You take the fruit diet for 2 weeks and then strat eating wheat bread , brown rice and tuna …cucumbers ..and jilt the soda . More water …and eat 3 meals in a day

Jill answers:

By simply drinking water and fresh fruit juices everyday, liquid detoxifies your body and eliminates toxins.

Jill answers:

You’re right that changing your diet will likely result in weight changes. What are you planning on eating during the “detox”? I’d recommend plenty of fruit (that you’re fairly sure you’re not allergic to) and vegetables, and eliminate the canned, processed and boxed/frozen foods. For your grains, oatmeal with some brown sugar ought to do the trick to stay as plain and natural as possible. So if you shop at the outer edges of your local supermarket, you’ll find the foods most healthy for you. The exceptions would be the oatmeal and brown sugar, and frozen veggies are an easy food to make and are quite filling and good for you.

Jill answers:

Actually, detoxing won’t specifically force weight loss and often the weight that’s lost just from the detox is either just a few ounces of toxins/wastes (not enough to notice a difference on the scale) or it’s just feces that you will replenish when you eat food anyway (so it’s only temporary weight loss).

Either way, it’s very negligible weight loss, so you won’t have to worry about that. Also, if you’re looking to gain weight, I would suggest consulting a nutritionist or dietitian to find the best and safest way to gain weight through diet and exercise (eg. Weight lifting). Good luck and I hope I helped!

Jill answers:

An active zeolite is what you are looking for, it is effective for detoxification as well as bringing your systems to be more strong at any harmful elements and help rid toxins.

Jill answers:

What ever it is, its not going to help you lose weight. Fat in your body needs to be burnt. It just cant be removed by eating or drinking something. I am not sure but probably Master Cleanse could be clearing your bowels which helps to reduce weight but its not burning fat. In order to have long term weight loss, you need to burn fat.

The most important part about losing weight is being able to keep it off. You can only keep the weight loss off if the weight loss came from losing fat and not water or muscles. None of the people who successfully kept the weight off, took Master Cleanse. Here is some interesting information on what people who lost weight and kept it off, did ; http://correct-weight-loss.net/2009/11/05/what-does-it-really-take-to-maintain-weight-loss/

Jill answers:

It’s pseudo-scientific pap, like all “detox” diets and like all starvation diets, it will make you lose substantial amounts of muscle tissue along with plenty of water and a bit of fat. In short, it’s a waste of time and health. Continue working out, and stop eating junk and fast food and drink sugary sodas.

Jill answers:

If you keep living with the “i want it now” attitude you’ll get no where.

Agreed with the above poster, exercise the old, right, hard but true way.

Also, I’ve taken a class (still not an expert mind you) that I’ve learned that you have good bacteria in your digestive system that may be wiped out during your cleanse.

Besides now that I think about it, I have done some research on detoxification and know your body is good enough to clean itself on it’s own.

Have faith in your body, it’s kept you going this far, no?

Jill answers:

It’s not healthy to do the master clense for that long. 2 weeks is the maximum time you should do the diet. Yes it does work but it puts your body into starvation mode, so you feel cold and tired. You body burns fat AND MUSCLE to give it’s self energy. When you go back to eating you body is still in stavation mode so it stores as much fat as it can, so the end result is you gain the weight back plus some more, the only thing you lose is your muscle and your self esteam. I hate to be negitive but take if from some one who’s done this…. It’s a bad idea!
Try a healthy slow diet, you will feel great while you do it and the weight loss will be permanant. Take care and all the best!

Jill answers:

It is very unhealthy. Your doing nothing but slowing down your metabolism. When you go into starvation mode especially without any protein, your body resorts to muscle for fuel, hangs on to fat stores(survival mechanism) and the less mucle you have the lower your metabolism will be. Don’t eat any less than 1200 calories a day.

Jill answers:

It sounds to me more like something associated with Crohns disease, ulcerative colitis, irritable bowel.

There are many different diseases and problems associated with all of the various components of the digestive tract. You can only get a competent answer from a doctor who can actually examine you and ask a lot of questions that will help to exclude, or include, various possible diagnoses.

Jill answers:

But Leanne….. You told us that your doctor did diagnose bowel cancer!!!
Oh i forgot god cured you didn’t he!!hahahahaha
To answer your question, so much mucous and shit comes out of your mouth that it is just being overloaded…so now it is coming out you ass!

Jill answers:

Hello, I dont know much about this topic but I have a grandfather who has the same issues… I found this site for him and hope that maybe it helps you…

The signs and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome can vary widely from person to person and often resemble those of other diseases. Among the most common are:

Abdominal pain or cramping
A bloated feeling
Gas (flatulence)
Diarrhea or constipation — sometimes alternating bouts of constipation and diarrhea
Mucus in the stool

Many people with colon cancer experience no symptoms in the early stages of the disease. When symptoms appear, they’ll likely vary, depending on the cancer’s size and location in your large intestine.

