The real question is how are you planning to cleanse your body to get ready for a weight loss program?

But in reality you’re doing more damage and could possibly add more weight once you do start your diet – which can be discouraging. Instead switch your focus from cleansing to training. Use the first 14 days of your diet as a trial and error period where you start making healthier choices.
