Had perfect hot body whole life until last two years. I now weigh 215lbs. thanks to quitting work to stay home with my children; got lazy, sit/slept a lot, ate TONS of junk and fast food, no exercise at all. Been eating completely healthy for a few weeks now, no more than 1800 calories and 60 fat grams per day. Losing weight but very slowly; 1 or 2 lbs. a week. I’d like to speed it up if I can. I heard that colon cleanse and acai berry supplements will shed weight quickly. Is this true???

probably not diet and excercise is the key.

I am starting a diet this week, and I am just wondering if it could be a good idea to start off with a good colon cleanse. I have never tried this before, but I’ve heard a lot about it lately…I had a very sudden weight gain…about 50 pounds in the past 4 years or so, and all I eat is fast food, and pop, and processed food…seriously!!! I’m changing!!

Guess what? These people are trying to scam you! Big shocker, I know.

Here are a couple of facts:

Diets, in the modern sense, do not work.

Miracle cures are bogus.

You don’t need a colon cleanse. Your body rids itself of toxins naturally. This is what the liver and kidneys are for. You also don’t need to ‘go on a diet.’ What you do need to do is make a fundamental, permanent lifestyle change. Cut out the soda, even diet soda. Cut out drive thrus and never eat in your car. Eat food that you prepare yourself, from scratch, using fresh ingredients. Try not to eat meat every day. Eating meat is fine and healthy, but not in the quantities that we typically consume it. Try two new vegetables every week. Some you will hate, some you will like. Keep the ones you like in your diet. I recommend parsnips. They make a great replacement for potatoes. You don’t need a colon cleanse, you just need more fiber in your diet. Eat a couple of apples every day, skin included. Hunt around for some good salad recipes that use mixed greens, arugula, fresh spinach, or leaf lettuce. Stay away from iceberg, it is nothing but water. Look for nutrient dense, calorie light foods. I am not going to lie to you, you are going to probably end up spending more on food than you do now, for less food, but the food you eat will be a lot healthier, and it will taste a lot better. Don’t 100 percent cut out the things you like. Allow yourself dessert, although no more than once a week. Allow yourself a soft drink, but no more than once a week, and get one that is made with real sugar instead of high fructose corn syrup.

Here comes the difficult part: never stop doing this. Diets fail because they are finite. People start them and stop them. True change comes with permanence.

Eating right is only half of the equation. You also need to increase your level of physical activity. A great way to do this is to get a good, comfortable bicycle and use it for any trip that is three to five miles each way or less instead of your car. You don’t have to wear stupid looking lycra clothes, there are plenty of bikes that are designed so you can ride them in your normal every day clothes. You can get bikes with baskets, racks, and bags so you can even carry a week’s worth of groceries on your bike. The other advantage to this is that even though you will be spending more on food, you will be spending less on gasoline and car maintenance, so it will balance out.

It isn’t easy at first, but it becomes easier with time. If you can keep it up, you will never want to go back to your old ways.

Good luck!

I’m planning on doing a detox or colon fast for 3 days. I’m 13 years old, 115lbs and 5′4. Has anyone done a fast before? I wanna just eat organic fruits, veggies and water for 3 days. I’m hoping it will clear my skin, and maybe I’ll lose like 2-3 lbs? And I heard u can take this supplement thing with you meal to make it a colon cleanse? I also thought about a 3 day water fast but I wanna start with just eating raw fruits/veggies. How do I eat before/after a fast? Will I have energy? Pls answer my questions! Thanks

Detox and colon cleanse chemicals are unnecessary and unhealthy. At your age, height, and weight, you should not be even thinking of this kind of nonsense. Go to BMI for kids, http://kidshealth.org/kid/exercise/weight/bmi.html, and plug in your numbers. It will calculate your BMI (body-mass index), and then you go to the graph for girls to see if you are in the safe range for your age. If you are, leave well enough alone. Eat healthy meals (no excess fats or carbs) and get regular exercise, and stay healthy. As for your skin, ask a pharmacist about it for starters. There are OTC (over the counter) preparations available that can probably help. If not, you should be getting a prescription from your doctor.

Hey guys. I need to loose weight fast because I am going to a wedding and I need to fit in my tuxedo. Has anyone tried using a colon cleanse product? Do they work? What kind of colon cleanse product do you recommend? Thanks for your answers!!!!

