After reading these and more, I personally am now disgusted by Gwyneth Paltrow. Anyone who implied that laxative use is good for weight loss, is an idiot and encouraging unsafe behaviors.

Just in case you don't feel like reading the whole article, I can sum it up for you. This woman decided to try the metamorphisis plan. She did lose some weight (partly because the diet has you on about 700 calories per day), and she was happy about that. However, she says this about the side effects:
"On the downside I feel woozy and find it difficult to concentrate. At first I had loads of energy but now I'm always tired and am told I'm horribly grouchy to boot. My skin is terrible and my nails are flaking and weak. And - how can I put this - my system has become, shall we say, somewhat sluggish. Normally I'm as regular as clockwork. Not any more."
[QUOTE]the one in the artical is 21 days long it seems, this is only 7 days but they do seem similar in what you can and cannot eat. I honestly dont want to lose any weight, I was just told that doing a clense cleans out your system and helps kinda reboot it, Im not an expert so I honestly have no idea, I did reserch it and found some people liked it and it helped clear up their skin and some people couldnt do it and never finished. Gwyneth Paltrow as a person I have no opinion I'm not a fan of hers or anything so I honestly dont want to be like her or anything lol. Trust me Im not doing this to lose weight in any means I believe in exersice and eating right.

I guess what people are trying to say is that this program does not count as "eating right."
[QUOTE]do you think this could actually make my skin worse then??? i thought detox cleanse were ok since like everyone has them out even Jilian Micheals i just thought they were safe if they were natural
Posted by lilangel8186[/QUOTE]
Yes, I think it could make your skin worse, those obviously I don't know for sure. Everyone's body is different.
Still, lack of proper nutrition for any extended period of time is not good for you. It doesn't make sense to me: why would my body work better when I am treating it worse?
[QUOTE]I see I understand, but is there a healthy way to cleanse your system? I've heard that toxins and etc build up from everday life and that sometimes its good to cleanse i know we get rid of toxins in our skin through sweat sometimes
Posted by lilangel8186[/QUOTE]
Your body is actually really good at getting rid of everyday "toxins." That's one of the reasons you have a liver. Our bodies are remarkable efficient at processing things.
If you are really concerned with toxins, just try avoiding them in the first place! Don't eat crap--eat a well-balanced diet of fruits and vegetables, high-quality proteins, whole grains, and good fats (like nuts and avocados). If you don't put bad stuff into your body, you don't have to worry about getting it out of your body.
Can I ask about your skin troubles, what you've tried, and what you're currently doing?
Everything the light touches is my kingdom.
[QUOTE]I honestly have just been having so much trouble with my skin lately and someone told me that doing a detox would help, thats what started my search in the begininng, I thank you ladies for all your information its been rreally helpful, I think waht Im going to do is follow her recipies (since i bought all the groceries already) lol but incorporate my own foods in it also so I'm reciving more nutrients but it will be no processed foods only natural more fruits and veggies! does that sound healthier? or am i still way off
Posted by lilangel8186[/QUOTE]
Honestly that sounds way better. Eat enough, but eat "clean." If you need to track your nutrients, I think you can do that on a site like Livestrong on Sparkpeople. Also, if you suspect that a food sensitivity is causing your skin problems, pay attention to your diet and how it relates to your skin--for example, maybe your skin always gets worse a day or two after you eat a particular food.
I'd also suggest talking to a doctor or a licensed dietician/nutritionist. They might be able to help you with the skin-nutrition connection better than we can.
Take care of yourself and good luck with everything.
I'll keep track and see if it is maybe a food tolerance I didnt even think of that.
