Detoxing

[bigdogbob]

Hey all. Have just had a month off the gym :pfft: and want to do a detox before starting again. Has anyone tried any from health food shops they'd recommend???? Looking at a 2-4 week one.

3 in one, this is the best one, I suggest 7 days. But all depedant on what your diet was like.

I probably should have done this before I kicked into my clean eating plan I guess. Is doing detox really worth it?

Depends what your definition of a detox is, eating lots of fruit and veg, drinking loads of water, eating clean and cutting out the rubbish is the best. Don't waste money on supplements that could do more harm than good. If you have any illnesses or conditions you take meds for you should also check with your GP before going on a detox.

IMO detox diets=waste of time & money

THATS WHY WE WERE BORN WITH A LIVER & KIDNEYS!! hehe

Just get back to the gym and get eating right! \:D/

Little article on detox diets but there are hundreds more questioning safety and effectiveness out there on the internet.

yeah I agree with Kiwi28, only beneficial if you have a crap diet in general or have overindulged say festive season, new year.

If your diet is generally clean then why would you bother, it would be a waste.

I have inadvertently found that eating 500gms oats for a day has a detoxifying effect on the body...about 3 times a day :evil:

I was speaking to someone recently who was considering the Lemon Detox Diet. I've always been a bit sceptical of detoxing, but I was horrified to find this "diet" consisted of replacing all meals for 10-14 days with a mix of lemon juice and a proprietary mix of palm- and maple-syrup. :roll:

there is no need to detox unless your diet is poor,you smoke,and/or drink really. the word 'detox' is simply just a marketing term and has no medical meaning at all. if you look on the back of the detox diet packages sold inhealth shops most of whats in it are the vitamins and minerals which are found in multi vitamins. i think detox diets are a wastre of time and money.sticking to drinking water is the best solution.hope this helps

ewwwwwwwww thanks android!

Yep I agree with most of the comments here. Clean eating, lots of green vegies, lean good sources of protein and as much water as possible will clean you out (detox) you real good. I need to do this :? Shame it doesn't include red wine :shifty:

sounds like that hollywood diet that the stupid celebs use to get into a size 6.

I do agree that lemon juice in warm water on an empty stomach when rising, is good to stimulate digestive juices. That's all I would do

or colonic would do the trick if your feeling bloated and yuk, last resort though. heheh :pfft:

"Detox" = scientifically proven to be completely worthless. More harm than good in most cases, I would say.

Just be healthy, your body will detoxify itself. Following a detox programme will not enhance this in any way.

Only 3 times a day! LOL

- I used to have 3-4 Oat shakes a day (cup of oats w/ 300 mL water, blend that sh*t and drink it fast!!) and it certainly "gets things going!!!"
