Sallie,
I have done the Master Cleanse several times and it is a lovely experience. You have gobs of energy and it is amazing what you can do with all the extra time spent not eating, cooking, cleaning up, etc.
The drink has 80 calories from the 2 Tbs of Maple Syrup so it prolly wouldn't be good to diet and take the drink. It is more of a meal replacement thingy. It is sustaining though! You drink 8-12 glasses a day so that's significant calories. The way the Maple Syrup is suspended in the water it is different than sugar water. It never settles at the bottom of the cup and it's not like you feel like chugging this drink. It is quite rich and takes me like 20 minutes to sip it. Delicious though! I use it sometimes as a meal replacement if I don't feel like using energy to digest a meal.
Good luck!!!
This site is a Godsend. Adrian Bryant is one generous man!
So, it says there she went from 138 to 128 in hw long? Thats only 10 pounds. And she drank the lemon, cayenne pepper, maple syrup mix but whats the portion of each to how many oz of water? She still loks good. Just wonder if she went the 20 pounds all the way. That means if I dont "cheat" then in 14 das I will defenitally lose the 20 pounds. mireli.scott@us.army.mil
Sallie,
I doubt it - and I wouldn't do this diet anyway since you're really not supposed to eat anything except for this drink.
what if i were to do the cleansing diet, with the brown rice and fish and things, and to drink this drink also, would it help in loosing more weight quicker?
Nicole,
I don't think it'll interfere with you losing weight
can you smoke while on this diet?
Jess,
Why don't you try this fast weight loss diet here instead
I'm a 25 year old woman who currently weighs 185'ish and am 5'7". I have been struggling with my weight since my jr. Year of high school when I gained 60 pounds over the summer for a reason unexplainable by doctors. I currently live in Oklahoma and am going to San Francisco in exactly 2 weeks for a friends wedding. I would love to be able to wear a sleeveless dress instead of hiding behind a jacket (seeing as the wedding is outdoors) what are the side effects of this diet (if any)? I tried it less then a week ago and found that after my morning drink of sea salt and water, I had SEVERE bowl movements and felt like I was torturing my body. Anyone else know if that's normal?
I would really like to do this cleanse and will continue to work out during this time as well. Is it easier after the first couple of days? Any help would be appreciated.
Amanda c.,
It'll make you lose weight all over your body (as any other weight loss diet would but...) Everybody loses weight in different places and there's no way to predict where a certain person will lose weight
Hi, would this diet help you lose weight on areas most needed? For example, i have excess weight on my midsection, so would the master cleanse help me with my stomach fat, or would it make me lose weight on my whole body?
Nikki,
Only if you need to lose weight for an emergency situation - All the plastic bag does is make you lose a lot of fluid (water) real fast that you gain back quickly.
If you needed to lose 5 pounds real quick to pass a physical - then the plastic may come in handy temporarily
Is it a good idea to wear aone of those plastic that makes you body sweat alot while working out in the gym.
i cannot find the grade b maple syrup anywhere. i dont live near a Whole Foods or Trader Joes. can you tell me what stores/supermarkets sell it ?
but what if i still kept the weight off by exercize and eating right, im asking if this diet would give me the boost to get rid fat around my waist.
ana,
NO - this diet won't help you lose love handles long term- Go here for long term weight loss solutuions and...
Go here for exercises to get rid of love handles
Niki,
I would rather you do this diet here to lose weight fast -
You can try the master cleanse diet but a lot of people quit th diet because it's too hard since you're basically eating nothing but drinking some juice & syrup mix.
i have stubborn love handles, would this diet help in any way to get rid of the fat around my waist?
I am 225 pounds and need to loose wait for a wedding by july 4th I would like to weight 180-190 since am 5'11. would this diet work for me and what can i do while on this diet to prevent my metabolism from slowing down.
chrissy,
Yes you probably can get maple syrup from local supermarkets but I don't know if shoprite or pathmark sells it
could you get the maple syrup from local supermarkets, like shoprite or pathmark?
