Started The Master cleanse

Options
On Tuesday APRIL 12th I started the cleanse. I will be doing it for 21 days. So far....I have lost 6 pounds. But I did do the gradual ease into cleans. 4 days prior I ate only veggies on the first day...the second day I ate tomatoe juice and cranberry juice and the 3rd day I had veggie broth for the day and (last day before cleanse) I ate the same just soup broth. And then started the master cleanse. I do not do the morning saltester flush...I just can't I tried last time I did the MC and my body just can't *gag* just thinking about it. So i drink laxative tea before bed and it seems to the trick just fine.

I have done this twice before.... once for 10 days ( minimum recommended ) the second for 14 days.... and now I'm going for 21. I'll keep you posted on the weightless :)

    Master Cleanse is unhealthy and dangerous.

    I advise you to not do it.

    Well it does wonders!

    This is where detoxification comes in, and why you need to cleanse your body.

    Doing this will not only make you healthier, it will also lead to increases in energy levels, make you more able to get rid of bad habits, cleanse the body of harmful toxins, and promote weight loss through the increased energy levels and smoother, stronger metabolism rate that will accompany it. Truly, a detoxification diet essentially enables a person and their body a fresh, new start.

    Do you have medical proof that it "detoxes" ?

    I strongly encourage you to do some unbiased research on cleansing. Please don't just believe what one side says, actually with an open mind research the side of the cleansing argument that says our bodies don't need this. as was said our kidneys and livers do that job for us. if you feel the need to cleanse over and over, you should ask yourself what on earth you are eating to require this....and if its that horrible, why are on earth are you eating it.

    Only you can determine how you will respond, but consider all the sides of something before you put your body though something.

    Wishing you the best.

    I find the best detox to be a large black coffee in the morning. It's very cleansing.

    Name one of these so called "harmful toxins".

    21 days of very low liquid calorie? Sounds dangerous.

    I have done so much research. ... and am confident it's safe to do. Obviously not for life but a short amount of time. Some ppl have done it for up to 40 days.

    The last time I did it. I wasn't hungry at all. Had so much enegery. Still worked out 4 days a week. Like I am now. It's just a boost to help cleanse my body. I just got back from a vaca where I ate way to much crap food from the feign country and drank way to much liquor. So..... I would like to cleanse my body after a trip like that.

    I normally eat extremely healthy and am very active!

    I second this. Our bodies are a very effective system and we filter and 'cleanse' ourselves without these super restrictive plans. If this were really the safest, most effective way to lose weight and maintain a healthy weight every one would be doing it and there would be no obesity epidemic. Please be careful.
