In an interview in September's Ladies' Home Journal, first lady Michelle Obama mentions that she occasionally takes part in a cleanse. She meant, according to her press office, that she eats as much fruit and vegetables as possible and cuts out fats and oils, dairy, meat, caffeine, sugar and starch for a short period of time.
Doing so, she told the magazine, helps "clean out my palate."
Such a cleanse isn't something I considered for my Me Minus 10 weight-loss project, but I wondered whether it could be beneficial to others.
Temporarily restricting one's food can be a useful way to kick off a weight-loss diet or transition to better long-term eating habits, says Jim White, a Virginia Beach-based registered dietitian and spokesman for the American Dietetic Association. Obama's mix of foods, though limited, should provide enough nutrients to maintain her metabolism and blood-sugar levels, at least in the short run, he says.
Keri Gans, also a registered dietitian and ADA spokeswoman, is not a fan, however. "It's setting up that the only way to eat healthy is to restrict," she says. "She should be learning to eat from all food groups correctly."

Buffalo butt nothing can help.
I have no doubt this is the cleansing she is secretly doing.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ramadan
Ramadan is a time of reflecting , believing and worshiping God. Muslims are expected to put more effort into following the teachings of Islam and to avoid obscene and irreligious sights and sounds. Purity of both thoughts and actions is important. The act of fasting is said to redirect the heart away from worldly activities, its purpose being to cleanse the inner soul and free it from harm. It also teaches Muslims to practice self-discipline, self-control,[8] sacrifice, and empathy for those who are less fortunate; thus encouraging actions of generosity and charity (Zakat).[9]
In many Muslim and non-Muslim countries with large Muslim populations, the faithful will abstain from food from dawn to sunset. At sunset, the family will gather the fast-breaking meal known as Iftar. The meal starts with the ritual eating of a date — just as Prophet Muhammad was believed to have done. Then it’s time for a prayer to thank Allah followed by the meal. In many homes, this is a simple meal of fruits and vegetables along with traditional Middle Eastern fare.[12]

Like five minutes.
You don’t get to tell your body where the ten pounds will come from. You could lose it all in the chest and arms and the butt would still be ginormous.
I want the secret to Michelle Obama’s “Big Fat Ass Diet”.
Hey, if you’ve ever listened to her talk, I TOO can’t tell her palate from her colon.
KFC chicken skins. Lots of ‘em.
She's so full of crap even prepping for a colonoscopy wouldn't do the job.
That's the kind of "cleanse" I'm talkin about.
Silly me....I thought you used sorbet to cleanse the palate.
She needs a simple anatomy lesson.
While she sleeps?
If she needs to cleanse her palate, I have a coupon for a “buy one, get one free” Oral B toothbrush I can send her. She’s not really trying to clean her palate with the fruit and vegetable diet, she’s trying to trim her butt. It ain’t working.
Booty and the beast.
You need an ocean of Drano that will be very harmful to the environment.
“Michelle Obama’s ‘Cleanse’ Will It Work for You?”
Old Michelle ‘thunder-thighs’ needs to work on her own problems
I’m interested just what can be done to cleanse her attitude (i.e., hating America, hating caucasians and so forth). She is one fugly angry “woman”.
