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.
Hi there!
I’m on day 6! AND I LOVE the way my body feels!!!!! Sleeping GREAT and I have A LOT of energy! I havent done the tea at all. Just the sea-salt water in the morning as soon as I wake up.(then my first lemonage drink as soon as I go to the bathroom) As soon as I drink the 2 teasoons of sea salt and water, I have to go to the bathroom about 45mins later. And it’s just once. They say to try and hold it as much a possible 🙂 But no, haven’t had to go all day or anything crazy like that.
This is what I’ve experienced so far:
Day 1- easy with a slight headache in the evening
Day 2-6- no major cravings just the desire to dine:) And tv restaurant ads don’t help.
I have worked out a little since I started. NO lifting at all. Just rollerblading, hinking, jogging and walking. With a few sit up exercises.
My advice is to just drink anytime your hungry or have a craving! Don’t let yourself get hungry. And if you’re reallty active that day then have an exta glass or two that day. I also made a countdown list to check off everytime I drink a glass to keep track of how much I’m putting into my body.
Also eventully up the cayanne! Its good for you!
I have found it AMAZING how my body has reacted! It’s unbelievable how I feel for truly not eating.
Hope all that helps!
GOOD LUCK!
Ashley
Hi im 15 years old female and im over do you guys think i should try this please reply thank you
yupp am 18 and starting tommorrow morning+]
Hi Ashley that’s awesome news how are you feeling today are you still on the MC and how many lbs have you lost already? I am doing the MC for 40 days! Well I am going to give it my best. I know it will be challenging but needs to do it.. with light exercise and after I ahve acheived my goal I will start a workout program to get back in shape and back on track like the saying goes no pain no gain. Right, I am ordering Organic Maple Syrup Grade B because where I live they don’t sell Grade B which is what I prefer as everyone else but I have no choice and if I order online from across b road they will charge me an arm and a leg… So I Grade C will have to do. Good Luck to everyone and before I start will let you know. If anyone is looking to do it for 20 or 40 days let me know ‘I CHALLENGE YOU’ I DARE YOU TO CHALLENGE ME’; Let’s motivate and push each other. Best of Luck…
I meant to write I am ordering Organic Maple Syrup Grade C because I cant find Grade B anywhere..
@ Universal_Challenge I got the grade B on amazon. I dont think grade c will work the same.
Ashley i couldnt agree with you more, the salt water is wonderful, like she said in about 45 you have to go and thats it! the Tv ads will slander you, and living with people not on the diet will too, im on day 7 and up until today ive been feeling great, now im kind of Fatigued a little weak dont know whats going on, but they say its a side effect (fatiguedness)
Well I’m starting tomorrow! A little nervous about it since I’m a stay at home mom with food always around! But my husband is away on business so I don’t have to deal with making big meals so I hope that helps! The website I originally found the recipe on didn’t say anything about the tea. So I didn’t get that at the store today. Do I really need to do that? And will I be able to run to the store without having to go to the bathroom several times?!!!
Hey there everyone! It is a New Year and I look forward to a new me! I started researching MC and I am stoked to begin it next week!! Any tips for a newbie in the days prior to starting the cleanse? I will be updating daily and would love some inspiration and motivation along the way to get me through the entire cleanse. 🙂
good luck, i’m Anna and i did the MC for 18 days and i loved it. lost about 25 lb. well i started drinking the smooth move tea at night before starting the cleanse, stayed away from heavy foods and then just got it done. some headaches on day 3 but after i had lots of energy and motivation. some days when i thought about sertain foods i craved, i just drank more juice and got busy around the house. good luck
Hi Anna a big Congrats to you for being so successful and sticking to it which isn’t always easy that is awesome news and inspiritaional to many of us. Did you manage to keep the off and what was your daily routine? Did you eat cheat at anytime at all? and did you use Maple Grade B? I cant seem to find Grade B anywhere in the UK so if anyone knows for SURE where I can buy please let me know. I know where to order in the states but the shipping cost way too much for me and Im interested in buying 2 bottles of 64 or 60 oz and all I can find is Grade A and C….. but I heard Grade B is more effecitve andf best seems its what everyone one is using. Please any info on Grade B let me know best of luck to everyone and their goals for the new year.
