Do or Don't: Detox Cleanse

via

I've been thinking about doing a health cleanse.  Have you ever done one?  I don't want to do the kind where you buy all that juice and survive on liquids alone - blech.  I need there to be a little more variety!  There are dozens of different "cleanse" ideas floating around the internet, so I don't know how to pick one!  Any suggestions?  Would you do a detox cleanse?

  1. Arbonne! I would recommend doing the 7-day cleanse along with the herbal detox tea and herbal colon cleanse (which is NOT a laxative fyi). I also recommend the seasource detox spa - detox your body by taking a relaxing bath :)

  3. I've been wanting to do the same, one of my natural doctors says they aren't the best though since you cleanse but are then depleted on important nutrients!

  4. If you do one, you should share how it goes! As a breast feeding mom, I definitely couldn't do one. I need those calories :)

  5. Hmmm...I don't know if I could do one! But yes, you have to share how it goes if you do decide to do one!

  6. I did the one that is floating around on pinterest...7 days of fruits/vegetables only... it says you could lose up to 10 pounds in a week. I lost 7. By the 3rd day I was feeling very tired and weak, but once I got over that hump, I was better. It requires an amazing amount of self discipline, which I discovered I don't have much of. I didn't really notice any lasting effects from it, other than that I realized I feel lighter and more energetic when I eat mostly fruits/vegetables, with some lean protein thrown in too. Let us know what you decide!

  7. I so don't have the discipline for a cleanse but can't wait to hear how yours goes. A friend did the master cleanse (just water w/ cayenne, maple syrup & lemon) and I honestly don't know how she survived.

  8. I have been thinking of doing one of these lately too! I just don't know that I could cut out everything in my normal diet... I have like no self-control when it comes to that! Maybe a modified cleanse would be good for me? Like not juice only? Let me know if you find a good one to try!

  9. so i have this little game i like to play when i think of doing extreme things with my diet. and it's called "would a wild animal do this?" because you know, wild animals lead much pure lives than us humans, particularly with what they put in their body. like they eat and do what they're supposed to. for instance - would a wild animal eat cheese out of a can? no, probably not. would a wild animal go on a detox? no, probably not. in fact in both cases i think they would be like "girl you cray cray." so is a detox for me? probably not. BUT, if you do it, let me know how it goes. i'll tell all the wild animals it's not so crazy.
