ive done lots of looking around on the internet. i read a lot of stories, and looked at results. i’m pretty sure i know that the weight loss is due to severe caloric restriction. Still, i’d like to try it just to get some pounds off and jumpstart healthier eating. I gained 20lbs over the past year due to hormones from BC. i’ve gotten rid of the hormones, and i’m excited to try to get my weight back down to where it used to be, and to start to feel healthier.

Ideas for helping my Master Cleanse:

I think i would try taking Hoodia pills to cut the hunger

I wonder if i can try using some chicken or vegetable flavoring (bouillon) to add to the Salt water wash–i think it would make it more palatable.

I want to add flaxseed to the lemonade to add some fiber, which also acts as a laxative and i think it would help clean out my colon

i think i’m only willing to try this for 7 days, instead of the 10 that most people do.

also, one more question: if i have to work in the morning, how can i get around the effects of the saltwater/laxative? i can’t run to the bathroom every few minutes when i’m at work. this is possibly the only thing keeping me from wanting to attempt it.

and FOR THE LOVE OF GOD–please don’t spam me with diet pill sites. seriously. i’ll report you.
i walk everyday and i get exercise.

I’m answering my own question here, because I believe people should read the truth rather than possibly believing the spammers on this site.

Acai berri does NOT work as a weight loss program. I have been taking it for more than a month now, while taking part in the "eat less, move more" diet, and I haven’t lost a single pound. I started on Acai berri at 10st 8 lbs, and I am still 10st 8 lbs.

Now, I will admit my skin has never looked better and I do have more energy, but it is not good for weight loss. I look and feel younger, but I am not thinner.

Prior to taking Acai berri I was doing a weight watchers diet and lost approx 14lbs in one month, but since starting Acai berri, I have not lost weight.

So, if you want to lose weight, do NOT take Acai berri. But if you just want to look and feel a little younger, THEN and only then, could I recommend Acai Berri.

(PostNote: I have also done the Colon Cleanse program, which resulted in no weight loss, so please trust me).

Sorry if I wasted your time, but I felt this had to said. Thank you
Thanks, Daisy. I didn’t know you can actually report spam. I will do that from now on. (I’m new to yahoo answers).

If you don’t think that my posting this everyday would be seen as spam, then I will do that too. Please let me know if you have the time.

I am 18 female and i have recently been thinking of doing a colon cleanse, (not to lose weight) I have very bad eating habits and I am very unhealthy, although I am in a good weight range (145 lbs at 5′ 10) I would like to eat healthier. I researched a lot of cleansers but I am a student and do not have a lot of spare cash.

If you have done the master cleanse or know a lot about it I have a few questions:
1. Am i too young to do it? Like, at my age is it harmful?
2. what are the side effects and is it painful?
3. What helped get you through the 10 days
4. When you are done you are supposed to slowly go back to eating solids, and on day 11 they say to drink orange juice, I cant stomach orange juice, is there alternatives I could use to help get me back to a normal healthy diet
5. What is the worst side effect of it? Whats the worst that could happen if i try this cleanse?

Again, I want to use this as the first step to a healthier life style. Don’t think I am using it as a quick weight loss fix as I am happy with my weight. Thanks!

ps, after the cleanse I want to stay on a healthy "diet" as in not eat unhealthy stuff, anyone know a good book/website that gives good healthy meals a 18 year old can make? (im not the greatest cook )

Okay, so you know how in the Diet&Fitness section we get all those spam answers about how to "lose weight"? Y’know, the ones that go "I lost weight doing such and such, click here to find out more!!" (by the way, acai berry does NOT burn fat, it’s just filled with antioxidants…at least, that’s what my research says…I’ve been drinking pomegranate/acai berry juice for years and have not lost a single calorie because of it..It just tastes good to me).

So anyway, I came across one that said, "I cleansed my colon and lost weight!!" (more or less.)

What I want to know is, HOW in the HELL is that related to weight loss? And anyway, isn’t it incredibly dangerous to get a colon cleansing? I heard that it results in all kinds of problems, including getting a bad case of the runs.
Lol ironic how I’m blasting the "colon spam" and yet I get one of those spam answers here. Anyway, yeah, I just never understood how POOPING had anything to do with losing body fat. Hell, if I could lose weight by taking a dump, I’d be a supermodel right now.

Just wondering, which product? did you lose weight? did you keep it off? side effects? would you suggest using it? Thanks for the help.

age? weight? weight loss from it? I would really love to know if it actually works.

