Yeah the chews are pretty yummy. At Christmas time they had a chocolate mint that was addictive. They just came out with a strawberry cheesecake flavor for summer. I haven't tried it yet but it sounds yummy. In September they will come out with another new flavor.

So i have been reading this all morning, i'm only on page 13 so bare with me if what i say has already been said.

I'm almost a personal trainer ( just havent taken the test) and everthing that everyone is doing in conjunction with this stuff is the ticket to weight loss, except the ppoop. lol

when you increase your water intake you will notice weight loss because your body stops retaining water because now your body know's its getting it on a regular basis. for the first bit for anyone that decides to start drinking water all day long and leave out pop, cofee, booze etc, will notice weight loss, which is simply the release of retained water. Also, when you eat lots of small meals throughout the day, you speed up your metabolizm, and also your body again will start to release its fat that it has been storing because now it knows its getting fed on a regular basis, instead of starved. When you eat only one or two meals a day, your body goes into starvation mode and stores food as fat. Haven't you ever head people talk about how much food they can eat and they are skinny, and the fat people think less food is the ticket to loosing weight? the fat people should realy look into what the skinny people are doing. lol don't get me wrong, I'm interested in this, or else i'd be done all the pages by now instead of reading in detail. lol, but i do think that drinking the amount of water and eating clean is the ticket to the weight loss part, not so much the detox stuff put into the drink. as far as the detox, I think your skin would realy tell you that.

Just give it a try and see what you think. You'll feel more energy and you don't have to change your eating except to cut out sugar as much as possible and alcohol. We all store toxins and it's best to get rid of them on a regular basis. You definitely will notice it in your skin and general health. Immune system, etc. Losing weight is just a side benefit.

I would like to try this, i think its very good to detox, I just know that energy, and even skin for that matter, would all improve with regular eating and eating healthy foods. i would hope people doing these detox would continue eating healthy even when they are done it.

As for sandigirl being very tired, this is often a result of low iron, or our body needing more vitamins. When i get realy tired on a regular basis, is usualy when i forgot to take my vitamins for a while and have had poor eating habits.

just guessing here, as ive never done a detox, I would venture to bet your tummy would go down. Even guys with supposid beer bellys. (which is actualy a red meat belly)

Anyway, i thought id share with you all a morning breakfast shake you can make that gives you sooooo much engery. It ends up brown too. lol 2 great big handfuls of leafy greens, into the blender, half avacodo, some frozen berry's ,baby coconut water (fresh from inside the coconut), and some pure juice like mango. i need to sweeten it some as i found it slightly bitter withougt so you can put in aquav necter, I used splenda as thats all i had. blend it all up, it should be fairly thick. drink away. all of it to yourself! makes about 2 16 oz glasses.

and then a soup that is actualy realy tasty. its a cold soup. puree fresh tomatoes and avacado together or even just put it through a food proccessor and leave it chunky. spice it up with pepper.

oh and i stopped at page 16, lol, so could someone fast forward me to everyones results? lol

You'll feel more energy and you don't have to change your eating except to cut out sugar as much as possible and alcohol.

if you already do this, will you still notice a big difference?

[Kathe]

LOL - just keep on reading, some good stuff on here! Good luck! And thanks for the recipes. The tomato soup sounds yummy.

I guess it would depend on how toxic you are. I'm gonna do another one because I slept better on it...or maybe the poop cramps just woke me up before my alarm.

hehe I think it was the cramps....

I'm not doing my second week, because I have to go on an antibiotic....so I'm just going to do it next month. I felt better with my second round that i did with my first. BUT I ate like crap on it so it was kind of a waste in that department. I promise I'll be better next time

[Kathe]

Meagan you keep saying that!!!!

[JustTans23]

HAHA I know. Then crazy stuff happens and I mess up. I'm going to start eating NOW like I'm on the detox though so then by next month I'll already be in the habit. It's my stupid boyfriend, blame it on him.

[Alan @ TanToday]

How is this thread the most viewed topic on TanToday in the past year?

Kudos Kathe, you are milking every second of your advertising dollar here. Good for you.

[Kathe]

Because it's about POOP - the number one topic on everyone's mind these days!! LOL

Well we're going to eat good when I come visit you!! Boyfriend or not!

I'm on day 1.5 of the detox and I'm sorry the bathroom isn't closer to my office.

[JustTans23]

Ha, it only gets better from here!

[Kathe]

Mike I am so proud of you! Finally!!!! Make sure you are taking your vitamins along with.

[InternationalTan]

I struggled through the detox the first time, I hated it. It even made me vomit for two days. I decided to do it again, this time drank ALOT more water with it and loved the results. I am itching to do it again, probably in 2 more weeks!

[Kathe]

Sometimes the first time or two can be pretty rough. Glad you made it through.

[EliteMike]

So what can I eat while doing this. I know it was mentioned somewhere, just can't find it.

By it gets better, I'm hoping you mean less pooping.
