2. QUESTION:
   What is the Recipe for the Master Cleanse diet by the gallon?
   I am thinking about doing the Master Cleanse diet for 10 days to detox and drop some junk food weight that I know I have gained... I am going to be starting a diet of exercizing and eating right and I want to start fresh. Does anyone know what the recipe is to make this diet by the gallon so I can keep it in the fridge and not make it by the glass? N E help would be appreciated. THANX!

   • ANSWER:
     I don't recommend the master cleanse diet. Have you tried it before? I remember how last winter I wanted to do it for a week just for starters. The first day was so painful. I got such a bad headache and my breath got icky because I wasn't eating anything (did you know eating can actually help your breath to an extent?). I've read of other people complaining about the headaches and what not from doing that cleanse. I'd scratch it from your list of things to try because it's just not really worth it. If you want to clean out your system, try drinking senna teas like once (maybe even twice) every few weeks....much more effective.

3. QUESTION:
   Is it better to start the lemonade cleanse diet right after a normal diet, or slowly proceeding into it?
   I'm planning on starting the lemonade cleanse diet again (and make it last for more than four days this time!)
   & I was wondering, I've been eating a lot recently.

   Is it better to do like a water fast or a vegetable fast for two or three days, and then start the lemonade cleanse diet?

   or is it okay to just jump right into the lemonade diet ?
   personal opinions?

   • ANSWER:
     I wouldn't advice you to do any water fast or veggie fasting weight loss before you start out your lemonade cleanse diet. What i'm worried most is you are not getting enough nutrients and your poor gastric might not be able to take it.

     It would be much better if you start to consume a low fat diet ,cut down the intake of processed food e.g sausages and proceed to the lemonade diet right after. As far as most dieters are concerned,this diet plan will assist their body to expel the toxins ( it is known that such toxins in our bodies are the key factors for making us overweight)

4. QUESTION:
   What is the expected weightloss on the lemonade/master cleanse diet?
   I am on day 4 of the lemonade/master cleanse diet.
   I was just wondering if anyone has done this diet and how much weight they lost. For some reason I haven't lost anything yet and I am almost half way done. (10 day cleanse) I am kind of concerned.
   Thanks for any feedback.

   • ANSWER:
     I tried it. A lot of people from my work were on it and they said they lost a lot of weight. It was horrible. I tried it for I think 10-14 days (it was a while ago, i cant remember exactly). I lost 5 or 6 lbs on it, but it was not worth it to me-especially for what you have to do! I think maybe that the other people that I knew on it lost a lot more weight than me because they all had a lot more to lose than me. They were all very overweight. I am not, I do not have the much weight to lose, its more of a personal preference than a need. So I have heard it works, but I did not like it.

5. QUESTION:
   Can I exercise during the Master Cleanse diet?
   Hello. Im starting the master cleanse diet, but I dont know if i can do my regular excersise during the diet. I excersise aprox. 1hr every day. I will appreciate your respectful help. Thanks a lot.
   My mind is so clear and i want to do this diet, so my question is about excersising during this process not for another types of diets.

   • ANSWER:
     take it easy dnt lift weights and stuff if you want to work out to a light easy workout
     check out the website below it gives you a lot of info

6. QUESTION:
   How many of you done the master cleanse diet?
   Do you have to be on a diet while your on the master cleanse diet? Does it really work? On a scale of 1-10 what do you rate it? how much weight have you lose? is it fast? Do you still have to excercise? if i wanted to lose up to 25 pounds how long will i have to stay on it? thanks.

   • ANSWER:
     The main purpose of the Master Cleanse is not to lose weight but to detox. If you don't eat a healthy nutrient dense diet the master cleanse will not give you permanent weight loss. You will gain it all back. However the cleanse or any viable fasting program such as a water fast or juice fast will correct things like high blood pressure...

7. QUESTION:
   How do I do the Master Cleanse diet?
   I want to do it the right way and links that I can print out would be awesome. A master cleanse diet buddy wold be great too!
   Also any tips or success stories would be great!

   • ANSWER:
     Please do your research!!

     Stanley Burroughs, who created the Master Cleanse, was not a doctor. He was a quack, and people have died from his "treatments".

8. QUESTION:
   What are the normal side effects on a bowel cleanse diet/powder?
   I'm taking a bowel cleanse powder mixed with juice + a diet of fruit, veg, whole grains, nuts and legumes. The powder contains flax seed, apple pectin, bentonite clay, psyllium husk and seed, slippery elm, marshmallow root, fennel seed and activated willow charcoal. I feel mildly nauseous on and off through out the day usually about one hour after taking the powder and in the morning. My appetite has been abnormally poor since starting the diet. I'm on day 4 now, but I had this problem from day one.

