I plan on doing a colon cleanse next week b/c I have heard so many stories about people who did it and lost pounds and inches off the waist. Has anyone else tried it? What kind?

Come on, do you really believe in it? I can't believe people are willing to pay so much money and endure this uncomfortable procedure in hopes for a "miracle".
The only way to lose weight is to burn more calories than you eat. By cleaning out the colon, they will clean out the FECES, not FAT. Sure, you'll weigh a couple of pounds less because they'll remove a couple of pounds of $#&! :-) But not for long...
Here's a link to a QuackWatch article on colonic irrigation:

Getting a colon cleansing is not a bad thing. It is actually good to do it. I think you are confused in trying to use it as a weight loss method. Yeah, you will drop a few pounds, but don't do it for that reason. Colon cleansing will get rid of waste in your body, and it will make you feel better. But do understand it is good for you, but not a diet tool.

Sometimes 5 of the 50 pounds we aim to lose may be waste alone.
