Detox and Cleanse...Naturally

I hate to admit it, but I am a sucker for latest phases in weight-loss and diets. I have always struggled with my weight and fluctuate up and down and never seem to maintain. The worst part is when I have gained a few I am , without fail, complimented about how great I am doing on my diet/exercise plan of the moment. Since January I have been (badly) balancing - 

1. Weight Watchers (it works, when you actually plan ALL your food)
2. Flat Belly Diet (great plan for the first 4 day, but too many choices later)
3. Walking/Running/Weight lifting.

I have now gained and lost, gained and lost about 10 lbs..the same ones.  Granted, my eating has NOT been the greatest, but I work out 6 to 7 days a week. However, I feel that I need to hit that reset button, especially with an upcoming wedding (or two) and trip to Costa Rica. 

Enter Jillian Michael Triple Process Total Body Detox and Cleanse Probiotic Replenishment. What a mouthful, eh? I have been very conscious of what I have been putting in my body and have really veered away from processed foods or ones with too many ingredients. Reading the label, along with the Jillian Michael's label sold me (price point of $10 at CVS helped too).  It included

- Ginger - ok, know it and put it in my water, 
-magnesium - good for muscle recovery
-dandelion root -ok, yummy, natural, 
-garlic 
-Chinese rhubarb 
-yarrow

and a few ones I don't know - Irish moss, buckthorn bark, butternut bark,and  uva-ursi

There are not many reviews out there for this, but many mentioned headaches and bad cramping starting day two. Well, here I am on Day 2 - a slight headache, but that can be counted as there is a lack of caffeine, but no cramping. Not looking to lose weight with this, but getting all those apple fritters, beer and icky foods to go away.
