Weight Loss Programs/Pills/Cleanses - Reviews & Thoughts?

I've been looking into many of the products that are currently available on the market today. A lot of them are based on the idea of cleansing one's body of toxins and/or colon cleansing. Here are some of the products I've read up on... Dr. Suzanne Gudakunst's Book "Top Secret Fat Loss" Dr. Natura's Colonix & Toxin Out Ever Cleanse Internal Flush - which I have used in the past and would give it a 3.5 out of 5. Results are similar to that of a laxative, however, I would say it does increase the frequency of both types of bathroom trips and helps to really make one feel better - also, the expert at our local independent health food store said that it's been around for a lot longer than it's been advertised and has been a highly trusted product for both clearing out the bowel along with toxins, but also for cleansing the kidney or liver (can't remember which one she said). But...I really want to cleanse my system and I don't want to waste my money. It seems very hard to find reviews on these products. Sure, the websites have lots of testimony, but none that I can believe as they may be fake. I want to hear it out of the horse's mouth. Also, if you know of any products, please mention them even if you have no idea what the product's reputation is. I'm willing to do my research. As much info as possible please. I greatly appreciate the answers so far, however, they really are suggestions for weight loss and not cleansing. Other than in my headline of my question, I don't mention weight loss as my issue at hand. Really, what I want to know is information on the products I mentioned, and more info regarding "cleansing" my system. Yes, many of these types of products are related to weight loss, but that's not my initial goal. So, once again, if anyone has used these products, heard reviews on these products mentioned or has used other products that are good or bad...I'd love to know. Though, I will do some research on the other products that have been mentioned here, as they sound worth looking at for weight loss.

  1. Whenever you are trying to lose weight, you should concentrate on these three things which all work together in providing a healthier and quicker weight loss goal for yourself. I have found this combination really successful in my weight loss plans. The first thing is exercising and how much you can put forth into it. The more you exercise, the more results you will see. The next thing is dieting and the calorie intake. If you exercise more, technically you could eat more? Always watch what you eat. Now the last step in a good weight loss plan is always a good diet pill that can help you get to the end of the road. I have found Proactol which is a natural herbal diet pill to be the best around. It's an appetite suppressant along with being a fat blocker which stops up to 28% of fat you eat. Read up about it at TheWeightLossPlace .com where I saved money on it. Proactol really works well with exercising which gives you plenty of energy to perform. Along with that you diet will be affected by Proactol due to the appetite suppressant and fat blocker. If you slip up on meals, the fat blocker kicks in. It's really great to stop food cravings. Concentrate on those three things and the combination is deadly for the fat cells in your body. Good luck and I hope this helps.
  2. Diet Pills can help you to speed the process and it needs to combine with a realistic weight loss plan. With these, you will be able to achieve your ideal weight sooner. The effective way to lose weight without worrying much about negative side effects is adhering to the intake of natural or organic weight loss supplements. In addition, it is important that before you get ready to shed off those extra pounds in your body with weight loss drugs, make sure that you buy diet pills from genuine dealers. Some good choice of diet pills will be Proactol, Phentermine, Hoodia and Chitosan As for more advice on the diet pills, you should get the details for the article http://ezinearticles.com/?Rediscover-The-New-You-With-Natural-Diet-Pills&id=1050601
  3. I personally like the Isagenix cleanses. I've tried every cleanse in the book and this is the program I've been sticking to for the last couple years. I'm sure you know all this, but here is my take on choosing a cleanse... Cleansing is great, and vital to your health, but you need to do it correctly. The purpose of a cleanse (especially if you are fighting a degenerative or chronic disease) is to detox your body AND give your body the nutrients it needs to regenerate clean, healthy cells. Most cleanses -- like the master cleanse, etc. -- do detox your body, but do nothing for restoring balance to your system. For example, your body is building about 1 billion new cells each day. If you cleanse without flooding your body with super-absorbable nutrients, your body has to create new cells out of whatever is left over in your system after you cleanse-- which is usually mineral, vitamin, protein and fat deficient. This is why Isagenix is different, and so much better than anything else on the market. The Isagenix cleanses flush your entire system (colon included) of all the junk, while simultaneously flooding your cells with super nutrition. This way, when your body starts building new cells -- they are made out of the best "parts" available. This will help your body regenerate parts of your body that need help (i.e., new pancreas cells if you are diabetic, new skin cells if your suffer from eczema/psoriasis, new neural cells if you suffer from emotional imbalances). Other benefits of this type of cleanse are: eliminating unhealthy cravings, weight loss, better sleep, more energy, sharp intellect and clear skin. Of course, I am biased, and completely endorse the Isagenix product line :) Here's a video that explains the Isagenix nutritional cleanses -- it's only a few minutes long... http://media01.isagenix.com/Corporate/WW/EN/microsite/cleansedforlife/cleansed_video.html Good luck!
