   No, it just cleanses your colon. The only true way to lose weight is to eat right and exercise. There’s no magic meal, or pill, or drink that makes it go away (at least none that isn’t temporary or very bad for you). You need to put in the time and effort, and most of all be patient because it takes some time.

   Considering your accident, I would recommend swimming, it’s much easier on your joints but still works out your muscles and provides great cardio.

   Well everyone should cleanse there body bi yearlish.. however it shouldnt be used for weight loss purposes… its going to make you poop a lot. Thats the weight you will lose.

   Here are some dieting tips

   Eat breakfast an hour within waking up
   5-6 meals away
   Execute portion control of meals
   Eat as much raw foods as possible
   Limit caffeine to one serving a day
   CUT ALL SODAS OUT
   8 glasses of water at least a day
   take a multivitamin
   No carbs after 2-3pm
   Make sure your eating enough calories
   Lots of lean proteins like white meat and fish
   Make meals in advance…your more likely to eat healthy if its already made
   Drink a glass of water before you eat a snack.. you will be less hungry and eat less
   Pre mix up snacks
   Eat a salad/healthy app. before a meal. Studies show people who do consume 30% less food
   Keep a log of what you eat
   Try to regulate a normal sleeping pattern

   3-4 days of cardio… mix it up and do 1 or 2 of high intensity cardio
   2-3 days of lifting toning
   Always stretch stretch stretch and do a warm up and cool down

   colon cleanse can work for people that have had unhealthy diet for a long time and are quite older than, lets say, teenagers.
   if the problem of your increased weight is the mucosa plaque in your bowels, then yes. if it prevents the nutrients absorption, that your body is nutritiously starving even if you eat excessive amounts of food with plenty of calories, colon cleanse may work. but i doubt it would be fast, if the major fat is in your adipose tissue instead of waste products stored in your bowels.

   A colon cleanse loads your system up with mostly fiber and maybe some other nutrients, just watch for ones that have sugar in them. Too much sugar is what makes your bowels that sickly green color. It simply catches all the fecal matter in your intestines that didnt make it out all those other times sitting on the ‘throne’. So in a sense, yes. You can lose a small amount of weight by doing a cleanse, it wont be significant. You should notice some bloating go down in the abdominal region though. You can repeat this process as often as every three months!

   Take care and good luck!

   No. Your colon is actually a self-cleaning organ and does not need to be "detoxified" or cleaned. These are just scams designed to get your money by promising a "quick fix" for weight loss. Sorry, no such thing!
