For the past 3 weeks I have been dieting and exercising without seeing any results. I understand that change isn’t going to happen over night, but I would atleast appreciate losing a couple pounds. I am 5′ 3", 122 pounds (trying to get to 110) and I have been eating about 850-900 calories a day. I have also been doing the "Insanity Workout" 6 days a week. I do not feel like i am starving myself with the amount of food I am eating, it is all healthy, and loaded with fiber and nutrients. I also haven’t beening having BMs hardly at all. I only go 1-2 times a week and feel bloated and miserable. Even when i take colon cleansers and stool softeners…nothing happens! I don’t understand what I’m doing wrong….HELP!

Ok so just about every doc visit and even a planned parenthood visit for birth control, I was told I was obese. I’m 24 yrs old, weight 215 at 5’5”. Bmi is like 36 or something. So they gave me the whole talk about the long term affects of having extra weight. So I would like to lose weight. I’m going to buy an elliptical so I can start doing about 30-45min a day and eat healthy. But here’s where the problem comes in.
Me and hubby plan to get pregnant this January (2012) and I’d like to lose some major weight by then so I won’t risk babies life. My mother in law started this 3 day diet she got from webmd.com. She lost 15 lbs from it so far. And said that it’s working for her. I think she recently stopped but didn’t gain back the weight. She’s was like 180 something lbs before she started.
What I wanna know is, should I consider doing this, atleast so I can shave a few lbs before TTC? And to also become more ealthier. Just to lose 20 lbs would make a difference. I’m not looking for magic here. I’m being realistic. I have no health problems now, but docs make it seem like I will. I’m just mainly concerned about baby.
Thanks in advance.
And please don’t tell me to try any pills, any colon cleansers, regular eating habits etc. No spam. I just want real honest people answering. Especially if UR an obese woman like me.

Depo can stay in your system up to 18mos to help get it out this website suggested these steps

1 Drink LOTS of water: We all know there many health benefits of drinking water. Besides clear skin and weight loss, drinking at least 64 ounces per day can help rid the body of toxins and expel waste stored in the bodies tissue and prevent disease. Adding fresh squeezed lemon to water can help flush toxins out of the body because lemons are a natural diuretic.

Step 2Exercise: At least 30 minutes of cardiovascular activity a day helps increase the blood flow to the organs, muscles and tissues. Exercise helps endorphin levels rise and remove toxins from the body. Sweating also helps remove waste and toxins. Daily walks outside in the fresh air also help the detoxification process.

Step 3 Eat 6-11 (or more!) servings of fruit and vegetables a day: High in fiber to help move your bowels and loaded with anti-oxidants to help your body defend itself from any damaging toxins that enter it. Make sure you wash your produce well or chose organic if possible.

Step 4 Try Acupuncture: A form of Traditional Chinese Medicine that helps rid the body of drug toxins by balancing the body and the mind.

Step 5 Try a colon cleanse: A form of alternative medicine that removes feces and toxins from the colon and intestinal tract. Colon cleansers are composed of a combination of fiber, herbs, supplements and laxatives and can be purchased at your local health food store. Use as directed.

Step 6 Drink detox tea: A combination of herbs used to rid the body of toxins by supporting liver and kidney function. Detox teas are organic and caffeine free and can be found in your local supermarket or health food store.

Step 7Take a detox bath: Soak in a warm bath for 30 minutes with 1 cup of baking soda and 1 cup of Epsom salt. This helps the body eliminate toxins through the skin. After the bath you will feel refreshed and your skin will be soft and smooth. Rinse off with a cool shower.

Step8Relax in a sauna: Heavy metals and toxins are expelled through the the skin as we sweat. Sitting in a sauna for 10 minutes helps open the pours and detoxifies the body. Consult your health care professional before trying a sauna detox.

