Master Cleanse Weight Loss
Jul 14th, 2007 by Raylen
A reader asked about gaining back the weight you lose on the master cleanse…
in your story you said you staved yourself and in return it “lowered my metabolism, so when I starting eating a “normal†diet I still ended up gaining weight†will i am doing the MC now and from my reading the MC does this to and you will gain atleast half the weight back is this true?
I think you’re talking about my experience with going on a long term starvation diet which I did gain the weight back when I started eating a normal diet. As long as you don’t plan on doing the master cleanse for a very long time (30+ days) your metabolisism shouldn’t be an issue.
As far as the wegiht you lose on the master cleanse as I’ve mentioned a few times on this blog and in my book the master cleanse is not a wegiht loss diet, it’s an all purpose health enhancer. While you can lose a lot of weight on the cleanse much of it will be water and internal waste. It’s simply not possiible to lose a large amount of fat in a short period of time.
If, and how much weight you gain back depends on what you do after you finish the cleanse. If you follow a light and healthy diet you can keep off most of the weight you lose. I’ve written a detailed post about diets to follow after the master cleanse.
That doesn’t mean you won’t lose weight on the master cleanse because you will, but the real weight loss beneifts come after the cleasne, and from the new healthy habits you’re likely to adopt after you finish the master cleanse.
I like the way the lemon diet aka master cleanse makes me feel. More energetic etc. Does anyone know, if its healthy to drink it on a regular basis instead of diet coke and other drinks? Is it okay to drink w/ healthy foods? Will I gain weight if I drink it along w/food? I really like the taste also, but just want to be sure I’m not making things worse.
I’m about to start a colon cleanse using this product called oxy-Powder. I’ve read online that colon cleansers promote weight loss, however, it is not loss of fat but rather loss of impacted fecal matter within your digestive system.
Have you tried using a colon cleanser in conjunction with your master cleanse?
I did the Master Lemon Cleanser (the original from Stanley Burrough’s book). I did it for 40 days, I lost 35 pounds. I have been off it for 6 months, and no weight gain! After reading Burrough’s book, and with my own experience, I have concluded that just because one may not eat solid food for a prolonged period, as long as the body is getting all the vitamins/minerals it needs, it has no reason to go to starvation mode; thus my energy level throughout the 40 days was astonishing! And I had the motivation to work out! My metabolism was reset w/ the cleanse. Now, I drink the lemonade daily from morning until my late afternoon/eve meal. I feel better and have far less need for supplementation.
I am 156 pouns now, i am looking foward losing a few pounds in one month.How much do you think I will lose if i start the Master Cleanser?
MY HUSBAND AND I DID THE MASTER CLEANSE FOR 10 DAYS. WE HAD JUICE AND LITE VEGGIE SOUP FOR THE NEXT 2 DAYS THEN BEGAN EATING LITE MEALS FOR A WEEK. WE EACH LOST 12 POUNDS. I LOST 6 INCHES IN MY WAIST. WE HAVE BEEN TAKING RAW PSYLLIUM FOR THE PAST 22 YEARS. WE DID NOT EXPERIENCE A VAST AMOUNT OF FECAL DEBRIE DURING THE CLEANSE. WE FELT GREAT. WE’VE BEEN OFF NOW FOR 8 WEEKS. NO WEIGHT GAIN.WE STILL FEEL GREAT. I WILL REPEAT THE CLEANSE FOR 5-10 DAYS SOON FOR FURTHER WEIGHT LOSS. MY HUSBAND DOES NOT NEED MORE LOSS.
THE TASTE OF THE LEMONADE CLEANSE IS GREAT.
THANKS FOR GETTING THIS INFO TO ME.
MAO
I’m doing the master cleanse but I’ve only done it for about 2 days. Haven’t really lost any fecal matter. I strongly believe I have about 16 pounds of fecal matter encrusted in my small intestine. What I would
like to know is how many days do you suppose till I begin losing a few pounds of fecal matter? Also, after how many days do you think I should stop the master cleanse?
just fyi.. i ordered the neera drink available online and it was absolutley awful!!! it made me very sick and have serious stomach pains. its some sort of knockoff of the master cleanse and i strongly suggest that NO ONE uses it.
I did the master cleanse for 21 days and had lost 16 pounds, then I just lost contorl and pigged out for 15 days causing me to gain back most of my weight, Im wondering if I start the cleanse again, would it still be as effective or not? since I did it before and am doing it 2 weeks after? Thanks
I WANTED TO KNOW IS THE JUICE SUPPOSED TO TASTE SWEET. WHILE DRINKING IT I HAD A SWEET TASTE AND AFTER I FINISHED IT I HAD A SPICY TASTE. IS THAT RIGHT?
Yes thats normal cause the cayenne pepper tends to sit at the bottom. The longer it sits they hotter it will be
