Anyone tried the "lemonade diet/cleanse" ?

I've tried it. DO NOT DO IT!!!

Especially if you have to leave the house at all in those 10 days.

You will shoot fire from your butt and you cannot trust a fart. Seriously your *kitten* will be very angry with you.

Sorry I cannot put it delicately but my god you will seriously be glued to the toilet for those 10 days.

Not to mention the crankies. I was such a mean person my mother tried to force feed me food so I would stop being such a *****.

I have tried this- NOT worth the weight loss (which is mostly water). I second what everyone else has said. First and foremost, this is not a "detox" at all because your body naturally detoxifies by simply eliminating waste. Secondly and equally important...the weight will come right back on as soon as you maintain a normal diet.

Yes lots of people tried it. Silly them.

damnit you just made my lemonade shoot out my nose, that hurt.
And now I have to clean my monitor

I have done this and it is very harsh. Try BeachBody's Ultimate Rest. It is a cleanse without being drastic.

Just wondering .. I've looked it up and a lot of people talk about 10-20 pounds in 2 weeks time ..
Just wondering if anyone has tried it and your thoughts on it

It isn't good for you to lose that much weight in a short amount of time. It's water weight for one, and there are lotsa conflicting studies out there about the detriments of losing weight quickly... one that I have consistently seen on here is loose, saggy skin!

Change your lifestyle. This is not a temporary thing you are doing to lose weight, this is a lifestyle change that you are doing for your health- and weight loss will naturally happen between 1 and 2 pounds per week. We didn't gain the weight overnight, and we cannot expect to lose it overnight.

All the best to you!

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.

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.

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?

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.

Isn't that called the Guadalajara diet plan? Comes with a nice tan and a hangover.

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.

This sounds suspiciously like the "master cleanse"
