What’s a good exercise regimen to boost your metabolism during and, especially, after the master cleanse. I know this can be googled but I feel it should be something on this blog. Even I would like to know what you would suggest after having read a lot about the subject. I am a cook and I will surely be transitioning back to my regular diet (I lost my sweet tooth but I still eat butter like it’s water and I eat lots of organic meats). I surely need to get my metabolism real high before I return to my old diet. FYI (I’m cleansing to cleanse [not to lose weight])

Evan July 19, 2007 at 8:58 pm

This isn’t really a question. I thought it may be helpful to people though. Drinking 6 glasses a day is only about 650 calories. That will slow down your metabolism and make it more likely for you to gain weight back quickly after the cleanse. If you want a diet of 1200 calories drink 11 glasses a day (1183 calories.. close enough). That should stop your metabolism from slowing down. Its 100 calories for 2 tablespoons of Now Organic Grade B syrup and its 61 calories for a cup of raw lemon juice from fresh squeezing (51-54 calories for store bought juice). Thats 16 tablespoons in a cup. One glass of the master cleanse mix is 107.625 calories (to the t). I hope you post this. I’d recommend 11 glasses a day. Doing six glasses and temporarily losing weight (you will most likely gain back) is a risk. If you don’t get your metabolism back up it could really suck. Furthermore, if you drink 11 glasses than you wont have to worry so much about eating food you used to because they will affect you in the same way (they will still make you fatter but they wont make you fatter than before as opposed to the outcome you would have if your metabolism was severely compromised)… TO THE MODERATOR.. Edit this all you want. I think you ought to put the the calories per glass info and information on maintaining your present metabolism. Take care.

I did the cleanse for the first time & did it for 5 days only as I’m going out of town. I have 2 questions:
1. Can fish be re-introduced sooner than chicken as it seems to be easier to digest?
2. Can soy, rice or almond milk be re-introduced sooner than dairy products?

Thanks!

I would like to know if it’s okay to start master cleansing the same time you start your period?

This is my tenth day on the diet, and I have been following religiously, no cheating, other than I may not be drinking all I need to drink. I have trouble eliminating after drinking the salt water, and I am drinking it with a tsp.+. Also, this morning when I got on the scale, it said I went up, not down, and it’s a pretty reliable scale. What’s up with that? I almost want to quit and just gorge myself-how defeating.

Raylen,

I am a professional web/graphic designer, and I think you would do better at making a stronger impression on people if you updated the look of your website. If you want to talk about redesigning the site with me, I will be happy to help. My fees are very reasonable, and I think it would do you (and the reputation of Master Cleanse) a world of good.

Let me know what you think.

Sincerely,
Rebecca

Hello, I have got gallstones since doing the Master Cleanse. I am in a lot of pain and awaiting an operation. I am only 32, fit and healthy. I did the MC to improve my health and get rid of my toxins and now I am much worse off. Why is there not a warning of some sorts on your website? People are being misinformed and risking their health. I wonder how many other people are suffering like me due to the MC????????? Amanda

jenell Mitchell August 3, 2007 at 9:38 pm

Anonymous August 4, 2007 at 8:53 am

I would like to buy your books in hard or soft cover. I do not want to download them. How do I do this?

Amy Miller August 5, 2007 at 10:28 am

Hey Ryan, I already bought the first book, wil you replace it with the new one?

Phyllis Ginn August 6, 2007 at 9:03 am

Can I order the hardcopy of the Master Cleanse booklets instead of downloading them?

victoria August 7, 2007 at 3:30 pm

Two weeks ago I finished my 10 days master cleanse fast.
I feel wonderfool.
And I want ot do it again.
How long should I wait to go on for 10 day again?

Debbie August 8, 2007 at 7:46 pm

Hi Raylen

I have done the cleanse twice and it is wonderful, I have omited the salt flush though so I know that I did not get the optimum result. The warm salt water is grosse, I vomited uncontrolably when I tried it so hence my not doing it. Is that ok or is there a substitute???

Beverly Wright August 11, 2007 at 2:48 pm

I started the Master Cleasne but I had to drop out because of Interstitial Cystitis ( a bladdr disease) Looking at my diet sheet it stated that Maple Syrup affect by bladder. Is there some other type of syrup that I can use.

Sherrie Ramon August 22, 2007 at 7:13 am

really do want to start the Master Cleanse but before I do I have a couple of questions.

I just found out that I am boarder line diabetic. Is this detox safe for me? The Dr. told me I need to loose 30 lbs and exercise or I will become full diabetic. I have changed my diet dramatically and have been walking on the tread mill, bowflex ect. I have done this for 3 weeks now. I have only lost 5 lbs. Not sure what else to do. I want to detox but I need to make sure it will not have a lasting effect on me. Do you have any suggestions?

Karen September 1, 2007 at 9:50 am

Is there anything you can nibble on while your doing the fast? I find that at night time around 6 or 7 I get really hungry?

Ted September 1, 2007 at 11:11 am

I am on my 6th day and feel wonderful! I have already lost 18 pounds! I am a bodybuilder and have never detoxed and wanted to get ripped and it is working. I have lost 1.5 inches in my waist and my stomach has flattened out. I am recommending the Master Cleance wholeheartedly. Only 4 more days and I can eat a hamburger!

Ted September 1, 2007 at 11:12 am

I meant to add that I am diabetic and my blood sugar is fantastic and I have not had to take any insulin during the past 6 days.

Al September 1, 2007 at 11:45 am

Hello,
Do you have any suggestions for using Master Cleanser for people with Liver Cancer?

