MASTER CLEANSE Diet: Discover the Master Cleanse Secrets

Thanks for sharing so much information on your site. Keep up the good work!

Where can I find the Master Cleanse recipe?

When is the best day to go on the Master Cleanse? Thanks

Are there any foods I can take while on the Master Cleanse?

How does the Master Cleanse actually works? Is it safe?

Howard: The Master Cleanse is a detox cleanse, lasting for 10 days. You will not take any solid foods during these 10 days but only a lemonade concoction. This gives your stomach and digestive system a break, allowing your body to rapid detox at the same time.

Can I lose weight with a 3 day Master Cleanse?

Thank you for sharing about the Master Cleanse.

How much weight can you lose with master cleanse diet?

I have just had my second glass of the master cleanse concoxion. it is not bad at all. I only need to find out what if i don’t take salty water and the laxative, would i still get some positive results?

Krystal, Beyonce Knowles lost 22 pounds in 14 days with the Master Cleanse. There are many other success celebrity stories besides Beyonce. Definitely a good weight loss diet

i have been on this for 4 days now and have not lost weight. i have lost an inch or so on waist. am i doing something wrong? should i drink more lemonade? im drinking 9 glasses a day.

Jempi, not taking the salt water flush w/o the Master Cleanse is fine

I really like your blog and i respect your work. I’ll be a frequent visitor.

Mary,
i don’t think you should worry too much just yet. The first time I did it, I list maybe 2-3 pounds in the first 5 days. It should start to speed up once you pass the 1 week mark. I believe I started losing rapidly on day 9. My size 3 jeans were impossible to hold up on the 14th day. Keep going, Mary! I promise, It just keeps getting easier as the days pass! The weight loss is incredible, but please please please please don’t pig out when you’re done! I ended up fatter than I was before the diet after about 3 weeks! I really didn’t even want the food I ate, but I was weak=[

I want to start this Master Cleanse Diet, but i was wondering how many glasses a day do i need to take.
Am i only supposed to replace the drink for every meal, ex. instead of eating a meal for breakfast, lunch, & dinner do i have the drink instead?

should a 17 years old cand do this?

im 16byears old aand todays my first day on the diet. i plan to do it for 7-10 days. is it safe? because i feel a bit weak. also how much will i lose in this amount of time? i currently weight 130. i would like to weigh 124

i have been on this for 4 days now and have not lost weight. am i doing something wrong? should i drink more lemonade? im drinking 7 glasses a day.

Hi Paddy,

Glad that you’re on the Master Cleanse. Just stay on the Master Cleanse for awhile more, you should see results on the 9th and 10th day, at least that was when it happened for me

Hey Rebeccah,

It happens when you on the Master Cleanse. You should be able to 6 pounds at the end of the 10 days

The Master Cleanse can be done by almost everyone… even if you’re 17. As long as you’re above 16, you be fine

Thank you for all the useful information on the Master Cleanse

Rae,

when on the Master Cleanse, you be not taking any solid foods for the duration of the cleanse.

So yes, you be taking only the lemonade drink

Where can I find the Master Cleanse recipe? I want to start next Tuesday!

The Master Cleanse recipe is on this site under Master Cleanse recipe to the right

Thanks for sharing so much info on the Master Cleanse. I definitely be looking at Katie’s Master Cleanse book

I like to lose 10 pounds in 14 days. Can the Master Cleanse help me?

Thank you for the info.

I only want to try the master cleanse for the first time for a short time like 2-3 days is that ok

I am starting the master cleanse today, I can only do it for 6 days because of important travel plans after that. Will I still get the benefits of the cleanse? and the weight loss, not as important to me but still would be great.

I REALLY NEED SOME ADVICE on this I AM REALLY ALARMED over the fac that it has been day three of my diet- ABSOLUTELY no cheating and I have not made any SOLID BOWEL MOVEMENTS– none and I did not ease into my diet, I had Chicken wings and Rice the night before I started the cleanse. I’m getting a little nervous. I don’t think I’ve lost a pound yet. At night I take my Sooth Move herbal laxative and don’t make a movement at all, then in the morining I take 1 litter of water and 1 teaspoon of UNIODOZED Celctic(I increased it to two teaspoons and Vomited Salt water everywhere. Five minutes after I take the salt water I usually experience a liquid movement, feel like nothing but salt water, it has a brown color and i see very little things in there but not a lot or even close to a lot. I may have a second movement just like the first, I urien a lot but I’m not see the reslut other have and I’m just wondering why? Please Advice!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I plan to do the MC for 15 days but is it safe to take the laxitive tea for such a long time.

