Why do you detox?

We need your help!

We're interested in writing an article about *why* people detox, and *how*

People try detoxification programs for different reasons, some of which are health-related, religious, to gain more energy, lose weight, welcome a new season, start fresh after a traumatic event (breakup, accident, etc) or start fresh before an exciting new life chapter (marriage, children, new job, etc).

Please share your reasons for why and how you detox with us here.

Thanks!

i detox twice a year to give my body a break from food.  it's something i've done for years, and i always feel refreshed and revived afterwards.  in fact, i'll be getting ready for a detox/fast in about three weeks.

I have just been searching sites about detoxing the body. There are many products and I diet plans to detox the body. I am doing this to loose weight and to start a healthy diet plan. I did just quit smoking two months ago, but I replaced the cigts. with bad eating habits.  I have gained ten pounds in the two months.   But, any ways, you said you detox yearly and I'd like to know what information you know of detoxing and your approach to detoxing.

my mother used to make us pure fruit or vegetable juice w/natural detoxing stuff in it (i'm sorry, i don't know what she used, just that it was all organic and natural).  i use a product from beachbody.com if you want to check it out.

Would that be the two day fast product? I thank you for responding. I saw some information also on three day fruit juices for detoxing.  There is a lot of information out there on detoxing. It just takes time to do the research. Again, thanks for your input.

Wondering how the detox mission has been for you? Have you tried it? I've been researching detox methods recently and am curious on other's success.

I did try the beachbody.com two day fast formula.  It was not bad and I did see a difference in the scale. I made it through two days of pure all natural juice for two days. I lost weight on both but resumed bad eating habits and gained everything back.


 


Please let me know if you find anything of interest, later.