   • ANSWER:
     Very often when people "detox" through a program like this bacteria and toxins are released from where they've been stored in the body and start to circulate. This is what is making you feel nauseous.
     Your body, as a self-preserving defense mechanism, shunts bacteria and toxins into fatty tissues to protect your major organs. Your detox program is working against the wisdom of your body and can be quite harmful to your well-being.
     If you eat a well-balanced diet, fresh meats, fruits and vegetables (stay away from bread, pasta, anything with sugar in it, esp. soft drinks, avoid fast, frozen, processed food) you will not only lose weight, but you'll also detox naturally without any special products or programs and save money at the same time.
     Bowel cleanses, colon cleanses, etc. are not necessary.
     Get some vitamin D3 and take 2,000 iu a day, and ascorbic acid (vitamin C) 1000 mg/3 times/day to boost your immune system.

9. QUESTION:
   How much water do you use in one glass of the master cleanse diet?
   im looking to start the master cleanse diet but i was wondering how much water you use in one glass of the master cleanse diet? i thought it was supposed to be half your body weight, but is this through out the diet or each day? or is it just 8 pints a day? also the salt water flush? what salt do you use?

   • ANSWER:
     Use a ten oz glass of water for a single serving. Or you can use 60 oz of water for a full days worth.
     And for the salt water flush use sea salt NOT table salt. Table salt will dehydrate you and can mess up your kidneys. People should stay away from table salt altogether.

10. QUESTION:
    How much Will I lose on the master cleanse diet?
    I am 5'5 and 137lbs. How much will i lose on the master cleanse diet if i do it for 10 days?
    Also do people usually gain the weight they lost on the diet back after the diet is over?

    • ANSWER:
      The master cleanse diet will not increase your metabolic rate of how fast your body burns fat cells. It will cleanse the problematic abdominal areas to where you may loose between 5 and 10 pounds, but not a significant amount of weight as if you were working out doing cardio exercising that is the only way to increase your heart rate to in turn increase your metabolism. I would not be upset with 137lbs at 5'5" but if you are looking to loose on average of 5 more pounds, the master cleanse will most likely do the trick. To be upfront, if you workout on lets say a stationery bicycle or on a treadmill doing cardio - it will only take 2 weeks at the very maximum to loose 5 lbs or more. Good luck.

11. QUESTION:
    Is the Master Cleanse Diet safe to use if your a working person?
    I know celebritys have lost weight with it, but im sure they have the time to do things alot of people do not. Has anybody tried the master cleanse diet? From the way i've read of it, it doesn't seem very safe to be on while your at work due to the fact all of the waste is passing.. i've even read you will pass gallstones, which has never happened to me but i hear they hurt badly. any feedback? Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      while your using it, it would be best to stay near a bathroom... preferably @ home unless you wanna shit in your pants lol

12. QUESTION:
    What type of lemon juice for the master cleanse diet?
    I want to do the master cleanse diet but would already squeezed lemon juice work for this diet?

    • ANSWER:
      Justina - Reads like "rocket scientist night" here on Yahoo tonight.
      I know you didn't ask whether you should or shouldn't but I will give you my opinion anyway.
      The master cleanse or starvation diet you are referring to is a calorie deficit program.
      You will lose a few pounds but when you start eating again you will probably gain more weight.
      The signal these starvation diets send the body is that there is no more food available.
      The body immediately stores any fat it can and begins to burn muscle mass for fuel not the stored fat (metabolism). Stored fat will be used as a last resort when needed.
      When you start eating again the body immediately stores any food as fat because it doesn't know when the next famine is coming.
      The complete opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.
      If you really want a healthy body for good drink lots of ice water, 100 oz per day. Eat a healthy breakfast to kick start the metabolism. Eat a snack every two hours if possible. Eat three good meals a day, the largest at lunch. No food after 8 p.m. Maybe plain popcorn air popped or cooked in canola oil only.
      You need to eat tons of fiber. It cleans the system hourly and accelerates the metabolism.
      Eat for health.
      Good luck.

13. QUESTION:
    Should a skinny person go on a fast or liver cleanse diet?
    I'm currently on a liver cleanse diet to hopefully remove toxins from my body but the problem is I am skinny. I lose weight easily and by removing many foods from my diet, I feel like I will lose a lot of weight. Should I even be on this diet?

