enlighten me-how to stay full during master cleanse.

I say to each his own! Good luck with your diet!

There is nothing wrong with doing a cleanse a few times a year.

There's nothing particularly good about it either.

friend 1) Did Modified MC for 12 days lost 25 lbs, then took a 60 day break and kept a 1200 calorie a day diet w/ 1/2 body wt water, and fiber lost 5 lbs in that 60 days, Did a round 2 of Modified MC for 10 days and lost 15 pounds. She has kept this weight off for 8 months now, and eats 1500 calories a day and workouts 1 hour 4 days week cardio/weight training

friend 2) just did 15 days of Modified MC and dropped 18 lbs and kept it off for 6 months. She also transitioned to a pescatarian after cleanse. She was ridding her body of meat..

And you truly feel like this is safe and healthy weight loss?

I have read a few threads on here with people asking about The Master Cleanse, and these people are crucified immediately. There will ALWAYS be people with someone negative to say about someone's lifestyle choices. And no, you do NOT always gain the weight back and it is not only water weight. My friend used The Master Cleanse to transition to vegan ism and has not gained her weight back. Who said they were living off of maple syrup and a lemonade drink? Ten days hardly equates to a whole lifetime.

If I want to fast then I will fast. A LOT of people fast, whether it to be for weight loss, detoxifying or spirituality. Fasting is not only about your body, food affects your mindset and your spirit. Some of you people who were once over-weight or obese must feel the need to crucify others and rudely question their motives, because you all of sudden think you're the know all on any subject dealing with our bodies. You're not. You were once trapped in a body you were unhappy with. The fact that some of you go on to say drinking a lemonade diet is stupid, but then suggest someone live off of fruits and vegetables is humorous. Sooo, our organs detoxify themselves properly enough, and waste does not accumulate over the years? Yes, our organs do detoxify our bodies, but there are foods you can eat/drink that also have detoxifying abilities.


If you don't like the Master Cleanse then don't do it, leave the questions to people who are supportive and not sarcastically making fun of those who want to learn. (: I'm positive if I knew any of you holier than thou people I could pin point a handful of things you're doing to yourself that is seriously questionable.

And for anyone picking a part my post, I meant it is NOT for the long run, but for astart to a new lifestyle.

It teaches you discipline, actually. Resisting cravings and hunger, you can more easily choose what to eat and how to eat. For a lot of people on MFP, it is not just a goal of weight loss. Their could be eating disorders and unhealthy relationships with foods they are trying to break. If an obese person can lose weight by doing it "the right way" then a "healthy" person with a habit they deem "unhealthy" can find a way to ween off of a lifestyle. Chill out with the judgement. Don't like it? Don't do it.

@KatieJane83 That is awesome that you've lost 66 lbs. For some, fasting is not for weight loss. Weight loss is just an added bonus. People say Ohh Boy, Delishh when they find out someone is a raw vegan, or choose to eat food from the garbage can because they don't believe in wasting food. To each their own. Your new weight loss doesn't give you the ability to throw sarcastic remarks at those who haven't had the same experiences as you. I loveeee herbal teas, so yes, it is DELISH. (:

The sarcasm is in full swing on this thread. There are more respectful members who can make their point without being condescending. I hope u find your answer.

Best way to stay full on a master cleanse........................................................................eat and don't do it. Understand that fads like this make money off people who WANT TO BELIEVE that it actually does something the body already does on it's on.

Papaya contains papain, which helps clear bad parasites from your gut. The seeds are particularly good for this. Juice for a couple days. What your body needs is nutrients, depriving it of this will lead nowhere good! Stay positive!
