Master Cleanse (maple syrup, lemon/lime juice, red pepper & water)

do i have to do the salt water flush thing if im only doing this for 10 days? and does it help with acne? i dont have a serious problem or anything, but it's still an inconvenience.

Wow, this is a completely ignorant statement.

First of all, you CAN live on this diet. Grade B and C maple syrup contain all the nutrients one needs to live. The diet typically only lasts 10 days, but you could easily go a lot longer like the OP.

Second of all, most of the weight you lose is not fat, but the shit that has built up in your intestines over your life time. Cleaning out all of this material not only fires up your metabolism so that you can burn real weight with ease once you go off the diet, but it also releases a lot of the toxins, parasites and bad bacteria that have been rotting in your intestines. This gives you significantly more energy, like you're a kid again. This diet is the fountain of youth, and your dumbass says you can't live on it?!! It's 10 days!! You could fast for 10 days safely, I'll bet, with just some water!!

I've read your posts from some other threads, I really suggest you think through your posts logically before posting, because they are mostly completely illogical.

No, you can't live on this diet. You can exist for a short while. Nonetheless, no protein for 10 days is still a bad, unhealthy idea. There are plenty of other "cleanse" programs out there to waste your time and money on without such a draconian-- and frankly completely stupid-- dietary intake. Like the aforementioned raw foo diets. And as a bonus, you will hopefully learn healthier eat habbits so you wont ever have the need for a "cleanse", which the fast majority of resolably healthy people have no need of anyway.



I know most of the weight isn't fat. It's mostly water weight and lean body mass. Your body NEEDS protein. If you do not get it, the body will start to canabalize the other muscles in your body, including vital organs. Your body is perfectly adept at taking care of all those mostly bogus things you listed, but your body doesn't do too hot afterwards when at some point you have to start eating real food. I can bet anyone who is on this diet for more than 2 weeks will have severe "issues" after going off it, since they will have killed most good gut flora off. Frankly, I don't care what you do, but I do care if you are preaching it to others who may be foolish enough to believe everything they read.

You might read plenty but understand little.

HAH!

First of all it is supposed to be a 10 day diet, not a 2 week diet. The OP extended his because he is older and really got into it. Our bodies are quite resilient, people fast for long periods of time and it is quite cleansing.

Second of all Grade B and C maple syrup contain all of the minerals, vitamins and amino acids you need for the period of the diet. You probably can't live on it forever, but it's perfectly healthy for a period of time.

Third of all, you are supposed to kill your gut flora off. You are supposed to clear out all of your intestines. The weight you lose is not "water weight" it is the crap in your intestines. I'm telling you that you have about 10 pounds of crap in your intestines, trust me, it's there, and this diet gets it out of your system. That crap includes a lot of parasites and toxins which your body is glad to get rid of. You put the flora back into your stomach when you go off the diet, by drinking juice for a couple of days, then moving onto fruit, then vegetables and slowly working your way back to a raw vegan or whatever kind of diet you want. I know plenty of people who have done the raw vegan diet and are in great health, probably better than you.

Look, this diet gives you energy like you can't imagine when you're done with it. I've experienced it, so I know that everything you are saying is BS. You don't have a clue what you're talking about because you're not open to new ideas.

The salt flushes probably just help make the diet more effective. It certainly won't make your acne worse, I would venture to guess it would help because you won't be craving all the crappy food that causes acne.

you mean a raw-foodist can't eat grilled steak? :(

You can easily convert to vegan/vegetarian after this diet because your body will be re-trained in how to crave nutrition. You might like it better.

You could probably go back to steak, though, if you wanted to. I still have red meat 2 or 3 times a year, no issue. If I get injured and there is good surf on the horizon I'll go to in-n-out and order up a double double on the spot, then I also use joint pro lotion and super cissus Rx and my injuries heal up extremely quickly.

B and C are the same in the US, apparently.

You don't have to worry about a gal bladder attack doing the 10 day lemonade diet. The OP went for several weeks and I believe he said he has lived a long life with a horrible diet and is trying to reverse some of it by really going for it.

thanks alot bro.

also, i just turned twenty one. ive read you and some other people say it is perfect for older people. i assume that nothing but good can come out of it (for a ten day period) so i guess its a good idea to start young :)

also, i do fast during the month of Ramadan, where i eat a small meal early in the morning and break the following fast in the evening. how would you say master cleanse compares to something like that? i do feel lots of energy after i get off that "plan" (lol), but that effect does fade away after awhile.

oh, and i can't give up meat, it's just a part of my culture haha. but i also love fruits, so i have no problem with giving them more prominence in my diet. so, is it acceptable for me to eat steak that is grilled, where a chunk of the fat is melted off? same with any other meat? i assume fish is okay.

oh and i always drink about 2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar a day. is this good in maintaining a cleansed body?

and what about breads?

again, thanks a lot, oh wise one :)

I think it takes much longer than from morning to late evening to get into a fast. You're breaking the fast before it ever gets started. That 12 or 14 hours of whatever just gets you good and hungry. Do not equate this with a fast. Please do not accept any of this as medical advice.

ramadan fasting is a fast of the mind and spirit, not just body. and it does help cleanse the body, but obviously not as efficiently as the mc diet.

Fasting is safe, and it can cleanse the body of some toxins, but it's not necessary for cleansing. And fasting will never remove heavy metals from your body, neither will a raw food diet.

So, fasting really isn't the way to go. Improving one's diet and cleansing with herbs is the best option.

I can agree with that, one hundred percent. Herbs + Fasting, and you will live FOREVER

Oh. I meant whether it was okay for someone going on a raw food diet to eat cooked meat lol I like meat, I can't give it up.


Oh, and can anyone tell me how many lemons I would need to buy for a ten day? I'm going to go grocery shopping soon so I'd like to know!
