Hey everyone!

So, I’m currently gearing up for a massive body reset—I'm planning on doing a seven-day fast. It’ll be strictly water, some juices, and herbal supplements to help flush out toxins from my gut and give my kidneys a much-needed deep clean. Has anyone here actually gone through this before? What was the experience like for you?
Thanks!

Oh, wow....FANTASTIC...just tell me one thing, what on earth is "toxins" supposed to mean in this context? I mean, seeing as you're clearly a master of nutrition, I'm dying to learn all these fancy new terms... Because as far as I knew, we were all gearing up to watch Gordan Kozulj swim... I had no idea he was suddenly coaching your intestinal tract...

It’s not Kozulj, it’s Duje Draganja!

Intestinal inflammation?

Man, that sounds intense—like, you'd actually rather hit up a doctor for that instead of just sticking to a seven-day fast? 😲 Maybe there's a surgical fix out there... 😱

😁

edit: Edward Sanchez72, don't go disrespecting a decent athlete like Gordan Kozulj. For a few bucks to head over to Las Vegas, Draganja almost went swimming, but those guys ended up tossing him aside like a used napkin (honestly, they deserved to)...

Is this colitis or just some random inflammation? Honestly, you should probably just go see a doctor instead of guessing... 🙄
And look, if you just had a little slip-up, maybe a quick enema would be way more effective than spending an entire week obsessively chugging herbal teas and water. I mean, sure, doing it for one day is fine, but seven days straight? That’s just not realistic. People who actually have lives—you know, working jobs, studying, or being out in the world—simply can't afford to spend all their time like that. It's just not doable when you're trying to function normally!

Kimberly Brooks29 said:Hey everyone!

I'm getting ready for a major body detox—a seven-day fast consisting only of water, juices, and herbal supplements to clear out my digestive tract and flush my kidneys. I was wondering if anyone here has tried this before? What were your experiences like?
Thanks!

A friend of mine just finished something similar. She claimed she was doing it for a "spring cleanse," but secretly she was hoping to lose weight. She did drop about 4 pounds, but she wasn't satisfied because she wanted to lose more, and she has no idea how to maintain the results. On day four, when I saw her, she looked great—really lean and refreshed, though she had dark circles under her eyes. By day six, she looked terrible. Her face looked puffy, and none of her clothes fit right. Since she's over 30, rapid weight loss and starving yourself like that can be really destructive to your system. She couldn't concentrate on anything and was in a genuinely bad mood. That's because when you're doing this, you have to minimize housework and stay indoors, otherwise, you'll just faint. She insists she didn't feel weak once, though. By day seven, when she could finally eat again, she was incredibly cranky and argumentative. She acted like a hero for enduring it, implying the rest of us are just ordinary people who can't go a single minute without food—basically calling us ignorant for not performing these "barbaric" spring cleanses. She was constantly condescending and frustrated, likely just because she was starving. I'm not sure if she actually "cleansed" anything. She’s still full of negative energy, which has always been an issue for her, and now it's even worse because she doesn't look the way she wants to after all that struggle.

I think the concept is fine, but the duration is too long. A quick one-day cleanse every so often is okay, but fasting for seven days seems excessive to me. Plus, if you have to stop all physical activity just to pull it off, it isn't practical.

Look, I’m not talking about some crazy detox diet to drop weight, or anything related to fighting off an illness or inflammation. I’m strictly talking about clearing out the waste sitting in your gut... you know, that buildup that just accumulates throughout your entire life. We all have it in us, and honestly, it doesn't mean you're sick, nor does it mean people who don't bother with this aren't "normal." It's just that after doing a ton of reading on the subject—and since I already know it’s actually possible—I just want to get it out of my system.
Here’s a link so you can see exactly what I'm getting at.
And before anyone starts judging, this didn't come from some fringe group of conspiracy theorists.

My bad, I totally misspoke there... I meant the elimination of intestinal waste, not diarrhea. My mistake!

Look, if you ask me? Just stick a hose up there with some warm water and you'll be passing out whatever Snickers you inhaled back in the summer of '92.
I'm telling you, if you keep posting stuff like this for three days straight, you won't even have the energy to stumble to the kitchen to make a cup of tea, let alone anything else.
Honestly, Susan from Hawaii should just take those photos and dump them on a dating site—she is seriously hot.

It doesn’t say anywhere that you’re limited to just plain water. You can also go on fruit and veggie juices, along with all those different vitamin and mineral supplements to make up for what you aren't getting from actual food during those seven days.

Honestly, I’m sorry, but that was just revolting—I truly have no idea why anyone would even think it’s a good idea to post something like that online. 😲
And yeah, personally, if I don't eat enough, my digestive system basically just goes on strike because there's nothing for it to process. So, how does something like *that* even happen???

A single day would be plenty for that, but trying to go a whole week? That's just overkill, regardless of how many nutrients you're trying to cram into your system.
A klistir is the real game changer for stuff like this👍! I actually dropped 4 pounds in just 3 days while I was in the hospital because of a klistir😁

Ugh, I feel the exact same way... honestly, it’s just bizarre seeing people post their own photos right next to that. I mean, what you're seeing in those pictures wouldn't even start making an appearance until you haven't eaten for a few days. And obviously, just fasting isn't enough on its own... you really need to be using a toxin absorber and something like Chomper to actually pull all that junk out and flush it from your system.

. Honestly, if you really want results, a klistir is the way to go 👍! I actually dropped 4 pounds in just three days while I was stuck in the hospital because of a klistir 😁.

And yeah, that includes using a klistir twice a day.

Seriously though, if you pass out from some gut issues and end up cracking your head on the toilet, is there anyone actually gonna call 911 for you?

So, the question was basically: "Has anyone actually dealt with this before?"

😲 Twice a day??!!

Look, you really need to sit down, take a good look at yourself, and think about what you're actually doing here. Tone it down.😉
What you’re planning to do is basically intestinal suicide. You are going to wipe out your entire gut flora, which is absolutely critical for healthy digestion. If you're dealing with actual issues, one klistir a year is plenty—but doing this twice a day for seven days, which is 14 times in a single week? You're asking for serious health problems if you go through with this.👎

p.s. Are you trolling or what?😕

I don't mean to be difficult, but for heaven's sake...

Look, it's not like this idea just popped into my head out of nowhere. I know people who have done this and swear they felt amazing afterward. I just wanted to hear more from people who've actually been through it.

Thank God there isn't, because everyone who actually tried it is currently stuck in some hospital ward somewhere.😎
