Just started this morning.
What am I in store for here?
What am I in store for here?
Was having some minor issues, Doc suggested it. Not this necessarily but upping the fiber for a bit. At around the same time this was being advertised on a couple of the podcasts I listen to.Why?
Cleanses don’t really have any benefits.
Thanks.It's just fiber therapy. I've gone on and off it over the years. I'll take it with me on vacations as my stomach can get sideways travelling. Generally it will solidify your poop and make clean-up much much easier. Might help with cholesterol and in some cases, could help with weight loss, but only if you're dieting and exercising too. Millions of people use it every day.
For this MetaMucil thing you just mix it into water and drink. Instructions say to up dosage as you go.What exactly is your regimen?
Not to downplay this but don’t lots of people take Metamucil every day? I just assumed there was more to this cleanse.For this MetaMucil thing you just mix it into water and drink. Instructions say to up dosage as you go.
Going to the gym at lunch. We'll see if anything shakes loose.
They are specifically calling it a "cleanse" in their advertising but that is likely just some buzzword language so it may just be their normal stuff.Not to downplay this but don’t lots of people take Metamucil every day? I just assumed there was more to this cleanse.
Good luck though! I hope you #### your brains out!
I thought it was syrupdon't you need to add lemon and jalapeno juice?
I use daily for the cholesterol benefits. I'm not sure if it's the Metamucil or better exercise but my levels dropped about 30%.It's just fiber therapy. I've gone on and off it over the years.

I will mix some with gin tonight in your honor.I will never forget the first time I was called a hero.
During one of the last big house parties of my high school career we were faced with a late night dilemma: we were out of beer. Much of the party was run off at that point, but a dedicated group of drinkers maintained on the rumor that there was some "secret booze" somewhere in the house. That rumor game to fruition as the host managed to find a handle of her mother's hooch. I do not recall the brand, but it was in a clear plastic bottle, and we pretty much thought we were the luckiest kids in the world at this find.
Until we tasted it.
It was gin. We couldn't even pretend to like it, it was a new, undesirable flavor for all of us, and as much as we wanted too, we just could not drink it straight. So a fruitless quest for mixers began - the house was all but ravaged at this point and there was nothing good left. Cork thought it would be a good idea to mix gin with milk: he puked on the kitchen floor, slipped in it, and pretty much passed out on the spot. One of the girls got a brilliant idea to mix it with bananas in the blender... there were only about 4 bananas, and there was no ice, that just wasted booze and upset us rowdies.
Then I made a discovery.
The host's father had the biggest tub of Metamucil that I have ever seen stashed under his sink in the master bathroom. I did not admit where I found it but none the less, walked that beast downstairs held high like baby Simba in the Lion King. Some were hesitant at first, and to be honest I was a bit apprehensive as well because all I knew was that Metamucil had something to do with poop. But I persevered, mixed up a healthy sized drink and proceeded to just flat out down it. I slammed the cup on the table expecting to hear a triumphant roar for them dozen or so people still there at the time. But all I got was Cork suddenly waking up saying how I was about to puke too.
Everyone laughed, like hard... it was pretty hilarious in retrospect.
Anyway, I immediately made another and before I had a chance to finish there were cups queued up on the table waiting to be filled. Once others were able to taste the brilliance of my discovery it became clear that I had, in fact, saved the day. I was called a hero many times in the following hour or so, it is a memory I hope to eventually capture on my tombstone along with the phrase "Suck it Cork!"
If you don't mind me asking, what sort of exercise are you doing? 30% is very impressive.I use daily for the cholesterol benefits. I'm not sure if it's the Metamucil or better exercise but my levels dropped about 30%.
I cleanse my body by taking a shower.Cleanse is a 100% marketing word. You "cleanse" your body by having functional kidneys and a liver.
It’s like the “8 Minute Abs” version.If you want to clean out your colon, why not just do the pre-colonoscopy routine? It's only one night and it cleans everything out of your body. It's a combination of Metamucil, Duralax and 60oz of Gatorade. Takes about 8 hours and you'll be fully cleansed.
Just go ahead and take the rest of the container and live blog from the toilet.Day one down. No difference. I'm going one more day and then upping the dosage.
Tell me more please. This has the makings of a good fad diet.If you want to clean out your colon, why not just do the pre-colonoscopy routine?