Anonymous,
I would feel better if you did this fast weight loss diet instead so you'll lessen the chances of you screwing up your weight loss you worked so hard for this year and while doing this diet -
You can try doing interval workouts twice a day to also speed up your weight loss
Hi Adrian, I am female, 19, 5'5 and weigh 211 pounds (was 253 but have lost weight since January 200
and I have a weight loss emergency; I need to lose as much as I can within a month but I have been working so hard with my dieting and exercising that I dont want to have it all undone once I come off this master cleanse, although motivation and determination are not a problem for me, but I have a lot of fat to lose. Is there a way to maintain the weight loss after?
Also, because I have 'bingo wings', if I lost weight quickly on this diet would the loose skin be even worse afterwards or would I be able to go back to my normal fitness routine to gain back lost muscle tissue and for general maintainance without bulking up too much? Sorry for the lengthy comment.
tina,
I think (not sure) you can't eat ANYTHING! and as a matter of fact...
I've read beyonce cheated on this diet by eating fish but like I've said at least 100 times already...
THIS is a short term emergency diet and not for long term weight loss
what foods can you eat while on this diet?
Christine,
Like I said before - i'm not sure nor Iam an expert on this diet - I just know Beyonce used it to lose weight fast and All I can tell you is to Ask an expert on the master cleanse diet if it's okay to use other kinds of syrup
Gabby,
I'm guessing about 5-to-10 pounds to get the same average Beyonce got but I'm only guessing and...
Why do this short term weight loss diet When you can do a long term plan instead?
so if i use a different type of syrup, would this diet not work?
i am 139 pounds 5 foot 4 1/2 inches tall. if i did this diet for 7-10 days, how much weight would i lose?
you can get the Grade B maple syrup at Whole Foods, or Trader Joes. If they have those stores close to you. If not you will have to go to a health food store, where they sell organic foods.
Christine,
I think you pretty much have to stick to the diet as is for it to work but... You can do to the master cleanse diet website to see if you can do that
Is it okay if you use a different kind of syrup? Because I can't really find grade b maple syrup.
jennifer,
Don't do this diet Do one of these diet plans instead and YES...
You can try this diet but you won't finish it because it's too hard and realize...
Beyonce did this diet to lose weight for a movie so her level of motivation is much higher than yours and if you don't have any weight loss emergencies it's no need to do this diet plan
I'm 15 years old. Is this diet safe for me?
Mary,
It depends on how much you cheat or deviate from the original diet plan but...
People end up failing on the master cleanse because you're virtually eating nothing making it hard to stay on and remember this...
Beyonce had a big incentive ($$$) to lose weight!
if you eat while on this diet, will it still be effective?
Sharon52,
Beyonce cheated on the diet by eating fish, vegetables, and protein drinks... “I had to lose it really fast, so I fasted and only drank liquids and [had] fish and protein shakes and vegetables."
What other food did Beyonce eat while on the master cleanse diet
CC,
To keep weight off the master cleanse - You should Go here to see how much food you need to eat to maintain your weight and...
NO - you don't have to become a vegetarian to keep weight off forever but veggies and fruits do help keep the weight off
How do you keep off lost weight after finishing the master cleanse? Is it true that you have to become a vegitarian?
shay,
Yes, you'll see results beacuse... anyone can lose weight by basically NOT eating anything and only drinking water mixed with fruit juices and the amount of weight you lose depends on how overweight you are so I really can't say exaclty how much weight you'll lose and...
Like I've been telling everyone else... This diet is hard to stay on and the weight you lose on this plan will be gained back and you'll be better off doing one of these permanent weight loss plans
can i do this for 3 days and expect any results? if so how much?
Ryan,
I think so but The master cleanse website wil give you more details about exactly what to do on this diet but as I already said...
This diet is hard to stay on
I do have a weight loss emergency. I have to lose about 10-15 pounds in like a week or so. So you have to drink this drink 6-10 times a day?
Ryan,
Unless you have a real weight loss emergency - I wouldn't do the master cleanse.
You're better off doing a more permanent weight loss plan
so you drink 6-12 glasses of this stuff a day?
souljaerika,
YES YOU WILL! - I suggest you start over and use a more permanent weight loss plan from NowLoss.com
If I excerxise like 30 - hour a day and eat less than before the diet will I still gain some of the weight back after the diet
Kim,
YES -this diet will help you lose 10 pounds (maybe more) but... this diet is very hard to stay on and as for exercising - The way this diet is setup - you may not have the energy to exercise and NO...
