Zero benefit, other than possible calorie reduction while you're doing it.

Saul, has your trainer warned you about the dangers of starvation mode?

ROFL

Cleansing diets are pointless. They actually lower your metabolism and you just end up gaining the weight right back. Not to mention you are going to feel like shit throughout that period.

Eat 2 boxes of grape nuts and use prune juice as 'milk'

You will be clean in 2 days.

Did the lemon cleanse from the link. Wasn't that bad although I couldn't get used to the salt water. It's a good jump start to any crash diet. Curbed my appetite and sugar cravings. It's not a lifestyle change obviously but it's not bad for when you need to lose a little. I'm a stress eater so I'll sometimes put on 10-15 pounds.

i have a cherry tree, it doesnt do it for me, plums on the other hand! oooh boy. lol

I would get a new trainer if I was you. I would never recommend that to any client, for any reason.

You can change your body through exercise and diet manipulation, you don't need a cleanse for any reason.

I think this is the key question. I think they're good if you're switching your eating habits. Clean it out and start new. Necessary? No. They are definitely absolutely pointless if you're just going to keep eating the same thing you were before.

What's cleansing do to the body?

It makes you really hard headed, apparently.

I know a girl who did it. She lost a lot of weight she was really bitching throughout and she kinda looked unhealthy.

You shouldn't do it for a prolonged period of time. Most cleanses I know of are ten days.

He suggested a five day cleanse. It isn't some deal where you consume nothing but the drinks, though. I'm not doing it, though.

The one I did was a couple of pills in the morning, and a couple of pills in the evening. My friend did one that was a lot of ground up veggies. She still ate some solid foods, except animal protein. Hers was ten days, too. So many different ones.
