Flush the Fat with Internal Flush
Has anyone tried Flush the Fat with Internal Flush? Did It work?any side effects?I just got a bottle today and thought because it flushed out all the bad stuff out of your body it might be a good way to lose the weight. i know a girl who went to a doctor and had a colon cleanse and lost 25 lbs.. only difference you do this with a pill. I wanted to try this for a few reasons..not to be gross or anything but my bowel movemnents arent normal. Mine are every 1-3 weeks..i am miserable all the time.. im tired of this excess fat. I have had enough. I have got to lose this weight for my baby. I dont want something to happen and my baby not have a parent. (the father of my baby is not around) another reason is that i dont eat fruits and vegetables so i dont eat what is nessessary to lose the weight,, i am a very picky eater. thanks ahead of time for the comments.. :)

Detox pills are designed to work along with a healthy diet. It won't work if you are eating bad fats. Look into weight watchers...you can eat whatever foods you like. It just teaches you how much of it you can eat. The first few days leave you a tad hungry but it takes no time at all for it to be a lifestyle! I lost 35lbs in 2 months!

I agree with talking to your doctor, but I would also recommend using Miralax to help regulate your bowel movements. You can buy big bottles of it at Sam's.

HI B. D.:
Don't know anything about the flush but just want to let you know that you should be eating fruits and veggies not just to loose weight but because they contain vitamins and minerals that your body needs to be healthy. There are lots of different ways to prepare veggies to make them tasty. Example: Blue Cheese Coleslaw. You get the cheese and you get the veggies. Try changing you diet. Remember you are setting an example for your child. Your eating habits will become the childs eating habits.

Hello!
First I'm going to urge you to see a Chiropractor! It will increase your metabolism and get your bowels moving asap. You HAVE to drink water! Our body is over 90% water, if you dont replace it, you will never lose the weight and your body will have multiple aches/pains and problems like constipation. Try vitamin water, its great and flavorful without the artifical sweetners. You have to eliminate all artifical sweetners. They will keep the pounds on and make you feel aweful! It is truely posion. Look up dangers of aspartame and you will be amazed! You need to add fiber to your diet. Try whole grain breads if you cant handle the fruit/veggies. The most powerful veggie you can get is spinach. Get a bag and chop it as fine as you can possibly get it. Throw it into a mix of the foods you do eat. You can even put it in a shaker(like salt but you'll need bigger holes) and just spinkle a little here and there and you'll never know its in there! I know this is HARD but you are reaching out for you and your baby so I know you CAN do it:) If you want to do a detox, I would highly recommend New Horizon Organics. It is a whole body cleanse that has goldenseal and milk thristle in it. These are natural herbs that will detox the liver and other areas. Keep in mind, if your doing a detox, you have to follow it. You cant eat junk food or other bad choices with it and expect it to work. Do you drink soda? If so, taking this out is going to make you drop at least 20 lbs. Stevia is a natural sweetner that is not as harmful as the artifical ones. This and the detox can be found at health food markets. Let me know if I can offer any more advice. Best of luck to you:) Your doing a great job and your a great mommy:))

I've never heard of that brand before but colon cleansing puzzles me anyway. I migh be wrong but from what I understand, when you go to a DRs office for one, it's basicly an enama they give you!! Not fun-I used to be a CNA and had to give those to people!!!
On the other hand, you say you have a child. Well you really need to try to stop being a picky eater and learn to like some fruits and veggies!! Not only for yourself but to be a good influence for your child as well. I'm picky about my veggies. I can only eat broccoli if it is in something like alfrado sauce. I love calliflower baked in the oven with a little olive oil and some garlic and onion poweder (my kids eat it up too!!). My aspearagus has to be freash (I got spoiled as a kid with a garden!!) and I either buy the baby pitte carrots and dip them in ranch or I buy canned carrot slices, drain some of the liquid and put about 1/4 stick butter and some brown sugar in the pot. My daughter calls this honey carrots!! I only buy one brand of canned peas-Lesueur (very young small pease) becasue thoese are nice and tender!! Toss a couple of beef bulioun cubes in with a can of green beans!! That is how I do it. If those ideas don't work for you could alos check into that book Deceptively Delisious where it is recipies about putting squash in your cookies!! I have a friend that got it and she said it is a great book and easy to use!!
Also, add some water to your diet. And if you drink a lot of soda, try to cut it out or at least 1 can a day and you be shocked at how much weight you might drop right from the start!! I lost almost 10lbs in about 2 weeks and my DH who lives on Mt. Dew lost almost 20lbs!!!
If your child is still young enough, pop him/her in the stroller and go power walking for 2 miles in the evening!! He gets some freash air and some mommy time and you get to exercise!! www.sparkpeople.com is a good place for you to check out for a nutrition tracker (www.mypyrmaid.gov has a great one!!) and get some free videos you can do really quick in your own home!! Get recipies and find motovation!!
Good luck and don't look for the faster answer because it might not be the best one.

A colon cleanse is fine but the weight loss is only temporary--exercise and increasing your metabolism is the key the weight loss. Also, if you will eat breakfast, lunch and dinner (smaller portions) with snacks in between those meals--that alone will increase your metabolism. The problem with constipation can be easily relieved by using Benefiber (a powder that is tasteless and you mix into anything you drink 3 times a day plus get some Activa yogurt and eat one yogurt a day (it is good and even if you don't like it, it is small in quantity so just eat it) and your constipation problem will be solved within days. About 75% of the immune system is located in the digestive tract so if your digestive tract isn't healthy, your immune system is lowered greatly. I am an older Mom (son of two boys--17 and 18 and have two other boys 18 and 19 that have adopted me and live with us as otherwise they would be homeless). I am in menopause and that causes constipation but once I started the benefiber and the activa, that problem was solved and has not returned for months but you have to use the benefiber (and I promise it is tasteless even in water) and eat the activa. Constipation is typically caused by lack of fiber and not enough water. If you don't like plain water, try some of the flavored waters until you find one that you like--then drink as much water as you can every day and that will help as well. Plus water makes you feel full and you won't eat as much. I am 51, 5'8" and 125 lbs--thankfully have never had a weight problem even though I gained 50 pounds with my first child--but I keep my metabolism high due to the way I eat (I eat about 6 or 7 times a day but the portions are always small) and I drink about 48 oz of water a day--but the great thing is that I eat whatever I want including sweets. Water flushes the system better than any product you can buy. I hope this helps. Have a blessed day.

I strongly suggest that you have some colon cleans session. Your bowels should move (at least) every 24-36 hours. I am not sure where you are located but you should call a center and speak with someone that can advise you on what you options are. My bowels are pretty regular but I was beginning to have some other issue that raised a concern for me. I have gone to a place called Colon Care Center in Alpharetta Ga and the staff there are so helpful. I would advise you on calling a few before you use any over the counter remedies first. If you would like the phone number to where I went just let me know. Good Luck.

If you are pregnant you shouldn't take anything that you haven't cleared with your doctor. I know of a natural product that will help get your bowel movements into a normal pattern. The company also has a online weight loss program.
