    One of my co-workers did it. He lasted for weeks and lost a ton of pounds. He was very happy and felt very cleansed (I will leave it at that).

    I tried it and lasted almost a day before I was passed out on the floor and throwing up. I turned toxic really quick. It took me three days to feel normal again. I have found that eating lots of fresh fruit and veggies did the same thing naturally.

    Never tried it, but the results are that you have less money, a little placebo effect, and little else.

    My best friends did it and lost 40 pounds in 40 days. But after she went back to food it all came back.She didnt eat unhealthy either. I think any food will make it come back on. I tried it for 1 day but at the end of the day I was light headed, dizzy, headache and then was throwing up!! Ill never do it again! And it taste awful, and after a few says your suppose to do a salt water laxative! It was awful!!!

    It's somewhere between useless and harmful.

    I did it for 10 days and lost 9 pounds and gained it all back in the next week. Also, I was obsessing about solid food ALL THE TIME. I was even dreaming about food at night! Also, it costs me 2 weeks grocery money to keep buying the grade B maple syrup. Soooo not worth the pain. All the relentless lemon squeezing made my hands hurt all day too.

    Of course you will lose weight on it, you could make your own diet up and call it the ''water with a bit of cumin and some pepper cleanse''

    Please dont do it, drinking just lemon and maple syrup would really do more harm than good, youll put the weight back on when you start eating again, and unless you're planning on only drinking that for the rest of your life then just dont.

    Dont mean to sound *****y but its just silly all these fad diets.

    I would imagine the results would be a slimmer bank account,and a water weight loss that comes back when your done.

    Of all the crappy, stupid crash diets I've tried, the master cleanse is the only one I would never ever be tempted to do again.

    I'm allergic to milk so if I want a good cleanse, I just eat something with a trace of dairy.

    Cleans me out quickly and effectively. From both ends, usually.

    Yes, starve yourself and you will lose weight. I did the MC. I lost about 10 pounds but my digestion has never quite recovered. It isn't worth it.

    Yes actually we have... that is ALL we buy in fact I am almost certain if I chose to do this I would only be using one bottle and at 25$ where we buy online that is not that high in my opinion

    True. For some it is useless and for others, it is harmful.

    Actually the cheapest grade B maple syrup (the one recommended) is not less than $18 anywhere including amazon. The jar looks big but gets over pretty fast since you will be using quite a bit to make 2-3 liters of the cleanse solution. I know I spent more on the cleanse than I do normally when I buy fresh fruits and vegetables...

    Never tried dialysis...I hear though, this is for people with Kidney issues.

    Your body has a natural cleansing process with your liver & kidneys. There no reason you need to "Cleanse". Begin making the healthy choices with your food and you get the same results.

    You know, this was precisely what I was thinking throughout the time I did this. I didn't know what I was supposed to be cleansing from my system!