    • ANSWER:
      Cleansing has absolutely no medical benefit and is in fact harmful to the digestive tract.
      There is no "build up" of bad plaque or sludge in a normal system. If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their bodies couldn't absorb nutrients.
      Since we reabsorb most of the water in our food and drink through the large intestine, If it was coated with "mucoid plaque", we would all be sloshing around like sponges yes?
      We "cleanse and detox" 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneys.
      We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and salt. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can be.
      Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
      Read food labels. If you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your body.
      Cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
      A high fiber diet works every time.
      Spend your money in the produce department instead of giving it away.

14. QUESTION:
    Acai berry and colon cleanse diet. How frequent do you take these pills and how much? They dont really specify?
    I have taken an interest in the Acai berry and colon cleanse diet. I recieved both bottles and they both say take two capsules a day but not whether I should take them together, or through out the day. The only really thing I know for certain is not at night! Now I work out 3 to 4 times a week and hoping this will help on my pursuit to a healthy life. Does anyone with some back ground in this have any ideas?

    • ANSWER:
      Seriously this sh!t does not work, just drink plenty of water healthy eating and regular exercise. Get a wii fit, and purchase mario olympics its a wicked work out and its fun too

15. QUESTION:
    How do I make the drink for The Master Cleanse diet?
    How do I make the drink for the master cleanse diet? What are some results that people have had? I am not doing this for weight loss, but to lose a few pounds would be great. I want to clean out my system, since I recently quit smoking. Does anyone have success stories doing this diet? Thanks

    • ANSWER:
      One thing that will help you lose weight: a colon cleanse. I was one of those who did not believe in them until I tried it. And I tried a few until I found a great one that works (its all natural too! - it's just pills, but you'll detox, lose weight, and fell much, much better). You can go to

    • ANSWER:

17. QUESTION:
    what are tips for the master cleanse diet?
    I want to do the master cleanse diet aka lemonaid diet. But I wondererd when your done with the diet does the wieght come back fast or does it stay off. Any recomendations or experiemces would be great!

    • ANSWER:
      One tip, don't do it in the first place.
      As it is classified under alternative medicine, anyone with a hint of intelligence should be skeptical of it, and under further investigation, realize that nothing of what it has claimed can be accomplished other than the obvious, short-lived weight loss.

18. QUESTION:
    Can you take advil or any other pain relief pill during the master cleanse diet?
    I am going to start the lemonade or master cleanse diet. I can tolerate the headaches can I take pain relief pill any time I have headache during the diet?
    can I stop it before 10 days if it gets too difficult for me?
    also if any one has any helpful advise about the diet I appreciate that.

    • ANSWER:
      Yes you could take pain relief for a headache.
      I haven't tried (nor would I do) the Master cleanse, all I can offer is a link with information and posts from people who have.

19. QUESTION:
    Do you really need to use a laxative or sea salt when doing the master cleanse diet?
    I am about to try the master cleanse diet but I am not looking forward to the laxative, herbal tea or sea salt drink at night. Is it absolutely necessary?
    If so what what brand of tea did you use?

    • ANSWER:
      Yes it is necessary, it's either that or an enema.

      For teas, Super Dieter's Tea or Smooth Move Tea by Traditional are the most common and easiest to find. But any senna based tea will do. I do not find it necessary to do both the sea salt drink and the laxative tea, one or the other is fine. And you probably won't have to use it every day, by day 3 or 4, you really should have flushed everything out of you colon. This is gross, but when only liquid is coming out, you can ditch the laxative.

20. QUESTION:
    Has anyone tried the Master Cleanse diet that Beyonce did and was successful at losing your desired weight?
    I'm starting the diet today in an effort to lose about 20lbs in 10 days. I just want to hear more success stories other than just reports of Beyonce's success with it. For those of you who don't know, the Master Cleanse diet consists of just drinking a mixture of fresh lemon juice, grade b maple syrup and cayenne pepper. Supposedly after drinking this alone for 10 days, you will receive optimal results.

    • ANSWER:

21. QUESTION:
    How much weight could be lost on a 10 day "Master cleanse" diet?
    How much weight could be lost on a 10 day Master cleanse diet for someone who weights 80 kg/176lbs. I asked the same question for a water fast (drinking only water).
    My goal is to cleanse/detox my body and lose weight (fat and water, since you rarely lose fat without water weight).

    Thanks ahead.

    • ANSWER:
      your body needs neither cleansing nor detoxing, and fasting will make you put on weight even faster as soon as you stop. Of course if you don't stop fasting you will die. 'water weight' is nonsense.

      no 'cleanses', no 'water fasts', no pills, quack remedies, magic spells. If you actually want to be thinner, you need to eat less, eat healthily and move more. There are no quick fixes but there are a lot of scams and a lot of ways to make things worse.

      think how you got like this - what do you eat? How much exercise do you do? Do you use quack remedies?

      you know what you have to do.

