Spring Cleanse - Dav 5 of 20

[stretchedout]

I already feel way better, and can't believe how much garbage I was eating and drinking before.  No longer.  I only buy fruit at the corner store now.  Sugar is white death.

Good for you, stretched.

 Thanks!  It's a lot easier to lose weight when one's digestive system is working efficiently.  Herbal cleanses every spring to loose the winter weight gain.

I hear you.
 I cleansed in early 2008, but since then have been ingesting waaaay too much flour, sugar, dairy and booze.

I can only speak for myself, but I lose 5-15lbs every time I cleanse.

I felt weak and had a headache at the start of my first cleanse.  But since then, it hasn't been too bad.
 Be prepared to go to the bathroom a lot.
 
 I always lose a lot of fluid and feel more energetic.

 There are lots of commercial products, or you can do your own cleanse.
 
  I use the Wild Rose 12 Day Detox (about $30)

Some cleanses can be potentially dangerous Michel.  The jury is still out on the benefits of cleansing.  Although there is no doubt people feel better, there is concern that along with 'flushing harmful' bacteria from the body....beneficial bacteria is also removed.  

  I've always wanted to give it a try, but I'm chicken.

Interesting article.  That's a 'home-made' type of cleanse they are talking about on that link?

  One interesting snip from that ...However to do so is unnecessary as the body is excellent at removing normal everyday toxins from itself through the lungs, kidneys, liver, and other eliminatory organs.

  I also understand, that every time the body is deprived of normal food and nutritional intake, that the body goes into 'survival mode'.....burning less calories to ward off startvation....thus making it less efficient.  

  I don't know....I keep coming back to square one on deciding whether to do it.  Help !

 Michel doesn't believe in anything.  No fun!  Michel thinks everything is placebo effect or an evil plot!!!!
