Maybe retarded was a bit too harsh, it just makes me angry when I see people fall for this ridiculous stuff. Let's put completely aside for second vitamin and mineral requirements, which by the way is nowhere near met by this insane "cleanse" and focus only on macro nutrients.
You realize your body requires carbohydrates, fats and proteins on a daily basis, right?
Do you really, really, really think it's a good to starve your body of those and supply only simple carbohydrates? No, it's silly. No real nutritionalist would tell you otherwise. There's much better ways to eat as a lifestyle for your health and weight than this craziness.
Listen to yourselves.. "After a few days you can surpress the hunger pains". Just think about that, just for a second. Your body is not only talking to you, it's fucking screaming. Listen to it.  |
You kind of have to just give up on a lot of people. To many it's a quasi-religious thing. You can't tell them there's no such thing as a detox diet. No matter how much evidence you provide them they'll never believe it. There are too many testimonials and people doing it... groupthink.. and it fits too neatly into our concept of self punishment for health and our fear of toxins in the modern environ. If people use it to lose weight I don't really care. It does that (if done properly and more thna a couple of days).
I've played around with my body weight and shape while researching diets and exercise regimes.. I've specifically tried to see how fast I can put on 22lbs and how fast I can take it off (about 30 days each way).. I'm not adverse to people crash dieting even though it's harmful. I think it's a good thing that people can become aware of the fact it's easy to lose weight and not be dragged down by other pessimistic fatties and think about what they're putting in their bodies.
But taking a short break from their shitty lifestyle's to "detox" for a week and then go right back to it "cleansed" is total bs and counter productive. 100% of people are better off just living a healthier lifestyle and eating less sugar/fat and more vegetables... but thats long ongoing.. blander.. and less of a mental statement than 7 days of starvation. In our quick fix society, who the hell wants to just eat healthy for the next 30 years when they can go on a 7 day placebo every 6 months?
Let em have it. What the hell do you care... It's darwinism as far as i'm concerned.