IT’S RECOMENDED TO GO FOR 10 DAYS TO GET THE FULL BENEFITS.
ALSO ITS VERY IMPORTANT TO READ THE BOOK , THERE ARE STEPS TO FOLLOW,LIKE WHAT TO EAT WHEN YOU STOP ,IT’S VERY INPORTANT.

I find the laxative does not contribute very much to the digestive aid in bowl movements, but the salt water flush is excellent since salt is a natural laxative. The first time I tried this diet for 10 days I lost 13 pounds, the second time I tried the diet I lost 10 pounds. So, 23 pounds in 3 weeks isn’t that bad at all.

I just started the diet today and was wondering if the c.pepper is neccesary and I was also wondering how long would it take for me to lose 35 pounds if possible

i am getting ready to do the master cleanse for the third time hopefully 17 more pounds!!!!!

Chanel, 35 pounds is a lot of weight. You might want to go for something more achievable in 10 days. 10-15 pounds is a good start

How much muscle and water to you loose? You might not want to loose these things.

can pregnant women follows this master cleanse regime?

second time doing it in 4 years, first day today. i’m drinking coffee in the morning but only for today and tomorrow.

sigh, i really am hungry, tired and grumpy.

i’m hoping to quit smoking too. how soon after the cleanse can i have some wine?

thanks.

First day, almost over. I really feel the emotional and psychological need to eat is due to focusing too much on each hour….I am trying to refocus my mind and that works. Though I do want to loose a few pounds, I am ultimately trying to see if I can do it for the reason of detoxification, which, HELLO, is what it is all about.
I am wondering if I can continue with my exercise program? I am sure I will figure that out within the next few days.
And is it suggested to stop all supplements during the fast?

Hi, I am considering the master cleanse and I’m taking blood pressure medicine. Does anyone have experience with prescription meds during the cleanse, should I keep taking them as I normally do (I know you can’t give medical advice). I will probably keep taking them and monitor my bp throughout each day, see what happens. My goal is to get off meds!

Can you pls give me some advice, I have been doing the MC for 6 days now and has lost 7 lbs, I really want to lose the max I can lose in the 10-14 days. Any advice to get the best results?

i love to work out but im not loosing the fat but building muscles over it so is it ok if i do the master cleanser and work out at the same time ? im starting tomorrow..thanks

Hi. I am starting this tomorrow for 10 dayz atleast, if not more. This is the third time I am doing it this year. The first time I started I was about 128 pounds. And by the end I was about 115, and I am 5 feet n 4.5 inches. I feel that was good. Then I did it again cuz I had gained 10 pounds during a vacation. But I lost only about 6 pounds…

N now I am doing it again. Hoping to be 115 to 120 pounds again> Wish me good luck.

I am on day 6 of the Master Cleanse and have lost 6 pounds. The first few days seem to be the hardest and then it gets easier from there. I am planning on doing it for the 10 days, and so far see no problem. I tried the salt water flush today (day 6) and it works like magic! If you haven’t gone for a few days it will work immediately! I swallowed (using a straw makes it easier to drink) the mixture of 1 litre of water to 1 Tbsp. sea salt, and within 5 minutes it worked! I feel much better now and feel energized to continue for the 10 day duration. I didn’t use the tea laxative at all and just stuck to the lemon,maple syrup & cayenne mixture, drinking 2 litres a day. Is it necessary to do the salt water flush every day?

This is good information on the master cleanse. Thank you.

Hi – just starting off on the diet – first day my friend who just finished a month on the diet tells me I can have as much of the lemonade as I want – as it kills hunger. But so far (and its before midday), Ive already had 750mls of the lemonade.. Im worried as some websites say I can only drink 2L of it in the whole day.
Can someone please help?

Hi Its really difficult to find grade b maple syrup in my country. Is it possible to use molasses instead?

I’m 18 and I have to get a flu shot, should I wait before starting the cleanse and if so how long should I wait??

I’m on day 4 of the Master Cleanse. I’m so hungry I can’t take it but I’m pressing on. I had one Munchkin donut from Dunkin’ Donuts. That’s all. Did I just screw up my Master Cleanse?

