Has anyone tried this at all, if so what do you feel about it? I was thinking of doing it for 10 days to give me a proper kick start. Id lvoe to hear some feedback before i consider it.

    is it only drinking lemonade for 10 days? if so- i wouldn't recommend it for THAT long. I've heard of two day juice fasts that seem to help, but I honestly don't know what their purpose is. Sorry i probably shouldn't have even responded but you can't delete a post after you write it!! I just feel like any weight you lose on a liquid diet will be gained back as soon as you start eating again...

    Do you mean the Master Cleanse with the cayenne pepper and maple syrup? DON'T DO IT... I did it for like 3 days a couple of years ago. It doesn't work and makes you feel disgusting.

    If you are trying to "cleanse" try a lemon and water enema. It'll clean you right out! I love them...once every two weeks. :bigsmile:

    I've been attempting it, but I'm not strong enough for it right now. I needed to get myself back to where I was before I fell off the wagon, but the first few days are tough and I never make it past day 2.

    I did it for a week about 4 or so years ago... It made me sick all you can drink is that lemonade (no food), my body almost gave out on me - passed out one day leaving my job...

    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~DO NOT DO IT~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    Yeah, I also felt very weak. I thought I was going to pass out. The Master Cleanse is VERY high in sugar obviously, so I think my body was having sugar rush, then crash, then sugar rush, then crash all day long. Not healthy... I'm sure if you stick it out you'll lose a bit of weight but the headaches, moodswings, and weakness were too much for me to handle!

    I think fruit and veggie detoxes are much better! :smile:

    If you're talking about Master Cleanse, I had some friends who raved about it so I tried it a couple of years ago. I finished the 2 week cleanse but HATED it. Seriously. I felt horrible during and even worse afterwards.

    I TOTALLY agree!!
  • 10 days might be too long, I guess. The longest time I've ever heard is 3 days. I tried it for a couple of days. First day, okay. Going into second day, I felt like throwing up all the time so I stopped. But I, somehow, felt cleansed :)

    I have done it last year for fourteen days and lost 13lb. It's called "master cleanse". I heard good report about it and tried it. I am glad that I did. You do have to drink sea salt water which most people just can't stand it, but it sure cleanse your system and the weight just came right off. I wasn't hungry any more (wasn't enticed by the smell of sweets and so forth).
    Now, when I did the seond time (6 months later), i had trouble drinking sea salt water and didn't last for more than 5 days. Just as for any diet, you have to be determinded to do this. Many people reported they have seen 'interesting things' coming out of your body, I didn't have that experience, but if you go to Master Cleanse group on Facebook, you can get alot of support. If you have more questions, you can email me as well.

    Eat a decent amount of calories. Eat good for you, wholesome food. Your body will take care of the rest.
