Master Cleanse! aka Lemonade Diet .. My 30 day story.

No. just...no.

Poop buildup?? The only poop buildup you'd ever have is from constipation. I'd like to see all this "medical research" claiming this to be true.

Thank you for sharing!!

I had gone through the same thing years ago, I've done every diet in the world, and I finally found balance I've gained muscle & lost inches. It takes time but when it comes to your body it's so worth it.

I tried the Master Cleanse a few years back for 11 days and lost about 17 pounds. It took a long time for me to gain it back, but yeah, I gained it back and then some. But I also went back to my old bad eating habits.

Lost 17 pounds of what in 11 days?

And of course you went back to your old eating habits. It isn't like you could continue your new eating habits of consuming this "cleanse" long-term...given the certainty of eventual death from it.

Did you read the actual 'Master Cleanser' book? They tell you exactly how to eat the days after the cleanse so that you don't have the issues you seemed to face when you did it. And, it's not a diet; remember that. It's about cleaning out the system. Note to everyone when you start a new eating and/or exercise plan to research it fully before doing it.

A cleanse is just how it sounds. To CLEANSE and detoxify the body of built up toxins and chemicals. Things like the master cleanse are not by any means for losing weight. Anybody who tries to lose weight by doing a cleanse is a fool. You may lose weight during but I can guarantee that weight will come right back after you get off of it.

Name one. Just one. Please?

You seem knowledgeable about cleanses and detoxifying so you can surely name a toxin that is removed from the body during a cleanse that isn't otherwise removed from the body while eating food, right?

I'm eagerly awaiting your reply.

Me too.

*sigh*

I am reminded that I thought that this thread was going to be the one where I finally found the answer to my question.

Alas, it was not to be.



And so, my quest continues...

Nice job jollying people again

Awww are you following me?

Yeah, even I noticed she purposefully singled you out in at least 2 threads now within a short time. That's pretty disturbing.

Just happened to be on the forum more tonight and saw both posts, What's disturbing is not AT LEAST having an open mind

Sorry to the OP for answering this, but I feel the need to point out that his response was to someone who was blatantly insulting the OP. I don't see how that was bullying or incorrect in regards to pointing out that it was against the CG. Saying we should have an open mind while other people are called idiots and then throwing around the word bully, really seems hypocritical in this situation.

You want people to have an open mind about consuming nothing but saltwater and lemonade?

NO.

No I would never do that BUT I have no right to be mean to someone for doing so. Haven't we all made questionable decisions?

Calling people idiots isn't helping anyone

Agreed. Someone called the OP an idiot. And MrM27 called them out on it.

So why is he the bully again?

MrM didn't call that poster an idiot. That poster called the OP an idiot.

Never said he said that what I said was calling someone an idiot wasn't helping anyone

Although that's true, throwing around the term bully isn't helping anyone either. It's actually demeaning to those who were/are bullied. And going around singling out someone to call them a bully in various threads is harassment.