I am on day 5 of the master cleanse and I have only lost one pound! I am 5′5″ and 137 lbs. Would like to at least reach 130. I’m doing the cleanse exactly as stated, no cheating at all. Please help!

Okay…I’m on day 10 of the MC and by day 7 I had only lost 5.3 pounds…yesterday when I weighed myself I was up 2.8 pounds and this morning had gained another .2!!! What is going on? I am still using the same 6 glasses of the organic lemons, grade B syrup, filtered water, and cayenne capsules (2 per drink) I am doing the laxative tea at night and the SWF in the morning (not every morning though…I have done it 4 times because when I did it the first time I also gained weight the next day so I thought I would do them less frequently)

Any thoughts?

Okay…woke up this morning and I have gain ANOTHER .6. That equals a gain everyday for the last 3 days. At this point most of the Master Cleansers have LOST 10-15 pounds. I am starting day 11 and have lost only 1.7 pounds. I am 5′4 and today weigh 158 lbs!!! WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME!!!!!

Lytricia, you need to relax. It’s hard to tell what’s wrong. What have you been doing besides the master cleanse?

maybe you are gaining muscle and going back to your body’s set point weight

I have tried this 5 times and always fail. I am usually a fighter and up for challenge. I wanna do this again tomorrow. I need support and encouragement

hi my name is patrick i lived in antigua&barbuda west indies.i want to start the MC after christmas .can you send me al the information i need about the diet what to take and what not to take ETC?.

Hi my name is patrick roberts,i lived in antigua & barbuda .i do not have one of katie jones book let to get the information how to go about with the MC diet.

can you please send me the information via my email about the things i need to get to start the diet and what not to take please i really want to try this thing.

I’m on the master cleane, It’s my fifth day I’ve only lost a pound. BUT I FEEL GREAT!!!!!! Better than I’ve felt in years. Everybody hang in there it only gets better.

Hello! I am on day 3 and started at 138.8 and am at 133.. weight loss is goinbg great, feeling a little headachy but u can do it! i plan to go 10 days!

Starting day 4 of the master cleanse. Just got off the scale and am down 10 pounds. I am a big girl (staring weight 319.8) now am 309.4 with 11 more days to go. I am also getting in 30-45 minutes of exercise a day. This cleanser is everything the book said it would be. I sleep soundly, I feel energetic, I have a clear head. I am thinking of staying on it for 30-40 days, just for the health benefits.

Of course, there are sooooooo many naysayers who are concerned that I am not getting enough nutrition, may get weak, doing harm. Ironic that I am well over 300 pounds and not one of them was concerned when I was sitting around downing baby back ribs, pizza, burgers, and ice cream. My co workers are the worst, but I do my daily affirmations and keep on the grind.

This cleanser is a God Send, I encourage everyone to stick with it…..Let’s make 2010 a Healthy Year for all. Happy New YEAR!

Great Job to everyone who is losing weight. I have been wanting to do this diet but give in about 7pm every night and start eating (which never ends well). If I can just make it through even 1 day then I might be able to do this. I only want to lose about 10-15 lbs. I hope I can send a message soon how I made through my first day with only drinking the lemonaid and not giving in to temptation.

As someone who has read the original Master Cleanse book by Stanley Burroughs and followed the regimen scrupulously twice, it is very disheartening to read comments by people who have not done their research yet are embarking on a 10-day detox such as this. (Particularly the super young, those just wishing to shed pounds fast without real care for their health, and those who are just generally uneducated about all the facets of the cleanse). I’m honestly not trying to discourage here – I just really believe in the benefits of the cleanse and that it really should be done in the purest form).

Please….read any master cleanse info you can get your hands on FIRST (books, this website, other websites), ask questions FIRST and throughout, and make sure you are committed before you start. If you slip up and eat or vary from the plan, take a break and make sure your goals for the cleanse are realistic and in line with the purpose of the cleanse. Also make sure that you have a solid to-do list because once your energy is back up and your focus is not on food you will need to find things to do with your time!

The cleanse is not easy, particularly in the beginning so you must be in the right mind set and also make sure that you are equipped with the supplies you need to be successful and the things you SHOULDN’T have around you are not there to tempt you. Please…. please make sure you know what you are doing before you start. If you do, you will see and feel the results people are talking about and not risk your mind and body in the process.

