Do Detox Cleansing Diets Really Work?
- 4 Comment
Normally I don’t talk much about dieting and fad programs but all the talk about detox cleansing has me curious so I went looking after seeing a news report on it this morning. There are as many cleansing products on the market as there are diet pills. The one i chose simply because it seemed appropriate was the Fat Flush Cleanse. As with any diet consult your doctor before you start.
What does the Fat Flush Cleanse do exactly you may be asking? Well it is supposed to flush out your liver to jump start it on the road to helping a person burn fat. Dramatic Pause: Most things that I know of that flush out clogs are corrosive and not something I want flowing through me put I just work here.
Back to the detoxing, the Fat Flush works in three phases:
- Eliminate alcohol and caffeine, reduce your calorie intake to 1200 calories. Increase your protein levels, don’t mix milk and meat or fruits and vegetables. Don’t drink water with your meals. *blank stare* Exercise moderately.
- Increase calorie intake to 1400 per day, but stick to the rules laid out in step one.
- Increase calorie intake to 1500 per day and add additional exercise possibly weight training.
On the surface this cleansing sounds like your garden variety high protein low carb plan. The part that concerns me is the no water with meals and not mixing of foods. Additionally, the extremely low calorie count in the beginning with only light exercise raises and additional question. The information that I have found on it also does not cover how long you will stay on each phase before proceeding to the next one.
Because I am a person that likes to try things that can be done naturally I am going to try this plan and report my findings to you guys. If there is anyone that has tried this and is willing to speak about their experience I would love to hear from you.

The ads at the top of your posts are coming through your feeds; they also appear to not be the same ads all the time. What caused me to notice it was huge text that said, “I HATE MY BELLY FAT.”
Just figured you might want to know.

Lindsay,
Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I haven’t seen that particular ad but I will make sure that it gets deleted from the list of ads that show.
