doing a colon/liver detox cleanse SURELY HELP TO LOSE WEIGHT?
honestly speaking..i missed my menstruation for one year, a woman’s period is rlly impt cos it helps to remove toxins n all,once i started my periods again,i think my hormones created havoc… and also started gaining weight like hell.
so i thought of doing a liver/colon cleanse to lose some weight and ‘recorrect’ my hormonal problems(if any)
You guys think i can lose at least 10 pounds if i do this for 5 days? just eat the detox pills,drink tea,water,organic juice through out the detox?

The notion that your colon needs cleansing is a triumph of marketing. There have been clinical studies, but none produced results backing the claims of colon cleansing products, including that your cravings are reduced.
Fecal material does not collect, impacted on the colon walls. Fecal material in the colon is not toxic and cannot poison. (Or constipated people would be found dead on the street. "Look, Jerry, there’s another one. Poor bastard didn’t eat enough fiber.")
Colon cleansing is quackery, designed to sell you a product you don’t need.
There is no legitimate reason to cleanse your colon unless you’re getting a colonoscopy. (And the various colon cleansing products marketed on TV and in magazines are not what gastroenterologists want patients to use.)
Flushing everything out of the colon is not the secret to weight loss or better health. It results in weight loss not because it’s healthy but because poop and future poop weighs something. You’ll feel better because you *believe* you’ve done something healthy, not because you *have* done something healthy.
More beneficial than a colon cleansing is consistently eating whole grains, plenty of fruit and vegetables, and drinking enough to be properly hydrated all the time. Spend your health care dollars and time on something that’s actually beneficial.
Of course you will shed some weight but not the amount you wish for .2 to 5 pounds max you should also control your eating after the detox/cleansing.As you will really feel very hungry and you should control it or else you will put on more than you lose / shed.
If you continue the liquid diet for the whole week then there is apossibility to reduce some more weight,let us say 8 to12 pounds max.Which is not recomended due to the sudden imbalance in the diet and quantity.Eat what you want but chew each morsel at least 32 times ,it is diffficult but it will give you the required result,in weight reduction and maintain it as long as you chew your food well.
Coming to your hormonal issue I don’t think it has much to do with the weight problem.
Wishing you a very Happy & Healthy reduction
Do NOT use colon cleanse products.
For one thing, NO ONE carries more than a pound of fecal waste inside them, 40 and whatnot is a joke.
Second, you have bacteria that help digest food in your colon. A colon cleanse kills those little guys and you won’t be able to digest just as good as you can with them, you need that bacteria or else you’ll be absorbing lesser amounts of nutrients and energy that your body needs to function.
You could try to start eating healthy and exercise, your body detox’s itself you know? Once you get yourself into shape, your body’s little detoxifying machine will get in shape as well and improve your health altogether.