Step 9Take Probiotics: Also known as "good bacteria" that are necessary for digestive system health. Probiotics have been said to strengthen the immune system, allowing the body to fight off allergies, exposure to toxins and other diseases. Probiotics can be taken in supplement form, yogurt or shakes.
it’s usually people on the shot not the pill the shot causes the problems cause it leaves stuff behind and does not clear your system

i want to clean my colon. my doctor says laxatives are a short term fix. i want something that is going to last. i have doe so much research on this its ridiculous. everytime i would find something that looks like it would work, i find something else that looks safer. Natura cleanse and Leanspa with acai have been the 2 that look like they work well together. im not looking for a quick fix for weight loss. i KNOW that i am toxic and i need help figuring out which colon cleansers to use. i want to use one in combination with a diet pill also to hl curb y appetite as ive heard it helps with the cleansing process. I ONLY WANT TO HEAR FROM PEOPLE THAT HAVE HAD EXPERIENCE WITH COLON CLEANSING. i dont want someone that has never done one before but only has a strong opinion, cause i know theres alot of those here. so please help…thanks its really greatly appreciated…and sorry for the novel haha.

In the last few weeks there has been a large uptick in the number of commercials for colon cleansers and fiber supplements on all the major cable channels.
A healthy digestive system with regular movements are all part of a healthy diet.
With all the wonderful meal plans and diet pills advertised as well, how can this be?

I’m 18 years old and I am not in bad shape, but I have a fast metabolism and eat terribly. I don’t gain weight and yet I can consume 2 Big Mac’s, a Fry, Large Coke in one sitting. However, I know this type of dieting is inevitably damaging. Although there is no visual effect to my eating habits as of this far, I know in the long run this is not healthy and I want to change.

I don’t want an expensive, supplemented diet that utilizes enemas and such, but I want to know of a stable diet such as a good combination of fruits, vegetables, and juices/water on a daily basis, in what amounts of consumption, and in what variety. Thank you. I am on a budget, I just want some guidance as to what beneficial diet would fit me.

P.S Please no colon cleansers, excessive supplements, or enemas and extremities of that nature, just food and natural remedies only.

Thank you very much in advance.

I already eat practically a perfect diet, consisting of mainly fruits, veggies, nuts, beans, whole grains, and probiotics. I also exercise, however, I’m still not as thin as I’d like to be. Would purchasing a quality colon cleanser from Whole Foods do the trick? I also want to start drinking prune juice regularly. How effective are colon cleansers? What was your experience with them?

Im a 16 year old, 250+ pound kid lol. I know im overweight. Over almost a year ive been suffering from constipation off and on. When I do go, its in little medium sized plops and about 2 or 3 come out. I end up getting brain fog and headaches and not feeling well. I know its my diet because I dont go outside or anything. This last wednesday I started walking 30 minutes to an hour a day when the weather isnt bad. Its winter here. When I do take a laxative and go, I FEEL BETTER, I feel so energized!

I started taking some benefiber seeing if that will help. But I was reading about colon cleansers online, and they described like every symptom I have, when they explain different symptoms of a clogged colon or something that leads to constipation. I know its my diet, but do you think its built inside of me?

Would it be safe to buy some? Im also trying to change my diet but its hard too when we dont ever eat HEALTHY..
I just dont want to mess my self up. Is it dangerous? My friend said that he drank some of it when he got constipated and it helped him. I think it also may be a food allergy too.

Our dinners contain tv dinners or fast food. And when we do eat, its fried chicken and macoroni and cheese with maybe potatoes and corn, but I ALWAYS ignored the corn. Im just so tired of being constipated.
Well, its tacos and different stuff like that, porkchops, fried chicken, meatloaf and cheeseburgers
^^^ as what its like when my mom cooks lol.

i need to clean my colon, but i don’t want to by colon cleansers i want to do at home colon cleansing!! what kind of products are recommended because i stay constipated ALL the time and i want to loose some of that weight i’m carrying around for nothing! thanks!!

they were talking about it on the radio and my nana heard it and ordered
some for me, so i want to know who has done colon cleansers or detox things? what effects it has on you? what it causes? what kind of like stuff? like do you get sick all the time? and throw up of go to the bathroom a lot or what?

some of yoo are on crack, obviously some of yoo don’t know what colon cleansing is. they have crystals or bills the crystals drop in water and yoo drink it and it takes the waste out of your body. some people should research before they speak, kayy, and i wanted something like that anyways, yoo can seriously die if your colon is gross john wayne died due to it and his weighed 70 pounds or something.

