What about the diet

I am hearing about this four week body cleanse that you can do a month b-4 the wedding and you will lose 25lbs, it doesn't sound possible. I am already trying to diet but not going overboard, does anyone have any safe diet ideas, or has anyone heard of the acui diet fruit diet along with the colon cleanse, and if so is it safe and does it work

Re: What about the diet

  • Any rapid weight loss system like this can be dangerous.  You don't want to drop weight that quickly.  Healthy eating and exercise is the way to go.  These cleanses are crash diets and are very unhealthy.

  • Please read the sticky about crash diets.  Cleanses are considered crash diets.  Please don't risk your health for one day of looking good.

  • Healthy sustainable weight loss happens at a rate of 1-2 lbs (or about 1% of your body weight) per week.  Much more than that likely isn't "true" weight loss.

  • I have no idea what these colon cleanses are, but as someone who has had many a colonoscopy I can tell you that I have had my colon absolutely empty of anything and it makes no difference.  You may weight a few pounds less, but nothing has changed except that you have lost some "waste", which will be replenished once you start eating normally again.  Your percentage of fat and muscle have not changed at all.
