It is frustrating to see everyone all over the internet saying they lost weight and I look at the scale and see that my weight osculates between the same weight I had before starting it and even more. Can you guys point some reasons for this please? I am feeling desperate because I have been doing this to lose weight (obviously to detox is a big plus) but nothing seems to work. Before I started it my doctor checked to see if I had any thyroid problems that could affect weight loss results and seems like I was free from those, so I can\u2019t see any reason for this to be happening ESPECIALLY AFTER I AM ON DAY 5 OF THE MASTER CLEANSE.<\/em><br \/>\n<em> thank you all for the answers!&#8221;<\/em><\/p>\n<p>It can be disheartening to do the Master Cleanse with the goal of losing weight, then end up not losing anything or even gaining weight.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to remember that the Master Cleanse is a detox cleanse and not a weight loss cleanse. Sure, most people do lose weight, often times it&#8217;s a decent amount, but the primary goal is to flush out internal waste.<\/p>\n<p>Most of the time this internal waste is compacted fecal matter. When you have a lot of this built up inside you and you pass it, you&#8217;ll experience a noticeable drop in weight.<\/p>\n<p>The other type of waste that gets flush out of you body is microscopic &#8211; things like bacteria and metabolic waste. You won&#8217;t be lighter after removing these but you&#8217;ll be healthier when they&#8217;re gone.<\/p>\n<p>So the primary reason you don&#8217;t lose weight on the Master Cleanse is that you don&#8217;t have much built up fecal matter to expel from your body.<\/p>\n<p>The second reason is the scale isn&#8217;t moving is that you consume a lot of liquid on the Master Cleanse. Many people are slightly dehydrated. They primary drink coffee, alcohol, and soft drinks which are diuretics, and very little water.<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s common to gain a few pounds when your body rehydrates on the Master Cleanse. This is not something to be upset about. Being properly hydrated will improve every aspect of your health.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What happens when you gain weight on the Master Cleanse? &#8220;Hi, I am feeling really depressed because i am on [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"site-sidebar-layout":"default","site-content-layout":"","ast-site-content-layout":"default","site-content-style":"default","site-sidebar-style":"default","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"default","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-4)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2}},"categories":[56],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1685","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-master-cleanse"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"","jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p599WV-rb","jetpack_likes_enabled":false,"jetpack-related-posts":[{"id":310,"url":"https:\/\/mastercleansesecrets.com\/blog\/master-cleanse-weight-loss\/the-master-cleanse-and-weight-loss\/310\/","url_meta":{"origin":1685,"position":0},"title":"The Master Cleanse and Weight Loss","author":"Raylen","date":"June 15, 2009","format":false,"excerpt":"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.
