as red meat is quite hard for our bodies to digest.
Is that not a myth?
I just can't think its very nice for someone to sit there watching what is coming out! I remember seeing some beauty salon program on once and they done it, the guys were nearly sick!
Benefits of colonic are numerous. Without listing them, I will tell you how the process works...
As we eat over the years, out intestines become lined with build up of products. This interferes with our ability to absorb nutrients, meaning we aren't getting the best out of our food.
Colonic hydrotherapy washes out the colon and intestines, clearing away waste build-up and allowing us to get the full benefit of our foods again.
@ Matt - I don't think the dropping body fat and increasing muscle mass is as difficult as people think. It just requires hard work! That, plus I am sure I had more than my fair share of glycogen!

I just hope then you get a big Hilda look-a-like, your not really wanting some stunning blonde bird doing it.
"Oh nice ass, just bend over, thats it... just shove this up here, oh there we go!"
Thats maybe not so bad, you don't really want to be running into her in the local night club as she strowls over, oh yeah I remember you, didn't I shove a tube up your ass!
Ahead of my colonic irrigarion I have spent three days as a vegetarian. I am doing this as a voluntary preperation - it is not necessary, I just want to go in there with my bowel clear of undigested meat products!
I eat a LOT of meat. The doctors who suggest we shouldn't eat meat due to cancer would have a heart attack if they saw my intake. Breakfast aside, I eat some sort of meat product almost every meal - certainly every day. The only days I haven't eaten meat were Good Fridays until I went to uni (although this is really odd as we aren't even a religious family, but Mum was the chef at home so I ate what I was given!) Days when I was ill account for the only other non-meat days that I can think of.
I love vegetables, so it is not as if I don't have ANY other options, I just love meat. Given my fish allergy and the fact that I dont eat eggs, mushrooms and nuts means my options as a vegetarian would be reduced considerably. Food would get boring if I had to subside on a non-meat diet!
So what have I noticed in my three days without meat?
1. Weakness. I am significantly weaker as a veggie than I am as a carnivore. I am sleeping well, having enough recovery time etc. The only difference is my diet, and as such I blame it for my reduction in strength. Today I trained my legs - I was turning a dodgy shade of crimson squatting with 120kg after only 7 reps - this is a weight I would usually get a good 10 reps out of on my way to 150kg. My upper body is the same - my lat pulldowns were far short of my usual lifts.
2. Flatulence. I am farting loads! Personally I love this (I know a handful of you with think of this as vulgar, but I don't care!). The gaseous by-products of my diet have been enjoyed by me, but not so much by the guys I played football with last night or my training partner today. This has been going on now for 3 solid days!
3. Food boredom. Meat gives you so many more options in the kitchen. I am basing my meals on variety and it has served me well enough so far, but I know I would tire of this pretty quickly.
4. Meat cravings. A couple of doors down from where I work is a bakery, and they produce some of the best pasties in Cornwall (and I know - I have checked them all!) When I am eating meat I can happily ignore the pasty cravings as I will be eating meat anyway, which is the best bit of a pasty for my money. Without meat though the bakery smells so much better!
These are the current symptoms of my meat-free days. I have another two to go (hopefully) and then I am back to my meat eating ways. Perhaps it is too short a time to give a full assessment, but I can't say I feel any better or perform any better by not eating meat - quite the opposite!
