Healthy detox to kickstart weight loss?

I’ve been working out "hard-core" for about 2 1/2 months now. Doing personal training for over a month, twice a week. Also watching what I eat. Problem is, I haven’t lost 1 pound…not 1! I’ve cut my calorie intake by 200-300 calories a day, along with at least a 1/2 hour of cardio each day.

Anyway…is a detox a good way too kickstart some weight loss? If so, what’s a healthy detox?
I actually work out 5-6 days a week. 2 of those days is personal training.
I’m doing everything right, I know it. I have always eaten healthy. Always. No red-meat, plenty of protein, vegetables/fruit, lots of water. That’s not my problem. I have very good portion control, I just want to kick start my weight loss. I’m sure I’m putting on muscle, I just think maybe my metabolism has slowed and it needs a boost.

    Would it be alright if I did a semi-"fast" and only ate fruits and veggies temporarily for weight loss/detox?

    *NO SPAM*

    *NO SPAM*

    Ok, now that we have *NO SPAM* straightened out, what I want to do is a little something to clear out the muck in my system and then start in on a weight loss protocol. Even if there really isn’t anything "bad" to get rid of, I just think it better to begin with a clean slate, and get the ball rolling easily. I’d return to the other food groups once I got the ball rolling in the "let’s get healthy" direction.
    So would it be alright that for a week or two I did a semi-"fast" and only ate fruits & vegetables/drank water & tea?

      How many weight watcher points are in vegetables? (These certain veggies)?

      I don’t have any lettuce, we forgot to get it, but we got a lot of other vegetables.

      I cut up about 5 radishes, half a cucumber and half of a green pepper and am eating that. I put some salt on it, too. So I was wondering how many points that would be? I found a site with point values on foods, but it’s not reliable to the calculators I’ve used. I used the calculator on each individual vegetable and it comes up 0 points on them all. I just want to make sure that’s right before I eat anything else later. Thank you.

      What should I eat for the next few days after my 10-day water fast?

      I just came off a 10 day fast where I drank only water and ate nothing. THe first 2 days sucked but overall it was a great way to detox my system, and it gave me lots of energy. I guess the only thing I didn’t think about before I started was this: What do I eat first? This fast was not a weight-loss plan (I only lost 2 pounds anyway) but I still DON’T want to gain weight when I start eating. What’s the best thing to start back with? Should I go the next week on vegetables or something? I just don’t want to gain weight because my weight is ideal for me right now.
      Some of you need the read the entire question!!! I am not thinking about doing this – I already did it!! I am NOT overweight, and I did NOT fast for weight loss – it was for detoxing and also spiritual reasons.

      Weight Loss/MAkeover…Need Answers NOW!!! 10 Points?

      8th grades next year and i have a plan to get a 9 month makeover. I’m obese, and i don’t exactly have a good looking face, but my problems on my face i can take care of, and i have a plan about the obesity, i will also get a better style. I’m planning to be finished with the makeover during winter break. Do you think i’ll get peoples attentions? How do you think the people in my school will react? I really wanna know! Also don’t write down answers like dont change yourself for someone else please :] I know that i will meet people because of my new look but then they will get to know me and my cute personality (not conceited). I know ill look really hot.

      negative things are accepted if you really have to say it :] but keep it to a minimum.

      LONG ANSWERS ALWAYS THE BEST :) )!!

      Im gonna fix my teeth
      acne
      shave
      better style
      and smell better
      better hair
      etc. :)

      Weight loss:
      Info:
      Age: 13 and a Half
      Weight: 236
      Height: 5’8
      Obese

      My Plan:
      P90X (800 Calories)
      Physical Education (300 Calories)
      15 Min Strength Training (200 Calories)
      20 Min Cardio (300 Calories)
      Walking a Lot.

      Diet Plan: (In the 1500 Calories Range)
      No Sodas, Sugar, Really Salty Food, Oily food, Fast Food, or anything not in its natural state.
      My diet consists of Lean Meats, Lots of vegetables, Lots of Fruit, Nuts, and a lot of water.
      Whey is what my protein shake will be made of.
      Thats really it. I’ll also be counting calories and no cheating at all.

      Is it good? What should I change?

      another question: how much time will it take to have a defined, ripped, and muscle like body for example like paul walker? Just take a guess.

      BTW: I KNOW I WONT LOOK LIKE PAUL WALKER I JUST WANT TO HAVE A BODY LIKE HIS AND I WILL WORK HARD FOR IT PLUS HE WAS ONLY 16 WHEN HE GOT THAT BODY SO THATS LIKE A 2 YEAR DIFFERENCE AND I KNOW GUYS WHO ARE 14 AND HAVE A BODY LIKE HIS!

      Oh um Wish me luck!!! and i’m not trying to say I’m gonna be hot and stuff i’m actually very congeal and the opposite of shallow i care for people and myself thats why i’m doing this: to boost my confidence so i can gain friendship :)

      So these are the questions:
      Do you think i’ll get peoples attentions?
      How do you think the people in my school will react?
      Is my weight loss plan good or should I change it?
      and how long will it take to have a body like paul walkers?

      P.S. I know I’m young but it’s not like it’s impossible.

      Bye :)

      Try to answer all questions, and long answers will most likely be chosen XD
