I've been reading, it looks like you can lose about 2 pounds a day with this.

If you've wondered how movie stars can lose so much weight for roles then a lot of them have used the Master Cleanse.

Basically, you are on a liquid diet for X number of days.

A friend did it, called it training camp for anorexia.

I've read good and bad things about it. For me, the bad outweighed the good and I decided not to try it myself. I think the biggest deterrent was the effect if could have on your metabolism. Not quite worth it for a few pounds here and there. Also, a family member of mine who happens to be a naturopath strongly advised against any sort of medically unsupervised cleanse.

Did it a few years ago. I was very unhealthy lots of inflamation in my joints, bad skin, low energy etc... Inflamation really decreased most skin stuff cleared up, had alot of energy. It's tough. I think the grade B syrup would be hard to find in Korea. Grae B is no the same as the stuff you put on pancakes either!

Want to cleanse your system? Fast for a day on purple grapes, grape juice, and water. Don't do this as a diet though, too much strain on your heart.

i have done something similiar. imho, it is nice spiritual type thing to do on occassion: after those first 3 days, you feel so clear headed, uncluttered, etc, but it's not for weight loss. every lb you lose with the master cleanse, you eventually gain back.

Yea you will gain most of what you lose because alot of what you lose is water. This would definatley get you ready to start a diet and exercise program that would actually get you on the road to a better you.

Don't try to do any serious exercise while on the Master Cleanse.

Yes, famine is one way to lose weight.

Seriously, my sister-in-law used to swear by it, but not for losing weight--just purifying the system. I personally think it's a bunch of hooey, but knock yourself out.

I did it this summer, lasted 6 days, the headaches and diarrhea finally got to me. The full 10 day+ fast is not for the feint of heart!
