Does the master cleanse diet work?
Beyonce says she lost 25 pounds doing it. Has anyone else tried it?

The Master Cleanse was invented in 1940 and has no long term health benefits, and some large risks. It doesn't remove any 'toxins' from the body, and although it might lead to TEMPORARY weight loss, it does not lead to a healthier body overall. The cleanse is simply starvation, not a diet. Although starving yourself for a few days is not dangerous if you are otherwise healthy, doing it for too long can deplete muscle tissue and damage your heart, kidney and liver.
Weight lost on the master cleanse will be gained back when you stop the cleanse. You are actually likely to gain MORE weight than you list. And if you never stop the cleanse, you'll starve yourself to death. Or your heart will stop or kidneys will fail. Take your pick really.
The master cleanse will leave you eating about 650 calories a day, that's less than half of what you need. There are children starving to death in South America who are eating more calories daily than that - and they are unlikely to survive to adulthood.
The only diet that can work over a long time is to eat a little bit less and to exercise a little bit more. It's not rocket science and it's not magic.

It does work, but you'll need a lot of will power. My friend went on the cleanse for 15 days and the results were amazing. It's really difficult doing this cleanse and you're gonna need the correct ingredients etc. Go to www.mastercleansedetox.com for more info :) good luck
