   Colon cleanse diets are controversial. I’m sure I’ve felt much better after apple fasts (apples only, with a drink of apple juice, protein powder and liquid bentonite from the health food store, and psyllium husks from the health food store.). Look around on line and don’t put your faith in expensive products.

   If you want to reduce your breast size, reducing your body fat composition to a healthy level will help, but only if you are over-fat to begin with.

   Big weight losses in a few days or weeks are water losses and don’t count for anything unless you are a wrestler or something.

   this is a scam. your colon doesn,t need flushing, as it normally does this all your life. it will not reduce weight, or remove toxins. calorie reduction is how you lose weight.

   Cleansing your intestinal tract is not going to hurt you. However, it is not really going to take the fat off your body. You need to improve your diet so that you are always cleaning-out your guts naturally, without colon cleansers, and increasing your exercise so that you actually burn fat and build muscle mass.You are not very overweight, but you can discover that yourself.

   Check a BMI calculator to determine how much weight you need to lose to be "normal."

   You should find exercise that fits into your daily routine, like walking to school, bicycling to the grocery store, and hiking through a local park. Try to perform these moderate exercise activities for at least an hour every day. Eat more fruits and vegetables, since these are both filling and filled with the nutrients that your body needs.

   Let me give you a summary of my meals in a typical day:

   Breakfast: A high-fiber cup of oatmeal, brown sugar, cinnamon, and vanilla. A pint of coffee or green tea.

   Alternatively, a high-protein scrambled egg with an Anaheim or Pasadilla pepper, a handful of mushrooms, and half-cup of cheese, with a topping of Greek or Italian spices. Two bananas.

   Lunch: Snacking and a meal at work is one orange and two apples; ten-grain, flax-meal, psillium home-made crackers with a half-cup of spreadable soft feta; a half-cup of cinnamon-sugar almonds; a pint of coffee; a quart of water.

   Alternatively, a soup of clam chowder with a half-cup of added mixed seafood such as clams and octopus or split pea soup; dried figs and apricots to satisfy hunger between meals; a half-cup of cayenne-coated sunflower seeds; a quart of water.

   Dinner: A half-head of lettuce with thousand island or blue cheese dressing. Two bananas with a glass of milk. Two cups of herbal tea.

   Alternatively, a high-fiber, multi-grain and flax meal pasta with red sauce, adding mushrooms, peppers, bok choi, and a few black olives. Another meal is stir-fry vegetables in a ginger terriyaki or vegetable spring rolls with duck sauce. A cup of brown rice or wild rice, not a true rice, as a high-fiber side dish is very filling with green tea or herbal tea.

   My daily exercise routine is 16 miles of biking, unless the weather is nasty. If the weather is bad, I run 4 miles a day with a backpack. On my days off work, I usually hike about 5 miles in winter due to snow on my paths and 10 miles in summer. Try to do at least an hour of moderate exercise per day, which can be a commute to pick-up groceries, get to work or school, or a hike in a park or neighborhood.

   Check a BMI calculator to set your weight goal. Your BMI should be between 19 and 25.

   Eat strawberries, bananas, oatmeal, apples, psyllium husk powder, and flax meal. Buy a juicer and pulp apples and other fruits. Make vegetarian stir fry and serve over rice. All of these are safe and effective purifiers.

   You do not need to limit yourself to only chicken and tuna. I found a really good turkey bacon by "Eating Right." Tofu is a fantastic addition to spaghetti or pasta salads or anywhere you use cheese. I fry my tofu in olive oil before adding it to other dishes. Also, nuts are good food.
