Ever seen the documentary Fat, Sick, and Nearly Dead? Pretty compelling. Makes me want to do a fruit and veggies cleanse myself for a couple days. Just to see how I would feel.

Instead of doing a fruit and veggie cleanse, you should do a fruit and veggie smoothie cleanse. Set out to do 6 days of smoothies. That's all you take in. Make the smoothies and drink all day long. There's really no limit to how much you can drink, just drink until you don't want anymore. Then...pick some more up when you get hungry again. The smoothie is because your body digests and gets the benefits easier/quicker in liquid form instead of solids.

You can basically make the smoothies any way you want with fruits and veggies. A lot of spinach and/or kale. But, then you can mix the berries or whatever fruit in however you wish. All you need is a juicer really and you are good to go. I've wanted to do this as well, but I have never gotten around to it.

He'll be getting nutrients he normally doesn't get and afterwards can incorporate them into his diet if he likes the effect the cleanse has.

You on the other hand offer no advice and just talk about "broscience" as if you're an expert nutritionist with 5% body fat...stfu already.

I did provide advice. I told him if he truly wants a cleanse; that he should fast for a 4-5 days. That's long enough that your body will have to start using body fat to sustain itself and body fat is where a majority of toxins exist.
