Cleanse?

[Emilee68 46]

I'm a little over a year post op from the sleeve and I've been at a stall for about 4-5 months. I've fell off the wagon here recently, I've had a lot of stress with work and school....I know its not an excuse....LOL. Anyways I feel very bogged down and bloated and well...not good. Has anyone tried a cleanse to kinda detox? If so what are some good ones to do? Any info is greatly appreciated!

I like to juice, I feel better and feel like I am healing my body.

I'm also considering a cleanse. A carb cleanse. I've let too many carbs slip in over the last few weeks. And am craving them horribly bad. But I do not know where to start. I think I read where some people are going back and doing the post op food phases starting at Clear Liquids. I'm not sure if this is what I want to do though.

For those discussing a carb cleanse, the carb cleansing/back on track plan I've seen discussed on another vsg board works like this. For three days, you eat nothing but meat, green veggies, and high quality fats (olive oil, coconut oil, grassfed butter -- stuff like that). No grains, no dairy, no Beans, no fruit, no starchy veggies. Don't count calories for these three days -- just focus on eating only those foods.

After three days, commit to an eating plan and to logging everything you eat. At a year out, most people do something like:

--maximum 900 calories

--maximum 60 carbs

--minimum 80 grams Protein

Log everything on myfitnesspal or a similar site/app.

Thank you for the info! Does the meat, green veggies, and oils help to detox?

@@Emilee68 it helps cut cravings for carbs. I don't believe in "cleansing" toxins from your body by eating special foods, I think our liver and kidneys are designed to take care of that function, so I'm probably not the right person to answer that particular question