24. QUESTION:

25. QUESTION:
    Anyone here ever done the Master Cleanse Diet?
    Ok I know that this is supposed to be a "cleanse" and not a "diet" but I am planning to try it for the purpose of losing weight. I'm getting married in 6 weeks and I want to drop some weight before then. I only plan to do it for 10 days and then do a low cal diet and exercise after that. I want to know how much weight I should expect to lose while on the diet and if the Grade B syrup is a must. Can you use regular syrup and still lose weight??? Thanx.

    • ANSWER:
      My wife recently went through the exact same plan you're talking about, with only a few exceptions that I think will help make your dieting process much less painful and the results that much more noticeable.

      1. The Master Cleanse diet usually results in the loss of 10-20 pounds, depending on how rigorously you adhere to the plan.
      2. The Grade B syrup is a must - in fact, I actually recommend doubling the amount - it'll increase results substantially.
      3. Usually regular syrup is still acceptable for losing weight - what my wife did was use about 2.5 times the amount of the syrup and she still had much more control over her dieting. Just make sure not to go overboard.

26. QUESTION:
    Can you use normal breakfast maple syrup for the Master Cleanse Diet?
    I am going to try a new diet, called the Master Cleanse Diet, and was wondering if it was ok to use normal pancake syrup or it is completely a no no. Do help, and share some tips if you were on this diet!!!

    • ANSWER:
      Try the Lemonade weight Loss Diet - It's the master cleanse but in a pill form! You don't have to fast and you can lose 5, 10, up to 17 pounds.

27. QUESTION:
    how much water do you use in one glass of the master cleanse diet?
    im looking to start the master cleanse diet but i was wondering how much water you use in one glass of the master cleanse diet? i thought it was supposed to be half your body weight, but is this through out the diet or each day? or is it just 8 pints a day? also the salt water flush? what salt do you use?

    • ANSWER:
      Use a ten oz glass of water for a single serving. Or you can use 60 oz of water for a full days worth.
      But before you do the Master Cleanse make sure you are ready to go 10 days without food. You might want to try a easier fast first. I'm preparing for the MC myself and I just did a fruit and vegetable fast for 5 days and it was a little tough. Have you ever fasted before?

28. QUESTION:
    What exactly is the Master Cleanse Diet?
    What exactly is the Master Cleanse Diet? & What would you have to do on it?

    • ANSWER:
      also known as the lemonade diet, it is a diet where you eat no food. All you do is drink a mixture of pure lemon juice, water, cayenne pepper and maple syrup for a number of days. Normally, you would drink several litres of this mixture per day. Its recommended that you do this for at least 7 days, but preferably more.

      The intent of the diet is to remove 'toxins' from your body that are stored in your adipose (fat) tissue. These 'toxins' are normally environmental contaminants, food preservatives, etc, basically any chemical that we are exposed to, of which there are hundreds of thousands likely.

29. QUESTION:
    Are there any diets similar to the Master Cleanse (Lemonade Diet) that do the same thing?
    I am looking for a diet that will help me lose weight quickly, and I know the master cleanse diet will, but I don't think I can drink only that for 10+ days.

    Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      A good healthy diet high in fiber, lean meats, eggs, complex carbohydrates, whole grains, antioxidant foods, healthy beverages and low in added sugar and salt help people lose weight, gain weight, lower cholesterol, increase energy, improve brain function, lower blood pressure, reduce cancer risk, heart disease and stroke risk, and have a more positive lifestyle!
      You need to eat a lot more food and a lot more fiber!
      Diets that exclude foods from any food group are fad diets and do not lead to permanent weight loss or solve any other health issues.
      First, try to kick your fiber intake to 40 grams of both soluble and insoluble fiber.
      Whatever you do, get your fiber from your food, not from a jar.
      Fruits and vegetables have good fiber in them.
      Try a breakfast cereal with at least 20% of recommended daily allowance of fiber in it. They are usually low in sugar so there is a double benefit. Blueberries or raspberries on top add more fiber and antioxidants. But fresh or frozen, not the kind in syrup.
      Raw nuts are a great source of fiber, healthy fats, and antioxidants. Avocados are the best.
      Lots of beans, peas, and grains are high fiber. Whole grain breads. Fiber kicks up the metabolism so you actually burn more calories. These foods will give you more gas in the beginning but if eaten daily, the bacteria in the digestive tract will elevate lowering the gas output.
      This will get you on the path for a healthy daily bowel movement. This helps clean the system and aids healthy digestion.
      I know it goes against everything you've heard but eating lots of the right foods will actually help you lose weight!
      Next, take a basic daily multivitamin. Don't look at your multivitamin as nutrition but more as an insurance policy. Think of it as filling in the gaps in your daily diet as opposed to a primary source of nutrients. If you are a woman, you may want a plus iron formula.
      Last, you HAVE to drink lots of water to be healthy. But you can disguise it. Fill your glass all the way full with ice before pouring low sugar beverages. Try iced green tea with a splash of orange juice in it for sweet. More antioxidants. Add lemon juice to water for flavor. Slice up a cucumber and float it in pitcher of water. Gives it salty fresh taste. But you must drink up to 100 oz of water daily to help your body get rid of waste and the toxins it contains.
      You must combine a healthy diet with exercise to multiply the benefit. Whether an hour a day in the weight room or just a 30 minute brisk walk every day, the added benefit of a regular exercise program really do increase and accelerate healthy weight loss.
      You will get motivated when the changes start happening, I promise.
      Good luck.

