So... I am thinking of doing the 'Master Cleanse'. It is 7-10 days of only lemon juice (That you squeeze yourself so it's fresh) mixed with maple syrup and cayenne pepper. I KNOW- it sounds terrible... but supposedly you get rid of all of your toxins and feel much healthier afterwards... not to mention you lose weight! I spoke to a few people who have done it and they say that they weight stays off and you just feel healthy and great once you are done.... so I am leaning towards giving it s shot- but I figured I would check here first to see if anyone else had any insite!!

Re: Master Cleanse
Ok I tried it for like 2 days and gave up! I was able to drink the 'lemonaid' but at night I had some veggies. By the third day I just gave up! You literally have to squeeze tonnns of lemons and you are supposed to do it fresh every time so it was a pain to do while I was at work. Not to mention everyone was asking what I was doing and why and it was annoying!
Anyway I'd love to try it again but feel I would need to take a week off and be in isolation or something bc all that pooping is no joke! After the salt water flush I went to the bathroom 3 times at work! Gross!
Ok my next tid bit of info is someone I know did it on and off for 30+ days and she lost a ton of weight and kept most of it off but mostly bc she started eating healthy and vegan and such.
Ok I think that's all for now. On another note...my DH did a cleanse where he ate only broccolli, brussel sprouts, etc for 7+ days and he felt great after and at least you can eat!
Good luck and let me know how it goes. Also that smooth move tea is scary - I had one cup and was doubled over on the bathroom floor for like an hour! Did that happen to anyone else?

YES Jen! DH drinks it all the time.But on me it had a really violent reaction. I was doubled over and in agonry for like 2 hours. I finally went but it was explosive. i tried ti againa few months later and same thing. not sure if its that you have to do it ALL the time and you're ok but I have major stomach issues anyway so i don't mess with it.
However, i find drinking regular herbal tea like the Celstial Seasonings type, helps me stay 'regular' if I have a cup once a day every day. Again though, due to stomach issues have to watch out for caffeine.

DH & I did it before Thanksgiving last year.
We had an AMAZING experience... For lack of a better term, I felt cleansed.. I can't describe it... After the 5th day I felt as though i can FEEL energy...
I plan on doing it again sometime soon.. and hopefully continue once a year or so..
I do NOT recommend you do this for weight loss.
If you have any questions, feel free to FM me.
Also--the weight does NOT stay off... Especialloy if you go back to your normal habits.. I lost about 10 pounds and it came RIGHT BACK on...
Its a good way to jump start a healthy lifestyle though... Not for everyone, but I definitely found it to be positive...

you should follow up the smooth move with a salt water flush. It's hard to drink the salt water b/c it tastes gross but it pushed EVERYTHING right out... and you feel much better (and cleaner! ahaha)