I want to start the detox today. However, I would like to know if it is ok to workout while doing the diet?
Thank you.
HI, I am starting day one fully tomorrow. Today I have started with green tea steeped with oranges. I wanted to do this cleanse for 10 days to get my body ready to start a mainly raw food diet recommended by my OB/GYN. I am 40 years old and 5’9″ and weigh 218#. This is the heaviest I have ever been in my life and I really don’t like the feelings my body has been giving me since I got this heavy. Hubby and I are trying to have a baby and Dr. thinks the excess is hindering that. I plan on checking back here every couple of days. Please send any tips and motivation my way. Thanks, Jenni
Can we use honey instead of syrup?.. I cant stand maple flavor!!!
unfortunately not, honey is different and has more sugar
I did some research and am using Agave Nectar (organic) for my MC… Todau is day 7 for me…going for 40 days… Good Luck !!!
Hi Cynthia how are you doing? Are you still on the MC since Jan 10th? if so how is it going and how much have you lost? If you didnt stick to it and want a 40 day challenge let me know I am planning to start ASAP probably next week!!!!! Congrats to everyone and Good Luck!!
I’ve been using the Lady Soma Detox for 1 week per month and I am so pleased with the results. I have gone from a size 12 to size 4! YEAY!!!!!! I lost over 25 pounds. It’s true that the pills block a portion of your fat intake! I had tried for years to lose and nothing seemed to work for me. Now I’m using Lady Soma, eating MUCH healthier than before, and exercising regularly. I haven’t had any extreme treatment effects. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is serious about changing their lifestyle and losing !
thats awesome, how long did it take you to get to size 4, and how does lady soma detox works?
I’ve been using the Lady Soma Detox for once per month for the previous 6 months now and I am so pleased with the results. I have gone from a size 12 to size 4! Yeay!!!!! Lost over 25 pounds. Before beginning taking the Lady Soma Detox at the beginning of the month – It’s true that the pills block a portion of your fat intake! I had tried for years to lose and nothing seemed to work for me. Now I’m using the Lady Soma Detox, eating MUCH healthier than before, and exercising regularly. I haven’t had any extreme treatment effects. I definitely recommend this to anyone who is serious about changing their lifestyle and losing !
I was diagnosed with hypertyroidism. I am wanting to do this cleanse and drop 10-15 lbs. But I take meds for my condition. When do I take the meds? I usually take my meds first thing in the am. But I cant see that would work doing a flush :/
I take meds too and from what the book states you can take meds if they are prescribed, just no supplements while on this cleanse. I take welbutrin and I continue to take on this cleanse. Hope this helps!
well i started the master cleanse on Dec. 1, and now I’m finished with my fifth day. So far I’ve been doing great. Haven’t had any cravings and haven’t been feeling hungry. I’m planning to do it for 20 days, or for as long as i can. also have lost 9lb so far. I will be updating my results in couple of days.
hello world, my name sam i am 14 years old and this is the easiest diet i’ve heard of so far and i want to lose before i turn 15.And since im still pretty young i could really use examples of what i can eat during the diet. so i’d love a lot of information before i start it which is going to be on Jan 1,2012 and im going to do it for as long as i can :))))
im actually pretty excited to do it because i’ve heard amazing review and great results so ill be waiting for lots of information about it:)
Hi Sam you do not eat anything else apart from drink the mastercleanse lemonade juice. Am on day 21 yay 🙂
have you ever gotten weak during…
Hey everyone ! I’m starting the master cleanse tomorrow, I recently gained a lot of in my first year of university last year and have been working really hard to lose it. I’m at the last 15 lbs which are the hardest. I’m 20 years old, 5’6 and 130 lbs down from 155. My goal is 115. I am wanting to suprise my friends and family for christmas so I am doing it for the next three weeks, hopefully ill lose 15 lbs ! I am just wondering about the swf, how much are you supposed to drink every morning ? A litre or a cup ?
You are supposed to drink as full as a water bottle for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. You shouldn’t go on it for three weeks, my mother went on it for two and she had to go to the hospital. You should go on it for 1 or 1 and a half weeks, because you could lose 10 pounds, and your friends and family will still be very surprised.
