A Basic Cleanse to Enhance your Health & Metabolism!:
You cannot expect to improve your metabolism, lose weight permanently, or drastically increase your metabolism without first cleaning out all of the built up “sludge” that may have accumulated inside your eliminatory system/colon.
Skipping this step will make the weight loss/fat loss process far harder, and it will create a destiny for you of achieving only temporary results.
There are 3 initial steps to take for your cleanse to be most effective:
1st…Decide how long you want your cleanse to last. I usually recommend to my personal clients that their cleanse last no less than 1 full day and no longer than 7-10 days. For example, if they have lived a life of eating fast food and little or no physical activity, then their cleanse should last closer to the 7-10 day mark. But if they have lived a healthy! life, eating lots of fresh raw vegetables, exercising regularly, and possibly even doing another type of cleanse every now and then…then you need only follow this cleanse 1 or 2 days in a row (but most of my clients – even those who come to me in excellent condition, usually choose to stay on the cleanse longer than just 1 – 2 days…the average is 3 – 5 days initially, then once a month thereafter they can do a mini cleanse lasting 1 – 2 days).
2nd…Decide what you’re going to consume on the cleanse (this is a great time to get all the junk food cleaned out of your kitchen – give it away, throw it away, just get rid of it – but don’t get rid of it by eating it yourself!!!). After you’ve cleaned out your kitchen, you should stock it with healthy foods, and the only healthy foods you’ll be consuming on your cleanse are plain, fresh, clean water (preferably ‘distilled’ or ‘purified’ water), vegetable juices, and possibly some decaffeinated herbal tea (if you desire it).
The term “vegetable juice”, when used here, refers ONLY to juices that you juice yourself. So get yourself a vegetable juicer and a wide variety of fresh, raw, preferably organic vegetables. Then 2 or 3 times per day juice enough vegetables to fill a glass and drink it down (some people, including diabetics, find it beneficial to water down their juice with 50% water – this simply dilutes the sugar found in some vegetables).
You should add a small pinch of cayenne pepper to a few of your drinks throughout the day – this strengthens your blood, increases circulation, improves the assimilation of nutrients from the vegetable juices into your body, and helps your bowels eliminate the built up waste from your system (which gets rid of any constipation).
3rd…Do some light cardiovascular exercise like walking or bike riding for 20 – 30 minutes each day of your cleanse. Avoid any heavy physical exertion if possible – your goal is to relax and let your system rebuild an! d repair itself during your cleanse. Finally, rent a funny movie and laugh (a lot). When you have a good laugh, your body secretes chemicals that aid in digestion and promote good metabolic health.
Review this or any other dietary or lifestyle changes with your physician first.
A far more thorough version of the cleanse is explained in detail in Maximize Your Metabolism, or you can have a cleanse and a diet designed just for you in one of Christopher’s e-classes or in his mentor program – information on all of these products and services can be found at www.MaximizeYourMetabolism.com.

Have Control Over Your Body; Drink Detox Tea Daily
The more the world is getting invaded by the environmental pollutants; more the people are leaning towards the alternative means of treatments. The detoxification is one of the major therapies that have sparked off hope among the people of disease torn world of today.
The detoxification as process uses a number of tools. Several kinds of herbs are most important among them. These herbs support and enhance the healthy functioning of all the major detox organs like liver, kidneys, colon, skin and lungs for maximum detoxification.
These herbs are often consumed as supplements, but there are many more that are used to prepare detox friendly and tasteful herbal tea. Here re the descriptions of some well known herbs used for making herbal tea.
Milk thistle
This is a very well known ingredient to be found in almost all households. The milk thistle seeds are particularly good for lever detoxification. Apart from being used as a protector of entire digestive system including liver, gall bladder and spleen, the milk thistle seeds help you to detox after alcohol consumption.
Dandelion root
Another very well known herb is dandelion. It is also a liver friendly herb. Its magical diuretic properties stimulate the liver to eliminate toxins from the blood. The high potassium content makes dandelion a balanced diuretic. It is also good in clearing obstructions from the spleen, pancreas, gall bladder, bladder and kidneys.
Hibiscus flower
This exotic flower has a strong tonical value and had been in use in Egypt for thousands of years as a healer in stomach ailments. It also comes with laxative properties and thus good for colon detoxification.
Fenugreek seed
If you feel congested all the time or suffer from the bouts of cough and cold, drink the tea made with fenugreek seeds. This herb would support your lung by helping expel mucous and phlegm from the bronchial tubes. This herb works magically in healing with lung infection and helps expel toxic wastes through the lymphatic system. When mixed with milk thistle, Fenugreek boosts up liver functions.
Ginger root
We are all familiar with the exotic flavor of ginger, but little we know about the therapeutic qualities of ginger roots. It has a cleansing effect on the bowels, kidneys and skin. It also works as a stimulant for the circulatory system.
You can combine a number of herbs to make your customized detox tea and drink it up in the morning to help the body continue its cleansing process throughout the day for a complete cleanse.

Does anyone know how to make a great home-made detox cleanse/colon cleanse?
Drink tons of juice…
Colon Cleansing and Weight Loss?
Ok so I hear colon cleansing can promote weight loss, first is it true and secondly how can I do it. Is it possible to just eat loads of fibre or is there a special kit needed to do it? Any help would be awesome
It doesn’t promote weight loss — it makes you go to the bathroom more. It can cause damage to your digestive tract and can in the long term create an electrolytic imbalance.
Metamucil if you really want to be regular — and it contains soluble fibre that lowers cholesterol too.
Most people that don’t exercise have a slow metabolism and hence a slow digestive system. Once you start exercising and eating more fruit and veggies, you’ll have the same benefits without the risks of a colon cleanser.
is colon cleansing safe?
I read about a diet that includes cleansing your colon to get rid of the toxins that build up inside you.
PLEASE only knowledgable answers 
Thanks!
Colon cleansers
I am on the Acai berry product right now and I have also done "the ultimate cleanse" as well ( at GNCfor $39.95). The one thing that people are not aware of is that when you do these, that healthy people only need to do one a year if that, and when you do them you need to dronk extra water ( more than your daily amount) because it is pulling a lot of water out of your body and can dehydrate you which is very bad. You also need to be taking your vitamins and you may want to double them because the colon cleansers go through your liver and take out all of the vitamins and mineral that you need in your body because it doesn’t know which ones you need. so double up at least on a multivitamin and take supplements of acidopholus9 for your skin) and extra b’s and c’s along with a calcium-zinc-magnesium combination pill to help with bones and getting sick ( not that you will just as a precation to keep from getting sick. Your face will probably break out because it is flushing out all of the toxins in your body. Along with the vitamins, you should stay away from fast food as much as possible and eat as much fresh fruits and veggies and lean meats as you can otherwis e you are defeating the purpose. hope this info helps you. from my personal exeperience it has helped me fell better and took about 6 lbs. off in a 2 week period. Good luck
anyone tried a the acai berry and colon cleanse diet?
im getting acai berry supplements and colon cleanse supplements from a local health food store, so the products are not a scam. has anyone tried a diet of combining those two supplements and lost weight? and if so how much?
Hey there,
I’ve actually had a lot of success using those two together – I’ve lost about 43 pounds in 3 months using both the acai berry supplements and a colon cleanse product.
Of course, your results may vary, and it’s important to remember that neither product is a miracle cure – you need to be eating healthy and exercising too if you want them to work. You can’t just sit around eating pizza and ice cream and expect the pounds to magically go away lol
Anyways, good luck with your weight loss goals. Feel free to contact me on my blog if you want to talk about the products more!
