There is such a thing as quick weight loss diets. But those are probably best for those who want to lose a quick 30 pounds or less.

In fact, when I think of the term diet… I think of quick weight loss. I don’t really see that it could be long term (although I am sure it is a long term solution for some).

I remember my first quick-diet was the so-called Mayo Clinic diet. I could only drink coffee, tea or water (doesn’t sound bad). I remember being really limited with food choices (peanut butter toast, boiled eggs, beets..etc.). I did it for a week and lost 15 pounds. I was 16. I gained the 15 pounds back plus. But people noticed the weight loss and it felt good (even if the diet felt like torture).

The second quick-diet I tried was the apple-diet. I ate apples all day long with the exception for dinner. I also loaded up on water. I lost about 10 pounds and gained it back. I was too hungry to stay on that diet.

And then there was the cabbage soup diet. Who could forget that? Awful (at least in my opinion) tasting soup that you were *allowed* to eat as much as possible of on all of the given days. Oh joy. I remember being gassy on that one and quit after just a few days. However, many (in my family) who were on that diet lost between 30 and 50 pounds. But of course… the weight came back with a vengeance.

I am not on a quick-diet now. I am on a long-term weight loss plan. And you know what? I am rarely ever hungry.

What are some quick diets that you have tried? How did they make you feel?

After reading some colonix reviews, I find that I am very much a fan of the procedure. I have always been of the belief that cancer happens because of toxin-build-up in our bodies. Unless you grow it yourself, there’s a good possibility that you ingest some of the chemicals used to help rapid-produce fruits and veggies. We have long-since been aware of the growth hormones and antibiotics pumped into animals for the purpose of rapid and large-growth so that we can produce large quantities of meat faster.

We ingest all of this and sometimes, our bodies fail to dispose of it all. Those traces of undisposed toxins can build-up and wreak havoc on our health.

That’s why, colonix (the name of the procedure for cleansing the colon) is so helpful and good for our bodies. It is recommended that everyone get their colon cleansed at least once a year.

Now that I have been successfully getting my body back on the right track, I notice that my hormones are changing up again. Actually, after 6 months of Aunt-Flow no-show, she is finally here rearing her ugly head. Now, I am not a fan of AF. BUT, the fact that she came back is gratifying because it tells me that my body is getting back on the right track to being healthy!

Another thing that has come back is acne. I am forever trying to find the best acne treatment. My hormones are constantly up and down. So sometimes my skin is dry, sometimes it’s oily and other times I find it is oily in spots and dry in spots. I feel like I need a whole slew of products just to combat the different issues.

Has your weight loss affected your hormones or your body in other ways (aside from getting smaller)?
