The most common questions I get on this blog are about the master cleanse and weight loss so I thought I would take a minute and answer some of those today. If the master cleanse is something you would like to try I would encourage you to sign up for my free newsletter at the bottom of this post, when you do I’ll email you a free guide for doing the master cleanse.
I was going through these blogs. Suddenly a question came in my mind…I want to try MC specifically for the weight loss..but one of the blogs says that it is temporary.we really need to work out to loose weight.is it a reality that the weight loss is temporary in this case as i am not fatty i just want to loose weight from hip and the waist line as i have developed flabs….so please help.

While you can lose a significant amount of weight on the master cleanse, and keep most of it off (you’ll gain back some water weight) the real weight loss benefits come after you finish the master cleanse. Most people will find that they no longer consume as much food as they did prior to the master cleanse, and the food they do crave is usually much healthier.
Here’s some more info on losing weight after the master cleanse
Next we have a reader who wants to accomplish the opposite. They want to know how to do the master cleanse without losing weight:
I am interested in the cleanse for removal of toxins and NOT for weight. loss. I have always been thin with a high metabolism. I don’t want to lose wt. is the master cleanse still for me? I am worried about doing it for 10 days straight, not only for convenience factors but because my metabolism is unusual and i don’t want to lose weight or wind up feeling faint, etc., especially when I’m working.
This is a good question that doesn’t get talked about much. Here’s a post I made that will help you do the master cleanse without losing too much weight

I try to buy the the e-book but all links are not working how can I order?
I really want to use “Smart Water” to make my lemonade. It’s going to be so convenient. What’s wrong with electrolytes? I’m not ready to purchase a water filter as yet, and I don’t trust the “filtered” bottled water. Is the pitcher filter that can be purchased at Sears (I’ve forgotten the name) okay to use initially until I work out w/my husband what, if any, water filter he’d like to install for our family? Thanks.
thanks for the advice
I have already done the 10 day cleansing now I want to do the lemonade diet for weight loss, I am going to try replacing lunch with the lemonade, do I only drink the lemonade or do I need to take laxative teas or the Hoodia? Thanks
My husband and I are serious about doing the 10 day cleanse for continued health reasons as we age, and I know my husband will most likely continue for the weight loss. My crazy question…I work 8:00 am to 5:00 pm, Monday through Friday. Will there be days in the beginning that I need to be home (near restroom facilities) and not at the office??? That is my biggest concern at this time…
I’m on my 4th day of the cleanse and i haven’t lost any weight at all.its my 1st time doing this and i eased myself into the cleanse as advised in the book.i drink 7 cups of lemonade,2 litres of water and salt flushes twice daily.
Im doing this as a kick start to a diet therefore weight loss is very important.
Did anyone else experience this.help pls
today is tuesday and i plan on starting MC tomorrow (wed). Sat i have plans to go away and feel alittle akward going to eat w/ friends and not ordering . Although I know 10 days is suggested , if i eat senseably just for one day and then continue w MC Sun will I still get desired results?
i want know about price of slimmming, just in 10 day also packages.
can u mail to me now?..because i look very fatty…and i need to lose my weight immeditly.thank you.
The Dr Max Powers “15 Day Cleanse” flatten my stomach and I am convinced helped me lose more weight even when I wasnt eating perfectly(stupid schwarma). Seven pounds in two weeks (tomorrow is my last day) is pretty darn good if you ask me. It’s inexpensive which is also a plus.
Not everything you lose will be pure fat because thats not what this does it gets rid of the toxins,excess water and bloat and make your body run more efficiently which then makes it easier for to lose weight. I will definitely try the Dr Max 15 Day Cleanse again in 6 months. . .
Hi, I am on day 4 of the MC now, I allowed myself some raw vegetables on day 1 and day 2, day 3 I ate less… I own a small business and have to work a lot so I could not allow myself to completely nuts without food. I noticed on day 3 I actually was full from half a salad of raw vegetables and lemon juice. Now I am on day 4 and I feel like I am not remotely losing weight. Is it because I have been eating the vegetables? Although I heard that Beyonce ate vegetables when she did hers. I feel like my face is particularly bloated. Also note that I just got my period so I am also suffering from Menstrual symptoms.
I don’t like lemonade at all. Can I use Limes or Oranges instead.
Day one in the master cleanse and I’m pretty exited and this will be my first cleanse ever!! So here it goes my journey with my first cleanse!!! I do have a question, I’m a regular runner so I’m wondering can I continue running or should I stop working out during the master cleanse??
Looking forward to your feedback! ?
Because I don’t have time to squeeze the lemons in the morning, can I use a Lemon Juice Squeeze Bottle Sicilia ? It’s not a concentrate and contains no sugar.
Loosing weight & detoxing with Master Cleanse
I started the cleanse 5 days ago lost 10 pounds,had a dentist appointment now im on prescription pills so i stop the cleanse .Sould i stay on the cleanse and take the pills at the same time?
I’m about to start the cleanse however I am concerened. How do you stay strong enough or not pass out etc from lack of food? I mean its if i dont eat i get dizzy and sick.. How do you guys feel when doing the 30-40 day cleanse?
why doesn’t anyone answer these questions from the comment section?
Hey, I read alot about the master cleanse, and today is my first day trying it out, well actually i didnt buy a water filter, but i am using gallons of bottled water, hoping thats ok! and also i bought the epsom salt to use as my laxative. im going to try that out tonight to see if it flushes everything out.
Hi i jus started the Master Cleanse today. I already drank my first glass of the Lemonade this morning, then I drank a 1 glass of water with 1 tblspoon of Epsom salt. Honestly it tasted soo bad! I thought I was going to throw up… But I couldnt find the Sea Salt yesterday in the store so I just used the epsom salt, I read somewhere that it is as effective. So far its been 20 mins and i havent had any scary bowel Movements. Now I am about to drink my second glass of the lemonade. I also have this Trim-Maxx Tea that is a laxative tea! should I drink that tonight, if the epsom salt doesnt work? Please let me know. Im really trying to be on the right level to achieve the cleansing and weightloss.

