What is the Master Cleanse Diet?
I believe no matter what some people say that the master cleanse diet is a great idea for everyone to try at some point. I will tell you a bit why.
Most of us go through life having some up and down days and exercise or try to eat better to improve how our energy, concentration and look are. Not trying to hard but doing what we can.
Well for some people that is just not enough. I know that years ago I was the picture of fitness and then through some bad decisions my body started feeling not so great. My wife had to do one of those one day cleanses and I jumped at trying it as well just for a lark on a Sunday.
I can tell you I felt great the next day and for weeks afterwards. That one day cleanse changed the way I looked at cleanses although sometimes the medical community is slow to pick up on the results.
Master Cleanse Diet
Anyone that has listened to the Howard Stern show on the radio, or has seen the movie Private Parts has seen Robin Quivers, the straight girl to Howard’s crazy antics. Well I just ran across a quote from a People magazine article where she said the following about doing a detox cleansing called the Master Cleanse diet:
“This wasn’t about loss,” says Quivers, who traces her health problems to steroid-based medication that she took in 1989 to regulate her menstrual cycle, “I was really trying to regain my health, and that’s what it did.”
“She’s a whole different person, “says Howard Stern producer Gary Dell’Abate, “I’ve been with her 20 years, and I’ve never seen her this happy and confident.”
As a fitness and health blogger I get lots of people asking and commenting on how good cleanses are for them in general and the master cleanse diet it particular and I know that the medical community is split, but once you do a cleanse, a proper cleanse, you will see and feel the difference as your body becomes much more powerful and you have better concentration and clarity.
Many people will do some kind of fast or detox or cleanse or whatever you call it to lose and although you will lose some it is like starvation , it will come back over time. If however you do the master cleanse diet with the right idea, to make your body healthier and more efficient then you are going to jump start yourself to losing much more easily because you will be in fact making your body work better and you will not be fighting the toxins in your body at all.
What is the Master Cleanse Diet?
Out of all the cleanses out there I had heard that the Master Cleanse is the best one. The master cleanse is also known as the lemonade diet or the cayenne pepper and lemonade diet. The 10 day diet is the detox method that you hear about celebrities doing and having success with. I just also heard from my wife that the girls on The View were talking about the Master Cleanse last week and Beyonce used it in getting read for the movie Dreamgirls. The Master Cleanse diet is free and you can buy the stuff for it at the suppermarket but really it is very very tough to follow through on
Why is the Master Cleanse Diet Tough?
At the start of the Master Cleanse diet everyone is excited but after the first or second day a lot of people bail out. It is importnat ot go through the full 10 days of the Master Cleanse diet and after a lot of searching I have found a way that should help you.
I have found a great and cheap product that not only teaches you how to do the Master Cleanse but since it is so difficult for the 10 days it is also a guide on how to do the cleanse most successfully so that you do not quit half way through.
I have never recommended a fast or cleanse before because I never ran across one that had the support system for it. I could make up a cleanse right now that would probably be good but if I had no support system for anyone to go through is then what would be the point, by lunch the first day you would drop it for a hamburger.
Does the Master Cleanse diet Work?
Here are some reviews for the Master Cleanse Diet
Personally this FAST is working for me. This is my 6th day being on it and as of yesterday i’ve lost 10lbs.
Master Cleanse diet Support
I don’t want to go into detail on how each cleanse works and why but I think that anyone that does a cleanse accepts that it is a good idea and something that they feel has improved their health. So I will just go into the one that I am interested in letting you know about today.
Master Cleanse Secrets is nice and cheap at only $27 and is a support system in itself so that you can succeed. Again, it is not the type of cleanse that is only important but getting to the end which is the tough part for anyone. The Master Cleanse Secrets program even has a daily Journal which is great for keeping you on track but also an info book on the bodies four main cleaning systems and how they work.
Check out Master Cleanse Secrets Now and tell me what you think of the master cleanse diet, if you buy it today and email me at bill @ nadraszky.com I will send you a little bonus of a 61 page book called Eliminating Stress and Anxiety from your life. I just urge you to try this master cleanse diet and see if it does in fact change your life.