I am starting a diet this week, and I am just wondering if it could be a good idea to start off with a good colon cleanse. I have never tried this before, but I’ve heard a lot about it lately…I had a very sudden weight gain…about 50 pounds in the past 4 years or so, and all I eat is fast food, and pop, and processed food…seriously!!! I’m changing!!

right i went to see my doctor about a year ago which told me i was a stone over weight he said its nothing majour but it would be nice to loose a little preferably a stone, i have tried everything the rosemary Conley diet with size portions ect, tried the fat diet ,tried exercising everyday you name it iv done and in the proses i only managed to loose 8 pounds ! so i went back to my doctor which said i wasnt doing enough exercise ! although i have i completely changed my life style with the outdoors, so he told me he couldnt rescribe me nothing cause i wasnt obese (which i totaly dissagree with) so i looked up on the internet acai berries and colon cleansing, the berries are all natural ingrediants and the colon cleansing takes all the bad toxic waste. now everywhere i look im being told its good for weight loss even the chemist people say as its just like the alli which cost about £40, now my question is to you does this work and have you had and succsesfull weight-loss with this or another ?

I am looking to shed around 40 pounds of fat, and I have heard so much about so many different supplements out there. I go to the gym 4 times a week, and eat healthy but I have been at the same weight and "size" for over 3 months. I was hoping someone who has used supplements, who actually got results, could give me some suggestions. I was looking at FORCE FACTOR, and ACAI Colon Cleanse…any input on these? Please help me find the best on the market. Thank you!

I have a history of yo-yo weight loss, last time I did really well, hit the gym and paid thousands to lose 40 pounds. I’ve gained about 15 pounds back and I’m feeling depressed. I’ve heard hydro colon therapy will cleanse excess sludge and prompt you to lose weight by improving your digestion. Does it work? Does it hurt? Is it expensive? What might be a good place to try it in Northern California?
Answers from someone who’s actually done it will help A LOT. 10 points for best answer…?
This question is about colonics, not other good ways to lose weight. I know how to lose weight I just want to know specifics on colonics.

I was thinking about using colon cleaning as a weight loss method…what do you think?

I am 5′4. 14. Male. I will be 15 in the summer.
I would like to lose fat, around my stomach, arms, legs, and face.
So I weigh around 55-56kgs.
I REALLY wanna lose weight by summer, but I would like to lose around 15-20 pounds in the next month, or 2.
Can you please tell me what foods to eat? I know it sounds stupid but it’s so much easier for me when someone gives me instructions, like what time, and what to eat. And what are the best exersises, please be specific, and when should I do these, how many should I do, how many times a day?
And do Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse pills work?

I know there are many different brands, so please include that name of the one you tried.

What did they really do for you?
Did you just go to the bathroom a lot? If so, was it so much that it was a problem in daily life?
Did you have stomach cramps?
Did it cause diarrhea or nausea?
Did you really pass anything weird like in some of the photos they have at the sites?
Did you feel better? If so, was it within a few days or immediately?
How long did you take it?
How did you feel when you stopped taking it?
Did you change your diet with it and if so, was it a diet plan?
Do you have any health problems like I.B.S. or spastic colon or chronic bloating or chronic constipation and how did it affect you?

Please include everything you can think of. I’m not really interested in these for weight loss, though that would be a benefit, but to see if any of them improve how I feel overall.

Thanks to everyone that replies with a good, honest, helpful answer.

Hi, I’ve made a new years resolution to lose weight and have heard that colon cleansers can help in losing weight. Does anybody know whether this is true, and if so, what is a good colon cleanser you can maybe recommend me to try? It seems there are so many different ones out there and I don’t want to waste my time and money with anything that doesn’t work.

Hi my name is Maddy. I started out wanting to lose 30 lbs and go from 145 to 115. Well Now I am 118 and found out I am slightly taller than I thought. I’m 4′ 11 3/4". For my height I’m suppose to weigh 97-128 lbs. Well I want to lose 8 lbs and get down 110 lbs and see what I look like. I now wear a size 1 but still need to tone my abs cause they aren’t as toned as they could be after losing that much weight. I have no equipment but two 3lbs dumbells. Any advice on workouts to tone the muscles. I don’t want peopletelling me to use colon cleanse and acai berry. Here are my weight loss pics from 125 to where I am now http://viewmorepics.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewPicture&friendID=260122060&albumId=1579506
Taylor I asked people not to mention stuff like that…I have health issues and can not take them

could it help weight loss?

Why don’t you get it? I am shooing you too Colon Cleanse spammer.
I’m 5′2, 130 lbs, and quite chubby. Suggestions to help me lose weight? Please? Thanks.

(Go away Acai Berry, Colon, Cleanse, and any other advertising spammers.)