30. QUESTION:
    how many pounds would i use on the master cleanse diet?
    okay i weigh 140 pounds, how much would i lose if i went on the master cleanse diet ?
    you guys don't help, but also how much water and salt for the salt water cleanse?

    • ANSWER:
      It depends on how overweight you are to begin with, but on average people lose 2 lbs a day on the Master Cleanse (for the full 10 days). Currently I'm doing the Master Cleanse and I am on Day 9. So far I've lost 13 lbs. I plan on doing the Master Cleanse for 12 or 13 days.

      For the salt water flush, it's 2 level-teaspoons of NON-IONIDIZED sea salt in 1 quart of water (4 cups). Teaspoons, not tablespoons (many pple accidentally think it's tablespoons). Non-Ionidized sea salt will make it easier to drink. You have to drink it as fast as you can. For me, it gave me a gag reflex. I did it for a few days and had to stop. An alternative to the salt water flush is to take the laxative tea instead, which is what I am now doing.

      Good luck!

31. QUESTION:
    what is the best cleanse diet for aprox 3 days?
    id like to lose as much as possible in 3-5 days. through a cleanse. i've heard of the lemonade diet. some citrus diet with cayenne pepper. etc. please help!

    • ANSWER:
      The only weight that you will lose will be water weight that you will gain back once you sip anything.

      The only thing a cleanse diet (jeez, just call it what it REALLY is, which is the laxative diet) will do is keep you within ten feet of your bathroom.

34. QUESTION:
    Master cleanse diet and alot of excersize?
    Okay so tomorrow im getting a gym pass and im also goin to start the Master cleanse diet, also known as the lemon detox or Cayenne pepper diet. But anyways, so im planning on doin that along with 2-3 hours at the gym a day. I think it sounds great, but could there be any problems? (im healthy as far as i know of lol)

    • ANSWER:
      too many calories burned for the amount your consuming.

      too few calories for what you want to do at the gym.

35. QUESTION:
    If I were to do a fruit cleanse diet, what kinds of fruits would I eat?
    I need to know exactly what I would eat and at what times in order to do a fruit cleanse diet. Someone suggested that I should try it, but I just need the details on it. Thanks!

    • ANSWER:
      You'll mostly be losing water weight, mind you. Not a whole lot of fat, if any, and more muscle mass than fat at that rate, too. And more than anything you'll probably end up binging at the end of two days. Eh. That's just a precaution, though. To answer your question..

      ..Fruits with lots of fiber are key. Apples [dur], bananas, berries, oranges, citrus fruit in general [probably icky to eat without yogurt or at least Splenda], and kiwis. These all have about 100 calories per piece of fruit. For others that are higher calorie, try avocados (about 350 per large one), dried fruit (400 per cup, all types) and mangos (200 per mango). Melon doesnt have much but water, but its ultra low calorie [50 calories per cup for all kinds!] and ridiculously delicious.

      best of luck

36. QUESTION:
    how to prepare Master cleanse diet and here to buy?
    Hhat do i need to do in rder to prepare the master cleanse diet, where can i buy the goods? tesco?where?

    How much do ou think that i will spend nd how man KG can i lose?