I’ve done this lemonade diet before about 2 mos ago. I drank like 2 or 3 bottles of it a day during work (which i find is easier b/c youre working so you can just eat all day) & then @ nite i would eat 1 meal along w/ walking on my breaks/lunches. On the weekend however i was not on the diet i just ate (lightly but i did eat).. After 2 wks of doing this i lost 13 lbs. I was excited that I had lost any @ all b/c to my understanding you must only drink the lemonade juice everyday all day. Maybe my loss result would have been much better. Anyway I have restarted this diet as of last tuesday. So im 5’3 @ before starting tuesday weighed 180 (it doesnt show much b/c im well porportioned i may look like i weigh 165) but anywa im trying to get down to 140 or 145. So as of last tuesday i drink 2 bottles of lemonade diet a day, i eat one time @ dinner before 8 & i do not drink lemonade diet on weekends & i do eat. I still do have to use the restroom about every 10 min & it appears to be working but my question I know im doing it wrong but is it @ least still working? Im sure id see better results by not eating at all but i really lovvvveeee food so its hard to just not eat. Maybe i need to drink everytime i get hungry which would be like 10 bottles a day. But i cant afford that much for the ingredients. Someone give me advice on how im doing this plan. Is it wrong for me 2 eat once a day
so you have done it before, when did you start seeing the drop off? … today is my 2nd day
wow..thank you for this…i will eat still because i work out a lot
Well, you are doing it completely wrong and missing the whole point of this. It is a clense so by eating food you are no longer cleansing your body so there is no real point of doing it. As for the lost that is occuring due to the lack of daily calories which would occur regardless of what you eat and has nothing to do with the clenase the reseasoning is that if you reduce colories you will lose . The whole purpose of doing this is to cleanse your body of the toxions in your body and although loss is a added bonus if you are not going to do it the right way then you are better off just reducing your calories
Hey I’m starting the MC for the first time very soon, and I need motivation! keyandraborum@gmail.com i will do the MC for 10days and maybe longer if I can! email me please? thanks!
I am starting the Master Cleanse tomorrow. Everybody keeps telling me that im dumb for doing this and it will never work. I believe that it will work im in need of some motivation and tips … anyone have any for me?
If you want motivation check out you tube there is a girl on their i think her name is abigail she did it for 40 days lost 32 pounds and says she feels great. Type in 40 day master cleanse and you will see her videos it motivated me to try it. Good luck
motivation need please smithyoe@yahoo.co.uk, share your experience please
I need some motivation pls I did this diet for 7 days last 2 months but I want to start it again tomorrow, my goal is to lose 2 stone, yes indeed, it wasn’t easy, but I prefare the mixture warm and I went on well afterall. My email add is smithyoe@yahoo.co.uk,, please feel free to share with me your experince I have to do this, my health comes first. Thank you.
On day two I was impossibly weak. I trembled with every step and could hardly hold anything in my hand without dropping it. I was sweating but shivering cold with goosebumps. I lost all colour in my skin and my lips were turning purple. I was at a new level of exhaustion and had a splitting migraine. The sight of the horrid mixture sickened me ever more.
Well, I’m convinced. I need to go through with this diet. Glad to know there’s a guide for it. Thanks for publishing this information. My goal is of course to cleanse my body of toxins and lose . ‘Not sure yet how long I’ll hold out, but 2 weeks is a good start for me.
Hi
I Currently weigh 249.4 lbs. am 5’7, i am looking to lose on this, but before i decide to start, i was wondering if theres anyway that we can skip the rushing to the bathroom every 5 mins. im in School and I work and i cant efford to stay in the bathroom all day.
Also, How Much Weight is typical on someone my size? i am looking to do it for 10-20 days, for the first time. and will decide on further extension after seeing the results.
Thank You.
Well, it is a detox so there is no way to prevent from the amount of time you will spend in the bathroom it is how the detox work. As for how much to expect there is no way to know that everyone’s body works differently.
I am also 5’7 and was 249.5 lbs. I am now on Day 6 and lost 13 lbs so far. It is true that the first three – four days are not the greatest in terms of fatigue, fogginess and undergoing basic food withdrawal but once you get past that time period, you will have more energy and better clarity. I’m planning to do it for 15 days and then transition to juicing with vegetable and limited fruits. Would like to get under 200 lbs. as soon as possible because I have NEVER been this heavy before and I was starting to have serious and unprecedented aches and pains.
