Placeholder hit it right on the head. I have dealt with bulimia for almost ten years and I got into a very unhealthy relationship with cleanses. Although they claim to be good for most, most of them put you on a restriction of what you can and cannot eat. Most of the progams lasting almost two to three weeks really mess with your mind. Once you fall off the cleanse wagon, you crave EVERYTHING.
Personal research has shown me that cleanses really dont do as much as they claim. Dr. Weil explained it very well by going through the bodily processes that eliminate the toxins from your body. The body is a miraculous thing if you just letit do its thing.
A support person always helped me when in the face of a binge as well. The second that I feel out of control I shoot out text messages to supportive people in my life that know my situation. If you need an innocent bystander to walk you through it, feel free to shoot me a private message. I can help