My doctor suspects I have one of these two diseases, and I have a colonoscopy next Tuesday. Here are my symptoms:

bleeding from rectum
mild to moderate eye inflammation (it is true, I went to the eye doctor)
bright red stool
dark, almost black stool
green stool
a combination of all those colors in my stool
mucus in my stool
diarreha once to four times a day
pain when passing stool
lower right abdominal pain
whole abdominal pain
cramping in my stomach
moderate to severe middle to upper back and neck pain
weight loss
fatigue
constipation (at times)

Please don’t call me a liar, I posted a question before and got such negative answers I deleted it. All of these symptoms have been going on for the past couple months, so I obvisiously don’t have constipation and diarreha at the same time. Everyone thought I was lying on my last question because they thought I was saying I was having all those symptoms at the same time. Oh and I don’t have a parasite or a bacterial infection, I had tests to outrule those. I also don’t think I have colon cancer. It was a concern at first because my grandma died of colon cancer and so did three of her sisters, 2 of whom died at age 16 and early twenties. I am 18 years old and female. My blood work came back fine though, so I’m pretty sure I don’t have colon cancer.

Oh and I had a cat scan, but all they could determine was that I had diverticulosis, (not to be confused with diverticulitis, which means the holes are inflammed, mine are not) and so that could not be a reason for all my symptoms.

Last thing is are bad are colonoscopies? I have one next Tuesday and I’m quite nervous. I heard they are not painful, but I’m not sure If I beleive that. I also heard the beforehand of cleansing is really bad too. How bad? Will it hurt?

Okay that’s it. Sorry my question is kind of long. I didn’t get to ask my doctor the difference between the two diseases so I’m just wondering which one I most likely have.

i’ve heard the colon cleanins helps to loose weight and i would like to kno how true it is, if theres any one who has tried it can you tell me how much weight you lost?how long did it take untill you saw results? also what colon cleanser did you use? i perfer something over the counter and not online …something safe and effective , thanx -)….because im trying very hard to loose weight and im thinking about trying it but want informatio o it from someone who has tried it =)

Uhhh, ill pass on your Sh!tty colon cleanse. I would lose weight then gain it all back.
Ok, so please dont make fun of me lol.
Excuse my spelling too, im dislexik. (spelled that wrong, lol)
Anyways, im 13 (almost 14) and am 210 pounds…
I want to lose weight (the healthy way)
So, my mom told me that if i go at it REALLY hard that i will just burn muscle away and get weaker.
IS this true?
And the doctor told me part of my problem is i dont eat ENOUGH.
Says it slows my metabolism.
ANYWAYS!
a few questions-
What speed is best on the tredmill
How long should i be running on the tredmill per session
How many tredmill sessions should i have per day
what other workouts should i put in?
Im sort of limited with school and all.
And, if you can, or have the time,
it would be greatly appreciated for a whole workout schedule of when the best time to do it is and all that.
Thanks, Feel free to add other information that i didnt ask for, i just jogged for an hour, my mind is a bit blurred right now.
I will also, pass on your "loose weight quick" weight loss plans. Thanks for your input, though.

And what does it do exactly?
does it work as a weight loss product?

I would like to lose at least 30-40 pounds by next year (January – August).

My dad and I are talking about getting me Acai Berry and Colon Cleanse pills; from what I’ve read, it’s what helps some people lose weight?

Anyways, what are some at home exercises I can do to lose weight?
I would like to keep it simple (Im an asthmatic…) and I want to lose the weight fast…

Please help,
&ThankYou (:

I read a lot about the importance of cleansing the colon. How it can help weight loss, better living, etc. etc.
My question is, in taking a colon cleansing supplement, what will happen? When I go to the bathroom, will it hurt? Is it like diarrhea?
When should I take it/how many?

what is the best exercise to increase results, also what are the best types of foods to eat while on the pills. I’m using, acai berry and colan cleanse, they are working a little bit like a pound or 2. but what can i do to increase the weight loss?

if you have a link that would be great.

I see a weight loss/cosmetic dr every tuesday.
After mentioning my irregular bowl movement he recommended
a 15 day colon cleansing pill..He said it was all natural & couldn’t hurt.
Anyone know the facts?
Is it really good for helping remove toxins…
& what should i expect to…well come out?

Does anyone know how much weight you can lose by not eating or eating very little for 1-2 weeks? And would it be okay to take laxatives at the same time, or one of those colon cleanse products? It is important that I lose this weight fast. Honest answers only, no smart-ass remarks. Thanks!

I am just curious of others opinions.
I had laparscopy surgery several years ago, before I had the surgery, I was told to drink this HORRIBLE stuff called Colyte. It completey cleans you out, I mean completley to prep you for surgery. Well, during the surgery, they removed 2 small fibroids, and a small cyst.
To my surprise, I lost about 22 pounds during the next few weeks.
I am curious of others opinions of what caused the wight loss……was it the colon cleansing, or the fibroid removal, or the two together. I am getting ready to have another dose of Colyte for another surgery…….here we go again.
Any opinions are appreciated…please no sarcastic or rude comments.

Thank you
