Posts Tagged ‘Weight Gain’

hi, im looking into these two options:
a body wrap (they wrap your bod in clay and make you sweat all of your water out) or
the master cleanse diet (a 10 day diet that makes you eat nothing but lemons, water and pepper)

the body wrap sounds less painful, but way more expensive. 200$ v. 27$

i just wanted to know if anyone has tried either of these and how they went. side effects, weight gain after woods, etc.

They’re both a waste of money.

I’ve done bodywraps in countries where it’s much cheaper to get them done, and I did them more for entertainment value than anything else. They feel nice, but the reality is that they don’t really do anything for you for the long run.

The master cleanse diet can actually be dangerous. Any weight you lose on it will be regained.

There are so many detox cleansers that im not sure which one to choose. I dont want to spend money on something that doesnt work. so does anyone know which one is the best and where i can find, especially ones in local stores like walgreens or walmart.

Hi Goffey,

Many people detox to lose weight (hence the many varieties of starvation detox diets) or use it in order to continue with unhealthy and over-indulgent lifestyles! The dangers come in when people chose unsafe detox methods without considering the harmful side-effects, such as colonic irrigation, or liquid-diets that rob the body of essential nutrients.

It is therefore important to explore detox options and choose one that gently assists the body, without causing any harm during the process. It is also not advisable to use detoxing as a quick fix weight-loss plan as this promotes “yo-yo” dieting that has been linked with weight-gain.

Natural and homeopathic remedies have been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years to assist the body’s natural detoxification at home by ridding itself of waste and toxins, therefore cleansing the organs. In more recent times, research has confirmed this traditional wisdom.

There are now various published clinical studies demonstrating the ability of a range of herbs to support the cleansing properties of certain herbs. Natural detoxification at home is easy through the routine flushing out of the stomach, and digestive system – supporting toxin elimination by the liver.

Studies have also shown natural substances to help the body remain regular and assist in the body’s ability to rid itself of waste products.

Dandelion and Fennel are just two herbs that have been used throughout history to cleanse and aid body detoxification, rejuvenate liver functioning, and kick-start the body back to life! Pelargonium reniforme is another ingredient that also works on promoting optimal liver functioning and supporting the body’s natural ability to break down and eliminate fat for a natural detoxification.

One such natural remedy is http://www.healthherbsandnutrition.com/products/detoxdrops.htm which has gained considerable popularity due to its zero side effects, support realistic and healthy weight management programs, and its supportive function in maintaining liver health and well-being.

Check it out and see if it helps. It seems, it generally does.

Good Luck!

I am over weight never been pregnant and I havennt had a period in four months. I have been on a weight loss plan that included a cleanse which gave me a very bad UTI and Kidney problems, why am I not having periods?

I suffer from PCOS which is Poly Cystic Ovarian Syndrome. I was very embarrassed to approach my doctor but by the time i hadn’t had a period in 5 months it was time to see the GP. I was referred for internal and external ultrasounds and i have PCOS. Multiple cysts filling one or both ovaries. This causes weight gain, loss of periods and abdominal / pelvic pain mainly.

I think you really need to check this out. Untreated, the lack of periods and build up of the cells in the lining of the uterus (since they aren’t being shed with your periods monthly) increases your risk of getting cancer in your uterus. Please get it checked.

Keep in mind periods mean you are ovulating. Ovulation stops when someone is too large or too small as your body knows at these times it doesn’t want the extra stress of growing a baby in there. Most girls get their periods in early adolescence ONCE they reach a certain weight or body mass threshold which would render them able to carry and support a growing life. Perhaps increased weight in this case is making your body simply decide it wouldn’t be a good time to get pregnant. (basically)

Best of luck!