P.S. Kudos to Gail from sunny south FL. – it sounds like you are on the right track… and you are so right about the cleanse naysayers – they can kiss my behind! What you are doing will benefit you far more in the long run than ribs and pizza (though on day 4 of a cleanse myself warm -solid food does sound kind of good right now, i must admit )

Hello everyone!! I will start the MC tomorrow…any advice on how to keep myself from eating during the first few days???

What worked for me was getting on a BUDDY SYSTEM with 3 close friends. They were on standby tooffer texts of encouragement.

Hi Cheree, as for advice on keeping yourself from eating during the next few days… well, one thing I told myself was something along the lines of, “Do I have the strength to rise to a challenge for only 10 days of my life!? Out of my whole life this is only 10 days – of course I can do it!!!”

I also did it with two friends, which I found hugely helpful.

Hi! I’d like to go for the Master Cleanse Diet but I have a concern regarding my problem. Every 6 month I need to go through hyperhidrosis treatment with Botox injections and since it’s a toxin I think Master Cleanse diet will ruin the necessary threatment effect (which is quite pricy!). Any advise, please?

Thank you.

I think im going to do the cleanse for the 2nd time sometime next week. The first time I did it for only 6 days and lost about 7 pounds. This time im trying the laci le beau tea and molasses instead of grade ｂ syrup, I was told that was good to use instead of the syrup if you’re borderline diabetic like me..any info on my changes?

I want to know more about this great diet!

Jessica,
Thanks for posting your comments. I have used the master cleanse many times over the past 10 years. The emphasis on weight loss by the bloggers is understandable, but the health benefits, both physical and psychological/spiritual, far exceed the diet/weight loss aspects. The cleanse, done properly, can be transformative and provides opportunity for a fresh start in managing one’s health, diet and lifestyle. I encourage everyone to get Stanley Burroughs’ book – its a short, easy read, but chocked full of vital information and only costs $6.50 at Amazon.com.
I’ve just finished a 13 day cleanse today (orange juice never tasted so good!) and the opportunity to decide what my diet will consist of going forward ( you lose all specific food cravings during the cleanse) is nothing less than a blessing!
Joel, congratulations, and thanks for the website and great information. It is so refreshing to see such a generous and beneficial service being provided without asking the public to fork over their hard earned cash to access it. You’ll surely be blessed for your efforts!

I just finished 6 days on Master Cleanse and I feel great!

I am wondering though…I have high cholesterol and am wondering the cleansing of my body and liver will have any affect on my cholesterol levels?

On on day 2 of the master cleanse,what is the best soap,toothpaste and lotion to use why during the master cleanse,my skin is so itchy can i take a benadryl will this interfere the cleanse,also can grapefruits or limes.

Hey guys, I am on day 3 of the master cleanse and have not weighed myself coz I want to juat see the results at the end. My start weight was 70kg and I am hoping to lose about 10kgs. In my country its difficult to find sea salt and laxative herbal tea, so m just drinking the lemonada. Have not been working out but will definately start tomorrow. For ma it hasnt been that difficult and I hope to do it for as long as I can go. Will surely update after the exercise.

Ronald, how much have you lost? I’m on day 3 and only have dropped 1 lb. I’m doing everything right, just not losing as fast as I want to.

Hello! I am debating whether or not to try this. My willpower is basically nonexistent. I always start out with great intentions but give in after a day or two and revert to old (read: bad) behavoir. My mom did this cleanse a couple of years ago and suggested I do it too. At the time I was pregnant and couldn’t and now I just struggle with knowing I’ll probably spend the money on the ingredients that I utlimately won’t use. Oh, I would for a day or two, but what about after that? Anyway, sorry to ramble. On to my question:

If I do manage to suck it up and “just do it”, would it be a bad idea to warm a cup or two of the mixture? I know when you cook raw veggies some of the nutrients are cooked out of them. I was thinking it might help in the mornings to warm the lemonade as a kind of “coffee replacement” and help me deal with not having the coffee. But I wouldn’t want to destroy any of the healing/detox elements in any of the ingredients. What would the point be then? So anway, what are your thoughts about heating the mixture just a bit? Thanks!

Hi,
where can i find a list of items to use for this diet?
Are the results permanent?
What can i do to keep the weight off?
