Not at all, it's all marketing bunk. Any time someone says you need to "cleanse" your body, especially if they use the word toxin, they're full of crap and you should probably cuff them upside the head for good measure.

If you're looking to lose weight, the only way is general healthy eating and exercise. Starving yourself or going on radical juice or no carb diets don't work. Most times they'll actually slow your metabolism which will cause you to gain weight rapidly once you begin eating again, then the cycle starts again until you give up or slip into a repeated cycle of starving and gaining.

Small life style tweaks will yield a better over-all result if you work with your metabolism instead of against it.


i'm 5'7" female, i weigh 170 and would like to get down to 140. i would like someone who works out daily and knows a good amount about diet and exercise to help me out. i've asked this question on here before, but all i got was 'diet and exercise'. i want to lose 30lbs in around 2 months. i would like to know a really great diet/work out plan that will help me trim the fat. thank you all so much.

There is no magic work out plan, those who claim to have one are usually selling you snake oil.

The answer is diet and exercise, but how you exercise is important. Cardio, weight training, and rest. Now many girls get frightened by the sound of weight training but it's actually what's going to help the most after diet.
First off, it will not make you look like a body builder. Those girls take male hormones to get such a result, you'll just tone and lose overall bodyfat. Many girls have a preference to cardio, while this will eventually help you lose weight it'll be a slower process. Working your muscles will cause your body to diminish your body fat quicker.
3 days a week, start with light cardio to warm up then go into weights. Choose a different area to focus on during these three days.
2 days pure cardio
2 days in between make sure to rest. This is important because if you hurt yourself, you won't be able to continue your regime.

Now regarding diet, DON'T STARVE YOURSELF. This is incredibly important especially if your working out. Your body needs atleast a minimum amount of calories to function, if you start starving yourself it'll slow your metabolism and thus your weight loss. Your body will go into panic "I'm starving mode" and try to build body fat and instead diminish your muscles to conserve on energy. It can't be said enough, starving yourself will give you the opposite desired results.
But you do need to pay attention to what you eat. Lay off the junk food, and if you're a soda, energy drink, or heavily sugared fruit juice person. Cut them out. They're empty calories with little nutritional value. Water is your friend. Other then that, it's just eating sensibly. Get your food groups in.

this is probably one of the best guides I've come across on the web.



so, i was hooking up with this guy. i was giving him a hj and he started to precum, it was like clear and there wasn't that much. he took my pants off and his penis was close to my vagina, is there anywa i could be pregnant? and if there is what should i do? plan b? (link)
A penis being close to your vagina is not going to get you pregnant. Sperm can't jump.


What makes him not just wake up and go to the bathroom? My brother doesn't just pee in his bed, he has peed in my moms bed and the couch in the living room. He just wakes up in the middle of the night and goes to sleep wherever.And hes peeing everywhere. Could he be peeing in the bed cause he has asthma?

Sometimes people have to wake him up to go to the restroom and sometimes he drinks water before he goes to sleep. sometimes he doesnt and he still pees in the bed.

he drank some water last night and he just peed

If it just started recently, it's likely the result of puberty. Such is particularly common in boys. Consult a doctor and possibly look into some night time protection such as goodnites or underjams to save on laundry and on ruined mattresses.
