Tried the master cleanse for a second time. After about 7-8 glasses of the stuff I start throwing up. Happened last time I tried it too. This time I eased in eating only raw fruits and veggies for 2 days then only juice for a day. But as soon as the maple syrup and lemon kicks in… Barf. I don't mind the taste and can eat just about anything. Too bad for me. Anyone else have this problem?

the master cleanse for me is the most convenient way to detoxify your body. i also happen to love drinking a lot of lemon juice so i love the master cleanse.

How funny, I just stared this today, I was searching the web looking for info on the salt water oral enema and found this. I am suprised that I have not been hungry all day. We will see how I feel on day 10, but I too used to think it was crazy, but I really feel much better today than I normally feel

I am guessing it is the age range and uninformed, that have made most of the comments ahead of me. I have done the cleanse once before and currently am on it again. This time my husband is doing it with me. I enjoyed it so much last time, i was amazed everyday, i was never hungry. i did not do it to loose weight, i did it as a cleanse to start making small changes towards making better choices… i am totally over weight, but i feel fantastic on the cleanse. i only did 10 days the time before and on my 3rd today going for ten again, i would like to work up to longer… but like the girl above there is always a holiday with food calling to me! Anyways i wanted to say that you read the book and you know how SB feels about the medical field, oh your blood presures high heres a pill, oh that makes you dizzy heres a pill, and the off set the fatigue caused by that pill heres a pill! If i was starving, i would feel starving, i would be ripping my hair out not eating the food still in the house (i did not even have to get rid of all my food this is so easy not to eat) And if my body was holding on to any fat i could not possibly loose 2 pounds a day, i just do not have that much of anything else to loose, since i am drinking a ton of water… and what does the nurse have to say about the stuff coming out of my body after NOT eating for 10 DAYS… black and gross and mucus, yuck… but if my body could break it down, wouldn't that stuff not be there?

One more thing probiotics when you get off your clease helps to keep clean what you got clean.

I just have to say that as a recovering anorexic, I find it kind of shockingly offensive that you refer to this as "absurd anorexic crap that you would have to be an idiot to do." That is one of the most hurtful things I have ever personally read.

Although I agree with the comments that this can't be very good for your body, I wont try to discourage you. Rather, I am very interested in your experience with this and hope that you will provide us updates on how you feel, etc.

You're a braver woman than me! I don't think I"d make it more than 4 days without pizza. Keep us updated on how everything goes!

The whole idea of a master cleanse is so wierd to me, I can't imagine why anyone would want to do it. Not eating for ten days can't be healthy. Like the first poster said, it puts your body into starvation mode, storing everything you put in your body instead of getting rid of nonessential fats and burning calories. The reason people feel so "great" afterwards is because they have been depriving themselves and now they get to eat. It's like saying people should stab themselves repeatedly so that they know how wonderful it is to feel pain free or appreciate their life. It's ridiculous what people will believe.

This is your personal decision and I really hope it does no long term damage to your metabolism or body. It doesn't matter if you aren't doing this to lose weight: you will. Starving yourself is not good.

um yeah…i tried to do this master cleanse but the stuff that goes into it tasted so bad and made me so sick tat i literally threw up within the first 10 min of starting it. AKa it was impossible and made me sick, so good luck with that. The friend that i attempted this with speculated that perhaps people try to lose weight with this cleanse because it makes you barf…

I think ridding your body of a caffeine addiction is a good idea, but starving your body of important nutrients is not going to do anything good for it!