    • ANSWER:
      The Master Cleanse has been getting a lot of attention lately as a was to lose weight fast. Most people who go on the Master Cleanse do lose weight. Many lose a lot of weight, as much as 20 pounds.
      Much of the weight lost while on the Master Cleanse is fecal matter that has built up over the years inside your body. You will also lose water weight while on the cleanse.
      It is important to know that the Master Cleanse is essentially a fast of sorts. It does provide you with all the nutrients you need to be healthy and be energized, but at the same time it is not a long term diet and it would be unhealthy to use it similar to, say, the Atkins diet. The Master Cleanse is a short term, usually 10 days, fast that is meant to only be done periodically.
      Because the Master Cleanse is a fast, there will be some pretty drastic weight loss initially. The weight loss surprises many people and scares some into quitting early. However, it is important to note that the Master Cleanse will not cause you to lose weight unhealthily. Yes, it will promote healthy fat loss. There will be a few pounds of fat shed on the diet, this is good.
      But do know that the Master Cleanse is not designed to use as a weight loss diet. That is not its intention at all. It promotes health, and it will promote the loss of fat, but the Master Cleanse is a detoxification diet.
      The Master Cleanse, used appropriately, and in the right intervals, is extremely healthy and will help to cleanse your body. But the majority of the year you will not be on the Master Cleanse and during these times it is important to practice good eating habits.
      The Real Weight Loss Comes After You Finish The Master Cleanse
      What the Master Cleanse does do in the long run in terms of weight loss is promote craving control. The Master Cleanse requires much discipline in the first place, a valuable lesson to learn since controlling cravings is all about discipline, and the nutrition being taken in during the Master Cleanse also promotes craving control. This is greatly to your advantage.
      By using the Master Cleanse, you will be better able to control your cravings even when you are not on the Master Cleanse, allowing you to be able to cut those pounds and be healthier throughout the year.
      By having a good diet program and watching what you eat you will be able to lose weight successfully, keep it off, and promote more health benefits even when you are not actively on the Master Cleanse.
      I don't think you can buy it in the UK not in Tesco's thats for sure

37. QUESTION:
    Best diet cleanse to kickoff a healthy diet for weightloss?
    I want to start eating healthier, exercising more, and loose weight. I want to try a cleanse or detox to kick off my diet, any suggestions on ones that have worked? If so, what were your results?

    • ANSWER:
      Thecleanse diet will not increase your metabolic rate of how fast your body burns fat cells. It will cleanse the problematic abdominal areas to where you may loose between 5 and 10 pounds, but not a significant amount of weight as if you were working out doing cardio exercising that is the only way to increase your heart rate to in turn increase your metabolism. the cleanse will most likely do the trick. To be upfront, if you workout on lets say a stationery bicycle or on a treadmill doing cardio - it will only take 2 weeks at the very maximum to loose 5 lbs or more. Good luck.and if you need any more help check out my diet blog .

38. QUESTION:
    Has anyone experienced night sweats during a diet cleanse?
    I recently started a cleansing diet which includes a lot of green juices and I now have been experiencing night sweats. I am only 31 so no menopause.... could this be related?

    • ANSWER:
      Cleansing or detoxing have absolutely no medical benefit and are in fact harmful to the digestive system.
      There is no build up of bad plaque or sludge in a normal system.
      If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their bodies couldn't absorb nutrients.
      We reabsorb most of the water we drink and from our food in the colon. If the colon wall is coated with toxins like these con artists try to sell, we would all be sloshing around like sponges right?
      We "cleanse and detox" 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneys.
      We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and salt. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can be.
      Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
      Read food labels. If you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your body.
      Colon cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
      Search gut flora to learn about the beneficial bacteria we need in our colon.
      They don't tell you about the gas, cramping, and bloating you will experience when you start eating again and the body has to rebuild this bacteria population.
      Some of these con artists have perfected a formula for coagulating your waste to make it look like the gross pictures they present, not to do anything else.
      Spend your money in the produce department instead of giving it away.

40. QUESTION:
    does anybody know how to do the master cleanse diet?
    I was wondering if anyone can give me step by step in how to do the master cleanse diet!

    • ANSWER:
      I honestly wouldn't recommend it.
      I tried it and lasted three days. Worst three days of my life.
      And it also tastes so bad. Barf.
      But I suppose if you want to do it, no one can stop you.
      What you need is:
      60 oz water per day (or 10 oz per glass)
      12 tablespoons Organic Grade B Maple Syrup (or 2 tbsp. per glass)
      12 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice (or 2 tbsp. per glass)
      a little over half a teaspoon of cayenne pepper (or 1/10 tsp. per glass) or to taste

      And every morning you have to mix a bit of salt with water and drink it.
      and every night you have to have a cup of a herbal laxative tea.
      Don't do it to lose weight, thats not what it is meant for.. it is after all a "detox" diet.

