Question:

Is a 1 or 2 day water fast done during cleansing (using Garden of Life Perfect Cleanse) beneficial or harmful?

I'm currently using Garden of Life's Perfect Cleanse Kit. It's a 10 day program and I'm on day 7 but I haven't had very good results with it. I've been having headaches and haven't had a bm upon arising as it states I should be having during the program, so I'm wanting to accompany a day or two of the program by doing a water fast. The instructions state that I should drink plenty of water during the program and I am drinking lots of water already, but I am also eating normally throughout the day (my 3 meals, breakfast, lunch and dinner at regular times of the day - no junk food or fast food either). So do you think it would be safe or a good idea to do a 1 or 2 day water fast while I'm on this Perfect Cleanse program?


Answers:

Those "cleansing" kits are a waste of money. They're no good. Most won't harm you, but it's not going to clean out your system or help you lose weight. And they are causing the headaches. Want to clean out your system? Eat foods high in fiber. Or take a fiber supplement like Metamucil 3 times a day for a week. That helps put liquid in your colon and will push all the stuff stuck to the sides--out. Gross, I know, but that's what you need and those kits do not do it. Eat some whole grains, get some Fiber One cereal (it has the highest fiber of any cereal) and drink plenty of water. But no kit and no water fast. That will just make you feel much worse and those headaches--well, you'll want to amputate at the neck it will get so bad.