Signs and symptoms of colon cancer include:

A change in your bowel habits, including diarrhea or constipation or a change in the consistency of your stool for more than a couple of weeks
Rectal bleeding or blood in your stool
Persistent abdominal discomfort, such as cramps, gas or pain
Abdominal pain with a bowel movement
A feeling that your bowel doesn’t empty completely
Weakness or fatigue
Unexplained weight loss

Jill answers:

IT MAY BE NOTHING AT ALL BUT ANY BOWEL CHANGES SHOULD BE THOROUGHLY CHECKED OUT…i am surprised that you have not gone before now if you have been passing unusual stools for a couple of years. I know that we all get embarrassed about such private things but trust me…as a nurse i can tell you that we see intimate problems everyday of the week and your GP won’t bat an eyelid. GOOD LUCK AND DONT PUT IT OFF ANY LONGER…

Angels are ministering spirits sent to protect the saints (believers). They are very real……praise God.

That is an awesome story…….I love to hear those testimonies.

Jill answers:

I’ve been using acai berry products for a couple of months now and I’ve noticed that yes they do work. I used them when I wanted to trim off about 15lbs.

I knew that diet and exercise alone would help achieve that goal alone but I needed something to help me with my mid afternoon snacking urges. This is where I found the acai berry really helped me.

It helped to curb those mid afternoon urges which meant when I went out jogging later that night I wasn’t just jogging to work off that bag of Doritios I snacked on around 3pm instead I was actually working off the weight I wanted..

After a couple months I now no longer needed the supplements and can manage my weight more easily, so I found that yes they really did help speed up my weight loss goals when I used them along with a diet and exercise program, as the berries gave me more energy and helped to curb my appetite

I got my free trial bottle from the site below

Jill answers:

Colon cleansers are generally not used for weight loss. They are usually used to get rid of parasites. If you want to loose weight, eating properly and exercise is the best way. Wwrn

Jill answers:

I have been through it all and know what’s it about. The main thing is to stick in there. You can’t be an addict to food and never exercise if you want to live a healthy life and keep the weight off. I’ve worked out, done every diet, and all types of classes.

Nothing works, besides dedication and intelligence towards the subject of losing weight.

First, depending on how much weight you need to lose, your diet is the first concern. You can’t eat 10,000 calories a day and expect the weight to come off, even if you are exercising a lot. Which brings us to the next thing. Duh, Exercising…

This is a must especially if you need to a lot of weight. Get at least 30 mins of some good hardcore exercising. Do some cardio, in the long run, it’s good for the heart.

However, I find the most hardest part of losing weight/keeping it off, in my diet. It’s so hard to keep your fingers out of the cookie jar or those chocolate goodies. I’ve found a great addition to help any one out, it’s a natural weight loss supplement called Proactol. Now don’t get all crazy on me and say diet pills don’t work. That is true, but not in this case. This one isn’t meant to burn pounds while you sit on the couch. It’s an appetite suppressant, along with being a fat binder. I saved money on the pills at theweightlossplace dot com along with getting some good info. It basically makes those fingers not go towards the cookie jar. For me it’s the best pill I’ve tried and I’ve tried cupboards full. Now this doesn’t mean you have to follow my foot steps but I’ve successfully lost roughly 70 pounds and keeping it off til this day.

Well good luck and remember what I said, Dedicate.

Jill answers:

One of the best home remedies for colon cleansing is to increase the intake of foods such as fresh vegetables and fruits that are high in fiber. Fiber provides roughage which enhances the digestive function and also ensures that the stools are soft and can thereby be easily eliminated. One should also drink plenty of clean drinking water throughout the day as this ensures that the body and the digestive system are well hydrated and harmful toxins are flushed out of the body. There are also various natural herbs that are used as home remedies for colon cleansing. These include aloe leaf which is a very good laxative, ginger that tends to reduce bloating as it stimulates the colon and also flax seeds which tend to increase the peristaltic motion and the intestinal volume which in turn helps in the movement of the bowels. Another one of the home remedies for colon cleansing is to consume fennels seeds which help to eliminate and mucus from the colon. Garlic is also a natural remedy for colon cleansing as it helps in reducing parasites and also tends to eliminate harmful toxins form the body. Another natural treatment for colon cleansing is to eat plenty of fish as they are rich in Omega 3 fatty acids, which help in proper digestion, thereby promoting good colon health.

Here’s a weightloss tea formula you can do but you need to minimize processed food & sweets in order for it to work. Plus add cardio 20 min. A day.

Jill answers:

Colon cleansers are a waist of money.
It’s a new (strange)fad.
You will lose a few pounds the first time and thats it. Just type in “colon cleansers” (with the quotes) on yahoo search.
I think the very 1st link has some reviews from scientists that say there harmful over time.

Do it right…. Eat right, exercise.
