I have tried many different fasts, cleanses, diets, etc throughout my life but now cannot seem to find one. Part of my problem is that I LOVE to eat so any kind of a fast or cleanse is going to have to have some kind of actual food and not just juices. I have done juicing fasts and they were harder than natural child birth for me (really, really, really). So, I have a question for all of you-What has worked for you? What have you tried that did or did not work? Any recommendations for your friend Health Nut Wannabee Mom here????
See how desperate I look in that pic!Help! Help! Help!

So far as I can tell, there is no valid science behind the "cleanses" on the market.

Good luck on finding something that works for you!
Cheers
the problen with deprivate yourself suddenly from foods and specific liquids is that your body will react as panic defense and the next time you put food in your system is going to trap it and won't let go as if your body was in critic condition. So everything you do, do so in a balanced way day after day, a discipline (you seem to be doing a great job) of every day in your life, may your food be your medicine, and your medicine your food :)
Now when you visit my blog and you see your lovely pics on someone else's blog, you will just naturally feel so much better.
So, please, I am sitting here, watching my inbox... (0_0)

Ps, aren't you feeling better already?
Several years ago my Queen and I read a book titled, Fit For Life. It was fantastic. Chocked full of fruits and vegetables. We followed the advice religiously. We lost weight. We looked better. And we felt great. It's a simple diet. No starvation, and no gimmicks. All I can say is get the book and look it over.You decide.
By the way, I have written a short love story that I think you will like. Stop by. Let me know whaat you think. Is it a hit, or a miss?
In the meantime...
Happy trails.
Routine exercise definitely didn't work for me but balancing my food intake like eating more veggies with bigger breakfast, medium lunch and lighter dinner helped me maintain my ideal weight. I do casual walks but don't really focus on exercising. High fiber natural fruit juices also cleanses really good.
Sweat clenses the body, organic foods are like nature intended for us. If you notice, any diet states in the fine print that it should be used with a proper diet and exercise. Everyone I have seen. So, what is the common denominator? "proper diet and exercise".
Some things will never change.
I have a nice giveaway running on my blog at the moment, I hope you will spare a moment to enter, the prize is really worth it!
Hope to see you soon and have a lovely day.

Homestly, though, I think the weight loss is coming and staying because of the huge amounts of water I am drinking. Apart from the pain in my unmentionables, I've never felt better!
So, rather than the stones, I guess to be clear I am really suggesting lots of water :)

Wow such great advice from all those that left comments. I have found that the following has worked for me; 1. Eat small frequent meals through the day. I usually have about 5 meals spread evenly through the day with the last one at about 7:00 p.m.. Not eating actually sabotages your diet by training your body to use muscle as an energy source and storing the fat as an edge against famine. This cycle ruins your metabolism. Eat healthy sensible foods. Study and learn their caloric value 2. Be active. Walking is fine. Just 10-20 minutes a day will make a big difference. 3. Treat yourself occasionally. Diets that make you feel punished don't work. I love m&ms I eat them daily its just that a regular bag if m&ms will last me a week. ;o) Thanks for the visit the other day it was great to see you. ;o)
