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

Original post by Espo22

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.

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.


i might look it up. I think what people dont understand is that this is NOT a diet, it is a cleanse and during a cleanse you wont eat alot, would make no sense if you did. If this was a diet i would agree with everybody that its too little food, but for a cleanse this is a decent amount of food actually.

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!


i am also working out and have upped my routine to working out more. It is true that you will gain when you go from eating little food to alot so this is why i will work out even more when i am done. My mom did this over a month ago and she has not gained the weight back. BUT also alot of people go back to eating their usual way which is not good. I eat healthy now as it is, so after i will still continue to eat healthy.

hey denise,

i just wanted to say that this detox doesn't seem any more unhealthy to me than the way I ate when I was 331 pounds two yrs ago. As long as you take a vit you'll be fine. My docs had me on a 500 a day diet for 2 months so I think this looks fine.

im actually doing the extreme fat smash right now. It will run right up til my wedding in 26 days.


good luck-you are going to do well.
xoxo,

Oh my god, I could never do this, I would be starving. I have to eat every few hours! And yogurt and fruit salad for dinner would never work for me. Good luck to you though!

its very true. Many will say its too little food and while some people do eat more but healthy many are eating more but very unhealthy food so not like that makes it better.

is that the one that was on oprah? i know alot of ppl are doing that one

Good Luck, Denise. I think everyone is just concerned of the healthy end of it, even though it isn't a diet. Look forward to an update.

yes, i do understand that. If i feel any effects i will stop it. I wanted to do a cleansing and all the others are mostly liquid cleansing plans, and i didnt want to do that. Ill see how it goes and update lol. Thank you. I have been working out and eating well and already lost weight doing that, pants i havent worn in a while i am finally wearing again. I already lost most of what i wanted to lose and the only part i am concerned with now are my arms, and trust me even with this cleansing my arms will not get smaller lol, unless i work them out i wont lose.

I wish i could just do the 21 day colon cleansing pills i have, but i cant go to the bathroom in public its stupid but i cant lol, well number 1 i can. Last time i did the colon cleansing it was great, i had no stomach issues

I can understand the public bathroom issues! I can also understand wanting to tone your arms, it has been my concern even with all the weight loss they haven't changed much.

My old boss used to do this cleanse. She would do it twice a year and it was recommended to me by my doctor as well for stomach issues.

I didn't read all of the responses so sorry if someone already responded with this.

But there are a few things to keep in mind here:

1. it is not a diet. it is a cleanse. if you go for clonics it is the same kind of thing -- just condensed and machines are used

2. Yes you will gain some weight back but again losing weight is just a bonus and truly a quick fix (that is why stars go for clonics right before a big award show)

3. If you don't drink black coffee you can do green tea OR hot water with lemon. Sounds blah but it isn't bad.

Denise good luck. I have been wanting to do it but just haven't had the right opportunity -- I would need to not be traveling for work and that doesn't happen often. Let me know how it goes.

lol, if so then i wouldn't even do this cleansing and do the pills bc with that i know 100% that i dont have stomach issues when im on them.

Yeah i hate it, i can lose all the weight i want but my arms will still stay big lol, its so aggrevating. So the cleanse wont even help me to lose what i want to lose, so the purpose isn't mainly about losing weight.

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

this is actually interesting to me because I was just telling my friend i want to do a cleanse too. she's done juice fasts and raw food, and i'm always like no way I am not about quick fixes. But I think it's different, and I know you aren't doing it for a quick fix. I also have stomach issues, eat REALLY healthy - but healthy food (like some veggies and beans) often aggravate my stomach, I get bloated etc. Plus I have plateaued and I only want to lose like 5 more lbs. So I really want to do something that will just clean everything out. I even tried colonics once; was not a fan.

but i've been doing research on some of these cleanses. At least on this one you get to eat - like you said so many of them are just water and juice. My issue would also be ham, and steak. Wonder if you can swap out chicken?

Let me know how it goes - I wouldn't be able to start this until after Easter (no way can I deal with my family and what they would say) but if it works out for you then that would be just in time for my first fitting!

good luck seriously - I hope it helps and definitely keep us posted. My only hesitation is that you've been sick so not sure it's the best time to start, but obviously you know what you're doing.

thank you SO much. Do you know which cleansing your boss did?

If i dont lose weight on this but helps with my stomach then it will all be worth it. If i lose 5 pounds it will be an added bonus.

I am also going to see if my dad still has the cleansing diets his doctor gave him. I inherited my dads stomach problems unfortunately, so ill see what they gave him.

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!


i did a 21 day colon cleanse a while ago, well i use it simply to go to the bathroom since i have a big problem with this.


can you FM me the name of the colon cleanse you did - if you think it worked for you? i'm always looking for new things to help with this but I don't trust anything unless someone has used it. Thanks.

didnt think about the fact that ive been sick, thats a good point. I need to find out.

I wish we can substitute it with chicken, ill see if i can find out about this, it would help lol.

Its funny bc fh just mentioned to me this past weekend that i should get the colonics done lol. Ill definitely keep it as an option in the future.
