I love this piece, and was saying "YES!" in my head to every point...but then you lost me at the "detox" product. Upon checking it out I can't even find an ingredients list on the product page which is very concerning. The body has a built-in detoxification method — the organs! And, as long as there are no underlying medical conditions, if we move and feed our bodies well, stay hydrated, get quality sleep and manage our stress, this built-in detoxification system works all on it's own without the steep price tag and potentially dangerous side effects. Such extreme weight loss from a non-FDA-regulated product like this (even in addition to the exercise that you mentioned), often causes more harm and even MORE weight gain in the long run. If there is a laxative effect, a significant amount of weight loss could be water weight. Achieving your body's ideal weight and feeling good (if we want it to last long term and be sustainable) is a marathon, not a sprint! I do hope that you manage to continue feeling well even after you are no longer taking this product. Like I said, I do love the rest of the article and find it very relatable.
