    I prefer the water and fiber master cleanse.

    If you truly hate yourself then do this cleanse. If you don't hate yourself, you will after a few days of this cleanse.
    It's horrific.
    I tried it about 5 years ago. I lasted 3 days.

    If you can't see yourself doing something for the rest of your life and you're questioning how long you'll even stick with it then it's probably not going to work.

    Water, exercise and mindful eating. That's what works. It's simple.

    Everytime I see the word 'cleanse', I think that this stuff must make you poop yourself a lot.

    I watched Hungry for Change and am doing the 3 day cleanse. Lots of veggies and juicing. No way could I survive on a TEN DAY lemonade cleanse! Crazy.

    Have you read any of the previous posts? Why do you think this will make a difference? Eat healthy, push your body to get strong and the weight will take care of itself. Oh, and stop falling for every "trick" that comes down the pike. If ANY of them worked, MFP would not be on line anymore. Look around!

    Hello There (:

    I made this profile a long time ago but now I'm only going to start using it to share/receive information with fellow people like you guys! :D

    ANYWAYS.. let me tell you guys about the Master Cleanse when I was on it! I started at 162 lbs

    So.. I gave it a try for 5 days lost 7 lbs and then failed.. when I failed it was uncontrollable binge eating.. seriously. At first I would only eat one chicken wing and danggg... I would be SOO FULL! The next day however.... I ate Chinese Food and everything.. a lot more than I usually would have.. 2 weeks shortly after I gained even more than my original weight at 164 and feeling a lot more sluggish and bloated.

    I then gave it another try.. and this time I did a whole 30 days and lost 17 lbs leaving me at 143 !!! I was going to go for 40 but for a whole week.. I stopped losing weight and felt very fatigue so I decided to see the doctor and nutritionist at my university. When I got off the cleanse.. I had such a hard time adjusting my body to food again.. I would eat a little and my stomach would be hard and stick out as if I was pregnant. I also had problems where I couldn't poop (lol) because my body was so used to that Detox Senna Leaf Tea so my body basically shut down in it's bowel movements... I couldn't have peristalsis which is that wavelike squeezing movements of your intestines to get your poop out.. lol ANYWAYS.. I also took Nutrition class and did a lot of research to find out that my body was also going through ketosis because of the lack of carbs I had in my body... which is like the (no carb diet) .. which is why I now believe that you need to have a balance of everything when you want a healthy lifestyle.. If I had just ate healthy.. and did my exercises consistently that whole month instead of the master cleanse.. I would have lost 10 pounds, gained instead of losing muscle.. as well as kept it off. Although I went from 164 - 143.. I eventually gained it back and now I am at 160 and feel healthy again .. It took a long time to get back to square one and for the longest time I wasn't worried about my weight anymore but actually all the damage I did to my body.

    I just wanted to share this story with you guys that the cleanse.. was an easy weight loss.. but it doesn't last long..
    the side effects outweighs the benefits by a long run. If you guys want me to post pictures of the youtube videos I made a long the way I can do that... although it's kind of embarrassing :( Just trying to help as many people avoid this situation as possible. :noway:

    Yeah, giving your body essentially zero nutrition for the length of this "cleanse" is really a good idea. You'll lose skeletal muscle mass as your body breaks down muscle to keep your vital organs going, thus lowering your metabolism so you'll gain weight more easily after you're done. And once you start eating food again, you WILL gain back any thing that you lost.