I found the Lady Soma Detox to be the best complete colon cleanse that I could find. I tried 5 diffrent ones and ended up throwing most of them away but this one was very effective. I used it for 7 days and find that I am definitely feeling better & i lost as well…. I feel much more energetic now and dont have to worry about unexpected bathroom trips. I study herbs as a hobby and have found this to be an excellent formula.
Day 1 :O
Me too!! 7AM Did my flush last night, kinda cheated a little to save time, the commute to work wouldn’t be a pretty one, IF I were to do it in the am! Ha. I’ll do that on my days off. Good Luck!!
Can some boby help me please, i live in Edmonton Albaerta, Canada i want to start this diet . where can i buy Grade B syrup and what brand of cayenne
should i buy? Thanks.
contact me and I will be able to get you the Grade B Amber maple syrup
Thanks Dimitri, How will I contact you?
Mary, in Canada it isn’t grade “B”, it is Canada no. 2 or 3 . Nutter’s carries it, it is a one litre bottle with a green label. I have seen it in organic food stores, as well. However, in a pinch, the regular syrup will do, according to Burroughs, and you can get a deal at Superstore. Good luck!
Okay this is insane I have read some of the comments and I need to say this is not healthy. It is starving yourself. You can call it whatever ridiculous name you want to but let’s be honest it is starving yourself and yes you may lose but its muscle that your losing. When you do not eat your body goes into starvation mode and will eat the thing that is not necessary to keep you alive which is muscle. I used to be anorexic and it is miserable. Mia I read your comment and you said that you wanted to do it for 40 days? that is insane, that is over a month of starving yourself. I know you may say oh it’s a cleanse but really the key to living a healthy life at a healthy is to have consistent healthy meals and exercise regularly not live off of laxatives and water.
Actually fasting is healthy in this case. Pure Grade B maple syrup gives you the nutrients you need (like zinc, manganese, B vitamins, etc.) while organic juice from lemons, which is also rich in nutrients/vitamins, alkaizes your body meaning it puts your pH at a healthy/normal level (7 or up). Cayenne pepper breaks down mucus in the blood and is good for your circulation and sea salt (unrefined/uniodized) will help flush out toxins that cause harm to our bodies. This diet is very healthy because even though you arn’t eating solid foods you’re still getting the proper nutrients while getting rid of harmful toxins.
It actually is nothing close to starving yourself. The maple syrup and lemons provide the body with all the minerals and vitamins it needs as well as roughly 1300 calories. The body burns no healthy tissue for energy if the cranes instructions are followed carefully.
Wow… Julie, could you get any more ignorant?? Soooo many false statements there.
I want to try this diet but i’m a little nervous! Will i have to go to the bathroom a lot? I’m starting cosmetology school in 2 days and would rather not have problem like that. Also i was wondering if the Salt Water Flush is necessary? If anyone has any answers to my questions please reply! 🙂
So on day 1 of the MC im really trying to get through it but its hard with everyone eating around me…and the thought of not eating for 10 days makes me even hungrier!!!! just have to remind myself im doing this for my health!!!! wish me luck!!!!
Hey did u get through the 10 days?! i started all over again 🙁 i need motivation tbh :/ xx
Day 1 of MC…. I currently weigh 158 lbs and I am 5’4…. day one soo far has been ok, feeling a little hungry right now, but i am sure i will be even hungrier tomorrow and on day 3. I am already expecting it. I would really really love to do MC for 40 days as I would like to drop down to 110 and improve some of my health problems that 23 year old shouldn’t be experiencing, but I guess it all depends on the mental state of mind (to reach day 40).
I have once, 3 years ago completed water fast for 11 days that got rid of my persistent skin allergy that I had to take medication for it and also dropped about 16 pounds, however all the came back as I went back to eating junk food.
I am hoping to become vegan after i finish my detox, as I wanna be kinder to my body. But from junk food to vegan is going to be hard transition. So as I said I would love to do 40 days and a minimum of 14 days, but I will be taking it day by day.
Thanks for the support and I hope all u fellow MC’s are doing great on your detox to better health and better body.
i want to know if you suppose to do the salt and water everyday
The Master Cleaner book (by Stanley Burroughs) I am using says, This may be taken often as needed for proper wahing of the the entire digestive system.”
Joyce~bowel movement? Its when you do #2.