NO exercise is needed to lose weight on this diet but...
You should look into other fast weight loss methods first
does master cleanse diet really work? I have to lose 10 lbs in two weeks for my interview.im applying for a Flight attendant position and i am overweight with my height. does the diet work with people who dont exercise?
Sasha,
black pepper instead of cayenne pepper will probably work but you'd be better off going to the master cleasne diet website to ask that question
could i use black pepper instead of cayenne pepper because where i live i cant get the pepper you specified. thanks !
Lisa,
I wouldn't know for sure (since i'm not a doctor) so... ask your doctor and in my personl opinion...
I don't think it's a good idea to go on the master cleanse diet while breast feeding.
Go here to see how to lose weight after giving birth
i am breast feeding would the master cleanse diet be suitable
Justine,
No - this plan should only be used for weight loss emergencies were you need to lose a lot of weight real fast for the short term - you on the other hand...
Should Do 1 one the permanent weight loss plans here
Hi Im have been tring to lose weight ever since I had my son 16 months ago! I even breastfed because I was it told it would help me lose my pregnacy weight. I wiegh 144 lbs and I would like to get down to 120 lbs again.It doesnt help that I gained even more wieght from college. I try and eat healthy and exercise when I get a chance at least once a week. I just want to knoe would this be right for me? I just want to get my figure back!
Gabby,
NO - the master cleanse is only good for people who REALLY need to lose weight for some sort of weight loss emergency like beyonce had - the reason why beyonce did it was becasue she had to look good for her role in dreamgirls -You'd be better off Seeing how to lose your last 10 pounds here
1'm 19. I'm at 140lbs and i'd like to be 130lbs. Is the master cleanse right for me?
lrayford,
To tell ya the truth... Yes you will lose 15+ pounds very fast on the very HARD TO STAY ON master cleanse diet but...
After you lose weight you'll need to find a way to get your metabolism back up by going on a permananent weight loss program like this one here: http://www.nowloss.com/how-to-
lo...permanently.htm and the reason why you need to this is to prevent you from gaining back all the weight you lost.
I am 185lbs and need to loose at least 15 lbs within 2 weeks. I sit at a computer all day and this is hard, but I must loose some weight. My target weight is 155 - 160 lbs. Can I do the master cleanse and eat vegetables and drink protein shakes.
Yes - it's definatily possible but this diet is very hard to stick to and I THINK YOU'LL BE BETTER OFF GOING ON ONE OF THE permanent weight loss plans here: http://www.nowloss.com/easy-weig...-loss-
plans.htm and i would only do what beyonce did unless you have a weight loss emergency were you HAVE TO LOSE 20 pounds in 2 weeks
I AM ABOUT 145IBS AT THE TIME BEING. I WANT TO KNOW THAT CAN I LOOSE 20IBS IN 2 WEEKS IF I STICK TO THE DIET AND NOT EAT ANYTHING AT ALL AND NOT CHEAT?
This diet helps you lose fat weight, muscle weight, and water weight and... i wouldn't recommend it to anyone who's trying to lose FAT weight permanently but...
If you had to lose a lot of weight fast before a wedding or reunion coming up - this would be a good diet to help you lose a lot of weight real fast and to best answer your metabolism question - read this: http://www.nowloss.com/very-low-...ll-not-
work.htm
Does this really aid in losing fat? Or is all the weight lost just water weight?
And why wouldn't one's metabolism suffer if they were fasting for that long of a time? Wouldn't it cause them to begin to gain weight continuously after coming off of the diet?
Yes - I can see this diet helping you lose 20 pounds in 2 weeks but you must realize.. this diet is not easy and it takes a lot of willpower.
I don't know for sure if protein drinks or vegi drinks are allowed but I don't thinking drinking them will prevent you from losing weight fast
I am 238lbs now and I'd like to be 170-180lbs by July, but would doing this diet help me lose 20lbs in 2 weeks? I'm a busy college commuter and worker and I hardly have time to eat so this would would out great. Can you drink protein drinks or vegi drinks with this diet?