Becky September 2, 2007 at 2:52 am

How does smoking effect this cleanse? It would be a triple whammy to stop eating, quit caffiene and smoking all at once.

Uyen Tran September 6, 2007 at 11:00 am

I was wondering if I could have a printed copy of the guide shipped to me instead of dowloading it onto my computer.

Joleen September 8, 2007 at 9:28 am

Four questions please.

1 Can one use it for longer then 10 days.
2 Must one not eat at all whilst on the diet.
3 What exactly can I eat whilst on the diet.
4 Can one use it after the cleansing, meaning can I eat after for example the 10 days of using it and drink it in between in other words drink it rather then have coffee or coldrinks

Bryan Burdick September 26, 2007 at 1:51 pm

You recently sent a message giving a link to show a short video on doing the master cleanse. My computer brought up the page, but would not show the video. Maybe there was an error with my connection to the site, or my computer could not display the video. Could you please resend that message with the link? Maybe I will have better luck the second time around.

mary September 29, 2007 at 2:41 pm

hi!
do i have to use the herbal laxative while in the diet? or is it an option?
would i get the same results if i didnt???

Bev Shiells October 4, 2007 at 11:25 am

Hi Raylen,
I have just purchased your Master Cleanse Secrets Guide which I have downloaded, however the bonus books did not download. I have included my email address – perhaps you can send me a link to download the bonus material, yes?
I will let you know how I go on the Master Cleanser.
Thank you.

JC October 4, 2007 at 2:02 pm

Hi
I wanted to know if your pregnant and wanted to lose excess weight as well as other conditions that are presented during pregnancy would your cleanse be safe. I only ask because I read that the product in a small amount could be given to a newborn. I do stand corrected if I read it wrong.

jackie October 4, 2007 at 4:35 pm

i have 5 other people living in my house,,my 3 kids and a hubby and a roomate,,so i was just wondering how i can do this cleanse successfully being i can’t exactly kick my kids and everyone else out 2 eat!!! so i was just wondering what i can do bout this,,i’m sure other people have this problem as well!!! thanks so very much

David October 15, 2007 at 1:23 pm

My goal is to maximize my detox as well as maximize my reduction.

I am on day 6 of my MC.

I have been doing the 2 teaspoons Celtic sea salt with 32 ounce spring water SWF every morning and one cup of smooth move tea every night. I have been drinking 6 glasses with 2 tablespoons of organic lime juice with some pulp and 2 tablespoons of organic grade B maple syrup and 1/8 teaspoon of organic cayenne pepper powder. I have also been drinking an additional 96 ounces of water daily.

Am I better off drinking 6 glasses with 2 tablespoons maple or 12 glasses with one tablespoon maple (keeping the 2 tablespoons lime and 1/8 teaspoon cayenne per glass constant)?

For best health/detox/reduction results is it better to drink:

Option 1. 6 glasses with 2 tablespoons maple
Option 2. 12 glasses with 2 tablespoons maple
Option 3. 6 glasses with 1 tablespoon maple
Option 4. 12 glasses with 1 tablespoon maple
Do you have a better combination?

Thanks for your help.

David

Gwen December 3, 2007 at 10:40 pm

Dear Raylen,

My husband and I purchased the Master Cleanse book from Whole Foods Store this weekend. We’re extremely excited about the program.

However, I have a question, my husband’s Diabetic insulin dependent, I wanted to confirm if the Cleanse is safe for Diabetics??

Regards,

Gwen~

debra. December 15, 2007 at 10:08 am

what about prescription pain killers.if you order your book can you get the hard cover and all the other books in the mail instead of down loading them it ends up costing a lot more if we do the work of printing and putting together our selves.and why would you not have them printed and ready to send to people who trust you and what you are saying..no one want to purchase a book they can not get delivered in book form

Ernie December 16, 2007 at 11:38 pm

Hi, i’m on my first day of the master cleanser. I could not find the required grade b maple syrup. however i’m currently using a 100% maple syrup which is organic. Is this okay? Also, what can I do to maximise my weight loss?

Thank you

jess January 4, 2008 at 12:14 am

Iris January 4, 2008 at 10:57 am

I wanted to know if I can exercise regurlaly during the time I’m on the master cleanse? Thank you

Val January 4, 2008 at 6:33 pm

glenna January 5, 2008 at 1:01 pm

i am on hbp meds, can i do the mc or do i have to stop taking my medications?

Brenda January 6, 2008 at 1:00 pm

I started my first cleanse 5 days ago, and so far so good (7 pounds lighter). I have downloaded your free information and found it, along with the information on your website, to be very helpful. I would also like to buy and download the books. When I click on the links nothing happens. I’ve tried enabling cookies at the highest level, and allowing popups.

I do have a suggestion for your site. Perhaps a specific link for reporting web problems would be helpful.

Thanks!
Brenda

Hi

Bud K. From California January 7, 2008 at 12:39 am

Hi
I have “Bad” Fibromyalgia, with chronic fatigue, irritable bowel, TMJ, depression, chronic lower back pain and more. I am taking Oxycodone, Methadone, Lyrica, and Diclofenac. The instructions with the Lyrica state not to suddenly stop taking the meds, and I have tried to stop with the narcotic pain meds before – with very bad withdrawals (I have been on the pain meds for about 8 years). How will these meds affect the ‘cleanse’? I can’t eat pepper because of the irritable bowel so will the cayenne pepper affect me the same way?
Sincerely needing help… Bud
