Theres this 2 week cleansing diet, to clean out all the toxins and helps speed up your metabolism. My mom did it and it worked amazing for her. I said i would never be able to do it but finally decided to give it a try. COnsidering i always have alot of stomach issues, and problems with my digestion then this might be helpful too. I should've eaten a big meal tonight since i am going to do this for 2 weeks but im sick so couldn't even do it.

Wish me luck

if anybody wants it, let me know. Ill put it up for others if they want. Along with cleansing your body, you do lose weight so its good for that too obviously and why most people do it.

Here is the the plan. For the 2nd week follow it the same way.

Also i dont drink coffee so really cant do the black coffee thing so i am going to do green tea instead. My mom and alot of other people she knows did this and it all worked great for them. I hope i can last lol

Monday:
breakfast- 1 cup of black coffee, no sugar
lunch- 2 hard boiled eggs with boiled spinach
Dinner- 1 grilled steak with green salad

Tuesday:
breakfast-1 black coffee no sguar
lunch-1 grilled steak with green salad and fruit
Dinner- a few slices of ham 2-4 (OK THIS IS WHAT I AM GOING TO HAVE TROUBLE WITH W** LOL)

Wednesday-
breakfast- 1 black coffee no sguar, 2 slices of pumpernickel bread
lunch-2 hard boiled eggs with green salad and tomatoes
dinner-few slices of ham 2-4 with green salad

Thursday-
Breakfast-1 cup black coffee no sguar, 2 slices of pumpernickel bread
lunch-1 hard boiled egg with raw and boiled carrots
dinner-fruit and yogurt(plain)

Friday:
breakfast-1 cup black coffee no sugar. 1 carrot salad with lemon
lunch-grilled fish with tomato salad
dinner-1 grilled steak with root celery salad

saturday:
breakfast-1 black cofee no sugar, 2 slices of pumpernickel bread
lunch-grilled chicken
dinner-2 hard boiled eggs and carrot salad

Sunday-
breakfast-1 cup lemon tea, no sugar
lunch-1 grilled steak, fruit
dinner-fruit salad and yogurt(plain)

ALSO: my mom once in a while when she was hungry would eat an orange as a snack or something similar and it still worked fine.

WOW Good luck. I hope it works for you. I personally would never be able to do that. I eat AT LEAST 5 times day . Keep us updated

i kept saying i wouldn't do it, but my mom and fh both seem to think that i will have no problem with it. I have been disciplined before and have done the extremely healthy eating thing and even now eat pretty healthy so i hope they're right. For me the problem is the 2-4 slices of ham

My problem would be stopping at the 2-4 pieces of ham, AND the spinach...I CANNOT do spinach at all, ever, can't even have it touch my food. I do feel like my body needs to be detoxed though.

Thanks for sharing Denise.

yeah the 2-4 pieces of ham is weird, i think ill eat that with pumpernickel bread lol. Spinach i actually love and eat it all the time.

I want to detox too, along with physically i think it will help mentally lol. With alot of negativity going on and other things i feel this will help. I already have been handling things differently than i normally would, and also enjoying things more and not dwelling on the bad. Along with the bad energy i am getting rid of, i feel ill get rid of the toxins. The other cleansing diets are ALOT more strict and i cant do it lol. So compared to others, this really is not bad. My 2 friends who have alot of stomach problems have also been doing a cleansing and it helps

I wish you the best of luck! I'm not sure why everyone seems to be jumping on you for this....it's not like you said everyone has to do it...or you said it's for a year or that you are trying to lose 50lbs in 2 weeks...
Even though I'm not thin by any stretch of anyone's imagination, I eat relatively healthy all the time, yogurt, fruit, chicken, vegetables...but like you I have stomach issues and if i eat salad I suffer for hours after so it makes it difficult to stick to. I sometimes just wish I could clear out my body and start over.

i think bc alot of people think i am using this as a quick fix. Although since ive been on this site i always promoted healthy lifestyle and spoke out against fads. I think people dont realize what cleanses are for, because many will use the cleanse just to lose weight. FIrst its supposed to clean out your liver, and give your body a break from bad things such as alcohol, sugar and all those things and YES no alcohol allowed lol. A nutritionist has become so popular recently bc of her cleansing diet, and ive had doctors recommend cleansing diets that are far more strict than this. Some cleansing diets are fruit and water ONLY bc the point is to clean out your whole system and help with your colon.

