hungry but loosing weight Reviewer: Anonymous   Reno, Nevada    04-18-2005 i am on the 5th day of the cleanse so far. i am not overly hungry but my cravings are at an ALL time HIGH! i cant quit thinking about food. i am counting down the seconds until i can eat again. so far i have lost 8lbs. my pants that barely used to fit are falling off me now. i am excited to get off the cleanse so i can eat sooooo healthy. even though i am having cravings, they are mainly for fruits and vegetables only. it takes alot of willpower, one of the hardest things i have ever taken on. good luck!

Reiterating - Master Cleanse Is NOT a Diet Reviewer: Healthy Eater       04-07-2005 I\\\'m glad to see some people finally correctly explaining the master cleanse. As they said, the primary function is to cleanse the body of toxins and the weight loss is a side benefit of removing the toxins. The Stanley Burroughs book, \\

where do I begin? Reviewer: Anonymous   nyc    03-20-2005 Im using this to do what MC says. It is really a cleanser people. Im ready to do this- but could you tell me where to begin? Ive got the whole kit, but the instructions are not clear on what exactly to start with, the tea, the lemonade, what? Thank you for your time

MC Reviewer: Anonymous   Toronto, ON    03-19-2005 I love the ignorance with which people speak so authoratively with. Get over your brain washed Atkins power rages and listen up. It is not just lemon and water, as already mentioned. It is not a miracle cure all, but it allows the system rest from digestion and lets it get rid of the toxins floating in your system (especially all those drugs that certified nurses and doctors would have us swallow). It is not a diet. You do lose weight, because we store toxins in our fat cells, but it\\\'s not meant specifically for that. If you\\\'ve never done it don\\\'t comment on it. It does work, and it does serve a purpose.

Master Cleanser - Not Diet Reviewer: Anonymous   Toronto, Ontario : Canada    02-03-2005 This is commonly referred to as a diet, when in fact it is not. It is designed to cleanse (from the name) your system of all the harmful toxins and chemicals that we all both knowingly and unknowingly injest every day. I follow this program a couple times a year, to cleanse my system. I have gone for 15 days before, with no hunger, and my energy levels stay up. I usualyl do lose weight on it (which is an obvious occurrance if you know what this cleansing is about) but it is not meant to be promoted as a diet. YES you can and will lose weight rapidly with this, but, and with all things, it is up to you to stay healthy and keep your body in shape...don\\\'t rely on FAD diets, they never are worth it.

This is not a diet but a fasting cleanse Reviewer: Anonymous   United States    01-20-2005 Yes, you will lose weight but it is primarly to help you get rid of toxins your body accumulates from all the junk we eat. It is a mixture of lemons, maple syrup and cayenne pepper.

Very Simple Diet Reviewer: Kevin       07-13-2004 Just drink a special lemonade mixture drink 6 times a day. It doesn't get much easier than that. After mixing the ingredients for the drink a couple times, you will get the hang of it and it will come natural. I live by this diet.

This diet has been a hoax for years Reviewer: Elizabetha       07-09-2004 I can't believe there are people out there who would believe that drinking lemonade (water and a lemon) will help you lose weight. If you have ever been on this diet then you are GULLIBLE!

I heard about this diet and tried it Reviewer: Tony       07-09-2004 It didn't work but I'm not sure if i did it right or not. I wasn't sure if it was a certain type of lemonade or just water with a squeeze of lemond in it and if so how much lemon/water 60/40....75/25 ??? not sure. Since I couldn't find a book or website on this diet I either did it wrong or this diet doesn't really exist.

I am a cert. gerontological nurse... Reviewer: Ingrid       07-09-2004 I wouldn't recommend this fasting diet to anyone especially an elderly person. Too many health risks. And elderly folks may have medicines that they need to take as well.

The silliest diet Reviewer: Jo       07-08-2004 This is the silliest diet I have seen in a long time.Maybe thats why the beginning of the word diet is "die". I could go into why this is such a bad idea but I will leave that job to someone who knows how to put it much better than I. I cannot beleive that some people think doing such things to their baodies will make them healthier. Just my $.02

Lemons? Grapefruit? Reviewer: Cubit       07-03-2004 I read about a grapefruit diet that caused damage to a woman's skin. I'll bet a long lemons only diet would do the same. Why not try low carb?

The Book Reviewer: Nora       07-02-2004 I have a book somewhere(packed down) about tthis very diet.But no sweetening. It is supposed to cure everything, especially cancer. The lemon is supposed to give you pure energy because the molecules are spirals turning right, ten right direcion for utilizing energy, it has to do with the krebs cycle. I do not remember more. Some fasting would not harm people.

Master Cleanser is also known as "The Lemonade Diet" Reviewer: Colby       07-01-2004 My urologist suggested this diet for me. He said it is used to cleanse the kidneys and help reduce the risk of kidney stones.

Once A Month? Reviewer: Tetrad       06-29-2004 A guy I dated did this fast at least once a month. He turned out to be a complete jerk. Maybe there's a correlation? ;-D

I love lemonade Reviewer: Kerry       06-28-2004 Since I love lemonade, i don't minf going on this diet once every season or every 3 or 4 months. It does a great job of cleansing my body and I feel alot better everytime.

This is the drink I used last yr while on this diet... Reviewer: Oscar       05-12-2004 It is 1 to 2 tablespoons of =real= maple syrup, 1/2 freshly squeezed lemon and a little bit of cayanne pepper (how much you want to tolerate) into 8 ounces of good water. (less maple syrup for weight loss). I rapidly lost 6 pounds in about 3 days time.
