Detoxification

[jaydee]

Do you guys do it?

Are there times where you take a break from food/supplements to clean your system out?

I'd like to hear some ideas of how to do it while still retaining gains.

TIA.

One to two weeks before my blood I cease all supps. Take a colon cleanse pills with charcoal pills and psyllium husk before bed. Detox and cleaning...

Detoxing is a waste of time and possibly money.

That's a pretty blunt response Doc.

Why.

Lol you're right it was. Your liver and kidneys "detoxify" your body 24hrs a day, 7 days a week, 52 weeks a year. The only help from you they need, unless you have a relavent medical condition, is to maintain your hydration status and not actively take anything that acts like a toxin in the body like alcohol, drugs, etc. plus, the detox products on the market can be dangerous to your health and many of them are BS ingredients with diuretics so when you lose some water weight they say "look that 5-10lbs you lost were toxins".

Mind blown!

It's called a liver, buddy. "Detoxing" is a marketing gimmick designed to take money from ignorant people, to put it plainly.

This is the truth. Your liver/colon isn't a pool filter. Maybe fasting and drinking a bunch of water for a couple days would clean you out some because it gives them a break. I take vitamins/supplements all the time and have never had anything out of range. Most of those people are looking to sell something or obsessed with sticking things in their ass.

Lol I like the pool filter analogy.
