    I see kids in your picture. Are those your kids? Read the link then ask yourself if you would let your kids do this diet. THERE is your answer on how great it is. :)

    If you are into things like starving yourself, yo-yo dieting, and endangering your health... By all means go for it.

    I'll refer to a thread from a great friend who is a cleanse specialist:

    Sorry but you're not going to find supporters of any sort of cleanse/detox/flush/water fast on MFP. Anyone who tries to extol the virtues of the aforementioned plans usually gets ridiculed. Just a heads up.

    It's not a yoyo diet. Its a CLEANSE.

    Your body does a fine job of cleansing itself.

    That was brilliant. I second the recommendation.

    your body doesn't need cleansing, it cleanses itself, unless it is doctor recommended for a medical reason (Kidney, or Liver, etc). Even then, make sure you really trust your doctor. Our bodies naturally cleanse themselves with time, and most of the cleanses I see on the market are a waste of time and money.

    I recommend using the search button on the forums, since I'm sure there are others who have been curious and posted the same question, and I won't look, but I'm sure it doesn't end well :flowerforyou:

    My favorite thing about the Master Cleanse is the chapter in the book where they talk about how you don't need protein because your body can convert the nitrogen from the air in to protein.


    Just consider that one for a while, and decide for yourself if you think the book was written by a person you would trust your health with.

    NO. There are unspecified toxins from all the polluting chemicals that we put all over this planet that can't come out of our bodies unless we starve ourselves and drink lemonade. Or, you know, rub urushiol all over our bodies. Or something.

    To what purpose?

    To drop some quick weight? You will gain to back as soon as you start eating healthy diet.

    To cleanse your system? Your body does just fine on its own.

    To get rid of toxins? What toxins?

    To "jump start" your metabolism? Just eat at a healthy deficit and your metabolism will reset itself.

    And what, exactly, is a cleanse?

    To the OP........no, no, no, no, no.....don't do it.

    Wake up and don't eat. At noon-Drink a bottle of Magnesium Citrate (10 oz.) just drink water and chicken broth. Two hours later take 3 laxatives. Two hours after that drink one more bottle of Magnesium Citrate. DRINK 12- 14 glasses of water. The next morning your whole system will be squeeky clean. I do it once a month and feel GREAT!!

    Dudette, you have a liver, at least a kidney and a lower GI tract, right?
    Let them do the job of detoxing your body. Sit back, relax and enjoy the ride.

    Duh, to cleanse your body of all those icky toxins lurking deep down inside. Toxin's that don't have a name, but they are just BAD BAD BAD for you!

    Toxins= little nameless faceless inner devils.

    Yes, the mysterious unnamed, unmeasurable toxins that are somehow removed by drinking a weird concoction of lemon juice and maple syrup. Orange juice and maple syrup is ineffective in toxin removal!

    It is a yo yo diet because people do it to drop weight quickly, then they gain it all back plus more once they start eating regular food again. There's nothing cleansing about it. This is a fancy way to starve yourself.

    Cleanse by bathsheba_c

    To cleanse or not to cleanse? That is the question.
    Whether 'tis nobler in the mind to suffer
    The slings and arrows of non-specific toxins
    Or to take arms against a sea of imagined bowel obstructions
    And by opposing, perforate one's colon. To juice; to detox;
    No more; and by a detox to say we end
    The pH and the balance of intestinal flora
    That guts are heir to, 'tis a consummation
    Devoutly to be avoided. To juice; to detox;
    To detox: perchance to puke: aye, there's the rub;
    For in the pangs of indigestion what side-effects may come
    When we go and leave our undies soiled.

    I think you should really investigate this. Speak with your doctor, especially if you have health issues to see if it is safe for you.

    I read the book by Dr. Stanley Burroughs and decided to try it for myself years ago. I experienced rapid weight loss and convinced myself that I would keep the weight off by staying at 1200 calories or less. I was not a woman of my word, which resulted in me gaining every pound back and probably more.

    I hope you make the best decision for you/your situation.

    Ah yeah.... forgot about the pesky unspecified toxins.......

    A couple drops of VVL800 machine oil in a glass of water will "Cleanse" your system guaranteed, you'll spend hours in the bathroom and won't feel like eating for a couple days. Works great. :laugh:

    "Cleanses" and the like are nothing more than a way to separate suckers from their money, and they do so very effectively.
