Slim fast detox?

Has anyone tried the slim fast detox?

Has anyone tried the slim fast detox?

fourfolks, yes: it's simple, straightforward, and misleading.  given the context (the weight-loss forum of a weight-loss site), the obvious implication is that the asker is considering trying the slim fast detox.  it would take a huge intellectual leap to imply what she was actually asking (or what she claims in her 4th post to be asking).

I'm going to side with pg on this. If nursemeow was asking from a professional/educational point of view, the original question should have been reworded to be clearer, especially given the influx of new blood on the forums, many of whom DO believe that detoxes are actually useful.

thanks, amethyst.

one thing you can count on with spiro and me: what we say is exactly what we mean ;)

I love you guys! 

I am in the communications field and I'm constantly trying to explain to certain individuals why their communications go awry.  This discussion thread, even though I won't actually use  it, gives me so much fodder to validate my points!

Without taking up a ton of space explaining why, I give several of you A+'s and 'kudos' for bringing up valid points.

As for the detox question, I'll stick with supporting what the Mayo Clinic blurb had to say.  I'm living proof of what a healthy, clean, diet can do for one's body.  I've come through cancer surgery, surgery to remove questionable lesions, lost 200+pounds through exercise and good nutrition, and I'm not on one single medication other than a daily multiple vitamin.  Not bad for a gal nearing 50!!!

Peace, people!

Side Note to FourFolks.....  I've never heard the phrase "You brought an aluminum bat to a whiffle ball game," but I love it.  Thanks for the chuckle.

cool, kauf ;)

it's unfortunate that so many people prefer pacification to honesty, though.

Wow, I'm sorry I asked.

Don't be!  This has actually been an enlightening conversation, no matter what the purpose of your original question.

It actually made me do a little more research on the topic.  Like with any of the diet/weight loss options out there, knowledge is a powerful tool!

Now go drink a glass of water and I'll do the same!  

You make me laugh kaufmkk, I'll have a glass of water too,

Here is to everyone's health!
