1. Check with Your Doctor
Always check with your physician before you begin any diet, especially a cleanse diet. If you are diabetic or have other issues with your heath, cleanse diets could make them worse. If you have colon diseases or other digestive problems, be wary of these cleanses because they might aggravate your condition. Use common sense and guidance from your family physician to decide if the diet is the right one for you.
2. Master Cleansing
One popular cleanse is the Master Cleanse diet. One this diet, you drink a mixture of lemon juice with maple syrup, cayenne pepper and water during the day. The lemon juice and pepper help burn the fat. The maple syrup adds to the flavor, but also provides for needed calories so you can function. You then use a laxative tea in the evening to help move waste through your system, since there's no fiber in the diet. In the mornings, you drink sea salt water to flush the system.
3. Regain the Weight
Almost all cleanse diets flush the system of toxins, but also flush the system of fluids. The vast majority of the weight loss on a cleanse diet is from loss of fluids. Once you complete the diet, you can expect to regain at least half of the weight that you lost. Many cleanse diets involve fasting, which lowers the basal metabolism rate (BMR). This means that you don't burn fat as quickly. Ironic, isn't it? If you do any cleanse diet, keep it monitored, do it to change eating habits and don't expect weight loss to last.
4. Better than Scrubbing Bubbles
Most cleanse diets or detox diets work to remove the toxins in the body. The colon accumulates coating after years of food abuse, and the goal is to loosen and remove that lining buildup and toxins in your other cells. Once your colon is clean, your body can absorb more nutrients through the lining. Detoxing the body also helps to remove carbohydrate and sugar cravings. The continuous assault on our body by the introduction of sugar creates a vicious cycle that makes your body request more and more. When you interrupt the circle with a cleanse, reduce the craving.
5. Smells, Jells and Facial Weals
All sorts of physical anomalies with a huge yuck factor occur after the start of cleansing diets. Your body frequently goes through ketosis, which is a change in the body that occurs when it burns its own fat. Some smells you never expected begin to come from your mouth and other parts. Your tongue frequently coats as the body breaks down cells and not food. Many diets tell you to watch for clear mucous, known as jell plugs, in your stool. This is the signal that the colon is completely cleansed. Cleanse diets can bring on pimples and canker sores. Proponents of the cleanse believe that these eruptions are toxins leaving the body, while their counterparts believe that they are the result of stress from the diet.
