Have you ever done a Cleanse??

[princess_21]

A friend of mine recently did the "Master Cleanse" for 10 days and she has never felt better! She has lost some weight but that was NOT the intended purpose.

This is a cleanse to rid your body of the wastes and toxins that are lurking and cleansing is recommended once or twice yearly. The mixture is a combination of cayenne pepper, lemon juice, and maple syrup and you are to drink 64 oz. of it daily along with a lot of water and herb tea. It is also said to be a good kick start to any diet or healthy eating regimen. You are also said to not lose any muscle on this cleanse and have TONS of energy.

Has anyone tried any type of cleanse before or this one and any reviews??

There are several different types of cleanses you can do. The idea generally is to clean out yoru colon where waste from just regular daily life / diet accumulate. I think its good to do esp after following a restricted diet for a long time, i.e. a competition diet. Some of the more aggressive colon cleanses, I recommend you do NOT be away from a bathroom for any period of time because you won't have time to casually find one when you think you need it. But the type of cleanse you are talkign about is essentially a cleansing diet that will definitely help shuttle out lots of free-radicals & stuff.

I have done many variations of cleanses and I HIGH recommend them... Like sassy said dont be far from a bathroom after like your 3 day into it... and don't have anything stressful planned... the cleanse period is for relaxing and you should NOT work out while doing it... just sleep and let your body heal itself... You will feel like a million bucks after but MAKE SURE YOU DO IT PROPERLY!! I can't stress that enough!! if you dont know what you are doing DON'T do it, you will do more harm then good!!

I've done colonics before. I've never tired a cleanse like that. Sounds interesting.

Man if you can stand the cayenne pepper...go for it. I did the master cleanser about 2 years ago and dear god in heaven....i was MORTIFIED. Hurling and umm, well....let's just say it didn't work so well for me.

After day 4...I had to resume normal food intake.

I did have a g-pal who did the master cleanser and still to this day swears by it. Seems to be a quick way to drop a few...just be careful.