  4. Ok, so here's are my thoughts; I have tried Isagenix, have bought and read Top Secret Fat Loss Secret, am currently using Colonix, constantly read and have read Men's Health for as much nutrition/diet info as possible, etc. Isagenix products I think are pretty good BUT if your colon is compromised with plaque and parasites (stomach possibly too), then even it's "super-nutrition" will be to no avail. Bascially, if already the intestine cannot absorb nutrients properly (some say 80% simply pass through wasted), and if parasites are theiving nutrition in addition, then what good is sending even more through gonna do? None! So of course the first order would be to get the intestines/colon back up to speed. While the other user stated that Isagenix does cleanse the colon, it does not cleanse mucoid plaque or parasites. While it may be useful in losing weight (mainly through hunger-control in my mind), getting using Colonix would be a much shorter trip to acheiving the same goal AND much more. Now, of course Colonix does deal with the plaque and parasites but that's because that's its focus. It uses an expanding fiber to literally knock the plaque loose (something nutrition alone cannot do). In addition, the bitter herb mixture creates an environment that kills the parasites and their eggs (which must be done cause if any life cycle is left then their cycle continues and so does infestation). So far, I've been on it 5 days and I feel incredibly better...though not everyone feels results this quick. I just can't wait to lose more fat... I probably will never use Isagenix as a nutrional supplement anymore... I think that it is waaaay too expensive and I really don't believe its needed anymore. A much better health supplement in my opinion would be Juice Plus, which is an incredible vegetable/fruit supplement. This is because many supplements use vitamins that aren't even able to be processed and utilized by the human body, some might even be dangerous and people mess with dosages and that might be dangerous as well. While Isagenix might not be dangerous, I feel real food just can't be beat. To explain, I feel like adding I've also been on a Biblical diet of unprocessed foods; raw milk, raw honey, fertile chicken eggs, etc. for some time and I have felt even better with it than when I was regularly taking Isagenix. I actually had a friend whose dad had high blood pressure, didn't want to go on medication, and started this same diet. When he went back to the doc's, the doc sat on the table and told him to level with him what he's been doing...he then went on to say the if his blood pressure went any LOWER then he would have to get on medicine to raise it back up! Isn't that insane?! So real, raw food is in my opinion a real step to becoming the healthiest you can get (and staying slim since the more quality nutrition you can get, the less you consume trying to satisfy your body's hunger). Anyways, I like Top Secret Fat Loss Secret for one reason explicitly. Basically, it has all the info of the best places basically rolled up into one. I have done so much research throughout the years, and basically its the only resource you need for info. It will just save you time, money, and effort because you don't have to go anywhere else to find more. It's complete and concise, no fluff. Basically, I wouldn't have had to read website after website, try product after product, buy magazine after magazine, and read book after book if I had had all the info Top Secret Fat Loss Secret contains. With that said, it isn't an actual cleanse. It just refers you to cleanse products. BUT like I said, it tells you exaclty everything else you need to do to be healthy the right way with all of the most advanced and accurate techniques for losing fat and maintaining health without wasting your time. If you want to read my personal review of it you can find it here: http://www.squidoo.com/topsecretfatlosssecretscam So you can obviously make up your own mind. My advice to you would be do a real colon/intestinal/parasite cleanse, get rid of processed food, get some real nutrition from real food, and exercise in a real educated manner (circuits, multiple muscle-group strength-training, running). But also understand detox and symptoms to be prepared and know when to slow down... though I theorize that having a cabaple, cleansed colon will reduce detox symptoms dramatically. Hope things go well for you! :)
