I was just wandering how you can eat raw vegetable? I can’t imagine munching on a raw brussel sprout for instants might break my teeth lol

I’m thankful for Cris and Keith. I guess everyone digested pieces of info that’s best with their quest for detoxification. Just don’t take it personally guys.

I have been detoxing fpr 7days now and my sense of smell has drastically improved. I’m having a more restful sleep at nights, and can see some benefits in my skin also .
The first 3-4 days is the most difficult but after that ‘Mr Willpower’ kicks in and you feel great! I would suggest to research recipes and try new things out so you dont get too bored eating fruit and veg. For the best results I recommend eating fruit until 12pm and the remainder of the day purely veg and small portions of carbohydrates. You should not feel hungry as you can eat as much fruit and veg as you would like.
I have 3 more days to go . . wish me luck

actually keith i did read exactly what you said…and i will repeat myself that you in fact gave a lot of false information…you said if someone is looking to lose weight quick on a fasting/detox diet that they are sadly mistaken that it will work…then you go on to mention that” NOTHING” but changing your diet and exercise will get rid of weight and keep it off…well im sorry sir but that is just not true…while in fact yes what you mentioned about a good diet and exercise is a great way to lose weight and certainly to be recommended , it is indeed NOT the only way and most certainly not the quickest way to start…and like i mentioned before i am living proof that folks will NOT be sadly mistaken (as you say)that other methods can get rid of the weight fast and keep it off…again i lost 70lbs in about month and a half AND i have kept off all the weight now that i am on a good diet and exercising daily…now please try and tell me of anybody in the history of the earth that has lost that much weight that fast with JUST a healthy diet and exercise to start with…sorry you wont…takes a LOT longer, even though you will definitely achieve weight loss results eventually….and of course it is a no brainer that if you return to eating junk and crap food NO MATTER HOW YOU LOSE THE WEIGHT , you will gain it all back……however one correct sentence by you in a paragraph full of incorrect statements just isnt a productive message..and then there is your next paragraph about your information on how the body and mind feels during a detox and the reasons you gave for this..and even though i cant get inside the head of somebody else, like you somehow did, i know from my own personal experience that the entire paragraph on the subject by you is extremely misleading and narrow….now of course i am just one of many and your comments about pre determined notions and sugar loaded fruit (which wouldnt even be possible on a water detox)might actually apply to some people in certain detox scenarios…however you did not put it that way and were coming across as that information being VERY general and VERY standard, which is incorrect….and as far as giving you references about fasting and detoxing and healing the body all being documented, i dont feel it my duty to indulge you in that way by taking the enormous amount of time that it took me to do the research on my own…..and the immature personal attacks like “i am a joke” and “i am naive” also kinda kills the motivation for me from wanting to take that time for you as well…keep in mind i only disagreed with you and stated that i believe your COMMENTS were wrong and sometimes grossly wrong….BUT i never once attacked you personally like you have me …BIG DIFFERENCE…that being said, you have a computer, you have internet, you know of a library, you can look up nutritionist in the phone book and call around….and i promise you will get what you ask for….now even though i was only assuming that there were “thousands” of cases, i myself found about hundred or so in about a months time of research and assumed i didnt find ALL of the documented cases in the world…lol…AND i gave the three movies that i watched that also documented these things….and no keith im not naive enough to believe everything i read on the internet…why do you think i completely disagreed with most of your comments… so now the people have your comments and they also have mine…and basically since we just repeated ourselves from our original comments, why dont we just let those that read what we have to say do their own research and decide for themselves what is best for them……take care keith

Also Chris show me these study’s since the 1900′s and I want you to specifically name these toxins and how they’re harmful. I also want a study of before and after a detox that shows levels of this harmful substance to the body that has greatly reduced because of this detoxing and nothing else.

If you body didn’t get rid of toxins it’s own way and all they did was build and build and build up people would not live a long time. And your detox you lost 70 pounds from detoxing? Apparently you didn’t actually understand what I said, 2 weeks of flushing these “toxins” from your body and going abouts your normal eating habits isn’t going to do anything beneficial. My guess is that you changed every aspect of your diet around to be well balanced. Of course doing that your going to lose weight. My comment was geared towards these 2 week detox plans where you’ll lose weight quickly those 2 weeks and afterwards gain most back bc it’s mostly waterweight anyhow. I have done plenty of research on my own. You and these detox plans are nothing but laughable empty hope to fat people. Here’s a messege to all overweight ppl, get off the couch balance your diet out if you need help with an excersize regiment or diet ask me I have plenty of info and are probably more well rounded to this subject then most.

Funny how Chris had nothing to say about my other comments about balanced diet with good proteins and good carbs. Chris you’re a joke my information comes from reputable websites such as webmd and so on, go ahead look it up. Also are you naive enough to. Believe everythin you read on the Internet as well?

this is in response to the last comment by keith…i usually dont respond to such comments…but seeing that somebody could actually read his comments, believe what he is saying ,and then become discouraged, would be a tragidy in my mind….first i want to point out that keiths claim that there is no scientific proof that detox removes toxins and heals the body, is so far from the truth that it is actually laughable…all anyone has to do is search online and you will find THOUSANDS of actual documented cases of fasting, detoxing, and healing that have been done with specific studys by scientist and nutritionist since the early 1900′s…second fact that keith is completely wrong about is weight loss…again there are many documented cases of dramatic weight loss AND i myself am living proof that you will lose about a pound a day on a fast and keep it off (70lbs in my case)…and the only way you gain it back is if you go right back to your bad eating habits…and finally the last thing keith is wrong about is the energy and feel good feeling as being just you and your brain fooling your body??…ive never heard such rubbish in my life…he also says its because of the large amounts of sugar from the fruits…well i have done two water fast without the fruit juice and i get that same energy and euphoric feeling after about a week, and trust me when i say my brain is doing anything but trying to help me…if anything it is SCREAMING food food food…so to all that read this and other comments, PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE just do your research with many different sources such as internet and library and you will be able to just laugh and quickly move on from false information that people such as keith have so boldly tried to pass on as fact…good luck with your detox! ps..also movies like fat sick and nearly dead, food matters,forks over knives are also VERY good sources of documentation and information concerning food, detoxing, and healing the body

There is ZERO actual evidence that body detoxification works. These fad diets make claims that toxins build up in your system over time but there isnt a shred of evidence of this ‘fact’. These people make you believe “toxins!! Toxins!!!!! Everywhere! Youre going to die!! ” the actual truth in the matter is your body does a perfectly fine job at ridding sweeteners, pesticides, and other toxins within hours of consumption or exposure.

If you are looking to these diets as a get thin and lose weight quick skeem you are sadly mistaken. Nothing but balanced diet containing whole foods, many fruits and vegetables plenty of complex/complete protein (low fat lean meats like chicken and fish, not plant proteins, they don’t support muscle developement and health.). Also good quality carbs such as oats, brown rice and wheat bread. Eating like this with plenty of excersize is the healthiest and best way to lose weight. Any weight you lose durin your detox period will quickly gain right back as you return to your normal eating habits.

In closing these quick detox regimes are psuedo/junk science at best. If you do try the diet and feel better, more energetic and possibly euphoric, it’s most likely caused by two factors: the placebo effect (you have a pre-determined notion you’re going to feel better so your brain will make you believe you’re better) and also you’re not used to eating anything but fast food, hohos and gummy bears so OF COARSE you will get a boost of energy eating nothing but sugar loaded fruit.

PS when our ancient ancestors were able to cook food such as meat, it IS easier to diges and acted as rocket fuel for our hungry hungry brains. Cooking our food rapidly spead up the evolution of our brains.
