Today I got a question from Marie, who’s been doing the Master Cleanse for 6 days and still hasn’t lost any weight.
so I am on day 6 of TMC…I have yet to loose a pound and am becoming a bit discouraged..everything I am reading is saying how everyone has lost weight but I do not know when I should start seeing results..any advice???
I know it can be frustrating to go on the master cleanse and not see any weight loss. I’ve written a blog post about this that you might find helpful The Master Cleanse and Weight Loss.

NO! DO NOT USE Grade A syrup. But I think you have figured that out by now.

Hi everybody. I am on day 2 of the MC and I woke up today so swollen and puffy. I realized I didn’t drink much water yesterday but just did the lax tea, SWF and lemonade all day. So today I’m drinking more water and I hope to see some type of weight loss soon. I was surprised that I didn’t see any weight loss at all after eating nothing. But instead I gained water weight. Amber, thank you for reminding me that I can do whatever I want to do but that the plan has been designed to work and by following it I will see results. Also, thanks for reminding me that there are people who will not eat today, tomorrow or any time soon. Thanks for the motivations
Robyn, the truth is you can do anything you want! It is your body, this is just a detox that has been explained to you and made this way for a simple reason, It works! If you want to modify it to fit your lifestyle by all means do it, but if you want significant results and serious cleansing of your body you will follow the plan exactly how it is written out for you. I completed 6 days of the master cleanse and lost a total of 12lbs when I was on a plateau and couldn’t lose any weight. I felt 100 times better after the cleanse and can’t wait to start it tomorrow! My advice to you would be do not eat anything if you can, It’s only 6-10 days and many people starving in other countries don’t even eat that often. Good luck.
Hi Raylen, I set goal to do the MC for 3 days. Yes, I completed them. I did eat a grapefruit when I felt I couldn’t go without something on day 2. Today is day 4 and I decided instead of not doing the cleanse anymore, that I would do the partial one you stated could be done. So, I would like to eat breakfast, use MC for lunch and eat dinner. Is this okay? Can I eat 2 meals this soon or should I follow the fruits & veggie getting of the cleanse routine and then go to this method. I’m confused! Also, how much of the MC Lemonade should I consume for the one meal? I had some broth this morning and rye crackers. I haven’t eaten or consumed anything else. Please help me!
By the way, I have more energy today, then any of the 3 past.
Hi. I’ve read somewhere on your website that I can take wheatgrass for protein while on the Lemonade diet. I just want to ask, are there any other substitutes for wheatgrass? Can I take kefir instead? I don’t know where to post my question so I just posted it here. Thank you very much.
