12 Day Cleanse...thoughts?

WandaVonDunajew

I have a friend who did Mastercleanse for 10 days. She said its amazing to see what you can eliminate out of your body even after 10 days of only liquids.

So you don't have a liver and kidneys, then?

I meant out of your intestines. I still feel like cleaning out everything in your digestive tract is a good idea. Nobody says you have to do it for 10 days, a couple of days of fasting is beneficial for your health and that is a proven fact. Muscle loss will NOT appear in those couple of days of fasting due to lack of protein and the maple syrup ensures the calories per se. As long as you have a balanced diet afterwards and dont stuff your face with crap, you'll be fine, The cleanse isnt there for fat loss, its there for cleaning your colon. Or just get an enema and be done with the whole shebang in a couple pf hours. Personally, I prefer the cleanse.

I did this. I hated it. I lasted 10 days. I had terrible stomach aches all the time, kept dreaming/hallucinating about solid food and my hand hurt like hell because of all the lemon squeezing.
Also my tongue got bald and my taste buds kinda died (they came back later though thank God!).
I put on all the 9lbs I lost and gained more.
The salt water flush was probably the worst. I wouldn't wish that kind of painful explosive diarrhoea on my worst enemy, ok maybe I would, but I digress.
This stupid "cleanse" costs a lot of money!! The grade B maple syrup is EXPENSIVE. You go through the bottles pretty soon.
Take my advice, you do not need to cleanse anything from your body. Your body does the job just fine. Just eat 2-3 fruits a day for that extra "cleansed out" feeling!
I've tried every fad diet out there and this is the only thing that works: eat well, exercise and count calories.
