Candace Cameron Bure Cleanse: 'DWTS' Contestant Responds To Cleanse Controversy

Candace Cameron Bure is defending herself after fans reacted badly to her decision to cleanse.

Earlier this week, Cameron Bure announced her plans for a 5-day cleanse on Facebook and was immediately bombarded by fans who thought it was a bad idea, and now, the former Dancing With The Stars contestant is addressing the backlash.

"After reading your comments, let me expand! I'm excited to start my 5 day cleanse not to lose weight but to get my body back on track, ridding all the toxins and unhealthy stuff I've put in it the last few months," Cameron Bure explained to fans, according to a July 16 report by Us Weekly.

Since her Dancing With The Stars stint earlier this year, Cameron Bure has struggled to adjust to her post-dancing fitness and diet regimen. On the show, Cameron Bure was dancing for up to eight hours a day and eating extremely clean, but once the show wrapped, she slipped back into old habits.

Unfortunately for Cameron Bure, those old habits led to what she referred to as "private" and "minor" health issues, which is why she is embarking on the 5-day cleanse.

"This cleanse is just a step to getting it back on track because I know that food is a key source to healthy living," she explained.

Cameron Bure continued to explain to fans that the Paleta cleanse includes "real food," as well as shakes.

She added, "If you still comment about how unhealthy I am for doing a cleanse or that I don't need to lose weight, I'll know that you never read any of this and I won't bother answering any comments below of that nature."
