

Be careful... a girlfriend of mine became addicted to them a few years ago, when you use them everyday your body gets used to them, and then you start to need them to go to the bathroom.. she took them everyday, wound up doing alot of damage to her colon and needed surgery.. jsut be careful!!!

Re: Anyone been on a detox diet?
I just need to share some more -
Do NOT ever do that!!!!
First of all, it is just shy of bulimia... I had a friend in college who did it and she got very sick. Your body naturally needs to do it on its own. If you abuse laxatives, whcih is what your coworkers are doing, the following occurs:
- dehydration - and ultimately - loss of electrolytes, which can lead to heart trouble
- your system begins to get dependent on them, making your digestive system "laz" and you will have problems eliminating food on your own
- loss of vitamins and nutrients your body needs - since laxatives just clear everything out before your body has the chance to absorb necessary nutrients....
PLEASE don't do this! Why would you do this? Just eat well and exercise - that is the healthiest thing you can do! You will still look good in a wedding dress!!!!

Re: Anyone been on a detox diet?
I did the detox...my FH is a chiropractor and he specializes in weight loss/nutrition..although i am overweight hehe...anyway he has a special program where you take supplements,vitamins and a special shake so your body does get the essentials. I must say it was very difficult at first but then you begin to realize how much junk you really put into your body...i lost 15 pounds and not just that but really did feel like i cleansed myself out i had more energy and my skin looked amazing... i did it for 21 days...then i slowly began to eat more food but healthier choices...its worth a try !!!

I hope everyone knows I was talking about the detox and not the laxatives. I agree laxatives are not the right way to go

Absolutely!!! I was following you with that - its just that when I read about the laxatives, every nerve in my body reacted -
I saw my friend do it and get sick,
I read an article about a popular fitness personality doing it for years and finally coming out for other women to never do - I forgot her name though,
My soon to be 11 year old niece is bulimic, and has been in-and-out of treatment centers since she was 8 (long story - not just body issues, but bulimia is a personal thing to me) - laxative abuse is bulimia!!!

Re: Anyone been on a detox diet?
So sorry to hear about your neice. Bulimia is becoming so much more predominant in younger girls. It is so scary.

yes - unfortunately, its a sad mix of needing control over her life, more than true body issues - thanks for your kind thoughts!!!
