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

this sounds dangerous and gross

 

[reardenstone]

I've heard that this is dangerous and a load of shit.

The last part may be the point of it.

 

[hadenough]

Well it doesn't really matter what you heard or what it sounds like, cause I feel like a million bucks. How are you feeling? Probably not as good as I am.

Sorry for responding to such pointless criticism, I just couldn't help it.

Not feeling well, personally, thanks for asking!

Ah wait. This was just to start some kind of "I'm better than you because I pooped out all my toxins" contest.

I see what you did there!

 

[dannno]

Is there anybody here who has any credibility (has done the diet per the instructions) who is willing to criticize the diet as "dangerous" or that it doesn't benefit one in the long-term?

Anybody?



Bueller??








Buelller???

I know I said this another way before, but within a couple weeks or so after the diet, I was waking up feeling like it was the middle of the day and I'd already had a couple cups of coffee (wasn't drinking coffee at the time) and I was starting work at 7am. I hate the morning, I have never been a morning person.. but I was much better at it for a while after the diet.

I am not aware of ANYTHING that can do this besides stimulants, and there were no stimulants involved. This is like the most ultimately healthy thing you can do and there are people coming in saying it is dangerous without researching it and telling us that there is no benefit without actually doing it.

Skepticism is healthy, but this is pretty ridiculous.

Well, I don't have any credibility, but I did the MC for 28 straight days last March/April.


I lost quiet a few pounds (some muscle too ). But it was worthwhile. I did not experience the big energy gain many seem to get.

I know a few people locally that swear by it.

I'm not one of the ones saying there's no benefit. I am, however, saying there is a world of difference between doing this for awhile and doing it for forty days. Somehow, that distinction seems lost on some. Doing this from time to time within the habit of a fairly healthy diet seems like a grand idea. It's not something I can do, personally, but all the best to those that do and get great health benefits from it. Saying this is perfectly okay to do for over a month is stretching it a bit, though, even by your own admission

 

[dannno]

Danke, why did you do it for 28 days?

How did you come off the diet?

Why 28 days? I donno, I did like seeing the pounds come off.


On the 29th day I celebrated with beer and popcorn, still celebrating actually.


Seriously though, well my regular diet isn't the greatest.

Ya you're supposed to come off with fruit juice the first day, then whole fruit and fruit juice the second day, raw fruit and veggies the third day, then by the 4th day you can do like a veggie soup or steamed veggies and fruit, then after that if you MUST eat meat you can start with chicken broth and veggies, then eventually move on to whole meat, dairy, eggs, etc, but the diet of course recommends organic vegan indefinitely, I'm not convinced that is the best option for every person.

Had you done the diet for 10-12 days and then came off properly and ate healthy for a couple months, you would have lost more weight than staying on the diet for a month then going back to a not very optimal diet.

I see what you did there!

I was just repaying kind with kind. Not my greatest moment.

Not feeling well? You should master cleanse!

That's why I'm doing it. My regular diet has been pretty much a "see food" diet. I've never gained much weight from it, but I knew there was some crap in there that needed to come out. I really don't mind looking a little thin either. After all, my belly wasn't what it used to be. Plenty of time to celebrate later.

Yeah, they say that breaking the fast is the most important part. I'm gonna eat alot of raw fruit and vegetables when I'm done. I still haven't lost all craving for junk food, but it has diminished significantly.

What you'll find when you come off the diet is that the raw fruits and veggies will be extremely satisfying, sort of like eating a steak before. That's when your body starts training itself about what is actually healthy and what isn't, which is a big reason why coming off the diet is so important like you said.

Thankfully I won't take you up on that. It'd be a charming way to end up in a coma, but at least my bowels would be clean.

Just the same as everything I choose to do isn't good for everyone, the things you choose may not be good for some.

Yes mother.

(I did read up before jumping in, jeez).

 

[hadenough]

you won't be tired like you want to sleep, more like relaxed like you want to meditate. I'm trying to think of a good analogy, but essentially it puts your body in a state where it is not demanding what it normally does.

I know exactly what you're talking about. In fact, I think the greatest benefit I've experienced with this is that I'm more........................at ease. Everything just flows and I just feel more peaceful. Like you said, like you want to meditate.

 

[hadenough]

Well I called it quits today. 21 days, feels good. Cooking some soup now and had the best glass of OJ in my life a few hours ago. I could have gone longer, but I felt it was time to end it. Besides, this is my first one, I gotta have a reasonable record to break next time. That soup smells so damn good, its going to be hard to wait till tomorrow to eat it.

 

[hadenough]

One more update. I weighed myself shortly after breaking the fast yesterday and I've lost 13 pounds. Down from 185 to 172. Then, last night, I couldn't resist food any longer and wound up eating a bowl of soup and munching on some other healthy foods. I was worried about having an upset stomach, but it never happened. Woke up early today feeling good. I hope it keeps up.