For the last year, I have like 3-4 bowel movements per day, but they all seem unfinished, like I still feel like I have more in me, but it doesn’t come out, until I get the urge a few hours later. Yesterday I took a bunch of colon cleanse, and so far I am having a bowel movement every 5 or 6 hours, but not dhiarrea, and it still feels unfinished. I thought with colon cleansers you just have one big dhiarrea movement, but that’s not the case with me. If my system is clogged, what do I do to fix it? Do enemas work? Thank you for your time.

Just something i thought of.

Me and my mother are on a Acai Berry diet along with Colon Cleansers, and it’s working!

But something occured to me.
It may just be because i’m exercising more than her,
But i noticed that i’m loosing more weight than she is in the same time frame.
She say’s it’s because i’m young.

Can you loose more weight when you’re young? (I’m 18, she’s 47)
If so, why?

I really need a detox and internal cleanse. I’m gaining weight, tired, and I look horrible. I found colon cleansers, liver cleansers, and detoxers at the drug store but they’re so expensive and I really can’t afford them. What are homemade recipes I can make?

Does colon cleansing really work? I know it flushes/cleans the colon, but ive heard it also flushes/cleans other parts of the body as well (considering everything in your body are connected) like ive read a blog of a woman that claims that the Master Cleanse actually rid her of he eye floaters. do colon cleansers flush the eyes too? is there a certain age u should be for a colon cleanser? thanks.

I just want to detox naturally but i have read some adverse feedback against some colon cleansers.

I have a lot of weight to lose, and I need to at least LOOK thinner in a short amount of time, for a special–and obviously unplanned–event. I’ve heard that colon cleansers can help you clean 10-20lbs of useless crap from your body and make you feel loads better, and even give you a flat stomach. Is this true?

Thing is, my bowels seem to work fine. I have loose stools a lot, but I’ve just gotten over several years of binge-eating. If I use my bowels daily anyway, is there any point buying these products?

I don’t want anything with senna or a laxative-effect because they ruin your bowels. I just want something to clean out all the junk so I can feel better, look thinner, and start afresh. Any idea which products are the best (in Australia) that I can buy in capsule/pill-form in the pharmacy? Do they even work?

Thanks for any advice!

Im 16, and I want to lose weight. I know how harsh diet pills can be. I have no patience for exercise and cant stick to diets. I saw a review on the Colon Cleanse Pro, am i able to use it? Does it have harsh side effects, and what are they?
I don’t plan on wanting to lose a lot. Im not really fat. I just want to lose around 15- 20 lbs. will colon cleansers help?

I just took Henry’s Internal Cleanser, which I’ve done many times before, and I’ve gotten results. It absorbs everything negative out of your system. It tends to cause some bloating and then you have a bowel movement within two days. But this time I took it and It caused instant, severe bloating, almost as if it was putting pressure against my lungs, and I couldn’t take deep breathes. I gained five pounds within this two day period, and I have not yet gone to the bathroom. If you have any experience with this product, or any other colon cleansers, please let me know what the problem may be.

Does anyone know any good colon cleansers that actually work and are cheap?
I need somthing that wont do any damage, thin the colon lining, weaken the muscle or have me depend on it 24/7, i need all natural
Enemas are not good for your colon because it weakens the muscle because of the pressure

Does anyone know of any colon cleansers I could use or any teas and websites? THX!

What are effective colon cleansers, where can they be bought, and what are they priced for? What are your experiences with them, and did you feel significantly better/worse thereafter? What is the actual benefit? What are the downsides to it?

any good colon cleansers? i am taking fiber therapy pills everyday and still feel constipated and bloated.. i thought one good cleansing and I would be off to a better start..
