Juice cleanses don't work?
 

I type this with a heavy heart since I'm on my fifth day of a juice, nuts, and flaxseed regimen. So far, I've lost eight pounds.

What Happens in Your Body During a "Cleanse" or "Detox"

Anyway, I'll know for sure if juicing is bogus once (if) I hit day 21 of my new diet regimen.

Gene do you still have that outsourcing company?

Hey SOS! How are you? Long time no hear.

Yes, SOS. Let me know if you need any outsourced mainstream content or marketing campaigns. We do SEO outreach now. Completely Penguin-safe.

Love juice cleanses!!!!! I do a 7 day juice cleanse every year after Christmas to lose the holiday baby fat. Normally I drink cold pressed juice after my workout. Its filling enough to skip lunch and make it to dinner. I do this 3 times a week.

Its impressive you're doing 21 days.

The problem with any type of limited diet is that once you go back to eating regularly, you will likely gain any weight you lost back. Anytime you make an extreme change in what you are eating, you lose weight--period. Even if you choose to just eat donuts for 21 days, you WILL loose weight.

The problem comes in not learning to change your eating habits outside the fasting and balancing nutrition with exercise and what-not. So no--juice fasts don't work for losing weight in the long term.

Cleanses and/or detoxes are 100% absolute nonsense. Don't waste your time and starve your body of its actual macro and micro nutrient requirements for some voodoo pseudo science that doesn't even take basic biology in to account.

Just a juice cleanse? Go big or go home ...

I can lose 20 lbs in about 24 hours with a sauna, doesn't make it healthy though.

losing lbs from body fat is what gets people healthier. no juice for that one.

what fruit/veggie juice combination do you use?

From a simple perspective of anatomy and physiology and bio chem, of course its not healthy for you. Nothing about it is good for you. Eat right. Exercise. Reduce stress... end of story.

Excellent way to start your recovery after workout... a shot of sugar and water and then skip meals (post workout being the most important) and deprive yourself of absolutely everything your body needs for growth, repair and recovery. Sounds like a winning formula. Anyone that does any sort of strenuous physical activity, is involved in athletics or spends time in the gym understands that skipping meals has nothing but positive benefits.

ROFL! :thumbsup

Most people can't lose fat because they're too lazy and can't be bothered doing exercise and eating right.
