Master Cleanse

Why would you want to do this?
It doesn't help weight loss. It can hurt your body.
You may lose in the beginning however you will gain it all back as soon as you stop. Unless there is a medical reason (given by a qualified doctor) for a cleanse or detox it is harmful and not healthy to do so.
When fed healthy foods, exercised and given enough water your body will naturally detox and cleanse itself. There are no toxins that magically get stored in your body.0 -

Your body conatins the organs and chemical processes needed to cleanse and detox. It doesn't need help.0

I wouldn't do this - my body already knows how to "cleanse" itself. I've read articles that said doing this can throw off the natural balance in your intestines and actually cause more harm than good. So, I'd be careful doing it. What's wrong with letting our bodies work the way they're supposed to? As long as you are going to the bathroom - you're cleansing stuff from your system.0

I have tried it and lost 10 pounds in 10 days! It was awesome. However, once I stopped I gained the 10 x2 more. I did not have a regular eating pattern. I gradually went back to eating but once I was back on solids it was over. It seemed as if my stomach grew and I could not stop eating. The cleanse does not teach or train how to eat afterwards. So my body had nothing to get use to as far as portion control.0

Thanks everyone.
I've got a fair amount of pros and cons and to conclude whether it'll be positive, I'll give it a try myself this "spring" break.
Will report back.0
