It's got everything, woo, conspiracy theories and Jesus.

MFP forums are not a good place to ask about cleanses, detoxes, intermittent fasting, etc. Lots of haters out there on this subject. I'm about your age and I have done this and love it. Still go back to it occasionally if I start eating more unhealthy foods. I will send you a friend request and if you accept, I will let you know my experiences with the lemonade fasts. Have a good day!

I don't think that it removes toxins, and I don't recommend it exactly.... However I did the lemon master cleanse for 10 days and ALSO a water cleanse (only water and green tea) for 10 days about 2 years ago and it jump-started my weight loss and I've gradually lost 20 pounds in past 2 years. (Very slow last 10 pounds and I'm still going, first 12 from cleanses and gained a few back after eating.)
I was going through a lot of bad stuff in my life and was in need of something to focus on- it was a spiritual experience of fasting for me too. But I don't think I will EVER do it again.
I was vey very weak and wasn't working at the time but no way I could have gotten through a normal work week or taken care of a family. I was totally on my own those weeks.0 -

Well, sometimes he's busy. That's when you round up random items from your refrigerator door and drink them all together.
I feel like we haven't spent enough time in this thread discussing why you have to have maple syrup and cayenne in this thing.0 -
OP - have your liver and kidneys stopped working??????
No they have not. In fact I am in excellent health (my doctor says) other then I personally want to lose about 10 more pounds.juliemouse83 wrote: »Even if it DID detox a body, I am really not sure how anyone could do it.

Why make yourself miserable?
True, I don't want to be miserable. I was just asking the question, if anyone had done it. I have fasted before for one day, which my doctor said is ok to do, but that is the longest I have gone without solid food.

It also allowed for healthy snacks all day long (veggies, fruit, nuts). It helped lose some weight and get my mind on the right track for eating better. I'm not a doctor or nutritionist so I can't comment on cleansing any toxins, but it helped kick start me on my journey and I have been doing fairly well after that initial 10 days. My go round was in November. Lost 24 lbs since i started so it helped me. Again, I can't comment on the science of it, but an all lemon water cleanse seems pretty drastic. The one I did, I still had a lot of nutrients from the smoothies and then also had a nice healthy dinner. The snacks also helped to keep me full so I wasn't really starving myself, just eating better.
That is fantastic. I love the smoothies also. My favorite is unsweetened almond milk, 1 leaf of kale, 1 fresh orange, 1 half banana, ice cubes and 2 tbsp. flaxseed. I try to have one of these at least 3 times a week. substituting the orange for an apple. Congratulations on your weight loss. Keep up the good work

That is a lot of info. I don't believe I have any of those problems hep or a partial obstruction but it is some interesting information.

So you did it for weight loss or for the cleansing? My co-workers said they were very weak also.....our jobs are very physical, so feeling weak would not great at work.0 -

they were weak from the lack of calories.
to lose weight you need a moderate calorie deficit
ten days on nothing but water and green tea like the poster you quoted is a starvation diet. of course you lose weight you didnt eat for 10 days but its not fat you lost its a combo of water, lean muscle mass and some fat
personally i want to keep my muscles in tact as much as i possibly can

if you want to lose ten more pounds just keep eating in a deficit and exercising, that is if you currently exercise…
a lemon cleanse has absolutely nothing to do with losing ten more pounds….ziltch, zip, nada….0 -
If I remember rightly, John Wayne died of lung cancer.
OP, do not smoke - now that is good health advice to take from the death of John Wayne.

This is not info. It is a lot of something, but it is not info. It is closer to 100% pure bull *kitten*, which, I guess is at least "natural" and "clean" because it came straight from the bull.
This just gave me an idea. I am going to start selling a "bull *kitten* cleanse" It is all natural! Straight from the bull! 100% "clean" and "organic" ingredients!0 -
I add lemon zest and juice to the mashed potatoes of my shepherds pie. It lightens things up and the lemon detoxes the lamb fat into non toxic tastiness, who would have thought.0

I'm a vegetarian, but I make shepherd's pie with lentils. Adding lemon zest to the potatoes sounds brilliant. Thanks for the idea.

I like to put slices of lemon in my water, it's delicious. Isn't it bad for you to drink salt water, and that's why we don't drink the ocean? (OK, that wording was stupid, but you know what I mean.)0
