I like to do it, because it helps eliminate toxic waste in my body. I guess its not for everyone. It also helps me to find my inner strength which is great for spiritual reasons. I also find that my body does not eliminate toxic waste as efficiently as you claim by itself, the cleanse is a great natural way to help the natural process of the body. I have kept off the weight and my skin has never looked better, and I feel really good physically and mentally. Like I said, its not for everyone, but I really liked the results.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-50994512565698853782012-07-25T19:37:39.828-07:002012-07-25T19:37:39.828-07:00Hi Vegiegail!

No more, no less. Perhaps it is all in my mind, but I feel wonderful thereafter! I call it my Will power cleanse! 40 days on the cleanse? Absolute insanity! <br />Stay healthy my Friend! <br />Marco/Lessonsinhealthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09755531200303789250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-10302226231462259222011-09-14T22:42:30.951-07:002011-09-14T22:42:30.951-07:00Hi Gail,
Appreciate your sentiment here for your ...Hi Gail,<br /><br />Appreciate your sentiment here for your friend. I also wholeheartedly agree that the master cleanse is a bad idea in general.<br />I want to mention something though, that there's no documented proof that exercise helps people lose fat, (vs losing weight which can be done by catabolizing muscle), and that weight gain is not because of a calories in, calories out equation. You might be very interested to read/listen to Gary Taubes excellent book 'Why we Get Fat and what to do about it' (http://www.garytaubes.com/).<br /><br />All the best,<br />LukeLukehttp://www.fourhourbodycouple.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-78245151780921376472011-08-04T17:55:07.572-07:002011-08-04T17:55:07.572-07:00Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thought...Thank you for stopping by and leaving your thoughts, Anonymous.

The celebrities being a good example I did this and I was fine. I even consulted eith a doctor and it wasn't as dangerous. The body is extroadinary and can go without food for a long period of time. In this instance your taking some calories aday so ur not completely starving. Some choose to do it because they are looking for spiritual clarity so I say don't knock it for everyone. If you get sick from doing this immediately stop otherwise ur body mind and soul just as long as u take percautions. This also has nothing with being lazy some people work and study and don't have time to lose weight quickly for something in peticular turn to it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-72877442970937546712010-02-09T06:10:38.564-08:002010-02-09T06:10:38.564-08:00I was searching on eBooks for a good book to help ...I was searching on eBooks for a good book to help me get through my diet. In the end I googled it and found this site http://www.hungryforweightloss.com.<br /><br />They are giving away a free ebook called "365 tips for healthy living". I didn't expect it to be any good because it's free but it's actually brilliant so I thought i'd share it here :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-3071530379619600662009-08-04T13:47:01.040-07:002009-08-04T13:47:01.040-07:00You're right to a certain extent.

I appreciate your OPINION...but I have a lot of friends who actually did this for 5 days....felt great at the end and didn't put the weight back on and got rid of a few skin problems from the toxicity. Please try to limit your comments as simply a commentary of your opinions. You mislead some people. I'm also on a low glycemic diet. I had restricted my intake to 1200 and gained weight. I'm not horribly obese either. I took it to 900 and gained 15lbs. It was a sensible diet with exercise.

In less than two weeks, she made herself quite sick. I don't know why some people believe that they can undo a lifetime of poor eating habits with sugar, water, and lemon juice (which is basically, what this is.) I'll bet you anything that 1. the person you write about did not stay on it for 40 days (who in their right mind would?) and 2. that she's gone back to most, if not all of her poor eating habits. You were very kind to take the time to send her such a thoughtful and caring message. How sad for her that she failed to hear it.jessicanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32730031.post-91670928607465033852009-05-13T14:19:00.000-07:002009-05-13T14:19:00.000-07:00Great post!

It's so important to get the word out that just because something is natural does not mean that it is good for you. In order for us to make truly compassionate choices, we need to be making informed choices as well.Nikkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04952813933678840873noreply@blogger.com
