Another good question was posted on the blog about exercising while on the Master Cleanse:
I started the fast and lasted 54 hours but blew it by being near the refrigerator full of food. I will try it again tomorrow. I am 57 years old and I run a few times a week, does anyone know if this could be dangerous to over exercise while on the cleansing fast?
Thanks, Mike
When you do the Master Cleanse a lot of waste that was previously trapt inside your body will be circulating around as the cleansing process starts to work.
This takes a toll on your body, and is a big reason you get aches and feel fatigued while doing the master cleanse. Doing vigorous exercise will only put more stress on your body.
I would avoid intense cardio workouts and weight lifting while doing the cleanse, especially if you’re doing it for 10+ days.
This doesn’t mean you should stay welded to the couch. It’s good to move around, just don’t push yourself too hard. I like to go for a walk or a light jog, do yoga, and ride my bike when I’m on the master cleanse.
Keep in mind that what one person considers an intense workout might be effortless to another. So if you’re a experienced runner going for a jog while you’re on the cleanse should be fine, but if you’re out of shape jogging might be too much for you to handle.
There is no one rule that fits every person when it comes to exercising and the master cleanse. Just remember to pay attention to your body, and don’t push yourself too hard.

I’m starting the master cleanse tomorrow morning and I want to make sure I do this right, I’m hoping to loose 20 pounds in 10 days. Is it ok to drink green tea in the mornings about a half hour after the salt water flush? and would laxative pills have the same effect as the laxative tea?
Thanks!

I finally start the mc tomorrow and I am ready and excitied!!! LEts hope I get great outcomes like other people!!!
I am starting the MC this Sunday. I can’t wait!
I started the master cleanse diet Friday, August 12. I’ve lost 13 pounds already and I can feel it. My goal is to lose another 37 pounds in the next 21 days. I’m sure I will lose it plus some if I need to. I do light exercises, just some sit-ups and walking. I also stretch and meditate. Nothing extraneous!
I love this website. It is informative and it really helps supporting people out there who are doing the MC. I am on my 3rd day. I have 7 more days to go. I really hope that I will feel okay when I go for my bootcamp tomorrow. I will try to take it easy.
I have lost 8 pounds so far from eating less before but now with the MC, I am looking forward to lose 10 more pounds in 10 days!
Im starting this weekend. Im a little nervous about the bowlovements because of my job but im excited. Im 26 and want to start a healrhy life style but overall need to lise weight for the prt. Im teying tuba diet now.
I am starting the MC tomorrow.. I decided to taste the lemonade drink today to make sure I can stand it and it wasn’t as bad as I anticipated. I am 23 years old and been through 2 pregnancies so I am hoping that with a some self control, my life style and body will change for the healthier. Wish me luck!
End of my first day on the mc. Feeling good besides a light headache from caffeine withdrawal but I expected that. I made the mistake of making a big batch to last thru the day. Do NOT do that! The cayenne seeps like tea and will get very spicy. Wanted to make sure I can still do light exercise. Thanks for the info!
I’m on my third day of the Master Cleanse &
have not been hungry since I started the mc I been feeling good but my back has been hurting a lil & I get a little weak at times but other than that I like being on this cleanse BTW Im 22 years old I’m trying to loose 40 pounds within the next 2 months any suggestions?
Day 21 here and feeling amazing. My only advise would be to stick to the plan and remember WHY you are doing the cleanse in the first place. If your reasons are pure, you will not have any issues. If, however, you don’t change with the cleanse, you are bound to have problems. I do run in the evenings, but have managed to overdo It a few times…no fun! Just do what feels comfortable… Wish everyone great success!
I just ordered my MC kit today and I’m excited to start it. I hope to start seeing the changes happen quickly. Where does most of the weight shed off from? I want to lose inches off my waist and lose some thighs.
Alexis….I heard you lose weight first from where you gained it last…..not sure if this is true though:)

I work for a Chicago hvac company that requires me to be always on the move. I’m hoping the master cleanse will help me lose the weight and provide me with the energy I need to be more productive at me job.

I will be starting the MC DIET for the first time on the 1st. And im looking to make a change in my life. I had breast reduction resently,Since then I have lost so much confidence in myself and my personal apperence.My breast made me stand out!! So I thought. Now that those big boobies are gone I have all this other stuff to look at….And I don’t like it at all.So a friend told me that I should try the Master Cleanse Diet…it worked for her.I have been over weight for about 15 years and It has gotten old. I will be 50 years old this March and I want to be in the best health and shape of my life. From now on…..I went form fabulous to fat and it time to go back home to FABULOUS town…..Once im done with this I plan on trying it for 10 days then going on to 30 days . my goal is tp lose…….up to 80 lbs total with hard work and excerise….maybe HCG TOO!!!!!
Day 1 of MC. I am a little weak . No exercise today. I will walk a little tomorrow.
Hi there, I want to start the MC but I’m concerned about a few things. I ride horses for about 2 hours each day and I do not want to become too weak for this, will this be too hard on my body? Also, once off the MC will I gain all of my weight back? How do I keep it off? Last thing… I am 16, is that too young to take on the MC? I am home-schooled so I am not worried about classmates or teachers worrying about me. My mom has done this cleanse before. Thanks!
I started the cleanse today. I am hoping to go for 14days. I am reading bogs and websites for motivation. I am already starving and missing food and its only day one!!
this is my 3rd day on d master cleanse…yay! i intend to go all d way.nid to loose 40kg
So what is the difference between the Master Cleanse and Juice Fasting? The Juice Diet Blog above said it was preferable to do a juice cleanse, now I am confused. Aren’t they the same thing??
Its my 2nd day on the MC…i drink herbal hot tea thru out the day to cut the hunger pains in between the ” lemonade drink”… i feel differently from moment to moment. Ive had my fair share of emotions..cramps and shear hunger plus weakness. I agree with the above person who stated that they read the blogs and the mastercleanse website for motivation, i do the same. Good luck too all on this!!!!
ps..working out is not an option FOR ME during this process…i feel too weak.
hello,
I’m starting the master cleanse right now i just finished drinking the laxitive tea and i was wondering if i would be able to lose like 15-20lbs in 10-12 days? And is there anything that will help me lose weight faster while doing the master cleanse. Like what kind of activities?
I am starting the master cleanse this Sunday and I am somewhat afraid… I’ve done it before and lasted a total of 3 days. I use to be 350 lbs and through dieting and hardwork I got down to 190 lbs. Unfortunately because I let go of practicing good eating habits I again swelled up to 220 lbs and I know my system is in need of great detoxification, I am more determined now, then I have ever been and I’m going to go for 10 days strong. I am anxious and have strong faith. I will also be using this fast spiritually as well because I am christian and I’ve heard of great spiritual awareness coming of this cleanse. I have also been smoking again for the last year and intend to put it behind me with this refreshing cleanse
MAN STARTED MC TODAY ITS LUNCHTIME AND I AM STARVING!!! I KNOW I CAN DO THIS. GOING TO KEEP READING ALL THE TESTIMONIES AND STAY FOCUSED AND ENCOURAGED!!! GOOD LUCK EVERYBODY
I started the master cleanse befor and lasted 5 days. In those 5 days I lost 10 pounds. It was the hardest thing I ever had to do. I’m starting again today since I know what I am getting myself into. I currently weight 205 lbs and want to get all the way down to 120. I know that sounds crazy but it is possible. I need to get down to that weight because i am 5’4 and 205 lbs dont look right on me and is taking a toll on my body. 120 is the weight the doctor told me I should be at so I have a long ways to go.
