My best friend and Maid of Honor is an acupuncturist who did a cleansing diet and found the she felt wonderful and lost weight she hadn't been able to get off for long time. I had tried WW at work which was okay for a while, but I found it a little discouraging losing a half a pound every week. I decided to try my bm's the diet.
It was pricey and somewhat difficult, and involved purchasing natural products and 9 days of stringent commitment.
It was worth it. I lost 9 lbs. I did gain back 3 of those lbs. but that was because I went right back to partying and eating like there's no tomorrow.
Anyhow, I did the cleansing diet 3 more times and got down to 126. It wasn't just loss of numbers on the scale it is serious inches off my body and an amazing decrease in my desire to eat junk. I never thought I would be able to crave a chocolate bar, take two bites and say, that's all I want, and put it away. My second dress fitting is today and I couldn't be more psyched!
This year I plan to do the cleansing diet twice or three more before my wedding date and go hit the gym hard.
I started the 9 day cleanse today. What could be more motivating to start than when you are doing your dress fitting! Also NYC Restaurant Week is at the end of the month, and I figure I should lose a few before then.
I don't know if you're allowed to post addys here but this is where I got the 9 day cleanse from www dot slimcleanse dot isagenix dot com

Re: Lost 18 lbs!
it shouldnt be used as a method of losing weight. that can get seriously dangerous. and to do it 3 times in 1 year? im not so sure of that. like i said, you can get seriously ill. i'd do it once and then eat the way you're supposed to eat. i started eating 1200 calories a day and i'm losing half a pound to a pound a day. thats the healthy way. thats what i learned from a nutritionist. everyone stop being lazy and do it the right way

Re: Lost 18 lbs!
I think I was clear that what my bm and I did was a cleansing diet, not a weight loss diet. When we detoxified our systems, one of the by products of that was weight loss.
I know I go out a lot and drink martinis and eat foie gras. Detoxifying my system three or four times a year isn't overmuch at all nor is it unhealthy or lazy or the wrong way or dangerous.
Sure, if you were to cleanse every week or everyday, it would be unhealthy but to do that would be ridiculous. Losing a half pound or pound a day sounds more unsafe than 5 lbs in a 9 day span.
Before anyone tries any diet, they should do research about it and see if it is for them or if it is a scam or a money making scheme. I did that and feel good about my choice to try the diet and also knew my MOH would never suggest something bad for me or anyone else.
I posted the diet addy because I was asked what diet I did. This cleanse has helped me fantastically and I'm proud and happy with my results!

Re: Lost 18 lbs!
Today's fitting went well! I have another fitting scheduled and by the fourth fitting everything, including me, should be just right. Even with the weight loss, the dress cinches me and I have a tiny blub f back fat. Yikes!! Time to get serious at the gym :)

Re: Lost 18 lbs!
you wrote that you did the cleansing 3 times and lost weight and were stoked. then you said that you were gonna do it 3 more times and hit the gym real hard for the wedding. that seems like a weight loss diet to me. all you're doing is losing water weight for the most part. thats why you're gaining it back. it's not a healthy alternative. and if i went to a nutritionist and she told me to do what i've been doing, then you have no idea if losing a pound or half a pound a day is healthy or not.
