Colon Cleanse Weight Loss Programs

Colon cleanse weight loss programs are becoming more and more popular. Many people are becoming aware of just how many toxins we are exposed to every day. There are so many things that have a negative effect on our health and quality of life. Many diseases are increasing and there are new diseases being named every day.

It's time to take a good look at how we can limit our exposure and manage what we can in our lives that will make a positive effect. Just look at the American diet which consists of refined and processed foods that can be loaded with preservatives and chemicals. We eat fried foods and fast foods loaded with fat and sugar. Toxins are all around us. Our produce is grown with pesticides and chemicals. Our meats have hormones and antibiotics. Our water and air is polluted and the list goes on.

Our bodies were designed to detoxify and cleanse but everyone has a certain toxic threshold according to their unique situation. When we constantly eat food that is low in nutrients and fiber the food can go through the body without being digested and eliminated properly. When the food is not moved out of the body in a timely manner it allows food to sit in the gut way too long letting it rot and ferment. The longer this mess stays in the colon the more it can be reabsorbed back into the body through the blood. Personally I think it's a very good idea to use some kind colon cleanse weight loss program.

I will discuss some of the many approaches to do a colon cleanse weight loss plan.

There are some liquid only methods. The first is a simple method but not an easy one. This colon cleanse weight loss program uses water fasting for cleansing the body. That means water only, no food at all during the fast. Some people go on this fast for fourteen days or more. I have not been very successful with this method.

The pros -- it's very simple and inexpensive and you will definitely lose weight.

The cons - your metabolism plummets and you may have problems with low blood sugar especially if you have been eating a diet loaded with sugars. You may detox too fast which isn't pleasant and could turn into a medical problem. Most people probably couldn't handle a water fast or even want to try it. Also while water fasting the bowel stops moving. When you're water fasting, poisons and toxins get broken down eliminated into the blood stream then into the colon so you need to do an enema to flush out what you can. 

When coming off water fasting you need to slowly re--introduce solid food back into the diet. There are centers where you can go to for support for water fasting, they monitor your blood levels and guide you through the process. In my opinion doing nothing but water fasting for a colon cleanse weight loss program would be most the difficult program.

Another liquid approach is using a colon cleanse weight loss program called the Lemon Juice Diet or the Maple Syrup Diet. It is also referred to as the Master Cleanse. According to Wikipedia, Stanley Burroughs created the Master Cleanse recipe in 1941. The Master Cleanse recipe usually includes pure water, fresh squeezed lemon juice, and cayenne and grade-B maple syrup. The maple syrup must be real maple syrup and not the artificial pancake syrup. It also calls for sea salt (not regular iodized table salt).

The salt is for a salt water flush for the colon. You may also use an herbal laxative to make sure you have bowel movement. The lemons are thought to alkalize the body, the cayenne helps with circulation and the maple syrup may be intended to supply the body with some minerals and help with blood sugar levels. You need to come off the diet carefully. Don't plan on eating a steak dinner as soon as you come off this diet. You will need to gradually re--introduce food back into your system, starting with light broths. The duration of this colon cleanse weight loss program is 10 to 30 days. Be sure to research this to make sure you know what you're doing.