No, colon cleanse is totally unnecessary, it can cause vomiting, nausea and abdominal cramps. It can cause a dangerous loss of water and electrolytes, which can lead to dehydration and even abnormal heart rhythms. It can upset the body’s own finely-tuned bacterial balance.
A study of the living human anatomy reveals that the colon is at no time dirty or clogged.

I started it on Friday, and I feel like instead of helping me go its harder for me to go. Sorry for the details. How fast should it start working and how will I know?

I really don’t know which colon cleanse you are using right now. But I take bromalite colon cleanse at night and the effect is seen in 8-10 hours. That is why I prefer using it before bed and in the morning the result gives me lots of relief and the day begins with lots of energy. You can try it. You can also read how it works, http://p.gs/csupy

I have been trying to lose weight, I’m doing good so far, Someone told me i should use colon cleanser to clear all the old foods in my body?

I am willing to try this; but what is the best one?

& how should I do it? I don’t wanna use it to fast so i won’t gain back all the pounds.

Also, colon cancer runs in my family serverly, so by doing this can it help prevent it?

There are colon cleans capsules sold through health food stores. When I purchased one for my husband I made sure that the label said "gentle".

The other things that help the colon is lots of vegetables, brown rice, and fruit. Things that are binding are flour products, cheese and dairy. A lack of water is also very binding because low water intake makes the stools very hard.

Beans of any kind, stews, salads are all good for your digestion. A probiotic is a source of good bacteria that helps the digestion. One theory about cancer is that it is due to fungus. www.cancerfungus.com has information about this. I have now read this from more than one different source (that cancer is caused by fungus). On the website address I gave you is an oncologist who wrote a book about this. If this is true, then probiotics help kill the bad bacteria that can lead to fungus problems.

Health is not a one step process but rather many steps, that make up the whole.

One diet that is supposed to be medically proven to have the most benefits health wise is the mediterranean diet. The link below is a great website to find out about this. Medical studies validate this as one of the healthiest diets to use.

Try eating better one step at a time. Oatmeal in the morning is said to help people lose weight. It tastes food, has fiber, and gives you good energy. This would be a good first step.

The second link below is an article about oatmeal. I eat it raw. I purchase old fashioned oats,wash them off in a screen colander, place in a bowl, add rice milk and a sweetener, and I find it delicious.

There you go. Hopefully you feel like I answered your question.

I want to lose weight fast, I mean who doesn’t, but I don’t know if I should trust the colon cleanse acai berry thing. I know it was on oprah.

Trust neither.
Acai berry will not aid weight loss. There are more antioxidants in fresh berries bought locally. Antioxidants do nothing to help weight loss.

The colon is self cleansing. It does not have (quote from link above) " all of this trapped in your colon, you are literally poisoning yourself little by little every day" That is 100% rubbish.

Anyone interested in detoxifying their body might think about paying a little more attention to their body and less attention to the people trying to get their money. The body already has nature’s most effective detoxification system. It’s called the liver.

Colon cleansing can cause a dangerous loss of water and electrolytes, which can lead to dehydration and even abnormal heart rhythms.

i am on the second day of fasting/ colon cleansing and im feeling sort of weak and shaky and tired. Is this a correct side affect? or s something wrong and im feeling a wrong feeling. and tomorrow, my 3rd day fasting, will i feel the same? weak and tired? i hear around the third day you feel energized and awake
im drinking water duhhhh

You won’t die, don’t listen to these people who have never tried it. It’s tough, but you’ll be fine. Good luck.

I have read about colon treatments on the web which involve fasting for quite a while (or just drinking liquids) but is the stuff you get from the health shops different and do they work? I also know that some doctors say it is unnatural to do this but surely once wont hurt? It’s to help my bloated tummy.

Most "colon cleanses" from shops (even health food stores) are just laxatives. If you suffer from IBS or bloating, it isn’t going to help. If your bloating is a one-time thing, try calming your system with lots of water and a vegetarian diet w/out grains and with copious amounts of live culture yogurt for a few days (but don’t eat your veggies raw, that can exacerbate bloating). Mix some flaxseed in w/the yogurt if you don’t like the plain taste. And yes, a proper colon cleanse (usually involving 2 colonics) should only be done during a juice fast or a modified fast.
