My mom's friend did it and I think my mom did it for a little while. It makes you poop orange oil. Pretty much straight fat. And they actually suggest that you wear a panty liner in the first few weeks because you may fart the orange oil lol.

I don't know about actual results though..

I heard the same thing about pooping out fat....kinda like the orange grease that is leftover on your plate after you eat greasy pizza...... definitely not for me lol. I don't know how well it works, I stopped listening after 'pooping out orange grease' LMAO

i know  people who have tried it...i personally wouldnt reccomend it though. Just strap "baby" into 1 of those things that straps onto you and go for a walk a day...i lost te weight really fast that way.

Anything that has the warning "may cause anal leakage" is off my list.

No, I haven't tried it but be careful with those weight loss pills. Make sure you look up a lot of information about it or ask your doctor the best stuff to take to lose weight. I want to lose 15 pounds so I don't know what to take...I think I can get it off naturally...but if not I'll hopefully find something.

Yep.

Diet pills are ineffective. Most people who take them gain all of the weight, and more back once they stop taking them. Besides, you can't take them while breastfeeding.

The best way to lose weight and keep it off is through lifestyle changes. Eat well and get regular exercise.

If you want to do a cleanse, find a systemic one that does it gently. I do a regular cleanse called ReCleanse, 7 Herbal Cleanse. It doesn't make you crap your guts out or anything like most of them do. It detoxes your entire body and it's so gentle. Of course, you can't do it while pregnant or breastfeeding though.

Quoting MamaToLucas:

Anything that has the warning "may cause anal leakage" is off my list.


I am a Canadian,breastfeeding (it IS best, there is nothing even close to that nutrition and bond), co sleeping, extended rear facing (if you don't rear face to the maximum of your seat, you're NOT doing all you can to protect your child), baby wearing, Non spanking (I want my kids to respect me, not fear me) ANTI- CIO, homemade baby food making, cloth diapering, organic (chemical free household!) recycling mama to TWO and one on the way! My husband is my equal and best friend, not my master and I believe basic health care should be a human RIGHT, not a privilege.

My sister did it and lost a lot of weight. So I tried it and in 5 days I lost 10 pounds!! I didn't have the side effect problems because I did it right and ate right.

Oh and I have kept the 10 pounds off. I had to stop taking it after the 5 days though for personal reasons.
