Hello All! I'll be starting my 4th week next week, and at the beginning my coach mentioned a cleanse during week 4. Is it mandatory for the protocol or just a suggestion? What is the point of it? Does it cost much more than a regular week? Thank you!!!

oh yes it does. i think its about 70 for the cleans. i didnt use it and have had no probelems.

My two cents - it's pretty much a waste of money. I will see if I can find one of the older threads that got into pretty good detail about it. You can add psyllium or sugar-free fiber powder to your daily routine if you are having "elimination" issues, but if you are drinking plenty of water and eating your veggies you don't need to "detox" your organs.

i forgot about that thread. good point.

Found the thread!

Oh thank you soooooo much! And now I will be foregoing the cleanse as well! How would I survive without 3FC?

Yeah - I never did the cleanse, I am skeptical on that whole concept, and at $67, too cheap as well. Plus if you look at the ingredient list for some of the products in it, such as Psyllium Husk, you can get those at the store for way cheaper. I did go get some 'detox tea' at the store for kicks, at $5/box that was fine by me! I don't put much stock into 'cleanses' though, and my coach never pushed it.

I have tried the cleanse twice and hated it both times. It made me nauseous.
