I’ve been taking megadoses (9 g/day) of chlorella in an effort to remove heavy metals from my body. I am wondering how chelation works with heavy metals in the body, and how the metals are removed from my system (do they come out in sweat or urine?). Is there any way to tell this regimen is ‘working’?

I just read about this method of combining the Acai berry and Colon Cleans, but often when I check into these weight loss methods I find that they also include a diet and exorcise regimen that would have had the desired effect all by themselves.

which you have to be born with and only 10 percent of the population has. Since diet and exercise are such a vicelike grind that you have to stick to for a lifetime they’re out of the question and unbearable.. At some point you have to let yourself go and accept being fat unless you’re among the lucky few who are blessed with the thin gene. Comments on this and I don’t want to hear any ignorant, supercilious answers from the fitness police like sticking to a rabbit food diet of fruits and vegetables and no bread or pasta except whole wheat pasta and only having a meal that doesn’t taste like rubber no more than 3 times a week. Life is a marathon, not a sprint and you can’t keep eating fruit, vegetables and soy products punctuated by an occasional meal that has a taste to it every Monday and Thursday. In other words you can’t eat on a schedule for a lifetime or do strenuous exercise every single day that makes you feel like you’re stuck in a vice. And I also don’t want to hear any bull.sh.it about diet supplements, acai berry or colon cleansing.
When you say you work hard to keep your body the way it is, you’re proving my point. Why should life have to be such a daily grind on a thankless schedule just to keep your weight under control. What are you a robot? I’m sure you feel like your body is in a vicelike grind with the neverending exercise and cardboard food tasting diet you stick to. All I’m asking for is a reasonable way to control weight, not an extreme regimen that makes life an endless boot camp.
No diets where you have to replace foods and eat certain foods. I don’t want to hear that garbage. The only acceptable diet is to never overeat, skip lunch and stay away from snacks like cookies and potato chips. You have to eat food that tastes good and not the bland fruit and vegetable, no bread, soy product nonsense diets. From those diets your sugar will dip so low that you’ll pass out from weakness. Anything other than eating regular food, hot dogs, pizza , bagel and cream cheese, but only once a day and only two meals is unacceptable. The diets where you can only eat certain foods and only have a hamburger or a slice a pizza once in two weeks are insane and only for robotically disciplined automatons who don’t feel anything and are oblivious to what their body tells them.

In addition to diet/exercise/taking vitamins, I was thinking about trying a colon cleansing regimen to improve my overall health and metabolism. I was reading about it, and from what I understand it’s pretty safe.

However, these are the questions that I cannot seem to find direct answers to that I want to hear from someone with experience.
1. How long does it take? (I realize this may vary from what kind of regimen). And it’s usually a fast, right?
2. Does the product that you take to do the cleanse… what does it make you feel like? Is it painful? Basically, am I going to be married to the toilet? Were you miserable doing this?
3. I’ve seen some pretty nasty pictures of the bi-product of this. Dumb question, but I would actually sh*t that out all at once? Does it hurt? How long from the start of the regimen does it take to get to this nasty point? And is that the end of it? Or are these pictures of what I will be depositing into the toilet every day?!
4. Was it honestly worth it? Did you feel any better? What were the short term and longer term effects? How much did you spend?

Thank you for answering my gross, but curious questions from your personal experience.

I’m buying a whole body cleansing kit.. it contains a liver, lymphatic system, circulatory, digestive, etc cleanses … and I don’t know how long it asks to stick to the regimen.. but I just recently started getting into a healthier "green" organic lifestyle… and I don’t know what to expect with this cleanse (it also has fiber in it, and I already eat fiber cereal everyday) so am I going to feel sick or bloated, or diarreah or what. thank.

I know a little bit about colon cleansing and the facts on colon cleansing and what it does to improve your health, but has anyone ever done a colon cleanse and if so, what is best product and most affordable one out there that works? I am just curious to if a clogged colon is responsible for all sorts of problems like foggy memory, lack of energy, irregular bowels and not having a bowel movement everyday, lack of concentration, mood swings, as well as a pop belly when you aren’t exactly that much overweight. Those symptoms represent me and I was wondering if doing a colon cleanse regimen would make me feel like a whole new person and give me energy and strength to go work out in a gym and build up my muscles. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

In light of the coming holy month of ramadhan, I will be fasting a month.

In this month and a half of summer, I gained a lot of muscle. I would really hate to lose all the weight I gained while fasting. Can anyone advise me on how to prevent weight loss?

The first thing that comes to mind is to exercise after eating; would that be effective?

Thanks!
I think I made a mistake in explaining my question. Let me rephrase:

How can I prevent muscle loss?

The reason for ramadhan is that it is a month that is meant to allow an individual to practice patience, and spirituality. Furthermore, it is physically healthy:

http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC156352/

"We report that when C57BL/6 mice are maintained on an intermittent fasting (alternate-day fasting) dietary-restriction regimen their overall food intake is not decreased and their body weight is maintained. Nevertheless, intermittent fasting resulted in beneficial effects that met or exceeded those of caloric restriction including reduced serum glucose and insulin levels and increased resistance of neurons in the brain to excitotoxic stress."