I was spitballing the number a little. Went back and checked and it's actually 23%.If you don't mind me asking, what sort of exercise are you doing? 30% is very impressive.

Eating normally. Looking at the ingredients it's just "Psyllium Husk" not even overly loaded with fiber according to the daily %.So are you eating like normal or are you just limiting it to the metamucil? When I saw this, I though just metamucil and no other food.
Take 1 TBS 2x a day (morning and before bed) with 16oz water. Eat an apple in the afternoon. And drink a lot of water all day.Eating normally. Looking at the ingredients it's just "Psyllium Husk" not even overly loaded with fiber according to the daily %.
Day 2 and nothing of note. Going to up the dosage after a day or so more per the instructions.
In. Can I borrow some of your candles?OrtonToOlsen said:Take a bath. Then wrap a hot towel around your head. And then make yourself some soup, get a nap.
That's still great. I might start back in on fiber therapy a couple of weeks before my dr. visit next month. Started walking 5 miles 3-4 days a week and quit drinking after the Super Bowl. Hoping for a reduction in my readings too.Buckychudd said:I was spitballing the number a little. Went back and checked and it's actually 23%.
No drugs, just increased fiber intake and weight lifting.
What sort of things have you added? I'm an apple a day sort of guy, but have recently been eating oranges too and that's seemed to cut out the need for drinking fiber. Curious what else I could add. Thanks.I’ve slowly added higher fiber foods to my regular diet. No big jumps, or dieting, pretty much just looking for trade offs here and there. I don’t have to explicitly think about it anymore, which makes things very easy.
prunes. seriously.What sort of things have you added? I'm an apple a day sort of guy, but have recently been eating oranges too and that's seemed to cut out the need for drinking fiber. Curious what else I could add. Thanks.
Wait. You're eating your regular diet and just adding some metamucil fiber? That's the "Metamucil Cleanse"?
It's MetaMucil and they call it a "Cleanse" on the packaging so I assumed that meant I was going to cleanse the #### out of my colon in some type of potentially dramatic matter. So far business as usual.Wait. You're eating your regular diet and just adding some metamucil fiber? That's the "Metamucil Cleanse"?
I thought we had some movement here when I read it the first timeIn. Can
Not yet. I'm going two scoops tomorrow.I thought we had some movement here when I read it the first time

Exactly what he said. The human body is very powerful when it comes to eliminating toxins. If you want to cleanse your body, just stop consuming toxins. And if you want a fiber that will give you quicker results, get yourself some konjac root. Better yet, eat a handful of capsules before every meal and you'll feel full faster. Might cause you to eat less and lose some weight. Careful with that stuff if your body is really toxic though.Cleanse is a 100% marketing word.

Ha. I needed to be corrected twice on that. Miralax and Dulcolax it is. Thanks.Corrected.
I do this on occasion when especially backed up. You have to drink 8 oz. of the mixture every 15 minutes until it's gone. It works really well but you'd better start early in the day and be prepared to stay home close to the ####er.
I made the mistake one time of starting too late on a Sunday. I had several issues on Monday at work.
did he at least recommend you try some fresh fruit and vegetables first? see how that works?Doc suggested it
You seem a little constipated. You want to borrow some MetaMucil?Have you guys seen the antacid commercial where the dude eats like crap, and has all these "meals" sneaking up on him? "While heartburn can be planned for on family taco night, a spontaneous pizza party at the office could prove more troubling." Dude is planning on getting heartburn. Props to the General for taking a step to better himself through diet.
