Default Thoughts on colon cleansers?
I was just reading some articles and blogs on colon cleansers... (namely Bowtrol) after hearing an ad on the radio, and it seems many people swears by it as a means of increasing energy, losing weight, and trimming the waist, as well as getting rid of waste and toxins from your intestinal tract.

Has anyone on this board tried colon cleansing? Did it have an impact on your training? Were you more energized as a result of taking it? Did you lose weight? Did it help you lose that gut (if you had one)?

Are colon cleansers only necessary for the unfit/overweight/constipated population? Would it be effective for active, fit individuals as well?

Never tried one. But I just don't see the benefit unless you're trying to make weight. I'd like to hear what some others have to say though. I'm curious.

Thanks Jane for the link.

FWIW, here's the blog I was reading... (warning: contains not-very-appetizing images)

Scam.

If I ever need a cleanse I just get the hot salsa on my burrito at Chipotle. Whoa mama.

Hey Miss Jane, I read that thread. Thanks for the info. I don't think the colon cleanse route is for me.

Taking a big poop makes me feel better\more energized\less bloated. Normally a cup of coffee in the morning does the trick

Some homemade chili and/or some raw broccoli is more then enough cleansing for me.
