Fasting vs The Master Cleanse
Oct 27th, 2007 by Raylen
A lot of times the Master Cleanse gets a bad rap because people assume it’s like a traditional fast where you don’t provide your body with any calories. They believe that because you’re not eating anything when you do the Master Cleanse that you are starving yourself.
They’re right about not eating anything, but they couldn’t be more wrong about a person starving them self when they do the Master Cleanse.
The truth is the lemonade you drink on the cleanse is fairly high in calories. Thanks primarily to the grade b maple syrup each serving of lemonade is around 110 calories. With most people drinking between 8-12 glasses of lemonade a day that’s 880-1320 calories a day. It’s restrictive, but it’s not exactly starving.
