I have heard that some detox diets can help you loose weight, because your colon can be blocked with rubbish and poisons (mostly from meat). Is this true?

It’s absolute, utter and complete rubbish. Colons do not get ‘blocked’: it just doesn’t happen.

Yes they are extremely helpful if you stick to them and don’t cheat. The part about your colon is true to it really helps

Well if you’re on a juice and water detox, you will lose a lot of water weight rapidly, however, this is not permanent weight loss and will come back on as fast as it came off the minute you start eating again.

yeah actually red meats can take up to 3 years to digest.. and you don’t have to buy a ‘detox plan diet’, just eat fruit for 24 hours.. like natural fruit not canned and your detoxified.

I would just try sticking your vacuum cleaner up there and ******* it out that way.

Yes. Once a month I pick a day when I don’t eat at all. I just drink water and maybe some fruit juice.
It does help me feel better, more energized and I also lose 3-4 lbs each time.

eat less and excercise.

yep.
but dont expect to loose much.
in the long run you will loose more after the detox.. since your body will become very responsive.
for example, exercixe will be much easier and results will come much faster.
be careful tough, since people somtimes confuse detox wiht starvation and that can kill you fast.

Yes, they can help. I have had good experiences with them. But it only helps to start a diet. I tried the Hollywood 48 hour miracle diet. But you have to drink all the water that it reccommneds and not eat anything at all. Once you are done on the diet however, you cannot just eat whatever you want. You have to start light and slowly build it up eating mostly vegetables and protein untill you are eating a healthy diet. I lost 5 pounds on the detox diet.

I am on a very good detox program right now. I disagree with the first guy I have had many health issues in my life and this program has cleared up so many of them. And yes, I have lost some weight its been about a month since I’ve started and I’ve lost 8 lbs. plus I’ve had a dry rash for over 3 years and it is now gone. We put in so much crap in our bodies like preservatives,chemicals,metals and our bodies don’t know how to eliminate the. Try one for your self. I am happy I did. I use Dr. Natura brand.

Not only that but, Detox goes back to what we original ate before the Industrial age, where everything now is chemically processed and injected with hormones to grow.
Not only do you gain weight from fat and sugars your body doesn’t recognize these chemicals and doesn’t know how to process them so it stores it away in your fat. Making harder than ever to lose weight.
So your body is remarkable thing bcuz, it can reset itself by detoxing and releases all those toxins from the body.
Detox isn’t about blending stuff together and drinking it, it about eating fruits, vegetable, nuts and grains… etc. All things that come from nature in natural organic form.
