weight loss/ weight gain

**tjennys4** · August 25th, 2008, 09:39 AM

Why is it that it can take a long time to lose weight, but so little time to gain it back? My weight fluctuates sooooo extremely much throughout the day. But to lose weight takes a long time....then if I eat a little more one day than I did the day before (not even junk food, but good healthy food) the weight seems to jump right back on?

Okay....I have a question that I am not sure if it is appropriate to ask here or not (I am sort of shy about body functions! LOL)....have any of you done a colon cleanse? What is good to use? There are so many different types all claiming the other ones are terrible and they are the only "good" cleanse. I know there are all different types but is it even necessary todo? One cleanse infomercial was saying how absolutely amazing you feel after you have done their program, but...of course they are going to say that!

Thanks for any answers!

I wouldnt believe all that stuff, you really should be expelling all that waste as long as your eating healthy and having regular bowel movements. It seems all like money making to me. The only way I would ever trust it is if i went to the doctors who do the cleanses with water and I would have to do it! Eat a lot of salad and fiber, it really will do the same thing. I dont believe all that stuff, it seems stupid after all since we only hear about it for weight loss but not for skinny people.

Hey jenny, welcome to the boards. I think doing colon cleansing is a great thing to do for your body. I have done it, not to lose weight, but to make sure I'm keeping my body healthy. I have a friend who is a doctor, and she recommended it to me. She does it for her and her family. She only believes in using holistic medicines and is into keeping the body clean and free of toxins. I ordered mine from NIKKEN. All their products are holistic. But I do know that there are many people on the boards who have tried otc stuff. Just go to the My Experience With Phentermine board and search for colon cleanse.

I hope this helps, and I would def. recommend having your colon cleansed. Sometimes things get stuck to the walls, and never come out. That is what the cleanse is for....to rid you of that junk that's been sitting there and making you sick. Good Luck!
