hno:
I'm 6 foot 6 and got up to 277 pounds. Decided 3 months ago to start eating healthier, no junk food, no soda, no fast food, no candy, cakes or pies, just normal "healthier" food at much smaller portions. I also started eating a lot more fruit. Also started taking fish oil and CLA before meals, plus other assorted vitamins. Started going back to the gym 5 days a week for 40 minutes of cardio a day. After the gym I hit the pool for around 30 minutes of swimming. After my workout I drink a Whey Protein shake.
Now 3 months later I weigh 227, loss of 50 pounds.
Thought I would miss the junk food, but I don't. Thought I would really miss soda, but I don't. I drink a lot more water these days. Don't plan on going back to the way I ate before.

I'm weak-willed around food. I need a jump start and I have a first hand account (this thread) that it worked for someone. I think the fact that it cost $400 would be enough to make me stick to it because I'm a goddamn tightwad and I think the thought of wasting $400 would be stronger than the Snickers bar that stares at me everyday from the vending machine.
good luck guys, your health is the most valuable thing you have and it is under your control
I did a three-day juice cleanse from a groupon deal about a year ago and have been hooked on "juicing" ever since
I still eat junk from time to time, but I make veggie/fruit juice every day now and I feel a lot better
with that said, I feel like eating healthy makes the bad food hit you harder.....now if i eat a big fried or fast food meal mid-day I feel so sluggish and tired I almost always have to take a nap (luckily i work from home)
anyways, best of luck with the health kick...some good documentaries on netflix related to nutrition that really helped me mentally want to make some of the lifestyle changes (i.e., after understanding the science of it)

I'm done tomorrow.
It "worked" because you eat nothing but healthy food and shakes for 3 weeks and for some people that is going to cause a lot of immediate weight loss and make them feel better. But as far as cleaning out intestinal tracts or making your digestive system function better, that all seems to be pseudoscience.
So I think a lot of people lose 15-20 pounds on it, feel energetic and healthy and they think it works but the reason it is working is because you just quit coffee, beer, processed foods and replaced it with lean meats, veggies and shakes. Do that for 3 weeks and you're going to find some results regardless of if you pay 400 bucks for some pills or not.