41. QUESTION:
    I'm on the master cleanse diet and have a few questions?
    I started the lemon master cleanse yesterday, so I'm on day 2. And, I wanted to know if anyone has ever done it? And, how many days before they noticed a difference on the scale and in the mirror? I also have done the salt water flush both nights as
    Well. I plan on continuing the diet for 8 more days.

    • ANSWER:
      I'm currently doing it - I'm on day 10 at the moment. I weighed myself today and I've lost 10 pounds or 4.5 kilos in 10 days.

      You should do the salt water flush first thing in the morning - before drinking anything and you should have a herbal laxative tea in the evening. If you don't like the swf you can instead drink the laxative tea in the morning as well as in the evening.

      I'm doing it for 21 days. Good luck with it. Day 3 was the hardest day for me. It does get easier, stick with it. Make sure you also drink plenty of water in addition to the lemon drink.

42. QUESTION:
    Can I do the lemonade cleanse/diet without the whole laxatives deal?
    I had an allergic reaction to a laxative (senoside) not too long ago. I really want to do this cleanse/diet for both the reasons of cleansing my body and losing the few pounds that come with it. So i guess my question isn't if I can do it without it but if theres an alternative. Thanks....

    • ANSWER:
      The formula for losing those excess pounds is easy - consume less food and workout more often - the issues surface when we actually try to put that into operation! There are a lot of stumbling blocks out there aren't there?! I found some good help by reading the website in the box below, they have a lot of tips, I worked off 5 pounds by following their helpful advice.

43. QUESTION:
    Can you exercise on the master cleanse diet?
    I would like to exercise on while on the master cleanse diet so I can lose weight quicker, but if it will mess things up then I'd rather not. I was really only thinking about doing 30 minutes on an exercise bike. This is my first day on the diet and I feel good so far..

    • ANSWER:
      Page 31 of the Master Cleanse book states to avoid any vigorous activity.

      Your body is taxed enough on the Master Cleanse. You will feel depleted as your body starts to purge the waste from your body. Don't push the body any further by engaging in strenuous activities.

      It is ok and advisable to do light exercising such as walking or stretching, just avoid any high impact stuff.

44. QUESTION:
    Some questions on the Master cleanse diet?
    I am wanting to begin the master cleanse diet --i know, not real healthy-- but i just wanted to see if anyone else had done it..if so is it really needed to drink the sea-salt in the morning and the tea at night...some say so and some dont. I'm really doing this for the weight not the cleansing. Also what type of water do i use for my lemonade drink? no tap? and is it okay to drink just PLAIN water throughout the day? What kind for that to? If you did do this, what brands of stuff did you use? and what type of lemon juice did you use. Thanks so much!

    • ANSWER:
      it might be best if you bought the book ... that way you can get the full benefits of this cleanse ... its NOT A DIET!!!

      the sea salt flushes are to cleanse ... it is neccessary because in the morning you want to rinse whatever is in the digestive system out .
      the tea in the evening is an aide to the sea salt flush because it helps loosen compacted materials in the colon and intestinal tract.

      tea loosens + sea salt flushes = cleaner and healthier you ..

      its best to do this when you have your morning free ...

      Fresh lemons.. not bottled juice ..not frozen concentrate... FRESH !!!!
      You can alternate between bottled water and the "lemonade" during the day ... tap water isnt good for this invest in bottled water ...

45. QUESTION:
    what are you suppossed to eat/drink after the "master cleanse diet?"?
    im going to try the diet/cleanse, im wondering though what are you supposed to do after day ten? i think i read raw veggies and fruits. but i also read somewhere to drink orange juice? And what type of water do you use?

    • ANSWER:
      First of all reconsider the master cleanse. It is totally unnecessary.
      Liquid bowel movements are a messy side effect. Going 10 days without food, plus consuming only a minimal amount of nutrients (given the drink’s ingredients) can add unnecessary stress on the body and potentially put health at risk.
      Colon cleansing is known to disrupt the balance between natural enzymes and bacteria in the digestive tract. Medical professionals believe that the colon is completely self-sufficient.
      "Anyone interested in detoxifying their body might think about paying a little more attention to their body and less attention to the people trying to get their money. The body already has nature's most effective detoxification system. It's called the liver. The liver changes the chemical structure of foreign compounds so they can be filtered out of the blood by the kidneys, which then excrete them in the urine."

46. QUESTION:
    Need help with Master cleanse diet program?

    • ANSWER:

      It's a dangerous con. Dont do it.

47. QUESTION:

    • ANSWER:
      what ive heard yes it does work...

48. QUESTION:
    Does the Master Cleanse Diet actually work?
    I'm 13 and was looking for diets that would work. One that popped up was the Master Cleanse. Does it work? Are there any bad side effects? What would be the best laxative to use?

