That Weekend Detox Thing

Every once in a while, on the iVillage homepage, this weekend detox plan comes up in the left corner where the promos run. I'm kinda curious about it, but it sounds a bit odd to me to be honest. Has anyone tried it or something like it?

Hey Laurie, I have saved all those weekend healer things in word documents, and I keep meaning to revisit them.

I'm not familiar with which cleanse you're asking about but I can tell you I've done cleansings before and they are worth the time. Fat Flush is a good one. Cleansing the liver and colon at the same time are the best type of body cleansing. Also, you can jump or bounce, such as on a trampoline or jump'n jacks at least 5 minutes a day to cleanse your adrenal glands. Jorge Cruise suggeests fasting meat on Sundays to give the colon a rest, which is a part of the cleansing process.
Best wishes, Ginger

Interesting...

I'll have to look into that.

As Miranda said, the weekend thing takes time, a dedicated weekend to pretty much doing just this since you're supposed to try to relax completely, eat very little-only fresh weggies and fruits and certain teas and warm water with lemon, brush your body then take certain types of baths and go to bed early.

What you just described sounds like a vacation to me! Maybe I'll do it too. I know that you'll feel great afterwards. Many things I've read say to do a cleanse twice a year, usually Spring and Autumn.

I think I could make time for two a year. I have two HKD classes on the weekend and I need to get my butt there. I could go to the early class on Friday though on my lunch...

I bet it would be good for one's body to make time to "detox."

I haven't done the whole detox routine, but have done the skin brushing/bath thing, and let me tell you, what an amazing feeling.
