Well try this crazy thing PUT DOWN THE FORK!!lol

Cindy answers:

The Master Cleanse for 10 days and then the Raw Food Diet for a while.

Cindy answers:

Can you lose weight on this diet? Technically yes. The reason they work is because the diet indicates calorie restriction during the course of the diet. Your weight loss will be only from calorie restriction, not from the lemon detox. You could eat anything you wanted if you took in less than 800 calories as directed by this diet.

My suggestion would be to take an appetite suppressor instead. This will actually just make a calorie restricted diet easier to bear / possible. Hoodia would is a decent one and if you are a heavy soda or coffee junky, caffeine pills will also help (including midol which has caffeine). The caffeine pills will take the edge off of your soda/coffee cravings and is an appetite suppressor on it own.

Of course you know that the effectiveness of any supplement is relatively ineffective without an exercise program.

Cindy answers:

Uhm, I do a water fast/detox and I lose 6lbs generally. If you are always drinking ice water its clearing the toxins out of your body and speeding up your motabalism, so you lose more weight.
Bleh, all I can say is, a detox works for me

Cindy answers:

Just from personal experience… I would NEVER mix anything like diet pills with the Lexapro.

I take a antidepressant as well, and I thought about diet pills and asked my doctor and everything. They Ok’d it, but in all reality I could feel the difference from the diet pills b/c my antidepressant was somehow being affected.

But if your worried ask the pharmacist. They can help, or run it by your doctor.

My advice is, vitamins are OK. Anything else I wouldn’t risk it ever again.

Good luck.

Cindy answers:

No. Whatever is in the pills is designed to motivate your hormones to give you more energy. Since EVERYTHING you eat or drink goes straight to your breast milk, your infant will ingest this. By reasoning, this product is NOT designed for breast-fed infants.

Since you are a nursing mother, you need rest to recover from pregnancy and delivery. It took 9 months for your body to get completely out of shape, so it will take at least that same amount of time get back in shape. Don’t look at the movie stars for an example. What they do is extreme anyways and isn’t healthy. Sleep when your child sleeps. That is what is supposed to happen during this time. Eat healthy foods – have more almonds and fresh fruit. This is what your brain needs for energy, and your baby will benefit.

Cindy answers:

Don’t do cleansing diets.Your body can “cleanse” itself. Just eat normal healthy food.

Cindy answers:

Actually, the water should be luke warm.

Ice water could shock the body!

Cindy answers:

There is no easy way to lose weight. Fast or otherwise. Fast weight loss is unhealthy and can lead to death.

Begin to exercise EVERY SINGLE DAY. Even if it’s just a good walk. You must make time for this. If you combine cardio-vascular (heavy breathing running/biking/etc. With some weight lifting all the better for faster weight loss). You must create a metabolism that burns what you eat. You must be active to burn what you eat.

Stop eating refined sugar and sweets. No soda. No candy. No chocolate bars. No sweet cereal. No fruit juice. No pastries or desserts – eat an apple.

Stop eating processed foods and fast foods. Eat freshly prepared foods like chicken and vegetables, etc.

Stop eating fried foods and fatty meats – no fast food chicken, fried fish, french fries, mcdonalds etc.

Eat whole grain bread. No white bread or bagels or scones or croissants.

Eat fruits and vegetables.

Eat lean high protein meats – chicken and fish – non fatty cuts of beef.

No sausages or hot dogs. Cut back on cheese – only lower fat mozarella, etc.

You will lose weight and feel so much better and happier!

Cindy answers:

Your question is a medical question. If it is a product the label should give you the information.

Cindy answers:

Any kind of detox often shows up on your skin, this is the toxins being released from your body. It will clear up if you keep going, just wait it out. If it starts to itch, though, or gets red or irritated, you may be having an allergic reaction.

Cindy 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.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.

Cindy answers:

Detoxes in general help to regulate your system. You loose weight from what has built up in your intestines. The weight you lose will probably be water weight. But a detox will help your future weight loss.

Cindy answers:

Actually, your on the right track. Your intestines and colon build up ‘junk” on the walls…just like your kitchen shink pipes do. When you detox you are taking the “junk” off the walls off by Layers. Especially if your an eat meater before all the waste stuck in your system just was rotting. It takes time to remove all the years of bad eating from your system.

Your doing great..keep it up!

Cindy answers:

It’s a load of money making rubbish.
The body is self detoxing.
We have skin, lungs, kidneys and liver to do it for us.
Colon cleanse just gives people holistic diarrhoea and upsets the delicate balance of flora in the gut.

Cindy answers:

Hi, I don’t want to harp on about feeling good about yourself so I’ll just try and focus on realistic weight loss. The huge problem with detox diets is they may work for a week BUT it’s mainly water weight and stuff, so you will put on even more weight after this and be far worse off. The weight will be more fat and just not good.

The only and best way to lose weight effectively and long term is to just start eating better, less sugar and fatty snacks, more veges, good carbs and meat (pref. Lean). Discuss with your parents about wanting to eat healthier if they don’t already push it.

Use the following calculator to work out how many calories you should eat to reach your goal weight by a certain date (based on how much physical activity you specify). Yellow numbers indicate very low calorie intake and red numbers show impossible goals. It will help you adjust your goal.

If you can be patient and do this properly, you will succeed and be much happier. Good luck!

Cindy answers:

It depends on what you mean by “detox diet”. If you are referring to the lemon diet or something like that, then they can be more harmful than helpful. But choosing ot cut out processed foods, and maybe spending a day or two only consuming raw foods (great time of the year to do it) can help you feel better, and give your body a bit of a rest from all of the rubbish that might normally go into it. It can help with weight loss also, because when your body is “cleaner” it works and therefore metabolises more efficiently.
The less stress there is on organs such as the liver, the less likely the possibility of your hormones being awry and causing problems such as syndrome x, which does tend to mess up your metabolism and contribute to weight gain.

Cindy answers:

Why not just do the lemon diet?

Cindy answers:

There are no diets that can make you beautiful ….however you will have better skin and feel better inside-once you remove the toxins from your body, and that sometimes helps with confidence that can make you friendlier and you will attract more people which will make you feel beautiful inside…good luck!
