I'll join!!! I started it last week, but only lasted a day b/c of my schedule (oh yea, and i like to EAT)! However, Friday is my first day of Spring break (woohoo!), so I"ll be off all week and as long as I dont' keep food in the house I won't be tempted to eat! I may only go for 7 days though, cause I just don't know if I can turn down easter dinner!

The Master Cleanse isn't meant to be a weight loss...only to cleanse the system of gunk and waste that builds up in our systems. I have done it 3x in the past 10 years and didn't lose an ounce on it but i felt fabulous afterwards. If not done properly, it can be dangerous so please follow the directions if you try it. You can still exercise while on this cleanse and many will lose weight but it isn't designed for that specifically.
It has been around for a long time. You must use the proper ingredients too or it doesn't work right.
For instance, you must use fresh lemons and not the concentrate and you must use the grade B maple syrup. These 2 items are not easy to find so i have to go to a health food store to find them. I don't get the lemons to squeeze but I buy the fresh squeezed organiic 100% lemon juice only found in the health food stores. I also tried the limes but that tasted nasty to me

Just read the instructions and follow it to the letter. Coming off of the MC is also very important and must be done correctly.
It is just like anything else, it must be done correctly or it isn't worth doing at all as you are just defeating the whole purpose.
The book/information is all free online. just google Master Cleanser.
Good luck to all that are going to try it.

p.s. THere are 2 threads going simultaniously about this so i have posted this on both now.

I'm actually starting tomorrow.

I forgot that a group of us girls at work are supposed to take a co-worker out to lunch today (to celebrate her getting engaged). So tomorrow is it for me!!

What the heck is a Master Cleanse? I see someone listed ingredients....it sure doens't look like a milk shake. Is it a recipe? Do you drink it one day? Or longer? Is it to clean your system or is it a diet. It sounds kinda yuckie....

When I read the heading in the post I thought maybe you were talking like Spring Cleaning (of the house) which sounds yuckie too!

Then there's the master cleanse, otherwise known as the lemonade diet: water mixed with maple syrup, lemon juice and cayenne pepper.

Beyonce admitted following it for two weeks to drop one-and-a-half stone for the film Dreamgirls,
and Jared Leto used it to shed the two stone he'd gained to play Mark Chapman in the film Chapter 27.

Gunnar Peterson calls it the "You're an idiot" diet.
"I had a client who did it and I thought he was ill," says Peterson.

"His skin was grey and his eyes had terrible dark circles under them.
He was shuffling when he walked, and this was after only ten days!"

Ask yourself --- Would you do this to your dog???

~Yorkie~Mommy~ · 03-17-2008, 05:27 AM

I heard that this was terribly bad!

but I have to admit I did try it a few years ago and by a few days in I was gagging everytime I would try and FORCE the drink down

but personally I COULD NOT do it again.

I appreciate your opinion. I have done this cleanse about 6 times with AMAZING results. During the cleanse itself, I always have such an incredible amount of energy and I just feel overall so healthy. I think everyone is different and it is a case by case scenario. Some people (like me, my hubby and several of my friends) do fabulous on this cleanse while others can't do it.

I'm actually starting the cleanse today because I had a busy weekend and went out to eat a lot. Bad Jenny lolol So I'm starting today!! Yay!!

lolol I admit it's an acquired taste. I personally don't LOVE the taste myself lol

and I absolutely must drink is ICE COLD. It's taste gross when it's warm.

SladesMommy · 03-17-2008, 05:34 AM

I just can't do the SWF. It makes me gag lolol So I just do the Smooth Move tea twice a day. I know the SWF is supposed to be really good for you but I just can't bring myself to do it. I did it once and it nearly killed me lol