CAN A RUNNER CONTINUE TO RUN ON THE MASTER CLEANSE DIET?
I started this diet about two weeks ago and I am shedding wieght. I’ll be honest. I drink 16 oz for breakfast, 16 oz for lunch and dinner . I graze during the day on mint tea. I have to eat so I have steamed leafy vegetables and 16 oz of the lemonade for dinner. I watch my sugar intake so I subtracted the maple syrup. I am losing about a pound a 3 pounds week a day I am excited. Not hungry at all I am commited untill my goal weight is reached.
I’m thinking about doing the cleanse because I always, always eat shitty junky food. I know my body will be so happy getting rid of toxic and chemical. Sigh… I don’t know if I can stay on this diet for 3 days…. I tried this like 4 years ago but able to stay on it only….8 hours…how sad is that?! I remembered being sooo hungry that I was shaking. Any suggestions?
To vegan…if you are eating ANYTHING…you are NOT doing a cleanse. NO food should be used for this to be effective.
I am going out to the kitchen after I write to you to make up my first” brew”. I have many health issues and need to lose a lot of weight. This plan seems to be the best one I have heard of. I just gained 15 pounds on the Akins diet . Yes GAINED!! I ate too many fats . Now I am ready to do it your way. I plan to email you in a week to let you know of the fant astic results I will have received!!
My girlfriend and I just started the cleanse today. We are striving for 3-4 days but hope to complete the 10. Any suggestions?

well i have done everything i am suspose to do so far. still motivated but i dont understand why i keep reading different things that people are dong and im so lost! i cant afford to buy the book so i am just going off what i have read online. i havent used the bathroom at all and i have done everything to a T! we shall see
Started the MC this morning. Made my morning portion last night… i think the cayenne marinating in the lemon juice, water and syrop has made it hotter than it really should be. I suggest to everyone trying this to only put in the cayenne right before you start drinking it… and don’t put too much in, you’ll choke!
I’m doing okay as far as hunger goes. Although it’s hard because I go get coffee for my bosses and work downtown near lots of restuarants… not fun! I just remind myself of my goals every time i see food. I’m only doing a three day cleanse to see how it works (and because maple syrop is SO expensive!)
Good luck to everyone, stay positive and don’t loose sight of your goals!
It sure doesn’t sound like the majority of people are having much luck with this! I’m reading through the blogs and many are saying they haven’t lost weight, haven’t experienced the elimination, gag on the salt-water laxatives… doesn’t sound too promising.
I was just trying to research this diet to see by what premise it would work. Lemon juice? Maple syrup? Cayenne pepper? What magic does this combination offer? I would think any diet that forces starvation for a period of ten days is going to be a success if you stick to it. The problem is, you will gain it all back (and more) as soon as you’re off the diet.
I’m not so sure about this one…. sounds like another one with the cabbage soup from long ago I recall….