I do understand everyones opinions but i also said you can add some snacks in between the meals. This is a detox and honestly for a cleansing i even thought this diet had too many things. I dont understand the steak part to tell you the truth but who knows, i mean the point to cleanse is to take everything out of there so why would i eat steak

Even my dad was given diets like this highly recommended by his doctors bc of his colon problems and more strict than this

Re: starting the cleansing tomorrow *UPDATED WITH THE PLAN**

Going back and looking at the food, I would so have a problem with this. Can you switch out certain foods? lol I hate eggs, I don't eat pork and I need more than coffee in the morning. I think my cleansing will just have to double my water in take

Good luck! Keep us posted on how it is working. I would love to try something like this, I just don't know if I have enough will power to do it.

i might do it for just a week, have to find out if it will have the same effect if i do just 1 week. I am basically going to see how i feel after the first week. I am also a little afraid bc alot of people lost ALOT of weight on this and i dont want to lose alot of weight while i do this. Somebody lost 20 pounds while on this and that is too much for me. I am also going to be working out and i dont want to go below 115 pounds, infact dont even want to be 115, i want to be about 120

NOT AT ALL healthy. She did have alot of weight to lose and when youre bigger the weight comes off more quickly.

HERE is an article from WEBMD, and even the doctors themselves talking about doing cleansings, and their cleansings are all water or all juice ONLY

Re: starting the cleansing tomorrow *UPDATED WITH THE PLAN**

Well I think you look great just the way you are. I think doing it for the cleansing reasons is the way to go and if you lose a few pounds that's like a little bonus! I've tried so many different diets and when it constricts you from eating things you are so used to, I would get sick and dizzy and nauseous that I would have to stop. But this cleansing seems to give you a bit of everything so it might not be too bad.

Re: starting the cleansing tomorrow *UPDATED WITH THE PLAN**

You should try this thing called Blessed Herbs. I believe it is a 5/7 day colon cleanse, my gfriend and her husband did it and they said it awesome. I think the website is called blessedherbs.com!

Be prepared if you go on the website though to see some NASTY stuff that comes out! I was floored

Good luck!

Water and juice only? You'd need to stay home because you'll be running to the bathroom all day!

Let us know how it goes. I read the first three days and the only thing i liked on there was the steak, lol.

Wow....sounds strict. I'm not sure I'd be able to do this.

Good Luck!

Re: starting the cleansing tomorrow *UPDATED WITH THE PLAN**

I did a detox diet once that was all raw foods for a week. You were allowed to eat as many fruits, vegetable and raw nuts as you wanted. By day 4 I started dreaming of chicken wings. I have no willpower and although I researched a ton of raw food recipes, and even made this great avocado lettuce wrap taco dish, I only lasted 5 and a half days. Although I must say, I made the best salad dressing with orange, lime and lemon juice mixed with fresh dill and garlic. I think I lost like 5 pounds and I felt great all week, minus the food tantrums. . Im going to try it again this summer when there is more fresh produce available, i do not recommend trying this in the winter.. that was tough.

see that sounds like a better cleanse because you can see by what youre eating you definitely are cleansing your body. I have a problem eating red meat bc it makes my stomach issues worse, so i am curious how this will work.

Try the raw foods. You can eat all day long (making your metabolism run constant) and there are a ton of recipes to make yummy things. Also since you can have herbs you dont have to sacrifice flavor. Some people live this way. I have no idea how they do it.

Re: starting the cleansing tomorrow *UPDATED WITH THE PLAN**

I'm sure this has been said in the 4 pages (i didn't read all the way through) but be careful. My friend did this and she did lose weight, but gained it back then some when she was finished. Detox is great, but once you start eating a full 3 meals again you put everything back on. Since your wedding is close be careful!
