Detox Cleanse Fasting

I've been learning more about toxins and detox fasting lately. This is where one lives off of liquidized vegetables for one, three, or even seven days. I read all about fasting to re-alkalize the body and flush toxins in the binder that Dr. Melos gave me. I looked up more online, and Dr. Oz had a show about a detox cleanse that looked fantastic. I have been drinking lots of V8 Juice lately and I really want to make my own vegetable juice. It's an acquired taste, but it's really good. That's all I've been craving lately.

I've been trying to lose the mysterious weight on my belly that I've had ever since I was a little girl. I thought it was extra fat even though I am healthy and I don't have any fat on other parts of my body. I went through a chubby phase starting from third to seventh grade (when I joined ballet I lost some weight). My baby fat melted away, but I still had a blob on my waist. For that reason, I always considered myself fat.
I just assumed it was a matter of too many calories. But maybe I've been going about this all wrong; maybe I've been looking at the wrong system! I recently came across an add that said toxins make a home in your belly, so that your gut hangs over your belt. That is strangely exactly what happens to me, so I was curious to learn more. I saw this in an add that told me to take a quiz to measure my toxicity level, told me I was full of toxins, and told me to download a free ebook. It was quite fishy, so I did some more research. I took a different quiz on a website that seemed legitimate and they reassured me that I am less toxic than the average American.
I am very excited about doing a detox diet now, but also quite stressed. It seems like I'm tackling this concept all at once. Perhaps I'll start with one or two veggie juice recipes. I feel like I'm getting in over my head. Like I'll never make anything of plan and I'll just be left with some almond butter and coconut water. Like I won't follow through with my plan. For example, take scrapbooking: I bought a whole bunch of paper and stickers, started like eight different pages, but still have yet to finish any of them. I actually want to practice this healthy lifestyle for the rest of my life and getting started is the hardest part.
I told my mom about the detox cleanse and she said she wants to do it with me, which I was very happy about because she never really expresses interest in things I like.
