    Take a look at ACG's pic. Clearly, he know's what he is talking about.
    If it's his pic that qualifies him, then I was the 16th president of the United States, and one of Dr. Seuss' most memorable characters.

    Sugar maples are a species of maple native to the hardwood forests of northeastern North America, from Nova Scotia west to southern Ontario, and south to Georgia and Texas. Sugar maples are best known for their bright fall foliage and for being the primary source of maple syrup.

    It is called the Master Cleanse, and it's not the best plan because it can kill your metabolism if you're on it for too long. I don't know how effective it is for "cleansing" your body, but as a diet, it sucks because as soon as you start eating, the weight will usually go back on.
    If you do it for maybe a day or two, it probably won't hurt... and you might find that it gives you the push you need to begin a new lifestyle :smile:

    I would love to tap a maple right now.

    Except for the fact there's so many different brands of juicers and they don't endorse a single one...

    Pretty sure he was joking about it being a commercial for juicers, but not about it being bunk, and widely discredited.

    You are correct in that our bodies can do it themselves, but for some reason WE can't.
    I tried it for 10 days, and it gave me tons of energy after the first 3 days of withdrawals.

    If only done for a weekend that is unlikely to be unhealthy, unless you have some underlying medical condition that requires keeping your blood sugar more constant. When I was young I used to occasionally just not eat anything al all for a day if my jeans felt a little tight. I don't know how much difference it will make in your long term weight loss goals though.

    Sometimes a short cut will come back and hit you in the face. I have tried so many diets it's not funny, but when you are not getting the nutrients your body needs it will fail. I have lost 10 lbs in 6 weeks. No, it didn't happen overnight but I know in the long run it will be better for me. Part of the process is knowing what to eat...and that does not sound like something I want to eat for any length of time.

    Keep on Swimming!

    It worked for Beyonce..... so good on her..... :smile:
    Allegedly.

    Exactly - There is NO way a musical performer like Beyonce who is very active in her performances, similar to an athlete, could subsist on maple syrup and maintain the energy required to do what she does, not to mention the schedule she probably maintains.

    I did it for a week when I was vegan. I lost 5 pounds and after the 2nd day it was not as bad. I believe I lasted 9 days for 5 pounds. Its mind over matter. The good thing was the weight did not come back on for me so it did stay off. Give it a try if you want. Its definitly will power!

    I like maple syrup...but not that much.

    Eat well, exercise, drink water and you get much better, long lasting results. :)

    Now if you told me it was maple syrup and bacon...THAT I would try! ;)

    I heard Dr. Oz recommends it so it must be good.

    Has anyone tried this diet? From what I know it consists of only drinking maple syrup with water and lemon juice. Was thinking of doing this for maybe a weekend? Not too long as im aware that it's not very healthy haha but just to give me a kick start! Any thoughts or experiences? :)

    Girl I know did this. I witnessed her pass out at work over the holidays. I laughed.

    I have lost 38 lbs just sticking pretty close to what MFP tells me to do, which includes enjoying solid food in varying flavors and textures. Honestly I personally would go a little nuts on a liquid diet even for just a day unless I was so sick I couldn't stomach solid food. 'Kick starts' usually seem like fads to me that would make me feel like I would be punishing myself to try and lose a couple pounds. You can do this w/o punishing yourself. :-) Just make good choices and watch your portion sizes so you can stay close to your MFP goal and you should see results. :-)

    They do. If you go to their website, there is one that they recommend, and sell.

    It's not a diet, it's a cleanse. Totally different, sure it works but don't expect that once you start eating real food that you're not going to gain any weight back.
