I tried it for 10 days. Its great for cleansing and makes you feel really healthy and light. Its a great way to sart a diet since your body is clean and you'll loose weight quickly with it, but you'll gain it right back if you stop. If you're gonna try it make sure you plan on eating healthy and excersicing after the cleanse to keep the weight off.0

If you do it for detox reason then go for it.
If you do it to lose weight, 5% of them can keep the weight off ...the rest gained the weight back.0 -
never tried it. i have heard that lemon juice can clean away cancer out of your colon and prostate.
Sadly, this is not true. If there was such a simple way to "clean away" cancer - no one would be dying of it.

Thank you for saying this in a much more diplomatic way than I ever could.0 -
When are people going to learn that there is NO fast and easy way to lose weight?!?! I've done this stupid junk before, the cabbage soup diet, and another "detoxing" diet where all I ate was green machine smoothies lol. I lost weight on all of them...but where am I now? BACK HERE TRYING TO LOSE THE WEIGHT AGAIN! And yes, I did eat healthy and exercise afterwards. Don't waste your time. Why be miserable if you're just going to most likely gain it all back? Just continue to eat right and exercise. You'll get there eventually. What's the rush?0

If you want to make your cleanse a little more "recreational", skip the commercial crap and take a two-week vacation to the third-world country of your choice and drink nothing but tap water. You'll cleanse *everything* out of your system. From both ends. At the same time. Very cathartic.0

Best cleansing program: eat a 1/2 pound of raw almonds, with a 1/2 pound of prunes. Your colon will be scraped clean by the almonds and the prunes will keep it from scraping your *kitten* on the way out.:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

The deal with this cleanse or any other juice cleanse is a mind over matter end result. Completing these cleanses help your mind's ability to just say no when the cleans is over. It is like a reset button for your mind and body. It helps strengthen the mind's will power when resuming regular healthy eating. You just put your body through hell. Every time your mind told your body "no, you can't have anything but what is on the restrictive diet", the mind's will power becomes stronger. It has helped me get my mind back on track when I begin to waver and start eating processed foods. I usually do the 48 hour hollywood diet. It does help me drop 6 lbs of water weight but it gets my mind prepared to take control of my eating. We can all agree Dieting is a process of self control and a good knowledge base of healthy clean eating, 80 percent food 20 percent exercise. Without a person having the correct mind set any diet attempted will probably fail. These crash diets or cleanses can be very productive if used with a springboard approach to a healthy diet regimen. It really does help you appreciate vegetables and plain chicken!!!!!!!!!!! Your taste buds are desensitized and the real taste of ungarnished food is fantastic!! However staying on these for more than a couple of days or so is a bad idea. The body does not store every nutrient and has to have a fresh daily supply. Females, did you know that if you are severely low on iron or potassium (as well as some other electrolytes) that you can literally give yourself a heart attack? no matter what your age or activity level?
Research anything and everything before you put your health in jeopardy because once the damage is done you cant go back.0 -
cleanses are useless. Your body cleanses itself

Just wondering if anyone has tried it and your thoughts on it
This sounds suspiciously like the "master cleanse"0
