My missus, the Doc, has a list of horror stories of overenthusiastic colonic providers perforating bowels etc. I cannot imagine this is something that I would want someone to mess with down the local shops. These aren't things that get better easily and cause quite some lifestyle changes - and not for the better.
Be careful.
As far as losing weight I really believe it boils down to intaking less energy that you are expending. Two variables here. Eat less/healthier or expend more energy. God forbid even both. Some people say it is impossible but I am sure we have all snuck a peak into a big persons shopping trolley and often the cause is obvious. But I do know that there is a minority with endocrinological issues that makes it hard.
I think some diets are great at making you feel good tho and the 9 months I was a vegetarian had me feeling the healthiest I ever did. I did it OS in a country where meat serves were much lower than here and we had a lady who lived with us and helped a lot with meal preperation. Back in Australia it is just too hard to socialise without eating meat and also to run two different menus with meat being off for me but on for the family. Although we have cut down to probably 4 serves a week.
That is my thoughts and please remember I am a simple fellow who likes things simple. For anyone like me I recommend reading Dr John Tickell's books. I saw Dr John speak in 1998 before he became a TV celeb and it really was as simple as eating 2/3 good food (and we all know this is vege's) and one third bad food. Perhaps it has been added to since but read the books. My good friend Ruby has also recommended him to me and she knows everything.
Cheers,