    • ANSWER:
      You are really just looking at a painful and drawn out way to empty your entire digestive tract.
      The lemon detox/master cleanse diet you are referring to is a calorie deficit program.
      You will lose weight on this diet. The average adult American has eight meals in their digestive system. Five more than they should. By going on a deficit diet like this you can lose around 10 pounds just by not eating. But it is only the weight of the food in your digestive system.
      So it does work. but it does not change your size. Pour the soda out of a bottle and the shape of the bottle doesn't change does it? Once you start eating again you just replace all the missing food in the system.
      The signal these starvation diets send the body is that there is no more food available. The body immediately stores any fat it can and begins to convert muscle and even organ tissue first for fuel instead of the stored fat. Stored fat will be used as a last resort when needed. The complete opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.
      There is no build up of bad plaque, toxins, or sludge in a normal, reasonably healthy system.
      If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their small intestines couldn't absorb nutrients.
      The majority of the water from food and what we drink is reabsorbed through the colon, if our colons were clogged we would all be walking around looking like sponges right?
      Detoxing is ridding the system - liver, kidneys, and intestines of toxins both internal and environmental. Our liver and kidneys aren't clogged with toxins. Otherwise we would be dead. The liver does in fact get layered with fat if we become overweight.
      Additionally, many toxins are stored in our fat cells so in order to truly "detox", you need to lose excess body fat as well.
      We "cleanse and detox" naturally 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneys.
      We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and salt. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can be.
      Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
      Read food labels. If you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your body.
      A healthy high fiber diet works every time.
      Increases the speed and efficiency of the digestive system and helps the body rid itself of both internal and environmental toxins.
      Cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
      Search "gut flora" to learn about the beneficial bacteria we need in our colon.
      We have more beneficial bacteria in our digestive systems than all the cells in our bodies!
      Did you know the digestive system is one of the largest contributors to our immune system?
      They don't tell you about the gas, cramping, and bloating you will experience when you start eating again and the body has to rebuild this bacteria population.
      Spend your money in the produce department.
      Good luck.

49. QUESTION:
    The acai and colon cleanse diet supplements?
    has anyone tried the acai max and colon cleanse diet supplements? Do they really work?
    Does it work for weightloss?

    • ANSWER:

50. QUESTION:
    will the master cleanse diet slow down my metabolism?
    i want to do the master cleanse diet because i heard its good for health and to wash out the wastes in your body. but i was wondering if it slows down your metabolism since its not a diet which allows me to eat a lot. i only want to do it for 5 days (if i can even last that long). has anybody tried it?
    and what do you do when your hungry?
    thank you!

    • ANSWER:
      Rachel -
      You need to research this a lot more based on your statement:
      "I heard its good for health and to wash out the wastes in your body."
      You are confusing cleansing and detoxing in their current definitions.
      Cleansing and detoxing have absolutely no medical benefit and is in fact harmful to the digestive tract.
      There is no "build up" of bad plaque or sludge in a normal system. If this was the case we would have people dying left and right from malnutrition since their bodies couldn't absorb nutrients.
      We "cleanse and detox" 24 hours a day through respiration, sweat, liver, and kidneys.
      Colon cleanses actually flush out the beneficial bacteria and enzymes in the digestive system.
      These con artists have perfected a formula for coagulating your waste to make it look like the gross pictures they present, not to do anything else.
      The master cleanse or starvation diet you are referring to is a calorie deficit program.
      You will lose a few pounds but when you start eating again you will probably gain more weight.
      The signal these starvation diets send the body is that there is no more food available.
      The body immediately stores any fat it can and begins to burn muscle mass for fuel (catabolism), not the stored fat (metabolism). Stored fat will be used as a last resort when needed.
      When you start eating again the body immediately stores any food as fat because it doesn't know when the next famine is coming.
      The complete opposite of what you are trying to accomplish.
      We can help by eating a healthy diet with minimal added sugar and salt. Lots of fresh fruit, vegetables, whole grain foods, beans, peas, and brown rice keep a system as healthy as it can be.
      Minimal alcohol, caffeine, soda.
      Read food labels. If you can't pronounce it, don't put it in your body.
      If you really want to lose some weight for good drink lots of ice water, 100 oz per day.
      Eat a healthy breakfast to kick start the metabolism.
      Eat a snack every two hours if possible. Eat three good meals a day, the largest at lunch.
      No food after 8 p.m. Maybe plain popcorn air popped or cooked in canola oil only.
      You need to eat tons of fiber. It cleans the system hourly and accelerates the metabolism.
      Eat to lose!
      Good luck