Hi Everyone,
I’ve been doing master cleanse for years. I had chronic chronic acne. My job was very dependent on looking good. So it was really important to me to beat this. After years of taking antibiotics and dealing with chronic yeast infections since it killed all the bacteria in my system. I finally gave it a try. It basically cleaned out my filtration system (my intestines) so that I could rid myself of toxins through intestines instead of through my skin. Major Life Victory. I wish I could share this secret with everyone who has bad acne but that would be too bold!
My brother who literally had a pizza face. Did only the saltwater flush. When I saw him next, he had model like skin. No joke.
I do it every year several times and have at least a dozen of my friends who now do it. One philosophical thing that I love about it is that while you are doing it you can remind yourself “When life hands you lemons, make lemonade!” Life is never too desperate in the United States to count your blessings and make the best of a situation.
Disciipline and most of us have “reserves” so you’re not going to keel over and die. They’ll be plenty of meals right around the corner. Visualize the outcome and just do it!
Hi MC Accomplishers!
Rather this is day 1 or day 10 for you, this is my first time on the MC and this is day 4 for me. Compared to day 1-3 I am feeling pretty darn good today 🙂 thank God! I prayed thru the terrible headaches. I’ve lost 7.4 lbs, my skin looks radiant, body feels light and the aches and pains are not there as usual and I have ENERGY. I can honestly say this really works, I kept praying for a boost in loss and my metabolism, I’ve found the answser in MC.
Thank God for MC!
Can someone let me know about the salt water flush and the tea. I have the recipe for the lemonade, but cant find any information about the salt or tea. How much do you use?
What about the “secrets” to the diet. ON the websites it states “FREE” but then tells you to buy the extra info. Hmmmmmmmm.
Thinking of starting on Mrch 25, 2012, hopefully for 10 days. 🙂
I am on day 2 of my Master Cleanse and I needed to post something to help re-motivate myself that I can DO this! Day one was honestly not that hard at all. I used the organic Yogi Stay Regular tea the night before starting the lemonade and then did the salt water flush first thing in the morning. Wow. Normally I always assume things won’t work how they are supposed with me, but this WORKS. However, a whole quart of water is very tough. I have to be to work every morning at 7:30am, so I don’t have a lot of time to get this step out of the way before leaving the house. Today, I actually only did half of the salt water flush, using 2 cups of water and one tsp. of organic sea salt. Although I really wanted to stick to the plan exactly, this still seemed to get results. When I woke up this morning, I was very sleepy and I’d had 8 hours of sleep. Once up though, I felt great and wasn’t hungry at all until about noon. Now all of the sudden my resolve is resolving. I haven’t cheated yet and I don’t want to, so any encouragement or advice would be extremely welcome. I forgot to mention also that in addition to starting this master cleanse, I also haven’t had a drink since 3 days prior to starting it. I have a serious problem with alcohol and have wanted to stop for a long time. I guess a good thing in addtion to this cleanse helping my body be healthier, it’s also helped me stop craving alcohol because all I can think of now is food. Lol. Well, thanks for listening.
i have done the mc before. i did it for seven days and lost 8 kilos. i couldn’t get through the 10 days because. i kept on thinking abt food. i tried it again but stopped halfway through. i am starting again tomorrow and this time i am going to go all the way through. my drive to get better results, look and feel younger is stronger now, so forward ever backward never. i will keep you updated on a daily basis.
hello
im glad to hear that you keeping a it, im doing a 7 day tea cleanse at the moment i have lost 5 kilos in these 3 days i am happy though a little weak it has help me feel less depressed though i am doing this clean out i want to try to be vegan i have tried lacto vegetarian and that has been good, i thought a cleanse once a month would be great so i am going to try this 10 day would be more intense
My wife has done the MC 3 times before and this is my first. I finally quit smoking after 26 yrs. and have put on about 25 lbs. So i figured with that habit out of the way I should try to detox my system, and in the process lose a few pounds, however, does anyone know of a way to keep the pounds off?
i completed my master cleanse it was difficult the first 3 days becus u start craving food but after that it comes easily i lost 30lbs in 10 days was an amazing feeling i will be doing it again next week or so… i learned that its good to eat very lil before u start the master cleanse that way u cud get use to the not eating part … and ur suppose to take the laxative first once u have ur bowl movement u drink a glass of SWF …if u do the master cleanse after the 2 or 3 days do not STOP and start eating u will get extremely sick this is no joke so becareful and be safe
Adelina, what was your secret to such success, 30 lbs in 10 days is awesome, pls share the info with me.
