Have you ever detoxed, how did you do it and do you think it works?

My wife and I detoxed before our wedding. We used a kit we purchased from our chiropractor. It worked, we certainly detoxed and lost 5-10 pounds each.

No, I haven't tried detoxing, and I don't think it's something I would do. I try to eat a balanced diet. That's good enough for me.

I am on the 5/2 diet and this virtually de toxes every week -2 days per week you only eat 500 calories, which is very little.
I am on it not to lose weight but to get blood pressure down and other health related things which are all working.

So I think this is a great way to detox as well as getting healthier.
I DO however not like the two days!

No. The body has its own methods for getting rid of toxins that work fine. Brian Dunning covered the subject well in an episode of his Skeptoid podcast (transcript in the link below).

I have, and will continue to do so because I feel much better when I do. I know that the body has ways of self correcting but I just feel lighter in body, mind and spirit when I consciously take time off to focus consciously on what I am putting into my body.

oops. Not sure why that posted twice.

Yes, still on a detox and my first. However I think that the body is an amazing healer itself and did not want to take additional suppliments. Instead I have avoided some foods and this has given me more energy and I feel healthier.