Im only drinking the lemonade drink 3 times a day and 8 glasses of water. Is that ok? I cant drink 6 . Its too much :/
ur suppose to drink the lemonade only wen u get hungry or feel hungry but if ur drinking it 3times a day as a glass thats fine but its better if u fill a bottle water with it and just drink bits of it wenever u feel or get hungry and drink ur normal glasses of water
ok thanks.im drinking it 6 times a day but i hate doing the swf so i stopped,it didnt help me.and it also taste veery nasty
Adelina!
I know I am months later, for this is my 4th day on the MC your loss of 30 LBS is just AWESOME! How things going? Are you keeping the off?
* Love, Nirla
Hi everyone! Today is the end of Day 2 for me on the Master Cleanse & I’ve lost 5 lbs so far. The SWF Flush & Smooth Move Laxative Tea are going great for me & I’m drinking 6-10 glasses of my Lemonade Drink per day. I drink the laxative tea at night & do my SWF Flush in the morning.
Day 1 was the worst; very lethargic, horrible flu-like symptoms, sore throat, sneezing up tons of mucous & a major, killer headache ALL DAY. I was pretty much in bed for the entire day. I’m a chronic coffee drinker (addicted to caffeine) so I think I was having major coffee withdrawals & detoxing as well, but today was great! Looking forward to Day 3! Will try to keep you all updated on everything. If you have any questions, need support/motivation or just want a MC Buddy, please email me at: mrsbenavidez@ymail.com.
I’m thinking of vlogging my journey on YouTube as well! We’ll see! Praying for all of you!
? Nirla
u lost on ur first day even if u were in bed allday? wow.thats really good.but i hate it because it doesnt work for me.i lost only 2lb in 3days.
Love all the reviews i have to make it a point to go through them each day for motivation. I’m having caffeine withdraws but no sugar cravings (i’m addicted to sweets). Is it normal to get cold? How many bowel movements should someone have? How about working out on the cleanse? Thanks!
Basically due to the fact if we arrive to really feel down, the depression arrives. It’s that standard.Excellent to become going to your site throughout once again, it’s been months for me.
So glad I was able to provide you with the information your required, keep following my future posts, who knows what you will learn that will be of benefit in the future!
Today is day 1 for me! Is there anyone else out there that would like to do it together? I’m really hoping to go the full 40 days and drop at least 40 pounds. I know I can it but having someone to do it with will just make it easier. Good luck all!
Hi Rebecca,

Hi Cindy,
How are you preparing the SWF? The first time I did it, it worked in like 45 minutes, try adding maybe a little bit more of salt…are you using uniodized sea salt? I’m starting my cleanse tomorrow & will be working out somwhat as well. Let me know if you need help with anything we can support eachother.
im starting my cleanse next week would be nice to have a support team email me if thats the case palacios-a10@live.com would be a pleasure
I will be trying this cleanse on Sunday. I dont think i can make it 40 days, but will shoot for 5-10 and see how it goes
omg its my first day! and my throat are burning im having sore throats grrr.. i dnno if i got correct paper
Hi there
Did you last the 40 days. How much did you loose.
today is day one of my journey on the master cleanse. the “lemonade” is acually pretty good i like things hot. does it matter how much of the cayane pepper i use i like it with a lot lol
ive been on the master cleanse for 16 days… i have lost 20 pounds… but i been stuck on the same for the past 4 days… does anybody know why?
Remember the scale reflects both fat loss and water . When you lose a lot of pounds in the beginning of any diet/fast it isn’t all fat. You body is just readjusting to the water loss. That’s a good thing. If you take your measurements or watch your clothes getting looser you will see you are probably losing real . I’m just as addicted to the scale as many of you are but you can’t let your spirits be affected by it. You know how many calories you took in and you couldn’t possibly have not lost fat. Just stick with the plan and don’t try to reinvent the diet, it is time tested.. Congratulations on the 20 pounds! After the water is balanced that is REAL .
